Episode 9

The BBC documentary “Wind” deals with the effects of winds on our planet and how their action affects human life. Deserts and fertile fields, navigation and hurricanes: places and phenomena linked to the movement of winds and their diversity. Spectacular images take us to the different continents where the winds exert their power, from China to the Pacific. In California there is an instrument capable of recreating on earth the thermonuclear reaction that occurs every moment on the sun. Marco Visalberghi and Barbara Bernardini, in the report “The sun in a room” describe this sophisticated device made of 192 laser beams that in a spherical room of 10 meters by 10, reproduces the sun, and they explain the many scientific implications connected to this technology. Every era produces dangerous drugs. One of these drugs, even if not in the traditional sense, can be considered the internet.
