40 milijard nebesnih teles in sedem milijonov opozoril na noč: astronomija vstopa v novo dobo

V goste na tokratno Frekvenco X prihaja profesorica za astronomijo na Fakulteti za naravoslovje in raziskovalka v Centru za astrofiziko in kozmologijo Univerze v Novi Gorici Andreja Gomboc, ki ji bodo v nedeljo na podelitvi najvišjih državnih nagrad za raziskovalne dosežke podelili priznanje ambasadorke znanosti Republike Slovenije. Prav po njeni zaslugi lahko namreč raziskovalci v Sloveniji dostopajo do neverjetne količine podatkov, ki jih sleherno noč ustvari Observatorij Vere Rubin v Čilu, najzmogljivejša digitalna naprava na svetu za sistematično opazovanje spreminjajočega se vesolja. Z njo se bomo pogovarjali o tem, kako nastaja najnatančnejši zemljevid neba, na katerem bo približno 40 milijard galaksij, zvezd in drugih nebesnih teles, in kako si dela v astronomiji ne znajo več predstavljati brez umetne inteligence. Gostje: Andreja Gomboc, profesorica za astronomijo na Fakulteti za naravoslovje in raziskovalka v Centru za astrofiziko in kozmologijo Univerze v Novi Gorici Željko Ivezić, vodja gradnje observatorija in tudi samega projekta LSST, profesor na Univerzi Washington v Seattlu v Združenih državah Amerika Mario Jurić, vodja skupine za asteroide, profesor na Univerzi Washington v Seattlu v Združenih državah Amerika Poglavja: 00:00:22 Danes pa potujemo v čilske Ande, kakih 2700 metrov nad morjem00:02:13 Kako se je začelo slovensko sodelovanje z observatorijem Vere Rubin?00:03:46 Kdo je bila Vera Rubin?00:05:37 Tehnologija v ozadju observatorija Vere Rubin00:09:17 Kakšno revolucijo za astrofiziko prinaša observatorij?00:10:58 Kakšne neznanke našega Osončja utegne razkriti?00:14:11 Česa pa se nadejajo v zvezi s preučevanjem plimskih raztrganj zvezd?00:20:17 Kako se spreminja delo astronomov zaradi umetne inteligence?00:21:53 Bi plejada napovedanih satelitov v orbiti utegnila ogroziti delo astronomov v prihodnje?00:23:19 Kaj Andreji Gomboc pomeni naziv ambasadorke znanosti?00:24:25 Kaj bi si želela, da bi domača in tuja javnost vedeli o znanosti v Sloveniji?00:25:51 Želite bolje spoznati letošnje Zoisove nagrajence?

Why Does Evolution Keep Inventing Mind Control?

What if your thoughts, fears and desires weren't entirely your own? What if something living inside your body could change your behaviour, without you ever knowing? Professor Hannah Fry and Michael Stevens (Vsauce) enter the disturbing world of parasites. From worms that grow inside crickets to viruses that alter animal behaviour, they explore the extraordinary lengths parasites will go to in order to survive and reproduce. But how does one organism evolve the ability to manipulate another? How do parasites overcome the body's defences? Along the way, Hannah and Michael investigate 500 million year old fossils, parasites that hitchhike on mosquitoes, the strange science of rabies and the unsettling relationship between cats, rats and a parasite that may even influence our own behaviour. ------------------- For more information about Cancer Research UK, their research, breakthroughs and how you can support them, visit https://cancerresearchuk.org/restisscience Cancer Research UK is a registered charity in England and Wales (1089464), Scotland (SC041666), the Isle of Man (1103) and Jersey (247).

Winter depression is real. Here’s what can help

As the nights draw in, many of us can experience low mood. But for a small proportion of people a more intense depression develops through the winter months. It’s a phenomenon that since the 1980s has been labelled seasonal affective disorder, or Sad, and can be debilitating for sufferers. To find out more about the latest scientific understanding of Sad, Ian Sample speaks to Russell Foster, professor of circadian neuroscience at the University of Oxford. He explains what scientists think the mechanism for the condition could be and what the evidence says about the best way to tackle it. • In the UK and Ireland, Samaritans can be contacted on freephone 116 123. In the US, you can call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org. In Australia, the crisis support service Lifeline is 13 11 14.

This episode explores some of the most memorable myths surrounding the Greek gods, from the struggles that shaped Mount Olympus to the complicated relationships between Zeus, Hera, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Poseidon, Aphrodite, and the other immortals. Discover the stories behind divine punishments, unusual births, jealous rivalries, and mortals whose encounters with the gods changed their destinies forever.

Dropping the Mask

Have you ever downplayed some aspect of your identity? Maybe you don’t hide it, but you don’t bring it up with certain people, either. It turns out that these subtle disguises can have powerful effects on how we view ourselves. This week, we bring you a favorite conversation with legal scholar Kenji Yoshino. He introduces us to the concept of "covering," and talks about what happens when we soften or edit our true selves. Then, we revisit our "Your Questions Answered" segment in which Kenji answers listener questions and comments about his work. Another way that we hide who we are is by expressing views that we don't actually believe. In our latest YouTube video, we look at this phenomenon — known as preference falsification — and how it can affect our relationships. Check it out, and make sure to subscribe so you don't miss any of our future videos. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hidden Gems: Macht Social Media unseren Urlaub kaputt?

Matcha schlürfen auf Bali, wandern in Südkorea oder Vanlife in Australien: Kaum etwas inspiriert uns so sehr dazu, bestimmte Reisen zu machen, wie Social-Media-Content. Also fahren wir auch dorthin. Gleichzeitig wollen wir im Urlaub einsame Strände und authentische Orte kennenlernen. Wie passt das zusammen? Wieso gehen wir oft dahin, wo alle hingehen? Und kann das die Urlaubsdestinationen nicht auch überfordern? Wir haben mit Content Creatorin Carmen vom Instagram-Kanal @fernwehkompass über ihre Erfahrungen mit social-media-inspirierten Reisen gesprochen. Und wir haben uns gefragt: Zerstört Social Media unseren Urlaub? Antworten gab uns unter anderem Sabrina Seeler vom Deutschen Institut für Tourismusforschung. Wie viele Leute jährlich auf Reisen sind, seht ihr beim World Tourism Barometer. Eine Pressemeldung zur Befragung von HolidayCheck findet ihr hier. Diese Umfrage von Bitkom Research hat außerdem die Rolle von Fotos für Social Media bei Urlauben analysiert. Gründe dafür, wieso wir alle an die gleichen Orte reisen, nennt diese Literaturübersichtsstudie. Forschung, die untersucht, welchen Einfluss Content Creator:innen auf unsere Reiseplanung und -buchung haben, findet ihr hier und hier. Das Konzept des “social-media-induziertem Tourismus” wird in diesem Paper erklärt. Und wenn ihr mehr dazu wissen wollt, wie uns das Smartphone auf Reisen entfremden kann, schaut mal in diese Studie. Dieses Paper analysiert zudem, welche Maßnahmen sich gut eignen, um die negativen Folgen des Tourismus einzudämmen. Welche Rolle Selfie-Parks dabei spielen, erörtert dieses Paper. Justin Biebers Musikvideo, das er auf Island gedreht hat, könnt ihr hier anschauen. Hier findet ihr Carmens YouTube-Kanal und ihren Instagram-Kanal “Fernwehkompass”. Die TikToks, Reels und Youtube-Shorts dieser Folge sind von @thekelliediaries , @brookechristoff, @mariamalayaa und @elsa.beausejour. Hier geht´s zu unserer Podcast-Empfehlung "Browser History". Wenn ihr mehr von unseren Hosts sehen wollt, schaut auf Instagram-Profilen von Lisa-Sophie und Julian vorbei.

O samoumevnosti poplav na kraških poljih

Čez nekaj dni bosta minili dve leti od smrti priznanega krasoslovca in geografa dr. Andreja Mihevca (1952-2024), zaslužnega raziskovalca z Inštituta za raziskovanje krasa v okviru Znanstveno-raziskovalnega centra SAZU v Postojni. Postojnski inštitut je ob objavi novice izpostavil, da se je dr. Mihevc ukvarjal s celo paleto raziskovalnih vprašanj krasoslovja. Predvsem sta ga zanimali morfologija in speleogeneza krasa, deloval pa je tudi na področju hidrologije, jamske klime, datacij sedimentov in rabe jam. Pri tem je združeval spoznanja različnih ved – od geografije, geologije, paleontologije, arheologije, zgodovine do biologije. Njegovo raziskovalno eruditstvo so vsako leto znova spoznavali tudi vsakokratni udeleženci in udeleženke Mednarodne krasoslovne šole. V krasoslovje je uvedel pojem brezstrope jame, torej jame katerih strop se je zaradi dolgoletnega raztapljanja apnenčaste kamnine toliko stanjšal, da se je njihov strop porušil. Po žledi konec januarja 2014 smo z njim pripravili pogovor, povod zanj pa je bilo njegovo za potrebe Civilne zaščite pripravljeno izobraževalno besedilo o delovanju pretoka podzemnih voda na Notranjskem. Eden od poudarkov tega besedila je zadeval samoumevnost poplav ob obilici padavin na kraških poljih, saj so prav te kraška polja ustvarila.
