Bosons and galaxies: Milan celebrates the Nobel in Physics

Read time: 2 mins

Internet talk-show with the explorers of the third millennium

October 24th, from 6 to 8 pm

Urban Center, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, MilanoMI 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.

The Log and the Speck: The True Causes of Wildfires and Floods

The Parable of the Speck and the Log. Ottmar Ellinger the Younger

The wildfires in Los Angeles and other extreme events, as well as their media coverage, highlight how immediate causes often overshadow the real issue: climate change, which increases the intensity and frequency of catastrophic phenomena. Tackling this crisis requires urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions using already available technologies and investments to strengthen territorial resilience. Only a combination of mitigation and adaptation can prevent irreversible damage, ensuring a sustainable future for the next generations.

Even in the face of the vast Los Angeles wildfires—still ongoing—as in other recent circumstances, the media's attention is primarily focused on the most immediate and “proximal” causes: the malfunctioning of the power grid, insufficient water reserves, the unpreparedness of newly hired firefighters, and so on.
