La dernière production d'AppleTV+ vient parler de l'espace, ou plutôt des conséquences d'être allé dans l'espace. Constellation suit Jo (interprétée par Noomi Rapace), une astronaute qui revient sur Terre après une catastrophe spatiale et découvre que des éléments clés de sa vie semblent avoir disparu. Cette série d'aventure explore les confins sombres de la psychologie humaine et relate la lutte désespérée d'une femme pour dévoiler la face cachée des voyages spatiaux et retrouver tout ce qu'elle a perdu. Les deux premiers épisodes sont disponibles sur AppleTV+ sur un total de huit. Créée par Peter Harness (scénariste sur La guerre des mondes ou encore Doctor Who), l'intrigue complexe va mettre en question la frontière du rationnel. https://youtu.be/4dAaLbsQSzI?si=SULAxOM6URIn0GhA L'astronaute suédoise Johanna "Jo" Ericsson (Noomi Rapace) fait partie d'une équipe de cinq astronautes internationaux qui effectuent une mission de recherche à bord de la Station spatiale internationale en orbite basse de la Terre. L'équipage, qui représente la NASA, Roscosmos et l'Agence spatiale européenne (ESA), est dans l'espace depuis près d'un an pour procéder à des expériences incluant le module de Cold Atom Laboratory de la NASA (un labo qui existe réellement et qui fait des recherches sur la physique quantique), sous la direction de Henry Caldera (Jonathan Banks), ancien astronaute de la mission Apollo. Quand une collision qui détruit une partie de l'ISS a lieu, le commandant de la station va mourir tandis que les autres rentrent à bon port au péril de leur vie. Mais de retour sur Terre, Jo se rend compte que tout ne colle pas par rapport à la vie qu'elle connait avec sa fille et son mari… En lisant le synopsis, il est difficile de cerner vraiment de quoi va parler la série en soi. En tout cas, elle aborde des thèmes comme la maternité, la vision de la vérité de chacun. Mais dans le fond, la série a une ambition de parler de physique quantique. Est-ce qu'il y a plusieurs univers ? Qu'est-ce qui enclenche le passage dans un monde parallèle ? Le décor de l'ISS et de l'espace sont des fonds parfaits pour un mystère. On comprend rapidement que les deux plans miroirs qu'on voit avec un Henry directeur ou un Henry qui fait des conventions en tant qu'ancien astronaute sont deux réalités différentes. Mais que s'est-il passé alors pour Jo ? En tout cas, les acteurs, surtout Banks, jouent deux personnages différents, et toute la subtilité de leur qualité de jeu est indéniable. [bs_show url="constellation"] Comme toute série AppleTV+, les plans et les images de Constellation sont belles et contemplatives. Mais de par son sujet, l'intrigue est complexe et il faut s'accrocher pour tout suivre. La série est le fruit d'une co-production entre le Royaume-Uni et la France via Haut et Court. Constellation est à retrouver sur AppleTV+ dès le 21 février.

Dr. Anita Sengupta is a rocket scientist and aerospace engineer with over 20 years of experience developing technologies that have enabled the exploration of Mars, Asteroids, and Deep Space. Some of her roles include responsibility for the supersonic parachute system for the Curiosity Rover that landed on Mars in 2012, leading and managing the development of the Cold Atom Laboratory, and serving as Senior Vice President of System Engineering at Virgin Hyperloop. Her research at USC now includes eVTOL, hydrogen fuel cell powered aircraft, supersonic boom mitigation technology, and in space power and propulsion systems.

Joining via Zoom from a lab here on earth, brilliant physicist Dr. David C. Aveline is back to talk about the Cold Atom Laboratory and the results of their experiments on the International Space Station. It’s an unbelievable achievement that should win a Nobel Prize if there’s any justice. You can read the article referenced … Continue reading 228 — The Cold Atom Laboratory
David Aveline is a physicist, and he works for CAL, the Cold Atom Laboratory. When you hear what they do, you won’t believe it. It involves atoms, the International Space Station, and very cold temperatures. We share some Citrus Wheat Ale from Angel City Brewing, and he tells me how all of this fascinating science … Continue reading 167 – Cold Atoms with David Aveline pt. 1
Hablaremos del pánico que a cundido entre los ricos y su prisa por tener un refugio por si acaso lo necesitasen para un futuro próximo, también hablaremos sobre el Cold Atom Laboratory que la NASA acaba de embarcar en la ISS y por último hablaremos de como el departamento de defensa intervino en la publicación de algunas patentes que no convenía que llegase al mercado común.
(recorded live) Speeding through tubes at nearly the speed of sound; a former NASA systems engineer is helping make the future of transportation a reality. When Elon Musk first proposed the Hyperloop in 2012, most people fell into two camps: enthusiastic or skeptical. Imagine if you could accelerate pods to twice the speed of an airplane, using a technology that was immune to weather and collision free, with low power consumption, using near-vacuum-filled tubes and linear motors. The idea itself is actually more than two hundred years old, but it never made headway until Elon's announcement, and since then, several startups have run with the idea. And contrary to common wisdom, he has no direct involvement in any of them. One of these companies, headquartered in Downtown LA, attracted a huge investment from Richard Branson recently. They're now called Virgin Hyperloop One, and they were the first to demonstrate the concept, on a test track near Las Vegas. And this week we're talking with their Senior VP of Systems Engineering. Dr. Anita Sengupta started her career working for NASA, on pioneering space projects like the Mars Rover and the Cold Atom Laboratory. And then, Hyperloop One tapped her to coordinate all of the pieces for their very complex engineering puzzle. This episode was recorded live at the ArtCenter College of Design's BOLD conference. I was curious to hear the variety of challenges she's up against as they bring a once crazy idea to a full production system. I also wanted to learn what it was like to go from a very large, governmental organization like NASA, to a startup environment like Hyperloop. And we talk about what the innovator of the future might look like, and what we all should do to prepare.

ENCORE Whether they swim, slither, jump, or fly, animal locomotion is more than just an urge to roam: it’s necessary for survival. Evolution has come up with ingenious schemes to get from here to there. Hear how backbones evolved as a consequence of fish needing to wag their fins, and why no animals have wheels. Motion is more than locomotion. Test the physics of movement in your kitchen and find out what popping corn has in common with the first steam engine. And while physics insists that atoms are always moving, find how what happens to these basic building blocks when placed in the coldest spot in the universe. The Cold Atom Laboratory chills material to nearly absolute zero, creating some weird superfluid effects as atoms slow down. Guests: Matt Wilkinson– Zoologist, science writer, University of Cambridge, author of Restless Creatures: The Story of Life in Ten Movements. Technology. Helen Czerski–physicist, University College London, author of Storm in a Teacup: The Physics of Everyday Life. Anita Sengupta– Aerospace Engineer and project manager of the Cold Atom Laboratory at NASA’S Jet Propulsion Lab.

Cold Atom Laboratory When it comes to Absolute Zero, Dr. Anita Sengupta is a total tease. Her new project, The Cold Atom Laboratory, cools atoms down to a fraction of a degree above Absolute Zero in order to create and verify a new state of matter first postulated by Einstein. Attaining Absolute Zero is […]
