Imagine going to the dentist without anesthesia? Imagine having a surgical procedure without anesthesia? Imagine performing surgery on a non-human animal without anesthesia? Well, this torture scenario is what we talked about in this episode of SciCast/Contrafactual. What would surgeries be like nowadays? What other techniques would we use in a world without anesthesia? Would intensive therapy still exist? Would plastic surgery still exist? How would pediatrics and veterinary medicine be impacted?

For a long time, the theoretical knowledge generated about law was predominantly philosophical, but with capitalism comes the need for technical and dogmatic knowledge that gives the right the security that commercial transactions need. In view of this, the theory of law appears and, within the context of the birth of social sciences as a science, the so-called “Pure Theory of Law” designed by the Austrian Hans Kelsen.

The planet's poles, the Arctic and its frozen ocean and Antarctica, a continent buried under glaciers, have fascinated people since ancient times. Scientists and adventurers have been venturing into its waters for a long time. Here is a brief snapshot of these adventures, one focusing on the Arctic and the search for the "Northwest Passage" and the other, coming soon, focusing on Antarctica and its disputed race to the planet's magnetic pole. For this expedition, we invited the intrepid explorers of GeoPizza, in an unprecedented crossover with Scicast. Come with us and freeze to the bone!

We're going to talk about how climate change is already affecting our daily lives and how it's going to affect us even more throughout the 21st century. To draw up this agenda, we consulted IPCC reports, texts from news portals and scientific articles that show us some very inconvenient and uncomfortable truths. We will see that climate change acts as an intensifier of existing inequalities. This debate is very extensive and will become more complex in the coming years, through new observations and discoveries that will be made by the scientific community. It is therefore very likely that this topic will be discussed in future episodes of SciCast.

Science fiction is, at its core, art and entertainment. Its content doesn't have to be scientifically accurate, but only its language and theme. In science fiction, real or imagined science (Asimov's psychohistory and robotics, for example) plays more of a framing and setting role than the main character. Science in sci fi allows the plot to exist, creates space for the plot to unfold... creates the environment in which the characters (scientists or not) will move. Of course, a lot of basic science has been systematically sacrificed for the sake of poetic freedom. Let's take a surgical look at these scientific errors in great works of sci fi.

The electoral system in the United States is one of the most complex and unique in the world, the result of a long history of compromises and political debates. On Election Day, the SciCast explored the system on three main fronts: suffrage (who can vote and the barriers to voting), legislative elections (how members of Congress are elected) and presidential elections (including the controversial indirect voting system). Finally, we look at the midterm elections, which play a crucial role in the balance of power in the US.
