Byl jednou jeden život… A v něm zabíjení Židů

Seriál „Byl jednou jeden život“ zná snad každý pod 40 let. V německé verzi tohoto populárního seriálu pro děti hodné bílé krvinky zabíjejí plynem zlé bakterie, které volají „To je hrůza!“. Volají to v židovském jazyku jidiš. Jazykové mutace v jiných zemích tento výkřik neobsahují a neobsahuje ho ani originální francouzská verze. To si toho opravdu za 35 let vysílání seriálu v Německu nikdo nevšiml? Nebo se nad tím jen dobře bavili? Na antisemitskou narážku upozornil nyní článek na německém webu zabývajícím se médii Übermedien.de.

Science: Predecir cómo huelen las moléculas

Al día de hoy podemos decir que de nuestros cinco sentidos el olfato es el menos comprendido. Si bien lo usamos todos los días, la ciencia no ha llegado a comprender por completo cómo las moléculas producen un olor o cómo determinar cómo huelen sin olerlas. Sabemos desde hace décadas, en el caso de la vista, que para ver se necesitan longitudes de onda de luz y en cuanto al sonido sabemos que la audición ocurre a través de frecuencias tonales, pero el “código olfativo” se había mantenido indescifrable… hasta ahora.
