After that, it’s time for scientific, physics, math, chemistry, biology, psychology and astronomy workshops. Aside from the Children Science Club, which is held during day, elementary school students will also have the opportunity to attend the Children Science Camp, which will take place at one of our country’s most significant archeological sites, Viminacijum. A two-day camp will be organized twice this year: July 12-13, and July 26-27. Along with the Children Science Club, the Camp makes for an interesting concept, best known for its abbreviation, DNK, where kids get to spend their summer doing science. _MMM4307 _MMM4317 (1)

This year, CPN marked Tesla’s birthday with various activities, and the event that attracted the most attention was the panel  “HAARP and Other Scientific Misconceptions”, which took place at CPN’s science club at 7pm. The participants, among whom were three of our most renowned scientists and science popularizers: PhD Milan M. Ćirković, astrophysicist, Dr Oliver Tošković, psychologist and PhD Milovan Šuvakov, physicist; who discussed whether or not HAARP project has an influence on our climate, and also which are the most widespread misconceptions when it comes to science. The panel was moderated by Slobodan Bubnjević. After series of speculations and quasi-scientific reports during the floods that affected Serbia in May, the public finally got a chance to hear the detailed explanations about the answers that confused them. _MMM4402 PhD Milan M. Ćirković pointed out that every thermo-nuclear power plant anywhere in the world, individually, including Nikola Tesla in Obrenovac, has a bigger effect on climate in terms of emitting more energy and gas, that cause the greenhouse effect, which can trap more solar energy than a HAARP antenna with its power of three megawatts.  Ćirković also stated that what we’re experiencing now, are the effects of all the burning of coal, oil, kerosene, and other dangerous material, that happened 30 years ago, and in 20-30 years, all the things that are being burned today will, most likely, have truly catastrophic consequences. _MMM4458 _MMM4433 Šuvakov said that those antennas are built and pointed in a way so that they could simultaneously emit the signal and use interference to generate electromagnetic waves in an upward direction towards the sky. Šuvakov also explained that there are various aims of the project, among which are its scientific and military use, but most of all; its goal is to enhance communication with distant submarines etc. So, there is not even a slight chance that this facility is being used for all the things our media are accusing it of. _MMM4460 Oliver Tošković stated that the best way to start conspiracy theories is to (play Chinese whispers) pass false information, and he also proved that by making a simple example with the audience. ”Try telling a story you heard to another person using nothing but mime, and you’ll see how, after only a few attempts, the information changed. It is usually the case that the information loses its point, and the added details become more significant. ” _MMM4431 _MMM4419 On several occasions, the speakers’ statements were even saluted with more than a few rounds of applause from a crowd that filled the space of CPN Science Club. This panel on HAARP marked the ending of CPN panel season, which is expected to be continued in both the CPN science club and the Big Hall of SCC in Belgrade, after a short summer break. _MMM4389
