BBC doc-maker and journalist Louis Theroux teams up with director John Dower and double Academy Award winning producer Simon Chinn (Searching for Sugar, Man On Wire) to explore the self-mythologizing Church of Scientology. Following a long fascination with the religion and with much experience in dealing with eccentric, unpalatable and unexpected human behavior, the beguilingly unassuming Theroux won’t take no for an answer when his request to enter the Church’s headquarters is turned down. Inspired by the Church’s use of filming techniques, and aided by ex-members of the organization, Theroux uses actors to replay some incidents people claim they experienced as members in an attempt to better understand the way it operates. In a bizarre twist, it becomes clear that the Church is also making a film about Louis Theroux. Suffused with a good dose of humor and moments worthy of a Hollywood script, MY SCIENTOLOGY MOVIE is as outlandish as it is revealing.

MARCELLONI/CERN the crazy concepts rooted in reality. Towards the end of the book, Carroll touches on the discovery’s impact. I could have done without the Winnie the Pooh-style subtitles to each chapter, such as “In which we suggest that everything in the universe is made out of fields”. But this is a minor flaw and, elsewhere, he discusses the issues and events with passion and clarity. An example is the moment, nine days after the LHC was switched on in 2008, when one-eighth of it suffered a catastrophic leak of liquid helium. Or, as Carroll accurately puts it, “it exploded”. The disappointment, the challenges of explaining the event to the public and of dealing with the alleged risks of turning on the machine — ‘Black holes will eat you!’ — are beautifully done. Josef Kristofoletti’s massive mural of the ATLAS particle detector adorns a building at CERN.

  • COSMIC STRINGS and BEADS by Mark Bernard Hindmarsh a Thesis Presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University O
    1 COSMIC STRINGS AND BEADS by Mark Bernard Hindmarsh A thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London and the Diploma of Membership of Imperial College Department of Physics The Blackett Laboratory Imperial College London SW7 2BZ September 1986 2 ABSTRACT Spontaneously broken gauge theories are now thought to be the first step in a fully unified theory of fundamantal processes. The occurrence of topologically stable solutions to the classical field equations in a large class of these theories, such as domain walls, strings, and monopoles, is of great interest to cosmologists because these objects will appear after phase transitions in the early universe. Of particular interest are strings, for they provide a promising way of seeding galaxy formation. Just after the phase transition at which they are formed, the motion of strings is strongly affected by friction with the surrounding medium. This period is investigated, and a mechanism for the generation of baryon asymmetry by the decay of small loops of string into heavy bosons is examined. A lower bound on the scale of the phase transition is derived. A new type of stable solution to the field equations of the Yang-Mills-Higgs system is presented, the 'bead', which can be thought of as a monopole on a string. Such beads are shown to exist in a large class of Grand Unified Theories, and their properties and a few of their cosmological implications discussed. When we take fermions into account, it is well known that there exist solutions to the Dirac equation localised around the string, corresponding to bound fermions moving along it at the speed of light.

  • Why Documentaries Matter Recognised As an Innovative Cultural Form
    RISJ CHALLENGES CHALLENGES Documentaries have for many decades inhabited the schedules of public Why Documentaries Matter Why broadcasters. They have chronicled the lives and institutions of western democracies. In the past two decades, however, documentaries have become Why Documentaries Matter recognised as an innovative cultural form. Instead of being exclusively funded by television channels, documentaries receive money from a number of sources, including film funds, private investors and foundations. Rather than observing, documentaries are now thought capable of changing the world. Is this what they really do? How do we define a documentary? What does it mean to be the ‘author’ of a film? Nick Fraser has been editor of the BBC’s Storyville series since 1997; here he looks at the history of documentaries, showing how definitions of documentaries have changed – and how fragile is their funding. If we want good documentaries, he concludes, we have to find ways of encouraging their creators. “Nick Fraser writes about documentaries with unique authority. Not only has he made some good ’uns, he has commissioned more than practically anyone else on earth (for the BBC’s Storyville) and - as this book shows - he Nick Fraser has watched docs from their earliest days. His ideas on what the growth of the web and the decline of public service broadcasters mean for doc-makers are informed, imaginative and challenging.” Brian Lapping Chairman and Executive Producer, Brook Lapping “The rise of documentaries over the past two decades owes more to Nick Fraser than to any other single person. For so many of us who make non-fiction films, Nick’s peerless brand of tough love and mischievous curiosity have inspired us to aim higher as we try to promote greater understanding of the major events and issues of our time.” Eugene Jarecki Documentary film maker “This expert lament is beautifully written.
