Luminous
Film
Will astronomer Larry Molnar be right and will he be the first scientist ever to correctly predict the explosion of a star? Can a small American university be at the forefront of a groundbreaking theory? Rarely has a scientific experiment been served up as humanly as in Luminous. For this intimate portrait, Molnar and his students were followed for no less than five years, resulting in this sympathetic and disarming documentary about hard, hard science.
TALK Het risico op falen is inherent aan de wetenschap. Sterker nog: van onze fouten kunnen we veel leren. Toch voelen onderzoekers en studenten vaak de druk om perfectie te leveren. Drie moedige academici doorbreken het taboe: Rector magnificus van de Radboud Universiteit Han van Krieken, promovendus Internationale Betrekkingen Lema Salah (Radboud Universiteit) en docentondernemer Zorgtechnologie Clark Nowack (HAN University of Applied Science) houden een pleidooi voor durven falen.
