„Valentinstag: Fruchtbarkeitsrituale, halbnackte Männer, Sexfaktor hoch – Romantiklevel fragwürdig?“ Trifft dieses Zitat auf Lenias und Luisas Vorstellung vom Valentinstag zu? In dieser Folge klären die beiden erstmal, woher der Valentinstag eigentlich kommt – und warum er historisch weniger mit Romantik und mehr mit Ritualen, Symbolik und Fruchtbarkeit zu tun hatte. Während Luisa den Tag grundsätzlich schön findet, weil er die Liebe ins Zentrum rückt, hat Lenia lange wenig mit ihm anfangen können – für sie zählt eher der persönliche Jahrestag einer Beziehung. Danach wird's persönlich: Luisa beschreibt ihren perfekten Valentinstag zwischen Spaziergang, Einkehr, deftigem Essen und gemeinsamem Vorlesen. Lenia setzt auf Brunch, Spa und einen guten Film. Natürlich darf auch ein Online-Test nicht fehlen: „Wie verrückt bist du nach Valentinstag?“ – mit ehrlichen Reaktionen, kleinen Seitenhieben und der Frage, wie viel Romantik eigentlich echt ist und wie viel einfach nur Inszenierung.

Réécoutez FG Chic invite Café Mulot by DJ' PYL du dimanche 8 février 2026FG CHIC avec DJ' PYL se posent pour une pause Brunch, Déjeuner ou Goûter pour une instant de douceurs de gustatives pour vivre un moment suspendu entre le sucré ou le salé. Au cœur de Paris, dans un endroit magique d'une ancienne cour d'école qui a été transformée en paisible terrasse. DJ' PYL sera au platine avec un son Funk, Disco, Soul & Groove avec une sélection de remix rare. L'espace Café MULOT, Place des Vosges s'étend le long du jardin, transition lumineuse, colorée et végétalisée, entre la sortie du musée, la cour et l'entrée. Dans la cour intérieure, la fontaine y chante jour et nuit pour apporter sa douceur et son énergie. Un écrin romantique, chic et serein comme un hommage à celui qui deviendra le chantre du mouvement littéraire romantique français au XIXe siècle, Victor Hugo.

Fühlt sich gerade alles ein bisschen grau an? Zu wenig Energie, zu wenig Lust, zu viel Alltag? Same.Nach einem überraschend deprimierenden Brunch, ein paar sehr ehrlichen Gesprächen und einer spontanen Reise nach London habe ich gemerkt: Mit mir ist nichts „falsch“, ich habe mein Leben nur kurz aus der falschen Perspektive betrachtet.Ich erzähle, was London mir über Aktivität, Alltag und Lebenslust beigebracht hat und teile konkrete, alltagstaugliche Tipps, wie ich versuche, mein Leben wieder aktiver zu gestalten: kleine Routinen brechen, neue Wege gehen und die eigene Stadt mit Touristenaugen sehen.Am Ende will ich von euch wissen: Was hält euch bei Laune, wenn alles zäh ist? Ich bin bereit, mein Gute-Laune-Protokoll zu erweitern.

How do supermassive black holes actually form in the early universe? Is the Cosmological Constant not so constant after all? And what would be on the astrophysical menu at a Cosmic Brunch? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome astrophysicist Thresa Kelly, who is a second year grad student working on her PhD at the Rochester Institute of Technology. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, one of the recent studies made using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, aka DESI, located at Kitt Peak National Observatory near Tucson, Arizona. According to the DESI team's research, there is a about a 95% chance that the dark energy levels in the universe have changed over cosmic time. This “Dynamical Dark Energy model” offers the first, tiny hint that the Cosmological Constant may not be so constant after all. Thresa, who is using DESI and other sources for her work putting together a catalog of AGNs, or active galactic nuclei – the supermassive black holes found at the center of galaxies, tells us about what DESI is trying to do and why it's so important. The end goal of Thresa's project is to estimate the black hole masses of AGNs, and she's gotten spectra data on over 2,000 objects that have been observed using DESI. Thresa can't get into the details of her catalog, which hasn't been published yet and includes about 14,000 objects, but Allen and Chuck join her in a discussion of what's going on with black hole masses, accretion discs, Eddington Luminosity, black hole growth, galactic evolution, and more. Our first audience question comes from Kathryn, who asks, “When we look through a standard telescope looking at "past" versions of planets/stars/etc., how far back in the past are we observing?” Thresa explains how we use red shift to measure how long light from a galaxy takes to reach us to help us determine how far in the past the objects are. For instance, an AGN with a red shift of 7 can reach back to the period of “Cosmic Dawn” or, as Thresa puts it, “Cosmic Brunch” taking place 12 billion years ago. Thresa talks about her experience in an REU, or “Research Experiences for Undergraduates,” funded by the NSF, which enabled her to spend time studying at the University of Hawaii and cemented her desire to go to grad school, get a PhD, and become a “real scientist.” She explains how each step of her career brought her from Kansas to where she is today. Our next audience question comes from Walter: “If a quasar's jets are aimed directly away from Earth, would we then not be able to see the supermassive black hole?” Thresa says that depends on how you define “seeing” a black hole, and that even without visible light, you can discern black holes by looking at other wavelengths like x-rays and ultraviolet rays which are generated by different component areas of the black hole like the corona, accretion disk, or the torus. Chuck notices a shelf of games behind Thresa and asks her about them. She pulls out Stardew Valley, a farming simulator she plays with her fiancé and her fellow grad students. It's not long until Chuck, Allen and Thresa are geeking out about Dungeons and Dragons. Finally, Chuck asks Thresa to speculate on a specific scientific discovery that may come out of her PhD thesis work. Her answer: figuring out how supermassive black holes actually form in the early universe. If you'd like to know more about Thresa Kelly, you can find her on LinkedIn.
