lot of stuff last saturday...
first there was this "night of science" event happening in the region, basically all the research institutes were open to the public and offering talks and other stuff. i took part with my institute, we were just showing some astronomical movies on a screen in front of the big room where the big shots were giving talks... i just spent there a couple of hours, my german is not that great but i was curious about the public outreach of such an event... and indeed, it was very busy, people all over the place, families with curious kids asking questions... i managed to answer to a couple of them, desperately crawling with my hopping german, mostly repeating the same sentences i heard from the other guy just a minute earlier: not that i don't know what's happening in a cosmological simulation, i just don't know... the german words for that!
so after those two hours i had enough of explaining to curious kids that "the universe at the beginning was all the same everywhere but not actually the same"... i know it really sucks, but i had no better way to explain initial density fluctuations in german! that' s why a wise decision for me and the visitors was the one to leave...
wise for me because i went to a great concert -->
stefano battaglia, Re: Pasolini
cannot really explain with words what we felt during the concert, just that it was magic.
and that i fell in love with the drummer, who was playing and moving in the most adorable way!
and that stefano is really nice, we spoke to him for a while, showing off all our italianity, and with roberto the drummer too, obviously!
i'm still enchanted! if i were not that sleepy i would go and listen to the cd that i obviously bought after the concert. but i think i'll just go to bed
a couple of useful links, just in case:
stefano battaglia, pianist
