Book excerpt: Conjuring Science explores the history of magic shows and scientific entertainment. It follows the frictions and connections of magic and science as they occurred in the world of popular entertainment in France from the mid-eighteenth to the early twentieth century. It situates conjurers within the broader culture of science and argues that stage magic formed an important popular conduit for science and scientific enthusiasm during this period. From the scientific recreations of the fairs to the grand illusions of the theatre stage and the development of early cinema, conjurers used and were inspired by scientific and technological innovations to create illusions, provoke a sense of wonder, and often even instruct their audience. In their hands, science took on many meanings and served different purposes: it was a set of pleasant facts and recreational demonstrations upon which to draw; it was the knowledge presented in various scientific lectures accompanied by optical projections at magic shows; it was the techniques necessary to create illusions and effects on stage and later on at the cinema; and it was a way to separate conjuring from the deceit of mediums, mystical showmen and quacks in order to gain a better standing within an increasingly scientifically-minded society.

Book excerpt: Au début du XXe siècle, la science semblait complète et les lois de la nature presque toutes découvertes, mais des chercheurs intrépides ont réveillé un géant endormi en découvrant la mécanique quantique. Dans le monde quantique, les objets peuvent se trouver en deux endroits à la fois, le voyage dans le temps est non seulement possible, mais nécessaire, la cause et l'effet peuvent s’inverser, et la simple observation d'un objet change son état. Des univers parallèles à l'antimatière, laissez-vous guider par le facétieux Tim James à la découverte des bizarreries du monde de l'infiniment petit !

Download or read book Un tre exceptionnel Gustavo Adolfo Rol written by Franco Rol and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-08-31 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le XXe siecle italien a vu naitre un homme qui, toute sa vie durant (1903-1994), fut a la fois une legende aux yeux de ceux qui n'eurent pas l'occasion de le rencontrer et un maitre spirituel pour quiconque avait eu la chance de le frequenter. Il s'appelait Gustavo Adolfo Rol. Issu de la haute bourgeoisie, toujours elegamment vetu, il etait dote d'une culture encyclopedique que renforcaient une ame d'artiste et un esprit mystique. Comme le prince Siddhartha, il avait atteint l'illumination dans sa jeunesse, mais n'en parlait jamais ouvertement. Cet Eveil lui permit notamment de developper de nombreuses "possibilites" que l'on qualifie generalement de "paranormales" clairvoyance, telepathie, precognition, bilocation, levitation ou encore telekinesie, pour n'en citer que quelques-unes. La presente anthologie reunit toutes les anecdotes racontees pendant plus d'un demi-siecle par des dizaines de temoins, dont certains comptent parmi les plus grands de la culture italienne et internationale.
