Episode 399: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
What is likely the final installment with Harrison Ford, this is a very good movie. The first 25 minutes being an old school Jones movie was excellent. Everything it needed to be.

Did the fall and/or destruction of the Great Library of Alexandria really set human progress a thousand years? Would w bee flying around in spaceships and teleporting and doing all kinds of crazy stuff if Julius Ceasar hadn't have burned down the library around 2000 years ago? Or DID Ceasar burn it down? What actually happened? What do we truly know about the contents of a place said to be the greatest house of knowledge of the ancient world? Exploring a historical mystery today - AND - bringing back Idiots of the Internet. Hooray!

Dziś bardziej niż kiedykolwiek liczy się umiejętność kreatywnego rozwiązywania problemów.
Kreatywność może stać się Twoją przewagą nad konkurencją i nad sztuczną inteligencją.
Zanim jednak nauczysz się nieszablonowo myśleć i rozwiązywać problemy, musimy rozprawić się z kilkoma mitami na temat kreatywności.
Folge 1230: INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY - Time waits for nobody
Nostalgie ist ein süßes Gift, harmlos nur in kleinen Mengen. Nostalgie lenkt davon ab, dass alles seine Zeit hat. Die Zeit von INDIANA JONES, das waren die 1980er, das waren die drei Filme, die aus der besonderen Zusammenarbeit der beiden Nerds Lucas und Spielberg zwischen 1981 und 1989 hervorgegangen sind. Mit dem Ritt in den Sonnenuntergang am Ende des dritten Films war auch ein perfektes Ende gefunden worden. Aber Nostalgie und mehr noch die Aussicht auf fette Einnahmen an den Kinokassen führten zum erschreckend absurden vierten Teil und jetzt zu einem fünften Film. Ohne den direkten Einfluss von Lucas und Spielberg. Um es gleich vorwegzusagen: Er ist besser als befürchtet, aber er kann die Zeit nicht zurückdrehen – was witzigerweise genau die Handlung des Films beschreibt 🙂
Prof. Dr. Henry Jones geht gerade in den Ruhestand, als seine Patentochter ihn in ein letztes Abenteuer zieht. Alles dreht sich um den Mechanismus von Antikythera, eine Erfindung des Archimedes, die ganz besondere Kräfte hat. Phoebe Waller-Bridge und der ganze Writers Room haben viele Protagonisten aus den früheren Film wieder zurückgebracht (Karen Allen! John Rhys-Davies!), es gibt Schlangen und Verfolgungsjagden, der Hut wird geschnappt, die Peitsche wird geschwungen, Nazis werden verprügelt, auch wenn der Rücken des altgewordenen Helden kneift. Harrison Ford ist wunderbar grumpy und Patentochter Helena ist die energiegeladene Partnerin, die Indiana Jones und den Film vorantreibt. Irgendwann wird das unvermeidliche Fantasy-Element aktiv – was inhaltlich passt, sich aber dennoch merkwürdig anfühlt.
Regisseur James Mangold macht alles richtig, die Bilder, die Farben und die Atmosphäre stimmen, selbst der verjüngte Indiana in den Rückblicken funktioniert, aber Spielbergeske Kameraeinstellungen (Ihr erinnert Euch noch an die vergifteten Oliven?) sind mir nicht aufgefallen. Wie dem auch sei: Das Rad des Schicksals lässt sich genau wie das Rad der Zeit nicht zurückdrehen. Der fünfte Film ist so gut wie er sein konnte, vor dem Hintergrund, dass die Zeit von Indiana Jones seit mehr als 30 Jahren bereits vorbei ist. Wir ziehen direkt nach dem Film ein positives Fazit und sind uns einig: Es braucht keinen weiteren Indiana-Jones-Film mehr. Direkt nach dem Kino am Mikrofon: Peter, Harald, Tom und Thomas.
Psycho Bob Says What's the Antikythera Mechanism?
Another installment of Psycho Bob Says is here and Bobber asks, what is the Antikythera Mechanism? For more than 100 years, scholars have struggled with defining it, determining its origin and replicating it.
After decades of study, it has been determined that the Antikythera mechanism is an Ancient Greek hand-powered mechanical model of the of the solar system. It was a mechanical computer of bronze gears that used ground-breaking technology to make astronomical predictions, by mechanizing astronomical cycles and theories.

Inspired by Archimedes...Counting Sand
How much sand would it take to fill the universe? And what does this 2,000-year-old question have to do with a podcast on today’s big data challenges? In this kick-off episode of the Counting Sand podcast, host Angelo Kastroulis, CEO of Carrera Group, explains how an early research paper by Archimedes of Syracuse has much in common with his own approach to today’s big questions in data science and how the paper provides not only a metaphor for how we can meld research and practice in tackling today’s big problems but also the inspiration for the perfect podcast name.
In order to explain the origin of the name of this podcast, Angelo starts with a little history on Archimedes, as both a practical designer and also a scientist interested in the theoretical underpinnings of mathematical principles.
Angelo then talks about some important research by Archimedes but begins by explaining what a research paper is, what the history of research papers is, and why anyone undertakes writing one. He then spends time talking about Archimedes’ paper that attempts to spell out how many grains of sand would be needed to fill the universe. Of course, to answer this, Archimedes needed to approximate the size of the universe and, in order to do that, he had to develop a new number system.
Angelo—who himself has both a Greek and entrepreneurial heritage—begins to draw parallels to Archimedes and his approach to the sand problem and his own approach to understanding and addressing big problems today. He talks about his journey to find the balance of the theoretical and practical, just as Archimedes did, applying a rigorous methodology, dealing with disappointment, and exercising patience. Angelo shares his first operating axiom: “When the solution isn’t readily apparent, be patient, keep researching; the solution will present itself.”
In his work as a data scientist and technologist best known for his high-performance computing and Health IT experience, Angelo uses this process time and again. In this episode he gives examples from his own research career and the applications he has developed. Ultimately he shares his axiom #2: “If you find yourself doing too much theory, do more application and it will make your theory better, If you find yourself doing too much application, do more theory and it will make your application better.”
As Angelo says, Counting Sand will be a bit different than other podcasts. We will talk about some big problems and both discuss the theory behind potential solutions and see how they can be applied to tackle real problems. We are excited to bring listeners along for the ride.

How to be creative (even in a pandemic)
If you're creative - for business or pleasure - how do you stimulate your creativity? Especially now, when all our movements are so circumscribed.
You need to find your inner Winnie the Pooh, and resist Rabbit. Do what Archimedes did, or Mendeleev. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, listen here and I'll explain. I've made a living from being creative for over thirty years, and worked with many other such people. I've thought a lot about creativity, and watched it happen, and tried to stimulate it. Let me tell you a little of what I've learnt.
Eureka! Before and After
When we tell science stories they usually have a long complicated build up, and finish with someone yelling Eureka. But is Eureka really the end? What if we look at it as the beginning? Or the middle?
In this first episode, we meet Archimedes - a brilliant scientist from ancient Greece that is credited with the first use of the word “Eureka!” And we also travel to England for the story of Alexander Fleming and the discovery of penicillin. Lastly we meet Dr Wayne Lautt and hear about his Eureka moment.
The series is hosted by Dan Riskin. He is formerly the host of Discovery Channel’s Daily Planet and also a contributor to The Nature of Things on CBC. Dan is also a highly regarded scientist in his own right.
These science stories from history help shed light on the modern research being done on Type 2 Diabetes. Specifically, we highlight the work of SciMar as they examine the hormone HISS and the effect it has on glucose levels in people who are insulin resistant. www.SciMar.ca
Introducing, Inside the Breakthrough
What can we learn from the scientists of the past, to help us understand the future? This series re-examines the stories of Galileo, Newton, Curie, and Einstein, so we can better map out the road ahead.
It’s a fun filled ride that also checks in with Henry Ford, the Roman emperor Claudius, and Ross Geller from Friends. Each of these characters from the past have a unique lesson to teach us about the future.
Does the name Dan Riskin sound familiar? It might be from Discovery Channel’s Daily Planet, his regular appearances on the Craig Ferguson show, or his book, “Mother Nature is Trying to Kill You.”
The show is produced by SciMar, a research group exploring a paradigm shift in the way we treat Type 2 Diabetes. www.SciMar.ca
