Conversas vadias

Uma série de entrevistas com um pensador brilhante

Um programa histórico emitido pela RTP em 1990.

POP! The Science of Bubbles

Physicist Dr Helen Czerski takes us on a journey into the science of bubbles

Physicist Dr Helen Czerski takes us on an amazing journey into the science of bubbles. Bubbles may seem to be just fun toys, but they are also powerful tools that push back the boundaries of science.

The soap bubble with its delicate, fragile skin tells us about how nature works on scales as large as solar system and as small as a single wavelength of light. Then there are underwater bubbles, which matter because they are part of the how … Ler mais

The Secret Life of the Sun

Kate Humble and Helen Czerski reveal the inner workings of the sun and investigate why scientists think changes in the sun's behaviour may have powerful effects on our climate

90 million miles away from us is the power that shapes our world – the sun. We see it shine in the sky above us, but beyond our sight something dramatic is happening – the sun is going into overdrive.

It’s more active now that it’s been for a decade, sending eruptions of super-heated plasma and vast waves of radiation towards our planet. With the potential to disrupt our lives in dramatic ways.

Using the latest satellite images, and the … Ler mais

Secrets and lies: The hidden power of maths

Mathematician Dr Hannah Fry presents the 2019 CHRISTMAS LECTURES

We think our lives unfold thanks to a mix of luck and our own personal choices. But that’s not quite true. An unseen layer of mathematics governs every aspect of our world. 

Life’s most astonishing miracles can be understood with probability. Big data dictates many of the hot new fashions we follow. Even our choices on Netflix, or our choice of who we marry, is secretly influenced by computer algorithms. 

In a series of lectures packed with mind-boggling demos and … Ler mais
