Hello to everybody
In this session’s program: we rediscover space, from the circle of the Earth to the limits of the universe. We also try to understand the shortage of medicines that hit France and look at the unknown sarcophagi discovered during the construction of Notre-Dame de Paris, not forgetting to visit the History shops for a better understanding. how we provided and fed ourselves in the past. Very nice listening ?! Peter Robert
Zoom of the week: let’s explore space
Since when has man been aware of the universe? To be a speck of dust lost in infinity? You need to proceed step by step. If exploring space is an ancestral dream, first of all it was necessary to imagine the Earth, to imagine a sphere. Then comes the solar system, the galaxy, and finally the universe. There, perhaps most of all, other forms of life have yet to be discovered.

? Division of pensions. Whether the number comes from the unions or the police, one thing is certain: the mobilization against the pension reform project on January 19 was massive. The focus is on finance, but the debate also questions the place of aging in society and what retirement means today.

One of the oldest “kitchen still lifes”, depicting market produce and tableware, these works are engraved on the 4,000-year-old vizier Senousret’s funerary stela.

The weekend is finally here. Maybe take the opportunity to pose in front of the new hit HBO series: The Last of Us? Adapted from the video game, it tells the story of how human civilization collapses after a parasitic fungus gradually turns people into zombies. A scenario inspired by real parasites that can control their hosts, e.g
“Cordyceps” mushroom with ants. But don’t worry, for the moment, a person eats more “cordyceps” on the contrary. See you next week!
