Luciano Canfora and Lucia Votano in Artribune Podcast
Artribune's podcast 'Contemporaneamente' features historian Luciano Canfora and physicist Lucia Votano in a dialogue bridging history and physics. Canfora, professor emeritus at the University of Bari, discusses the dogmatism of the New Testament, the degradation of GPS for civilian use, and the persistence of racism as a primal impulse. Votano, former director of the Gran Sasso National Laboratory, explains the matter-antimatter asymmetry possibly caused by neutrinos and advocates for scientific citizenship in a tech-dominated society. The podcast is hosted by Mariantonietta Firmani and distributed by Artribune.com and Parallelo42.it.
