Had a great time discussing dark matter, dark energy and anti-matter at #BloomDK with @Hotblack43 + Carol Anne Oxborrow, inspired by Jeffery Hangst's talk..
Did you know the #ASIM instrument on the #ISS literally measures the annihilation of positrons in the upper atmosphere via the gamma rays emitted? Utterly fascinating.

So anyway, my next book is from the festival haul. #TheEndOfEverything by @AstroKatie

Eline Lorenzen pointing out that humans have always moved since we left Africa 150,000 years ago. It's a part of us. And it will come to be part of our future also.
"Danmark findes ikke i en tusind år"
Will we be building a dike up the west coast of Denmark in a thousand years to preserve Danmark or will we be moving?
Eline Lorenzen giving us a really good overview of what has changed in the past on what is in fact quite plausible in the future
We should remember that the #Roskilde Cathedral was built about a thousand years ago and we have songs and stories that are even older, so a thousand years in the future is not unimaginable- Minik Rosing

How will Copenhagen look in 30, a hundred and a thousand years?
Minik Rosing rightly pointing at both #ClimateChange and #Biodiversity crises, Eline Lorenzen emphasising how dependent on natural ecosystems we are and how many species we stand to lose..
We are potentially in an ecological catastrophe as well as a #ClimateCrisis .

It's been an *excellent* #BloomFestival in Copenhagen this weekend.
Stor ros til organisationen. 👏👏
Final session closing with an attempt to see the future:
In 1024 Knut the great had just conquered England, how will 3024 look like?
Inspiring cross-disciplinary talk at Bloom Festival, between artist Jakob Kudsk Steensen, glaciologist @Ruth_Mottram and literature researcher Rune Graulund, on how to sense, model and explain landscapes, and nature in general. #dkvid #bloomfestival
I am looking forward to this exhibtion coming on at #CopenhagenContemporary (and the #BloomFestival )
