Isn't my favourite photo (Blog 5)

When I thought about a photograph to show, it only comes to my head the idea that "making a photo" instead "taking a photo", because each photograph has a dark side where the subjective of the photograper and the community that do possible the making are.

This preamble is for introducing to one of the biggest making a photo that I know: The picture of the Black Hole.

This picture, apart of the knowledge that we get from it in the future, has been fruit of work of many scientific communities around the world called Event Horizon Telescope. As I understand, if we wanted a homemade photo of this black hole, we would need a Earth size camera. Thus what this communities did was take pictures in many diferents places (places with a telescope) while The Earth was rotating for two years for finally to make the puzzle.

The photo is so boring to see, but I like thinking if it says anything about the habitants of The Earth, or about the scientist, or rather about natural scientist communities.

That's all for today, if you have an idea about what says this picture, how could made this photograph of other way leave a comment.

    Wow Cristian!
    What a good choice! When I started to investigate about this, it caused in me a lot of admiration to those people who made it possible.
    There was also an image taken from Chile in Alma, it impresses me because I had the honor of knowing a bit about it.
    I love!

    regards

    Hi, Matilde, Did you know to Alma community? I liked this story because the way to approach the problem of how take the picture impressed me, I would like to make something similar with our studies (or know some experiences in humanities-social sciences).

    Cheers!

Just enough to believe to see (Blog 9)

I don't know what I was thinking when I voted for paranormal phenomena, because I don't believe in it. But there was a time of darkness in my life when I did: when I was a child (I think that most of our post will start with our childhood) I believed that there was ghosts, angels, demons, witchcraft and god (Ok, now I'm joining any pieces of my life, in this years I went to the church with my family, my brother listened to gothic metal, my grandparents died...). But all these things appear blurred in my memory (help me psychologists mates). Thus, I going to tell you about my little story like a bad christian ( The Christian Story of Cristian ?/My name is merely because my father loved so much to his cousin named Cristian). My parents were good christians and took me to he church every saturday (because there was only one priest in the area and he can't make the ritual in all churches on sunday) but I was a very nosy boy, and I asked all the thing about the religious...

A sausage of angel and beast (Blog 8)

In this semester I have three very boring courses required of my programme, but I've really enjoyed an elective course about Contemporary Public Opinion. This course is organized by lectures prepared by a couple of students for a later debate, what is a very free way of making a course and allows us proposing topic we want talk. The main subject of course is the debate about public opinion as concept, by authors like Habermas that explain how the space to public discussions was taken for corporatives interests and even how the word to name this turned to publicity (in spanish, while in english use advertising and german use öffentlichkeit). This is Jürgen Habermas, when he was young he looked like Morrissey (comment if you think it's true or not) .  For the other hand, we debate the use of surveys to give voice to the "public opinion", above all in the electoral predictions. I like this course because it subject allows analize wide kind of problems, curr...
