Les mystères les plus étranges de l'Univers... (les paradoxes)

L’univers est rempli de phénomènes qui semblent défier notre logique la plus élémentaire. Des trous noirs capables de déformer le temps aux régions de l’espace où les lois de la physique paraissent se contredire, certaines découvertes ont profondément bouleversé notre compréhension du cosmos. Plus les scientifiques explorent l’univers, plus de nouveaux mystères apparaissent, révélant un monde bien plus étrange et déroutant qu’on ne l’imaginait.Dans cette vidéo, nous allons explorer plusieurs des plus grands paradoxes de l’univers moderne : le paradoxe de Fermi, l’énergie noire, les singularités, le problème de l’information des trous noirs, les fluctuations quantiques ou encore les incohérences entre relativité générale et mécanique quantique. Certaines de ces énigmes remettent même en question notre vision du temps, de l’espace et de la réalité elle-même.Pourquoi l’univers semble-t-il parfois illogique ? Est-ce simplement parce que notre compréhension est encore limitée… ou parce que la réalité est beaucoup plus étrange que tout ce que nous pouvons imaginer ? Entre cosmologie, astrophysique et physique théorique, cette plongée dans les mystères les plus fascinants du cosmos montre à quel point l’univers reste un immense territoire d’inconnues.

Making Waves

What happens when you give water a really good shake? You might expect splashing, spilling and general aquatic chaos - but under exactly the right conditions, something much stranger can happen... In this episode, Hannah Fry and Dara Ó Briain dive into the world of 'Faraday waves': amazing geometric patterns that, in certain circumstances, will appear on the surface of a vibrating liquid. They discover how the renowned physicist Michael Faraday accidentally discovered this remarkable phenomenon in the 19th Century; debate whether they could ever occur in a swimming pool; and find out what on earth alligators have to do with it. Along the way, the pair encounter eerie ‘square’ seas and learn about new ways satellites are helping us to understand the ocean’s wildest waves! If you have an everyday mystery for the team to investigate, contact them on curiouscases@bbc.co.uk.

Jehane Ragai on the science of authenticating artworks

Ever heard of the unsuccessful Dutch painter who decided to humiliate his critics by forging Vermeers, which the artworld subsequently dubbed 'masterpieces'? Or the businessman who bought a Marc Chagall painting that he displayed with pride for years, before a television investigation revealed to his horror that it was a fake? Today we're exploring the scientific techniques used to reveal forged artworks - and bring down scammers still trying to make millions from fake masterpieces. Jehane Ragai is an Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at the American University in Cairo, with a passion for science matched by her love of arts and culture. Early in her career Jehane helped analyse the Great Sphinx of Giza and later became fascinated by the world of art forgery, leading to her acclaimed book, ‘The Scientist and the Forger’. Her life has not been without its difficulties, but - perhaps unsurprisingly, as the daughter of renowned Egyptian feminist Doria Shafik - she’s not one to shy away from a challenge. And as she tells Professor Jim Al-Khalili, Jehane feels priveleged to have been able to integrate her twin passions into a career; advice she now passes on to her students. Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Lucy Taylor A BBC Studios production for Radio 4
