Podcasts about space warps

Hens Zimmerman neemt ons wekelijks mee naar de ruimte en onthult hij op zijn geheel eigen wijze de geheimen van ver buiten de dampkring. Deze week bespreekt Hens de invloed van Amerikaanse presidenten op de astronomie in de VS.

It's Tuesday and... Kevin Mullaney is our guest! Kevin is the founder of the Improv Resource Center, a company dedicated to the art of improvisational theater and improv comedy. Kevin is the head teacher of the IRC and often travels around the country teaching workshops. Kevin has taught improvisation for 20 years starting at iO Theater in Chicago, later at the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theatre in New York and more recently Under the Gun Theater in Chicago. He is the host of the Improv Resource Center Podcast and the webmaster of the Improv Resource Center. Among the shows he directed recently were: Based On a True Story, Trending, Haunted, This Film is Not Yet Made, Vampyre Hunter High, Dear James Franco, Space Warps and A Swarm of Spoilers. He also created two tournaments in recent years: The Improv Classic and The Tournament of Shows. He is the former Artistic Director of the Chicago Improv Festival and of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in New York, where he also served as the chief administrator of their training program. He directed numerous improv shows for the UCB Theater including “Tracers”, “Retraced”, “Individually Wrapped”, and “The Swarm in Slow Waltz Around Rage Mountain”. He is the creator of Cage-Match and the Annual 3 on 3 Tournament at UCB. He recently won the 2015 INNY award from Improvisation News for the best “Best Improv Comedy Instructor/Coach”. Kevin lives in Chicago and teaches through the Improv Resource Center. He plays poker and likes dogs.

David Pares is an Adjunct Professor at, the University of Nebraska at Omaha, Metropolitan Community College, Nebraska Wesleyan, and at Buena Vista College. He teaches Physics, Meteorology, Physical Science, Astronomy, Physical Geography (Weather and Climate) & (Soils and Landforms), Physical Geology and Statistics. In his spare time he runs Space Warp experiments in his garage. He says that Space Warps, like the ones in the sci-fi movies that bend space allowing faster-than-light travel, occur in nature. He has observed the phenomenon and now he believes he has recreated it on a very small scale in his lab. Pares explains his experiments, how he believes Space Warp technology works, and the exciting implications for the future. You can see his lab and read more about his experiments at his website: www.ParesSpaceWarpResearch.org.

A massive black hole lies at the center of our galaxy, a monster hunkered down in the Milky Way's innermost sanctum. Here, the bizarre laws of General Relativity take over, as the physics we know break down. And our spaceship is headed straight for it. Join us on a special dramatized 26,000 light-year adventure to the Galaxy's hulking heart of darkness. We explore a cosmos held together by gravity – discover why it's not really a force – and try to avoid getting too close to a black hole, the ultimate expression of gravity. This program is part of the traveling exhibit: “Black Holes, Space Warps and Time Twists,” a production of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
