À propos de cet audio
Journey through the cosmic frontier of chemistry as we explore the fascinating connections between alchemy, starlight, and particle physics. Discover how ancient alchemists' dreams of transforming lead into gold find surprising validation in modern science, with stars serving as nature's own alchemical furnaces. Learn how these stellar factories forge elements through nuclear fusion, creating the very building blocks that make up our world and our bodies.
We'll also venture into the cutting-edge realm of particle accelerators, where scientists recreate stellar conditions right here on Earth. Explore how these massive machines allow us to witness the birth of elements in controlled environments, giving us unprecedented insights into the fundamental forces that govern our universe. From the ancient quest for transmutation to the most advanced scientific instruments of our time, this episode reveals how humanity's understanding of matter transformation has evolved across centuries while remaining driven by the same timeless curiosity.
