All the winners of this edition of the Baftas (Photo: BBC News) La La Land is without a doubt the the film event of the year. Since its release, the attention to it has been growing week by week and now, in the middle of the film awards season, this was shown in the Baftas, where it was the winner of the night: “La La Land has dominated the Baftas, taking five trophies - including best film and best actress for Emma Stone. There were also awards for Lion, including best supporting actor for Dev Patel, and Ken Loach's I, Daniel Blake, which was named outstanding British film at the London ceremony. Patel said the win was "overwhelming". Casey Affleck was named best actor for Manchester by the Sea and Viola Davis won the best supporting actress prize for Fences. She is also nominated for an Oscar for her role in Fences, based on the August Wilson stage play of the same name.

Heinsenberg´s predicion (Photo: Forbes) The physics Werner Heisenberg has been corroborated 80 years after he wrote his prediction and nowadays, we can confirm his theory about the quantum universe: “Discovering that our Universe was quantum in nature brought with it a lot of unintuitive consequences. The better you measured a particle's position, the more fundamentally indeterminate its momentum was. The shorter an unstable particle lived, the less well-known its mass fundamentally was. Solid, material objects exhibit wave-like properties. And perhaps most puzzlingly of all, empty space -- space that's had all of its matter and radiation removed -- isn't empty, but is rather filled with virtual pairs of particles and antiparticles. 80 years ago, physicist Werner Heisenberg (who determined the two fundamental uncertainty relations), along with Hans Euler, predicted that because of these virtual particles, strong magnetic fields should affect how light propagate...
