Yesterday there was a deflagration of ether vapour at the chemical institute in Innsbruck (Austria). Such a deflagration is a fast combustion at the boundary surface between the heavy ether vapour and the lighter air above it after ignition. If the ether vapour had been swirled with the air beforehand, there would have been a huge explosion after ignition. But not a detonation . This is because in a detonation, the initial ignition creates a pressure wave that spreads through the expl…

Dear club members, dear friends, In 2017, when I was asked by William Sutherland and Lutz Petersen to help save ipernity from shipwreck, I had just turned 65. I felt too young and energetic for a tranquil retirement. So I went for it, knowing well that it would be a challenging venture full of uncertainties because no one on the founding team was a qualified IT professional. But volunteering for a worthwhile non-profit project appealed to me, and as a passionate mountaineer I was used to hand…

Bienvenue au Jardin Majorelle Le Jardin Majorelle à Marrakech est l’un des endroits les plus visités du Maroc. Il a fallu quarante ans au peintre français Jacques Majorelle (1886-1962) pour créer, avec passion, ce lieu enchanteur, aujourd’hui au cœur de la ville rouge. Dans ses allées ombragées, on y déambule au milieu d’arbres et de plantes exotiques dont l’origine fait rêver, on y longe des chemins d’eau au murmure rafraîchissant et des bassins emplis de nénuphars et de…

Ma citation du jour : " J'ai réinventé le passé pour voir la beauté de l'avenir ." L. Aragon Il faut ré-enchanter ce monde qui nous échappe, fruit de notre fuite en avant toujours plus débridée. Comment mieux le faire qu'en jetant un œil bienveillant sur notre passé et en le réinventant comme nous le suggère Aragon ? De façon à concevoir notre avenir en miroir et sous de meilleures perspectives. C'est l'objet de la philosophie et des sciences humaines d'une façon g…

Na fresca noite deste morno inverno em que olhavas para o céu estrelado em muda contemplação e harmonia, os teus braços bestialmente puxados para trás das costas e uma cacetada levaram te das trevas da abóbada celeste ao breu dum poço sem fundo. Que chão é este que arranha a tua cara e esta dor nos ombros, mãos dormentes e pulsos a estalarem? Um jorro de água que te parece gelada, umas mãos que brutalmente te levantam e deixam te cair sobre o que aparenta ser uma cadeira, um…
