Story
Every physicist agrees quantum mechanics is among humanity's finest scientific achievements. But ask what it means, and the result will be a brawl. For a century, most physicists have followed Niels Bohr's solipsistic and poorly reasoned Copenhagen interpretation. Indeed, questioning it has long meant professional ruin, yet some daring physicists, such as John Bell, David Bohm, and Hugh Everett, persisted in seeking the true meaning of quantum mechanics. What Is Real? is the gripping story of this battle of ideas and the courageous scientists who dared to stand up for truth.

Story
Throughout the modern era, Galileo Galilei has been presented as a victim of cruel torture of conscience, theological narrow-mindedness, and ecclesiastical harassment typical of a dark, closed-minded Church. Frequently portrayed as such in theaters due to prevailing political ideologies, the story of Galileo points to the long-held tension between “science and faith,” “technology and ethics,” and “progress and the Church.” The story of the real Galileo, however, which has not been told—until now—is sure to rock the established narrative.

Una provetta di gas radioattivo lanciata in una fontana, un'intuizione improvvisa davanti a un semaforo londinese, la scoperta - quasi per caso - che l'atomo può spaccarsi. Sembrano episodi scollegati. E invece sono le prime scosse di un terremoto che cambierà il mondo: l'esplosione della bomba atomica. Tra le tessere del domino allineate in attesa di innescare la serie di eventi che condurranno a Hiroshima e Nagasaki, tre figure spiccano su tutte. Enrico Fermi, mente pragmatica e geniale, che porterà la scienza italiana nel cuore del Progetto Manhattan.

Few figures in modern history ignite as much admiration, controversy, and curiosity as Elon Musk. A man of grand visions and explosive contradictions, Musk has redefined what it means to be an entrepreneur in the 21st century. His name is synonymous with the technologies of tomorrow—electric cars, reusable rockets, artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, and more. He is a billionaire many times over, a disruptor of multiple industries, a hero to futurists, and a villain to sceptics.

Story
Sandra Hunke ist Anlagenmechanikerin für Sanitär, Heizung und Klimatechnik. Sie baut schöne Bäder und Heizungen ein. Schon als Kind war es ihr größter Wunsch, Handwerkerin zu werden, doch der Weg dorthin war steinig: In der Berufsschule behandelte man sie wie einen Fremdkörper, sie wurde ausgegrenzt und im Unterricht nicht ernst genommen. Abwertung und Kritik von Kollegen, Kunden und Fremden machten es ihr schwer, an sich und ihre Fähigkeiten zu glauben. Bis heute hat sich die Lage für Frauen im Handwerk kaum verbessert.

Story
Alcune storie sono troppo assurde per non essere raccontate, come l'epico scontro Alessandro Volta VS Luigi Galvani, tra rane morte ed energia elettrica che ha ispirato la nascita del mostro di Frankenstein. O ancora Stephen Hawking e quella sua fissa per i buchi neri, Margherita Hack che pedalava verso l'osservatorio tra le bombe della seconda guerra mondiale, Richard Feynman che scassinava casseforti durante il progetto Manhattan, Lord Kelvin il barone della morte termica dell'Universo, Enrico Fermi che ha scisso l'atomo e dato il via all'era nucleare.
