[REDIFF’] When science comes to Christmas

Replay of the show of December 21, 2016

We are December 21, D – 3 so before Christmas Eve … The holidays are approaching and like every year at this time we prefer to relax and ignore (just a little more than usual) the horrors of this world. Skull emptying with the Lab.

Let it be said, the world is going nuts and there is no reason for that to change in 2017. However, there is an area that is advancing against all odds, like a luminous breach in the ambient obscurantism : Science ! His power: to say things as they are, pleasant or not. Science is the art of perpetual curiosity. Science is the truth. And they two, at least, have the merit of evolving! The same cannot be said for everyone and for all areas.

So, in order not to accentuate a disaster that has become almost chronic, Le Labo has chosen to do what most expect: a light program, but nevertheless subtle! And yes, at the Lab, before 8 p.m. anyway, it’s hard to be really stupid. No offense to the boeotians, science can be funny, unusual, comical, even completely zany!

When science comes to the Christmas holidays: this is the theme of this very special and not very serious show – though! – of the Knowledge Lab!

There were certainly many of us for this special show, but not all of us! Even at Christmas, it’s hard to bring the whole family together! So this evening, we welcome Uncle Pierre, Papi Thibaud, cousin Ludivine, the nephew but we never knew from whom, Maxime, the neighbor in trouble, Thomas, the last of the litter, little Vassili! And your host, the one who has been locked in her kitchen for 3 days to prepare the festivities, I have appointed this good old aunt Agathe, to serve you!
