  • Physicist and WSF alum Janna Levin is accustomed to the mind-bending turns that the theoretical far reaches of the universe can take. But for all the unpredictability of space-time, it was life here on Earth that threw her for a loop. Levin recalls the strange sequence of events that sent her through a doctorate degree, across the ocean, and back again.
    Scientists, writers, and artists take to the stage to tell stories about their personal relationship to science. The result is a collection of poignant, hilarious and unpredictable tales sure to intrigue and surely hard to forget. Presented in collaboration with The Moth. Watch them all in The Moth at WSF Series.

    This is such a beautiful and tears-evoking talk. For years, it has been a joy to stumble upon and to listen to Janna's talks on astrophysics. I so highly recommend this playful and intimate glimpse of Janna talking about moments of her life and love. 💫💞

    Cool - I have Kartagener's Triad Syndrome - which includes dextrocardia with situs inversus as well . . . I have yet to meet anyone else with a similar condition . . . it's a great conversation starter - and also a great pickup line - because I can actually dance heart-to-heart and cheek-to-cheek literally . .

    Love Story in the Twenty-First Century
    from Portugal
    Uma história de amor só possível nas inquietações deste século, magia no seu estado puro.
    As ligação sentidas e nunca encontradas são aqui tocadas, desde a unificação da consciência e da física, ao infinito e o finito, à física quântica e à newtoniana todas estas unificações são sentidas nesta história e algumas até resolvidas.
    Sei agora, como por magia, um infinito é também finito sem precisar de recorrer a uma linguagem matemática.
    Quando percebemos que a mão esquerda que encontra a mão direita na analogia da viagem de circunvalação é a mão do filho nascido com o coração no lado direito o que sentimos é pura magia. Por momentos sentimos que o mundo é capaz não ser assim tão confuso como o pensávamos, até o mundo quântico se torna mais intuitivo.
    A Janna é a artista o marido é o cientista ou será o contrário? São um só?
    Brilhante
    Thank you very much

    What are Thermion. They are the first created matter particles within the dense mid core of the sun. Mostly Suns have the capacity and other planets don't. They change when they travel through space and create the others. When dark matters split or leaves the black hole they are specks in free space as Thermion. They pull space and grow to other formations.

      Other particles like electron boson and higgs are variations depending on temperature and pressure and velocity gradient.
