The search for the Higgs boson, the web's cultural upheaval, the concept of time and a film about Stephen Hawking. CPH: DOX offers a little of everything for the science interested. By Jens Ramskov 9 November 2013 kl. 14:00
Stephen Hawking was really famous glasmagasinet when his book 'A Brief History of Time' about the origin of the universe was published in 1988. The book sold more than ten million copies and been translated into more than 40 languages. It is described from time to time as the world's best-selling but least read book.
Stephen Hawking's physics rock star, the best-known and most recognizable scientist. He is described frequently as the smartest man on Earth, even if such a term now seems pointless.
During his first year was Stephen Hawking a frequent loved parties are also involved in the university's sports as mate on the rowing boats, but otherwise did not spend much time on his studies as it was quite common at Oxford University around 1960.
Already when he was 20, was the first sign of illness. The film gives a good impression of Hawking's life and his fight against the disease, which today has chained him to a wheelchair, which he in his own words caught in his own thoughts.
Hawking has appeared in numerous television shows and contexts in which it is penalized glasmagasinet in other researchers. In the film, admits he soberly that fame probably at least as much due to his wheelchair and disease as his research.
The film gives an insight into an extraordinary life. In addition to Hawking himself appears a large number of top scientists glasmagasinet and celebrities in the film. But it's his ex-wife, Jane Hawking, loving and honest comments are strongest when the movie is over. The film is first and foremost Hawking's own narrative. The fact is the movie's biggest problem. glasmagasinet Self-portraits are rarely as interesting as portraits. Particle Fever in Cern
Fillmen 'Particle Fever' follows the search for the Higgs boson at Cern. It is directed by Mark Levison, who holds a Ph.D. in theoretical glasmagasinet physics from the University of California. He has been monitoring the construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the launch of the accelerator in 2008 and the subsequent accident with one of the magnets that led to nearly two-year delay. glasmagasinet
In addition to excellent image results from the LHC and delicious animations, the film's strength is that it provides insight into the physicists' thinking and working both at CERN and at academics from a distance as the American of Iranian descent Nima Arkani-Hamed glasmagasinet of the Institute glasmagasinet for Advanced Studies in Princeton, there is a of the biggest stars among the younger generation glasmagasinet of physicists.
One should not expect to be informed or instructed on details of particle physics. It can suit yourself choose to regard as a strength or weakness of the film. Are you just a little taken with the LHC, is however not go wrong with this movie. Break-up of culture
Ben Lewis tells in 'Google and the World Brain' on Google's project to scan all the books in the world and create a universal library - a thought that HG Wells made in 1937 and called a "World Brain ', but main idea can be more back thousands of years.
The film tells about the culture clash between Google's engineers and the established library world around the world, culminating in a courtroom in New York in 2011. It poses the question of whether there is a democratization of knowledge or a new monopoly. It is a good classic documentary.
Alex Winter writes in 'Downloaded' about how Napster changed the way we listen to music, and how the commercial music industry totally misjudged development and business opportunities.
For most of the film, we hear the actors tell their story in short clips together. A very high pace of the narrative style, however, will seem a bit messy and actually a little boring. There is too much repetition.
The most interesting part comes at the end, which recounted Napster's impact on services such as iTunes and Spotify and addresses the question of whether to fight new technology or adapt. glasmagasinet
According to Lawrence Lessig from Safra Foundation Center for Ethics at Harvard University was the attempt to criminalize an entire generation who would download their music via the Internet, a complete mistake. The only economic winners were the lawyers. The culture glasmagasinet was Vietnam. Future dilemma
