Podcasts about Christiaan Huygens

La existencia de Marte como un objeto errante en el cielo nocturno fue registrada por antiguos astrónomos egipcios. En el segundo milenio a. C. estaban familiarizados con el aparente movimiento retrógrado del planeta, que parece moverse en dirección opuesta a través del cielo. En el período del Imperio neobabilónico, los astrónomos realizaban observaciones sistemáticas de las posiciones y el comportamiento de los planetas. Sabían que Marte realiza 37 períodos sinódicos, o 42 circuitos del zodíaco cada 79 años. Los babilonios inventaron métodos aritméticos para realizar pequeñas correcciones a las posiciones predichas de los planetas. Los registros chinos sobre las apariciones y movimientos de Marte aparecieron antes de la fundación de la dinastía Zhou (1045 a. C.). Durante la dinastía Qin (221 a. C.) los astrónomos mantuvieron registros cercanos de las conjunciones planetarias, incluidas las de Marte. Las ocultaciones de Marte por Venus se observaron en los años 368, 375 y 405.​ El período y el movimiento de la órbita del planeta fue conocido en detalle durante la dinastía Tang (618 a. C.). La temprana astronomía de la Antigua Grecia fue influenciada por el conocimiento transmitido de la cultura mesopotámica. Los babilonios asociaron a Marte con Nergal, su dios de la guerra, y los griegos conectaron al planeta con su dios de la guerra, Ares. Los griegos usaron la palabra planēton para referirse a los siete cuerpos celestes que se movían con respecto a las estrellas de fondo y tenían una visión geocéntrica del firmamento, es decir, consideraban que estos cuerpos se movían alrededor de la Tierra. Aristóteles, estudioso de Platón, observó una ocultación de Marte por la Luna en 365 a. C. De esta observación concluyó que Marte está más alejado de la Tierra que la Luna. En el Egipto romano durante el siglo II d. C., Claudio Ptolomeo trató de abordar el problema del movimiento orbital de Marte. Las observaciones de Marte habían mostrado que el planeta parecía moverse un 40% más rápido en un lado de su órbita que en el otro. Esto entraba en conflicto con el modelo aristotélico del movimiento uniforme. Ptolomeo modificó el modelo del movimiento planetario añadiendo un punto desplazado desde el centro de la órbita circular del planeta alrededor del cual el planeta se mueve a una velocidad uniforme de rotación. Propuso que el orden de los planetas, al aumentar la distancia, era: la Luna, Mercurio, Venus, Sol, Marte, Júpiter, Saturno y las estrellas fijas.​ El modelo de Ptolomeo se convirtió en el tratado autoritario sobre la astronomía occidental durante los catorce siglos siguientes. En 1543, Nicolás Copérnico publicó un modelo heliocéntrico en su obra De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium. Este enfoque colocó a la Tierra en una órbita alrededor del Sol entre las órbitas circulares de Venus y Marte. Su modelo explicó con éxito por qué los planetas Marte, Júpiter y Saturno estaban en el lado opuesto del cielo desde el Sol cuando estaban en medio de sus movimientos retrógrados. Copérnico fue capaz de ordenar a los planetas en su orden heliocéntrico de forma correcta basado únicamente en el período de sus órbitas alrededor del Sol. El 13 de octubre de 1590, el astrónomo alemán Michael Maestlin observó una ocultación de Marte por Venus.​ Uno de sus alumnos, Johannes Kepler, rápidamente se convirtió en un seguidor del sistema copernicano. Tras la finalización de su educación, Kepler se convirtió en asistente del noble y astrónomo danés Tycho Brahe. Al no conseguir encajar el movimiento de Marte en una órbita circular como requería Copérnico, Kepler logró equiparar las observaciones de Tycho asumiendo que la órbita era una elipse y el Sol estaba localizado en uno de los focos. Su modelo se convirtió en la base de las leyes de Kepler del movimiento planetario, publicadas en su trabajo Epitome Astronomiae Copernicanae entre 1615 y 1621. Marte es demasiado pequeño para poder verlo a simple vista.​ Galileo Galilei fue la primera persona que utilizó un telescopio para realizar observaciones astronómicas y comenzó a observar Marte en septiembre de 1610.​ Este instrumento era demasiado primitivo para mostrar cualquier detalle superficial en el planeta,​ por lo que se fijó el objetivo de ver si Marte exhibía fases de oscuridad parcial similar a Venus o la Luna. La primera persona en dibujar un mapa de Marte que mostraba características del terreno fue el astrónomo holandés Christiaan Huygens. El 28 de noviembre de 1659 hizo una ilustración de Marte que mostró la región oscura distinta, conocida ahora como Syrtis Major, y posiblemente una de las capas polares.​ El mismo año logró medir el período de rotación del planeta, calculando aproximadamente 24 horas.​ Hizo una estimación aproximada del diámetro de Marte, suponiendo que es aproximadamente el 60% del tamaño de la Tierra, lo cual se acerca al valor moderno del 53%. El italiano Giovanni Cassini fue probablemente el primero en mencionar la capa polar sur de Marte, en 1666. En ese mismo año, utilizó observaciones de las marcas de superficie en Marte para determinar un período de rotación de 24 horas 40 minutos. Esto difiere del valor actualmente aceptado en menos de tres minutos. En 1672, Huygens observó un casquillo blanco borroso en el polo norte. El astrónomo británico de origen alemán Sir William Herschel comenzó a hacer observaciones del planeta Marte en 1777. En 1781, estimó el período de rotación de Marte en 24 horas 39 minutos y 21,67 segundos y midió la inclinación axial de los polos en 28,5°.

Christiaan Huygens erarbeitete die Wellentheorie des Lichts, begründete die Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung, erfand die Pendeluhr, entdeckte den Ring und den größten Mond Saturns. Doch ist er heute erstaunlich unbekannt. Lorenzen, Dirk www.deutschlandfunk.de, Sternzeit

Christiaan Huygens descubrió en 1656 la primera de las lunas de Saturno con un telescopio de su propia invención y le dio el nombre de Luna Saturni, hoy la conocemos como Titán. Giovanni Domenico Cassini descubrió las cuatro siguientes: Jápeto (1671), Rea (1672), Dione (1684) y Tetis (1684).En 1789, el año de la Revolución francesa, William Herschel descubrió las lunas Mimas y Encélado. En 1847 su hijo John Herschel propuso en sus Observaciones Astronómicas hechas en el Cabo de Buena Esperanza los nombres de los titanes, hermanos y hermanas de Crono (el nombre griego del dios romano Saturno) para los siete satélites de Saturno conocidos. Los siguiente dos satélites se descubrieron en 1848 y en 1898 y fueron llamados Hiperión y Febe. Conforme fue aumentando la calidad de las lentes y de los telescopios, se fueron descubriendo más lunas. En 1966 aparecieron Epimeteo y Jano. Cuando en 1997 se lanzó la misión espacial Cassini-Huygens cuya misión es precisamente investigar Saturno y sus lunas, ya se conocían 18 satélites de Saturno. Hasta el momento se conocen 62 satélites que orbitan alrededor del planeta de los anillos. De ellos 53 tienen clasificación oficial de lunas (esto quiere decir que tienen nombre) y los otros 9 son provisionales.

Christiaan Huygens was the greatest scientist working in the vital period between Galileo and Newton, as the scientific revolution gathered pace. He discovered Saturn's ring, invented the accurate pendulum clock, and devised a wave theory of light far ahead of its time.In this edition of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to author Hugh Alderney-Williams to find out more about Huygens and why — more even than Newton — he can be called the father of modern science.

Were you ever taught in school the impact the clock has made on the world?  Did you know it pretty much changed everything. So much so a Norwegian town tried to abolish time. In today's episode we connect Rolex, Galileo, Christiaan Huygens, The Golden Spike, Benedictine Monks, the US Naval Observatory, John Harrison and the Boer War in tracing the path of the clock. 

Físico, matemático e astrônomo holandês, Christiaan Huygens morreu em Haia no dia 8 de julho de 1695. Uma das suas principais contribuições para a ciência foi a criação do primeiro relógio de pêndulo, em 1656.  Vindo de uma importante família holandesa, ele foi influenciado pelo filósofo e matemático francês René Descartes, assíduo frequentador de sua casa na infância. Sua formação universitária transcorreu entre 1645 e 1649 na Universidade de Leiden e no Colégio de Orange, destacando-se na matemática.Veja a matéria completa em: https://operamundi.uol.com.br/historia/35942/hoje-na-historia-1695-morre-o-cientista-huygens-criador-do-primeiro-relogio-de-pendulo----Quer contribuir com Opera Mundi via PIX?

Voor aflevering 38 van Radio Horzelnest worden we geacht en geëerd met de komst van historica Ineke Huysman. Ineke werkt bij het Huygens Instituut voor Nederlandse Geschiedenis, op het gebied van elektronische bronontsluiting en automatisering. In deze podcastaflevering gaat zij met ons in gesprek over misschien wel de bekendste politicus die Nederland ooit heeft gekend: Johan de Witt. En dan met name over het laatste levensjaar van Johan en zijn broer Cornelis: 1672. Dit jaar ging de vaderlandse geschiedenisboeken in als het Rampjaar. Donkere wolken pakten zich samen boven de Republiek der Zeven Verenigde Nederlanden. Volgens een Nederlands gezegde was "het volk redeloos, de regering radeloos en het land reddeloos". Dit is het moment dat de Republiek tegelijkertijd wordt aangevallen door Engeland, Frankrijk en de bisdommen Münster en Keulen. En 1672 is dus ook het sterfjaar van Johan en zijn broer Cornelis. Bij de Gevangenpoort worden de gebroeders overmeesterd door een boze menigte om vervolgens op brute wijze aan hun einde te komen. In 2022 is het precies drie-en-een-halve eeuw dat het Rampjaar begon. Naar aanleiding hiervan heeft Ineke Huysman samen met Roosje Peeters de brievenbundel: ‘Johan de Witt en het Rampjaar' samengesteld. Eerder verschenen van hun hand de bundels ‘Johan de Witt en Engeland' (2019), gevolgd door ‘Johan de Witt en Frankrijk' (2020). Alle drie de brievenbundels zijn uitgebracht door Uitgeverij Catullus.

De Universiteit Leiden kent een lange geschiedenis van beroemde wiskundigen. In deze podcast laat wetenschapper Jan Vonk zien dat wiskunde altijd in ontwikkeling is, en dat doet hij aan de hand van historische documenten. Zo bespreekt Vonk onder meer een aantal documenten van de illustere Christiaan Huygens (1629 – 1695), die na zijn dood zijn archief achterliet aan de Universiteit Leiden. We horen onder meer hoe Huygens tot zijn beroemde slingerformule kwam, en wat huidige wiskundigen nog kunnen leren van zijn denkproces. Wiskundige Vonk laat je met andere ogen naar deze documenten kijken. Zo valt bijvoorbeeld op dat wiskundigen uit de tijd van Huygens veel meer woorden gebruikten dan formules. En je komt te weten dat de wiskunde geen afgerond verhaal is, maar eerder “een lange trektocht” op zoek naar meer antwoorden. In 2022 is Leiden de European City of Science. Ook Universitaire Bibliotheken Leiden (UBL) organiseert een uitgebreid programma met activiteiten over de stad van de wetenschap. Er worden tentoonstellingen, wandelingen, blogs, podcasts, boekensalons en talkshows voor het publiek gemaakt, waarbij natuurlijk stukken uit Bijzondere Collecties centraal staan.

Zelensky is not Soros' cousin We remind you again to sign up for the European Skeptics Congress! It's going to be great! In other news, Darwin's iconic ‘evolution as a tree'-notebook has been mysteriously returned which is good news in a pink bag. Our notes on conversion therapy last week got some terfs really upset on Twitter, but of course they get it all wrong. For TWISH we celebrate the birth of Christiaan Huygens, a true spirit of the enlightenment already in the 17th century. No poking this week, so we then dive into the news: INTERNATIONAL: Homeopathy Awareness Week UKRAINE: Zelensky not related to Soros INTERNATIONAL: Pinterest to ban climate misinformation UK: Anglo-European College of Chiropractic offering MSc course To round off, the charity organisation ‘Thinking Autism' promotes CEASE therapy and anti-vaxx nonsense and so they get his week's Really Wrong award.

Christiaan Huygens è un fisico e astronomo decisamente conosciuto dagli scienziati, ma il suo nome dovrebbe essere molto più famoso pensando a ciò che ha inventato: l'orologio. A volte, però, succede che i brevetti vengono contestati e la storia diluisce i fatti in modo imprevedibile.

Europese-Bankpresident Christine Lagarde nodigt ons allen uit, mee te denken over inspirerende mensen die ons als Europeanen doen beseffen hoe mooi het is dat wij samen leven en werken in een continent van grote diversiteit en rijkdom aan beschaving. Die vrouwen en mannen zouden de nieuwe serie eurobiljetten gezicht mogen geven. Zo'n invitatie slaan Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger natuurlijk niet af!Lagarde noemde als voorbeelden Simone Veil en Leonardo da Vinci. Eminente Europeanen, maar ook een beetje veilig eigenlijk. En bovendien, waarom maar zeven mensen voor zeven biljetten? Stel we zouden thematische groepen euro's gaan maken? Dan kun je die diversiteit van denkers en doeners die de Europese beschaving kenmerkt nog veel meer recht doen, meent PG.Aldus ontstaat in een soort politiek-historisch-culturele brainstorm een Betrouwbare Bronnen-overzicht van Europeanen. En Jaap en PG nodigen hun vrienden van de show uit hun verbeeldingskracht ook aan het werk te zetten.Zelf komen ze met allerlei groepen inspiraties, van helden uit het stripverhaal - een zeer Europese traditie! - naar dichters, denkers en Nobelprijswinnaars. Wat dacht je van Kuifje, volgens Charles de Gaulle zijn enige rivaal? Arturo Toscanini, die geniale musicus en virulente antifascist? Of Jane Austen, want de Europese beschaving strekt verder dan de landen van de eurozone of de EU. PG breekt een lans voor het duo Aristide Briand en Gustav Stresemann. Jaap noemt – heel ondeugend - Margaret Thatcher!En zo gaan we langs op de Disibodenberg bij de wijngaard van Hildegard von Bingen, in het Sint Petersburg van Aleksandr Poesjkin en Anna Achmatova, het Den Haag (en Parijs!) van Christiaan Huygens, het Praag van Rilke en Kafka en het geheime laboratorium in Bletchley Park van Alan Turing.

While Batman and Superman previously set records with the sales of their debut comics, Spider-Man has officially taken the crown, thanks to a recent sale by Heritage Auctions. Amazing Fantasy #15 is the first issue in which Spider-Man, Marvel's most iconic superhero, appeared in comics. A copy of the original issue was sold this week for a whopping $3.6 million, making it the most expensive single comic issue of all time. The 1962 Marvel Comics issue breaks a record that was set by DC's Superman debut earlier this year. An issue of Action Comics #1, which debuted in 1938, previously sold for $3.25 million, which was the biggest sale at the time. The issue of Amazing Fantasy #15 that broke the sales record this week is one of the highest-graded issues of that comic in the entire world. That specific issue is graded CGC 9.6, meaning it's in near mint condition. It is one of only four issues to receive that grading. There are no copies graded CGC 9.8, the next-highest grading on the scale.14th September 2021 – 20th anniversary of Gamecube released in Japan - https://www.kotaku.com.au/2021/09/the-nintendo-gamecube-turns-twenty-today/On September 14, 2001, the GameCube first went on sale for the first time in Japan. Two months later, on November 18, the console was released in North America. Facing off against the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox, the GameCube was the first Nintendo console to use optical discs — though, the console wasn't designed to play DVDs or CDs like its rivals could. While the console was no all-inclusive living room entertainment hub, the GameCube did the video gaming part extremely well and boasted a solid library, including Super Smash Bros. Melee, Metroid Prime, Pikmin, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Chibi-Robo!, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, among many others, such as third party exclusives like Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader as well as Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, which was a Metal Gear Solid remake co-developed by Silicon Knights that featured new cutscenes by filmmaker Ryuhei Kitamura of Godzilla: Final Wars fame. One of the most last legacies of the GameCube has been its controller. This is a controller design so good — so perfect — that Smash pros were getting their old ones repaired and that Nintendo even re-released it just for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for Nintendo Switch. Nintendo launched the Wii in 2006 and a year later, the previous gen console was discontinued. It wasn't the success that Nintendo hoped, but it occupies an important place in game console history.16th September 2021 – 100th anniversary of Sir Norman Brearley's first scheduled air service - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-16/brearley-commemorative-flight/100463236 A century after an accomplished young pilot made his mark on aviation history, 55 people have boarded 23 planes for a flight to commemorate his daring feat. The fleet departed Geraldton today as part of a tour following the route of Australia's first scheduled air service, which left the city for Derby on December 5, 1921, under the leadership of Major Norman Brearley. Later knighted for his services to aviation, Major Brearly had returned from the aerial battlefields of World War I with a swag of awards for bravery. He had survived being shot down in no man's land during the war and crawling back to English lines with bullet holes in both lungs. But the experience did little to dampen his enthusiasm for flying, and after the war he won a contract to launch the first scheduled air service in the country. The service was to change the lives of remote West Australians who had previously relied on boat and rail for mail and passenger transport.17th September 2021 – Home computing pioneer Sir Clive Sinclair dies passes away at 81 - https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/sep/16/home-computing-pioneer-sir-clive-sinclair-dies-aged-81 Sir Clive Sinclair, the inventor and entrepreneur who was instrumental in bringing home computers to the masses. Sinclair invented the pocket calculator but was best known for popularising the home computer, bringing it to British high-street stores at relatively affordable prices. Many modern-day titans of the games industry got their start on one of his ZX models. For a certain generation of gamer, the computer of choice was either the ZX Spectrum 48K or its rival, the Commodore 64. Elon Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX chief, commented on Twitter on an article calling Sir Clive the father of the ZX Spectrum: “RIP, Sir Sinclair. I loved that computer.” In the early 1970s he designed a series of calculators designed to be small and light enough to fit in the pocket at a time when most existing models were the size of an old-fashioned shop till. “He wanted to make things small and cheap so people could access them,” his daughter said. His first home computer, the ZX80, named after the year it appeared, revolutionised the market, although it was a far cry from today's models. At £79.95 in kit form and £99.95 assembled, it was about one-fifth of the price of other home computers at the time. It sold 50,000, units while its successor, the ZX81, which replaced it, cost £69.95 and sold 250,000. Many games industry veterans got their start typing programs into its touch-based keyboard and became hooked on games such as as 3D Monster Maze and Mazogs. Sinclair became a household name as his products flew off the shelves and was awarded a knighthood in 1983. But he would also become synonymous with one of his less successful inventions – the Sinclair C5 – which would cost him financially. He died from an illness related to cancer that he had for over a decade, in London.Remembrances14th September 1712 – Giovanni Domenico Cassini - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Domenico_CassiniAn Italian (naturalised French) mathematician, astronomer and engineer. Cassini was born in Perinaldo, near Imperia, at that time in the County of Nice, part of the Savoyard state. Cassini is known for his work on astronomy and engineering. He discovered four satellites of the planet Saturn and noted the division of the rings of Saturn; the Cassini Division was named after him. Giovanni Domenico Cassini was also the first of his family to begin work on the project of creating a topographic map of France. The Cassini space probe, launched in 1997, was named after him and became the fourth to visit the planet Saturn and the first to orbit the planet. Cassini observed and published surface markings on Mars (earlier seen by Christiaan Huygens but not published), determined the rotation periods of Mars and Jupiter, and discovered four satellites of Saturn: Iapetus and Rhea in 1671 and 1672, and Tethys and Dione (1684).Cassini was the first to observe these four moons, which he called Sidera Lodoicea (the stars of Louis), including Iapetus, whose anomalous variations in brightness he correctly ascribed as being due to the presence of dark material on one hemisphere (now called Cassini Regio in his honour). In addition he discovered the Cassini Division in the rings of Saturn (1675). He shares with Robert Hooke credit for the discovery of the Great Red Spot on Jupiter (ca. 1665). Around 1690, Cassini was the first to observe differential rotation within Jupiter's atmosphere.Cassini initially held the Earth to be the centre of the Solar System, though later observations compelled him to accept the model of the Solar System proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus, and eventually that of Tycho Brahe. "In 1659 he presented a model of the planetary system that was in accord with the hypothesis of Nicolaus Copernicus. In 1661 he developed a method, inspired by Kepler's work, of mapping successive phases of solar eclipses; and in 1662 he published new tables of the sun, based on his observations at San Petronio." Cassini also rejected Newton's theory of gravity, after measurements he conducted which wrongly suggested that the Earth was elongated at its poles. More than forty years of controversy about the subject were closed in favour of Newton's theory after the measurements of the French Geodesic Mission (1736 to 1744) and the Lapponian expedition in 1737 led by Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis Cassini was also the first to make successful measurements of longitude by the method suggested by Galileo, using eclipses of the Galilean satellites as a clock.Attracted to the heavens in his youth, his first interest was in astrology. While young he read widely on the subject of astrology, and soon was very knowledgeable about it; this extensive knowledge of astrology led to his first appointment as an astronomer. Later in life he focused almost exclusively on astronomy and all but denounced astrology as he became increasingly involved in the Scientific Revolution.In 1653, Cassini, wishing to employ the use of a meridian line, sketched a plan for a new and larger meridian line but one that would be difficult to build. His calculations were precise; the construction succeeded perfectly; and its success gave Cassini a brilliant reputation for working with engineering and structural works.In the 1670s, Cassini began work on a project to create a topographic map of France, using Gemma Frisius's technique of triangulation. The project was continued by his son Jacques Cassini and eventually finished by his grandson César-François Cassini de Thury and published as the Carte de Cassini in 1789 or 1793. It was the first topographic map of an entire country.Famous Birthdays14th September 1921 – Paul Poberezny - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_PobereznyAmerican aviator, entrepreneur, and aircraft designer. He founded the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) in 1953, and spent the greater part of his life promoting homebuilt aircraft. Poberezny is widely considered as the first person to have popularized the tradition of aircraft homebuilding in the United States. Through his work founding EAA and the organization's annual convention in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, he had the reputation of helping inspire millions of people to get involved in grassroots aviation. Many attribute his legacy with the growth and sustainment of the US general aviation industry in the later part of the 20th century and into the early 21st. For the last two decades of his tenure as chairman of the EAA from 1989–2009, he worked closely with his son, aerobatic pilot and former EAA president Tom Poberezny, to expand the organization and create several new programs within it, including an aviation education program for youth and the EAA Museum, among other initiatives. Poberezny was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 1999, received the Wright Brothers Memorial Trophy in 2002, and was ranked fourth on Flying's list of the 51 Heroes of Aviation; he was the highest-ranked living person on the list at the time of its release. Poberezny founded the Experimental Aircraft Association out of his Hales Corners, Wisconsin home in 1953. It started as predominately an aircraft homebuilding organization in his basement, but later went on to capture all aspects of general aviation internationally.Poberezny flew over 500 aircraft types, including over 170 home-built planes throughout his life. He was introduced to aviation in 1936 at the age of 16 with the gift of a donated damaged WACO Primary Glider that he rebuilt and taught himself to fly. A high school teacher owned the glider and offered to pay Poberezny to repair it. He hauled it to his father's garage, borrowed books on building/repairing airplanes, and completed the restoration soon after. A friend used his car to tow the glider into the air with Poberezny at the controls; it rose to around a hundred feet when he released the tow rope and coasted to a gentle landing in a bed of alfalfa. A year later, Poberezny soloed at age 17 in a 1935 Porterfield and soon co-owned an American Eagle biplane.After returning home from World War II, Poberezny could not afford to buy his own aircraft, so he decided to build one himself. In 1955, he wrote a series of articles for the publication Mechanix Illustrated, where he described how an individual could buy a set of plans and build an airplane at home. In the magazine were also photos of himself fabricating the Baby Ace, an amateur-built aircraft (and the first to be marketed as a "homebuilt") that he bought the rights to for US$200 a few years prior. The articles became extremely popular and gave the concept of homebuilding worldwide acclaim.He designed, modified, and built several home-built aircraft, and had more than 30,000 hours of flight time in his career. Aircraft that he designed and built include:Acro Sport I & II"Little Audrey"Poberezny P-5 Pober SportPober Jr AcePober PixiePober Super AceHe was born in Leavenworth County, KansasEvents of Interest14th September 1914 – HMAS AE1, the Royal Australian Navy's first submarine, is lost at sea with all hands near East New Britain, Papua New Guinea. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAS_AE1#Deployment_and_loss At 07:00 on 14 September, AE1 departed Blanche Bay, Rabaul, to patrol off Cape Gazelle with HMAS Parramatta. When she had not returned by 20:00, several ships were dispatched to search for her. No trace of the submarine was found, and she was listed as lost with all hands. The disappearance was Australia's first major loss of World War I. After the discovery of the submarine in December 2017, Rear Admiral Peter Briggs, retired, said the likely cause of its loss was a diving accident. He added: The submarine appears to have struck the bottom with sufficient force to dislodge the fin from its footing, forcing it to hinge forward on its leading edge, impacting the casing. On 14 September 2018, a team of researchers headed by the National Maritime Museum director Kevin Sumption concluded their investigation into the sinking of AE1. They concluded that a ventilation valve, which was likely open to make the tropical conditions a little more bearable while the submarine was cruising on the surface near the Duke of York Islands, was insecure when the submarine dived, causing a flood of the submarine's engine room and total loss of control of the AE1. The submarine subsequently sank below 100 metres and imploded, killing everyone on board instantly.14th September 2007 – The Dark Hour premiered in Spain - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0484273/ On this day in 2007 (in Spain), The Dark Hour enjoyed its theatrical release. The SciFi/Horror starred Omar Muñoz and Pepo Oliva, and here's the plot summary : "The eight year old boy Jesús has been living in a crumbling underground facility since he was born with eight survivors of an apocalyptic war: the leader Maria and her lover Pablo; the gays Lucas and Mateo; the astronomer Magdalena and the teenager Ana; the soldier Pedro and the lonely Judas. They are permanently under surveillance, threatened by the contaminated mutants The Strangers and once a day they have to lock themselves in their rooms without heating to protect against the dangerous ghosts The Invisibles that attack in the Cold Hour. They cannot go to the surface, destroyed by a nuclear war. When they need supplies, medications and ammunition, they organize expeditions to a store. When the menace of The Invisibles affects the safety of the group of survivors, they need to reach the surface."IntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/Email - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comSupport via Podhero- https://podhero.com/podcast/449127/nerds-amalgamated See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Crash at Crush of 1896 Back in the day before marketing appeared in washrooms, projected on buildings, geo-targeted to your phone and dragged on banners across the sky, people could raise brand awareness by simply blowing things up. This is the story of the worst marketing stunt in American history. With anything, like music or social media or free speech, no form of communication is inherently evil. It all comes down to what you do with it. What will the cast of today's story do with it? On this episode you will hear about skull fractures, eye gouges, steam burns, people playing catch with flaming metal and showers of boiling water.

Prêt pour un voyage dans le temps? Je t'emmène en 1665, une lointaine époque où un mathématicien-astronome et physicien Hollandais a fait une découverte que je trouve fascinante. Christiaan Huygens de son petit nom a remarqué que deux horloges à balancier, mises cote à cote, se mettaient en opposition de phase quelle que soit leur position de départ. Reprenons cette histoire palpitante : qu'est-ce que c'est que l'opposition de phase? C'est quand le balancier de l'horloge 1 va à droite en même temps que le balancier de l'horloge 2 va à gauche. Ce qui est intéressant, c'est que les horloges se synchronisent petit à petit, quelle que soit leur mouvement de balancier initial. Et si on y regarde de plus près, ce que je trouve encore plus fascinant, c'est qu'en les mettant face à face, elles se retrouvent donc en miroir, leurs balanciers font le même mouvement en même temps! Ca ne te rappelle rien? La synchronisation revient à se placer sur la même longueur d'ondes que son interlocuteur. Par exemple en adoptant le même rythme respiratoire et le même débit de parole que lui. Mais également en reprenant ses gestes, son attitude et parfois en utilisant son vocabulaire. Ne faire qu'un avec son client, sans pour autant l'imiter maladroitement et le singer (auquel cas, on prend le risque de se le mettre à dos! Personne n'apprécie de croire qu'on se moque de lui!). Dans le cas des horloges, ce que j'ai aimé, c'est qu'il est histoire de vibrations, d'ondes et d'énergie. Trois mots forts que j'ai envie de transposer côté business!

What did people watch before movies?In our modern lives, I think it’s deceptively easy to get into a mindset of imagining our ancestors just patiently waiting for someone to invent cinema so they’d have something to entertain themselves.But, in reality we know that humans have been seeking out ways to entertain themselves since the first cave dweller figured out how to make his friends and family laugh at shadows on the cave wall. When cinema arrived in 1895, it was just the latest in a long line of entertainment options we’ve created to keep ourselves amused on this little planet of ours.The story of film comedy is about invention and evolution. Cinema itself is an amalgamation of new technologies and older repurposed inventions. It is both technology and art working in partnership.Comedy is the same way in that there are many branches on comedy’s family tree before we get to the particular descendant we call film comedy.So, in the spirit of providing context to the history of film comedy, every so often we may venture off the main timeline to go back and look at some of these technologies and art forms that paved the way for the movies that make us laugh today. And that’s why this episode finds us dropping into the middle of the 17th century, about two-and-a-half centuries before the Lumière brothers first recorded their comedy film L’Arroseur arrosé.Some links of interest from this episode:Guest Links:Jeremy Brooker: magic lantern performance and research websiteIan Christie: website - TwitterFilms Referenced in This Episode: (Links can be found on the Movie Listings page)Chaplin (dir.

Listen in as I discuss the Jean Harlow quote, “When you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.” I also discuss the Systems Theory, discovered in 1665 by Christiaan Huygens, and the William Turner proverb from 1545, “Birds of a feather flock together.”

O fluxo e a torrente (fragmentos heréticos, parte 1) (Anfiteatro do Esquecimento - ep. 12) “(...) sinto vergonha pela forma com que isto [a lanterna mágica] veio a ser conhecido como sendo de minha lavra. As pessoas são gentis por afetarem maravilhamento, mas posteriormente vão ridicularizar tal feito, e não sem razão." (Christiaan Huygens, inventor da lanterna mágica, em carta a seu irmão, Lodewijk, tentando ocultar e sabotar seu próprio invento, que seria demonstrado publicamente por seu pai, Constantijn) A heresia sobreviveu, em grande parte, pela insegurança de seus algozes, os ortodoxos, os dogmáticos. Pois o dogma existe diante da perspectiva dele ser quebrado – daí a necessidade obsessiva de registro da heresia, procedimento que possibilitou ao pesquisador (historiadores, escritores, editores), posteriormente, mergulhar nesses registros fragmentários para recuperar a fúria do pensamento herético. Nesse sentido, Johannes van der Beeck, aliás Torrentius (1589-1644) permanece um caso único: herege da imagem, teve suas pinturas destruídas com uma única exceção – sua "natureza morta" emblemática, que permanece um mistério até os dias de hoje.

If you know the name of Christiaan Huygens at all, it'll probably be as the man who gave his name to a space probe. But Hugh Aldersey-Williams, author of Dutch Light: Christaan Huygens and the Making of Science in Europe, joins this week's Book Club podcast to argues that this half-forgotten figure was the most important scientist between Galileo and Newton. He tells a remarkable story of advances in optics, geometry, probability, mathematics, astronomy - as well as the invention of the pendulum clock and the discovery of the rings of Saturn - against the backdrop of a turbulent post-Reformation Europe and the beginnings of an international scientific community. Plus, we identify an early-modern prototype for Dominic Cummings in the court of Louis XIV.  

In this episode of Travels Through Time the author and journalist Hugh Aldersey-Williams takes us back to 1655 and the vibrant heart of the Dutch Golden Age to meet Christiaan Huygens, a figure oddly forgotten by us today but who was once venerated as the greatest mathematician, astronomer and physicist of his age. Hugh guides us back to the year 1655 to see Christiaan make his thrilling discovery of one of Saturn's moons; to watch him struggle with the mathematical problem of pendular motion, and to follow him as he enters Paris - the city he would come to love - for the very first time. Much much more about the scenes, characters and materials discussed in this conversation can be found at www.tttpodcast.com The discussion in this episode of Travels Through Time arises from the characters and events described by Hugh Aldersey-Williams in his new book, Dutch Light: Christiaan Huygens and the making of science in Europe which is recently published in hardback by Picador Show notes Scene One: 25 March 1655. With Christiaan and his telescope in the garden of the Huygens’s house in The Hague. The discovery of Saturn’s moon later to be called Titan. Scene Two: 4 March 1655, Huygens recommends a Polish inventor’s clock for Dutch patent, demonstrating that he is already thinking about the problem of pendular motion.

Binti has a talent for mathematics and is a master harmonizer. But on the way to the planet where Oomza is located, aliens called the Medusae attack, leaving Binti as the lone student survivor. She has to fend for herself and survive the five-day journey with a shipful of the aliens.  Binti discovers that the Medusae are planning an attack and so she has to try and broker a peace agreement between them and the leaders of Oomza. What happens transforms her in more ways than one, and Binti’s life is forever changed. She becomes even more of an outsider to the Himba people than she was by simply leaving, and becomes an object of curiosity at best and revulsion at worst by those around her.The three novellas have themes of transformation, being an outsider and the courage to enact necessary change when everything is resisting that change.  They are simply and beautifully written, the world-building is simply done without a lot of explanation and yet I wasn’t lost at all. I highly recommend reading the trilogy as one complete novel because you get a really compelling, complete story.  Jeremy's Selection: Daredevil: The Man Without FearBy: Frank Miller (Author) and John Romita Jr. (Artist)Originally created by Stan Lee and Bill Everette in 1964 and known as the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. However, amongst the many stories about this “street level” vigilante, one will always rise to the top. In 1993, a limited edition, five issue comic was released blending the solemn and poetic words of Frank Miller along with the gritty and violent artwork of John Romita Jr. The story delves into the origin of Daredevil, taking key moments from his childhood, teen, college and adult life that led him to wear the suit. What we quickly learn is that Matt Murdock is not the hero we need, he’s the hero we deserve. Surrounded by tragedy, first with the death of his father, then the abandonment of Stick and later Elektra, Matt tightly holds onto the shred of humanity that puts him just slightly on the right side of good and wrong. What makes this story unique does come from the origin story itself, or the tragedy Murdock faces on his way to becoming a masked vigilante. No, the beauty of the story comes from an almost cold detached narrator giving us insight into what we’re seeing. Written in third person, we are left wondering if these words are from some godlike figure, or if they’re Murdock himself from the future looking back. The simple statements packed with emotion, both good and bad, rope in the reader and take them on a turbulent ride. By book five, when we finally see Murdock don the classic red devil costume, it feels earned, as if he was given no other option. We the reader are left feeling that it is the only choice we could have made. In five issues, we are given an emotional landslide that provides context for the existence of another person, or at least, a devil.Rating: Five out of Five StarsWant to Join our Book & Comic Review for April:  Trish ReviewsTrail of Lightning: By Rebekah Roanhorse https://amzn.to/2UEdbZI Jeremy ReviewsThe Walking Dead: Volume 1https://amzn.to/2QGK9rt

In this episode we look at the various methods to determine the distances to the stars including Christiaan Huygens' comparison method, Robert Hooke's zenith telescope and Wilhelm Struve's and Freidrich Bessel's telescopic measurements.  We also review the various ideas as to the distributions of these stars as advanced by Isaac Newton, William Stuckley, Thomas Wright and William Herschel.

There’s no such thing as “the correct time”. Like the value of money, it’s a convention that derives its usefulness from the widespread acceptance of others. But there is such a thing as accurate timekeeping. That dates from 1656, and a Dutchman named Christiaan Huygens. In the centuries since, as Tim Harford explains, the clock has become utterly essential to almost every area of the modern economy.

In this episode, we look at the work of four men who bridge the period between Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton: Giovanni Battista Riccioli, Rene Descartes, Christiaan Huygens and Robert Hooke.  In this discussion we pay particular attention to each man's work in physics that will set the stage for Newton's great synthesis.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the planet Saturn with its rings of ice and rock and over 60 moons. In 1610, Galileo used an early telescope to observe Saturn, one of the brightest points in the night sky, but could not make sense of what he saw: perhaps two large moons on either side. When he looked a few years later, those supposed moons had disappeared. It was another forty years before Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens solved the mystery, realizing the moons were really a system of rings. Successive astronomers added more detail, with the greatest leaps forward in the last forty years. The Pioneer 11 spacecraft and two Voyager missions have flown by, sending back the first close-up images, and Cassini is still there, in orbit, confirming Saturn, with its rings and many moons, as one of the most intriguing and beautiful planets in our Solar System.

Thony Christie, historian of science and proprietor of the Renaissance Mathematicus and Whewell's Ghost stops by to talk about Galileo, Newton, the Copernican controversy, and why it was smart to believe that the Earth didn't move. The story of how we came to understand that the Earth was not the center of the Universe is one of the most fascinating stories in the whole of the history of science. The debate over Copernicus' heliocentric model lasted for centuries, and was carried out by mathematicians, theologians, philosophers and scientists. Observational evidence initially favored a geocentric model, and definitive proof did not appear until long after the first precise data (captured by Tycho Brahe and compiled by Kepler) had persuaded most scientists of their truth.

AstronomyCast 230: Christiaan Huygens, by Fraser Cain & Dr. Pamela Gay

Transcript: It’s amazing to think that the Sun, which dominates the daytime sky and brings warmth and life to the Earth, is fundamentally the same as the stars in the night sky. Galileo started this thinking with his observations using the telescope to show that the stars in the night sky have a huge range of apparent brightness. Perhaps the Sun is just the very brightest of these stars. In the late seventeenth century Christiaan Huygens estimated the distance to the stars by emitting sunlight through a pinhole and adjusting the pinhole until the light that entered was the same as from the bright star Sirius. It was one-twenty-seven-thousandth of the Sun light implying to Huygens that Sirius was twenty-seven thousand times further away than the Sun. Newton used a similar reasoning by using Saturn as a mirror reflecting sunlight and comparing its brightness to the bright stars. Also, the inverse square law could be used to estimate that the brightest stars may be as much as 100 thousand times further away than the Sun. These are all crude estimates that make fundamental assumptions about the nature of the stars relative to the Sun.
