A weekly programme that illuminates the mysteries and challenges the controversies behind the science that's changing our world.
Professor Brian Cox and Robin Ince host a witty, irreverent look at the world through scientists’ eyes. Joined by a panel of scientists, experts and celebrity science enthusiasts they investigate life, the universe and everything in between on The Infinite Monkey Cage from the BBC.
From the smallest building blocks of life to the furthest stars, the curious monkeys pull apart the latest science to reveal fascinating and often bizarre insights into the world around us and what lies beyond. Can trees talk to each other? Can science help you commit the perfect murder? What might aliens look like and the burning question of our time, are strawberries alive or dead? Join them as each episode they put a different scientific topic under the microscope, from aliens, black holes and hedgehogs, to bacteria, poison and the Big Bang. With past guests including actors Dame Judi Dench and Sir Patrick Stewart, comedians Steve Martin and Conan O’Brien, astronaut Tim Peake, primatologist Jane Goodall and mathematician Hannah Fry, The Infinite Monkey Cage promises to make you laugh, enrich your knowledge and leave you with a deeper appreciation for the universe that we call home. Whether you’re a seasoned scientist or someone who nodded off in physics class, listen in to learn all about funny, fascinating and sometimes ridiculous topics – with the occasional monkey business.
V Frekvenci X tokrat potujemo v svet visokoenergijske astrofizike z izjemno znanstvenico Carole Mundell. Z njo se bomo pogovarjali o črnih luknjah, eksplozijah zvezd, umetni inteligenci, znanstveni diplomaciji ... in tudi o tem, kako je v laboratoriju odkrivala rojstva novih črnih lukenj, medtem ko je njen novorojenček spal. Carole Mundell je astrofizičarka, direktorica znanstvenega programa pri Evropski vesoljski agenciji, nekdanja znanstvena svetovalka britanske vlade in prva ženska, ki ji je Univerza v Novi Gorici podelila častni doktorat.
V tej sezoni imamo tudi novost - rubriko Xpertiza: letos bomo ob koncu vsake epizode posebno pozornost namenili mladim raziskovalcem, doktorskim študentom in doktorjem znanosti na začetku kariere. S svojim delom redko zaidejo pod medijske žaromete, čeprav pogosto opravljajo izjemno pomembno raziskovalno delo. Kot prvi v Xpertizi gostuje doktorski študent filozofije na Univerzi v Mariboru Martin Justin, ki je pretekli teden dobil tudi nagrado Uroša Seljaka za najboljše znanstvene objave slovenskih študentov.
