Internet talk-show with the explorers of the third millennium

October 24th, from 6 to 8 pm

Urban Center, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, Milano, MI 20123, Italy

The event, promoted in collaboration with the city of Milan, is an initiative from Scienceonthenet, Gruppo 2003 and Caffè-Scienza Milano, aimed to pay omage to physics and its extraordinary conquests in the last years: from the discovery of the Higgs Boson at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva to the photography of the primordial Universe, taken by the Planck space probe.

Both these international projects involved many Italian researchers, including several from Milan. One more reason to meet some of the protagonists of these studies. They will discuss how scientific exploration are redefining the idea of the Universe where we are living; they will talk about the age of the Cosmos, the Big Bang, the dark matter; they will explain the functioning of those big "machines" that are the international research projects nowadays; they will tell how is a researcher's life.

Karen Hallberg

In a world marked by wars and global crises, the new Secretary General of Pugwash tells us about the challenges of disarmament and the value of scientific dialogue for peace (photo: Karen Hallberg, source Wikipedia).

Pugwash is the name of a Canadian fishing village and a commitment to peace. In July 1957, at the height of the Cold War, twenty-two scientists gathered here for the first Pugwash Conference on Science and World Affairs. The group was led by the mathematician and philosopher Bertrand Russell, who, two years earlier on 9 July 1955, presented the Russell and Einstein Manifesto in London's Caxton Hall. In this manifesto, the philosopher and physicist (who died in April but had signed it) called on the world to renounce war.
