Pour améliorer sa connaissance de l'univers, le laboratoire européen sur la physique des particules (Cern) envisage la construction d’une machine monumentale à cheval entre la France et la Suisse. Ce mardi, le lancement d’un débat public sur le projet ravive le malaise d’une partie de la communauté scientifique vis-à-vis de ses lourds impacts climatiques et environnementaux.

🔬 The #BigScience Problem – when will the next #paradigmshift happen? ↩️

The biggest questions in #science are far from being answered.
Perhaps, especially in the age of #BigScience, we need #newwaysofthinking again—not just bigger machines.

🔬 Das 'BigScienceProblem – wann kommt der nächste #Paradigmenwechsel? ↩️

Die größten Fragen der #Wissenschaft sind noch lange nicht beantwortet.
Vielleicht braucht es gerade in Zeiten von #BigScience wieder #neueDenkweisen – nicht nur größere Maschinen.

How do we make ITER work? ⚡

Fusion energy could reshape the global energy system — but delivering it requires extraordinary physics, engineering, and international collaboration. ITER sits at that intersection of ambition and precision.

The scale of the challenge is matched by the opportunity. 🌍

Making it work

Plasma physics is at the core of fusion science. Plasma is an ionized state of matter similar to a gas--Why is it important at ITER?

ITER - the way to new energy

Totalement vertigineux 😱: "La somme des données accumulées sera telle que le Vera-Rubin aura produit, au bout d’une seule année de fonctionnement, plus de données astronomiques que… l’ensemble des observatoires qui l’ont précédé."
Des images de 3,2Gpixel. 1000 images par nuit.
5 Po par an de données brutes. 11 fois plus une fois traitées.
10 millions d'alertes par nuit.
Sur 10 ans.

Vera-C.-Rubin, l’observatoire qui va sonder les profondeurs de l’Univers

Imaginé il y a trente ans par un astronome américain, ce télescope d’un genre nouveau, installé au Chili, est prêt à entamer dix ans d’observation détaillée du ciel austral qui devraient bouleverser l’astronomie.

Although George Orwell was in favor of more skeptical/scientific ways of thinking, he was wary of Big Science because it could be exploited by an authoritarian state.

It's too bad we don't have Orwell around today to comment on Big Tech (though luckily we have @pluralistic ).

ITER didn’t appear overnight 🌍⚡
Its origins lie in decades of research and rare international cooperation.

I’ve been exploring how the project began and why it still matters today.

For those in the know, it comes as no surprise that #bigscience is out to get us all. They lied about the #moonlanding, & today I watched a video by the amazing & courageous #whistleblower @acollierastro. She exposes how they lie w/ pictures & stories. How #bigscientists mislead the public using #cats. Insidiously, they hide their real #agenda using a #satanic #mystical #language called #mathematics. These #racists are saying, "if you don't speak our language, get out!" Stay awake! /j
