Ergebnis für "Humor" in Wissenschaft

Die Welt der Wissenschaft ist voller spannender Fragen, die viel zu oft viel zu langweilig beantwortet werden. Nicht bei uns! Hirnforscher und Bestsellerautor Henning Beck und Comedian Falk Pyrczek laden uns jede Woche herzlich dazu ein, ihnen in ihrer Show und ihrer Neugier zu folgen. Sie sprechen in diesem Podcast eine gute halbe Stunde miteinander und mit Spaß über ein Wissenschaftsthema aus den MINT-Fächern und rätseln und erklären gemeinsam.

Sebastian 23 – in den Sozialen Netzwerken auch bekannt als mondschaf23 – schreibt über 5712 einfache Wege, die Welt zu retten. Ganz konkret, praktisch, entschlossen - und vor allem optimistisch und mit Humor. Weil es wichtig ist, auch einmal über sich selbst zu lachen und nicht alles nur todernst zu nehmen. Schließlich geht es nur um die Zukunft der Menschheit. Seit vielen Jahren beschäftigt sich Sebastian 23 intensiv mit den Themen "Umweltschutz", "Verkehrswende" und "Klimakrise". Nicht nur als Vater zweier Kinder macht er sich Gedanken, wie es um die Zukunft bestellt ist.

Um andere zum Lachen zu bringen, kommt es besonders auf eine überraschende Komponente an – und wie wir alle wissen, lacht nicht jede und jeder über dieselben Witze, da ist Fingerspitzengefühl gefragt. Noch stärker ist das bei Ironie und Sarkasmus der Fall. Eines aber ist auf jeden Fall klar: Humor und Sachlichkeit schließen sich nicht aus, im Gegenteil: Gerade nüchterne Inhalte aus der Wissenschaft macht eine Prise Witz besser bekömmlich.

These 29 episodes encompass classic cosmic conundrums - including whether there is intelligent alien life out there, if infinity exists and how wormholes could allow us to time-travel - as well as probing more down-to-earth human quirks like our differing pain thresholds, our attraction to 'bad' foods like chips and chocolate and our varied regional accents. Plus, the duo embarks on a cheery evolutionary thought experiment as they wonder what would happen if humanity became extinct....

A gleefully gruesome look at the actual science behind the most outlandish, cartoonish, and impossible deaths you can imagine. What would happen if you took a swim outside a deep-sea submarine wearing only a swimsuit? How long could you last if you stood on the surface of the sun? How far could you actually get in digging a hole to China? Paul Doherty, senior staff scientist at San Francisco's famed Exploratorium Museum, and writer Cody Cassidy explore the real science behind these and other fantastical scenarios.

Author is now into his 47th year of operational meteorology, with extensive continuing education all along the way...although I still can't program my VCR.

When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the lunar surface in July of 1969, they wore spacesuits made by Playtex: 21 layers of fabric, each with a distinct yet interrelated function, custom-sewn for them by seamstresses whose usual work was fashioning bras and girdles. This book is the story of that spacesuit. It is a story of the triumph over the military-industrial complex by the International Latex Corporation, best known by its consumer brand of "Playtex" - a victory of elegant softness over engineered hardness, of adaptation over cybernetics.

A frequent update on regional weather for Western New York/Buffalo with some national content; latest on evidence-based climate science, including anthropogenic warming; and jousting as would Don Quixote with Junk Science. Laughs, from time to time, too.

The stark and inhospitable high-elevation landscape of Nevada’s Great Basin Desert may not be an obvious (or easy) place to settle down, but for self-professed desert rat Michael Branch it’s home. Of course, living in such an unforgiving landscape gives one many things to rant about. Fortunately for us, Branch—humorist, environmentalist, and author of Raising Wild—is a prodigious ranter.
