November 9 marks the beginning of the International Week of Science and Peace. On this day, free lectures for all comers will be held in the congress hall of the Cosmonautics and Aviation Center at VDNKh.
At 14:00 guests are invited to a lecture “Closed space: you can’t quarrel, you can’t come to an agreement”. They will tell you how people with different views can live together, whether it is possible to never quarrel, and how to prevent conflict from developing. The speaker will be Anna Yusupova, a leading researcher at the Laboratory of Social and Cognitive Psychology at the Institute of Medical and Biological Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS). In addition, the lecture will discuss self-regulation and self-help techniques, formulate a personal roadmap – try to define topics, criteria and points of no return for yourself.
There will be a lecture at 16:00 “Achievements of Modern Physics”. Blogger, writer and popularizer of science Dmitry Pobedinsky will tell whether it is possible to meet life on other planets, create a code that cannot be deciphered and then crack it, and also what the Higgs boson hides. Guests will learn why the Universe is expanding. And there will also be talk about quantum computers, materials of the future and mysterious dark energy.
The lecture will start at 18:00 “Asteroids. Small bodies of the Solar system”. It will be read by Leonid Elenin, a research fellow at the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences and a discoverer of comets and asteroids. Asteroids are objects in the Solar System discovered in the 19th century by the Italian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi. There are now more than a million of them known. Among the asteroids, there are some that can pose a serious threat to the Earth. Listeners will learn where they came from, how astronomers discovered the distant Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt, what connects these cosmic bodies with comets, how to deliver a particle of their relict matter to Earth, and whether it is possible to extract minerals from them.
