The Eastern Roman Empire was under constant Ottoman pressure ever since the new conquerors appeared in the Anatolia. Although the Ottomans tried to take Constantinople on a number of occasions, they had to lift the siege of the city due to the Crusades of Varna and Nicopolis, the Timurid Invasion and the battle of Ankara, and the Interregnum period that happened after their Sultan Bayezid was taken hostage by Timur. However, after the victories at the battles of Varna (1444) and 2nd Kosovo (1448) against the crusaders of Wladyslaw III and John Hunyadi, the road to Constantinople was open and the new sultan Mehmed II set his sight on the city of the Roman emperors…

Joi, 26 noiembrie 2020, de la ora 20.00, o avem invitată pentru a treia ediție a Dicționarului de idei și ideologii pe Dana Jalobeanu. Specialistă în istoria și filosofia modernității timpurii și în gândirea Renașterii, Dana Jalobeanu predă la Facultatea de Filosofie a Universității din București din 2009.
În această emisiune, vom discuta cu Dana despre progres și progresism: despre felul în care una din cele mai generoase idei ale modernității, ideea de progres, se regăsește azi în mijlocul unor dezbateri ideologice, în care rațiunea și spiritul critic au lăsat loc invectivei și intoleranței.
În modernitate, progresul ajunge să fie asociat cu noua știință a naturii. Cunoașterea este cea care progresează și, odată cu ea, progresează și umanitatea. Progresul tehnologic, social, politic sau moral sunt însă produse derivate, fructele și efectele progresului cunoașterii. Această viziune despre progres este descrisă cel mai frumos în scrierile lui Francis Bacon, cel care distinge clar între experimente ale luminii (cele care dezvăluie cauze și duc la cunoaștere) și experimentele care dau roade. Ultimele sunt cele prin care știința dăruiește societății în care s-a ivit tehnologie, medicină sau educație, produse de natură a face viața oamenilor mai ușoară (sau mai lungă).
Enciclopediștii francezi iau această viziune și o simplifică, transformând-o într-o viziune a istoriei care se desfășoară cu sens. Experimentele de lumina ale lui Bacon dispar și în loc se revarsă secolul Luminilor. Dacă la Bacon drumul către cunoaștere era parcurs de puțini, iar cei mulți beneficiau de efecte și rezultate, secolul al XVIII-lea democratizează progresul. Dar îl și osifică. Îl transformă în ideologie. Ideologia progresistă… nu există, de fapt. Sau, mai precis, nu există o unică ideologie progresistă. Există o serie de ideologii, foarte diferite între ele, care fie se auto-intitulează progresiste, fie sunt etichetate în felul acesta, de către adversarii ideologici, de multe ori în mod peiorativ, sau de către istorici.
Ce au însă toate acestea în comun? Poate faptul că sunt reformatoare și contestatare? Sau poate că sunt convinse că societatea se poate schimba, iar un grup pe oameni suficient de hotărâți poate produce seria de schimbări necesare? Oricum ar fi, ele par să creadă că viitorul este deschis și ne-predeterminat, că societatea, ca și omul, se află într-un proces de evoluție înspre un viitor considerat mai bun decât prezentul.

Our animated historical documentary series on the Ottoman history continues with the battle of Mohacs of 1526. As sultan Suleiman conquered Belgrade in 1521 and Rhodes in 1522, he was able to focus all his resources on the European expansion and his next target was the Kingdom of Hungary, which was once one of the strongest in Europe, but was in a decline. The battle of Mohacs changed the fate of Hungary for the centuries to come and opened the way for the Ottoman invasions into Europe.

On Nov. 21, 2020, the U.S.-European oceanographic satellite Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich launched to orbit aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. During a five-and-a-half-year prime mission, it will collect the most accurate data yet on global sea level and how our ocean is rising in response to climate change. The mission will also collect precise data of atmospheric temperature and humidity that will help improve weather forecasts and climate models.
We’re sending the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite to space to collect the most accurate data yet on global sea level and how our oceans are rising in response to climate change. This #SeeingTheSeas mission, a historic U.S.-European partnership, will launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at 12:17 p.m. EST (9:17 a.m. PST, 5:17 p.m. UTC).
The satellite, and its twin Sentinel-6B, is jointly developed by ESA (European Space Agency), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), NASA, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), with funding support from the European Commission and support from France’s National Centre for Space Studies (CNES). Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich is named in honor of the former director of NASA’s Earth Science Division, who was instrumental in advancing space-based ocean measurements.
Episodul 6 din seria „Poveşti neştiute ale muzeelor”, difuzată pe TVR1, TVR3, TVR HD, TVR Internaţional şi TVR MOLDOVA, în care telespectatorii au fost invitaţi să urmărească 10 scurtmetraje care surprind lucruri mai putin cunoscute despre marile muzee ale Capitalei. Lectura îi aparţine inconfundabilei actriţe Maia Morgenstern.

The Ottoman invasion of Europe was truly challenged for the first time during the Battle of Kosovo of 1389. The Serbs and other Balkan peoples alongside their allies from Western and Eastern Europe fought valiantly against overwhelming odds and although they lost, the foundation of the future resistance, that continued until the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, was set. This battle was also remarkable due to the fact that leaders of both armies were killed during it. Prince Lazar Hrebeljanović died in the battle and Sultan Murad I was assassinated by the Serbian knight Miloš Obilić, who was killed shortly after. All three are considered martyrs by their people and the spirit of this battle is still part of the bitter animosity…

Avem păreri despre ceea ce se întâmplă în politică și despre felul în care ea ne afectează viața. Cei mai mulți suntem nemulțumiți și credem că e posibilă o politică mai dreaptă, făcută de oameni bine intenționați care ne cunosc interesele. Ideile și interpretările pe care le dăm politicii, precum și proiectele pentru politicile viitorului, respectiv ideologiile pe care le împărtășim, ne fac să ne orientăm spre schimbare politică lentă uneori radicală, sau dimpotrivă, spre conservare politică, eventual spre întoarcerea unui regim în care credem că ne era mai bine. Atunci când credem că ideile noastre sunt singurele bune și că toți ar trebui să se supună politicilor celor care ne reprezintă pe noi, ideologia noastră este una extremistă. Atunci când credem că și alți oameni au dreptatea lor și că trebuie reprezentați politic, ideologia noastră este una pluralistă, democratică. Avem nevoie de busola unei ideologii ca să ne orientăm politic. Periculos este doar atunci când le-o impunem altora cu forța, ca adevăr unic. Azi o avem invitata pe Mihaela Miroiu.

Step inside the Main Control Room at ESOC, ESA’s European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany, and one thing becomes immediately clear: teams that operate space missions are highly hierarchical, and the Flight Director is indisputably in charge.
How does this work, and why is this the case? In the last of his Masterclass series, Paolo Ferri delves into the culture of operations, from written rules and procedures to equally important unwritten principles that guide the day-to-day working lives of those flying Europe’s spacecraft.
Paolo explains that on rare occasions, an internal battle takes place when protocols, procedures and flight rules don’t seem up to the task, and someone must assume the huge responsibility of deciding whether or not they need to be violated to keep a mission functioning.
With 36 years’ of experience at ESA, Paolo Ferri is responsible for mission operations, and he has played a leading role in ensuring the success of missions like Eureca, ESA’s first-ever reusable satellite; Cluster, one of the longest-flying science missions; Venus Express, Europe’s first exploration of Earth’s ‘evil twin’; and Rosetta, humanity’s first landing on a comet.
In five episodes of ‘Leadership at Mission Control’, Paolo takes us through major events in his career at ESA, covering cornerstone missions, first attempts, overcoming technical challenges, building diverse teams, working under pressure and solving the unexpected problems that are part of any space endeavour.
This is the last episode of the ESA Masterclass series with Paolo Ferri. Thank you very much for watching!
