Scottish sounds
So, usually, they’d say that Americans language is gibberish deformed by a slang accent which makes Shakespeare cry. Sometimes, they’d say that Texans are the worst. But these Scottish people are really great. So utterly impossible to understand that their verbal exchange seems poetic and stripped of any useful meaning. Some kind of automatic writing…

Polar fox
One of the nicest and cutest little mammals is observable in the Svalbard archipelago. This one was so unafraid that it came in the middle of our group in order to pee, clearly meaning “this is MY place; You’re just invited here”. Polar fox or arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus, renard polaire) Svalbard, June 2013.

Polar bear, king of Svalbard

As a matter of fact, there is no obvious difference for the…

Let Particle Physics have fun
I don’t know why but this video clip attracts me strangely. Even if I don’t understand all the advanced notions that are evocated quickly one after the other, (I am not really up-to-date despite all my efforts to understand some of it), I bow in front of the enormous work to adapt Queen’s music (Bohemian…

Space and tennis collide in Roland Garros
30 years ago, on May 28, 1983, in the middle of a tennis match between John McEnroe and Drew Gitlin, the public suddenly started to applaud with no apparent reason. The first US space shuttle, Enterprise, was flying over the Roland Garros stadium during an in-flight demonstration for the Bourget air show. Even McEnroe did…
