危機的状況が続く東京電力福島第１原発で、１号機のほかに２、３号機でも、空だきされた燃料が高温で溶け落ちる「メルトダウン」が起き、圧力容器の底部が損傷している可能性が高まった。そのなかで最も不安なのは、猛毒のプルトニウムを生成する３号機。一時は３３６度まで温度が上昇するなど、溶け落ちた燃料が圧力容器を突き破って格納容器に漏れ出した恐れもあり、最悪の場合、再臨界の可能性も取りざたされている。
（中略）
元日本原子力研究所那珂研究所長の飯島勉・高度情報科学技術研究機構参与はこう分析する。
「メルトダウンの直後は、炉内の構造物と混ざり合った状態で溶岩のようなドロドロの状態になっています。それを受け止める圧力容器は鋼鉄でできており、融点は１６００度。２８００度に達すると、溶ける核燃料を支えることができずに穴が空く。溶けた核燃料の一部が格納容器へと落ちたなら、底の溜まり水と反応して小規模な水蒸気爆発を起こしながら、外側が固体となって沈んでいるのでしょう」

福島県で人類未経験の壮大な実験が進行しております。
その貴重なデータがアメリカの手に渡ることは７３１のときと同じです。
「車椅子の物理学者」として知られる英国の物理学者スティーブン・ホーキング博士（６９）は、天国とは闇を恐れる人のおとぎ話にすぎないとし、死後の世界があるとの考えを否定した。１６日付の英紙ガーディアンに掲載されたインタビューで述べた。
ホーキング博士は「（人間の）脳について、部品が壊れた際に機能を止めるコンピューターと見なしている」とし、「壊れたコンピューターにとって天国も死後の世界もない。それらは闇を恐れる人のおとぎ話だ」と述べた。
博士は２１歳の時に筋萎縮性側索硬化症（ＡＬＳ）という進行性の神経疾患と診断され、余命数年とされた。「自分は過去４９年間にわたって若くして死ぬという可能性と共生してきた。死を恐れてはいないが、死に急いでもいない。まだまだやりたいことがある」と語った。
また、人々はどのように生きるべきかとの問いに対し「自らの行動の価値を最大化するため努力すべき」と答えた。

科学的にいろんなことが解明されましたからね。
たとえば意識というものが肉体、なかんづく脳に依拠している といったことが明らかとなったことから、死後には個別性が成立しないと考えざるを得なくなりました。
私もそう思ってます。
ただ人情ということを考えて、お悔やみの言葉を口にしたりする。
個性は遺伝子の生殖で受け継がれていきますが、やはり意識というのは肉体が先にあってこそ。
さらにまた、生命という何か目に見えないエネルギーのようなものがあるわけじゃない。大正時代に「生命主義」などという思潮がサロンを席捲し、魂魄とか精神とか霊といったものを華麗に再定義した観がありましたが、近代的どころか実は前近代的粉飾でしかなかった。

Donna Summer with Brooklyn Dreams – Heaven Knows（1978/12 stereo 45 single version）
ドナ・サマー – ヘブン・ノウズ
Pop Chart Peaks: Billboard & Cash Box 4, Record World 5 – R&B Peak: 10 – A/C Peak: 17 – UK Peak: 22 （NME）
Joe Esposito of the group Brooklyn Dreams is heard along with Donna on this single, released in-between her #1 hits “MacArthur Park” and “Hot Stuff.” On Donna’s “Live And More” LP, “Heaven Knows” first appeared not as a stand-alone track but was included within the 17:47 “MacArthur Park Suite” medley
Per Wikipedia: The 7-inch version of “Heaven Knows” was created by combining the vocals from Summer’s “Live and More” album with the instrumental tracks from Brooklyn Dreams’ “Sleepless Nights” album （on that album Joe Esposito sings the lead vocal and Brooklyn Dreams sing the chorus） – a rare instance of a Summer 7-inch single which is actually longer than the album version. Bob Esty produced and arranged the “Sleepless Nights” album and should be given co-producer and arranger credit for the 7″ version of “Heaven Knows” but the liner notes in every Summer compilation released to date only list Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte as producers and mistakenly credit Greg Mathieson as the arranger.

タックスヘイブン(租税回避地)の「ヘイブン」は「安全な場所 (haven)」という意味で、「天国 (heaven)」ではないのです。
しかしながら、タックスヘイブンはフランス語やスペイン語やイタリア語ではparadis fiscal, paraíso fiscal, paradiso fiscale「税金楽園」などと訳されてしまっています。— ラテン語さん 1/7『世界はラテン語でできている』発売 (@latina_sama) February 10, 2024

1920年代のブロードウェイで最も人気だったという戯曲 “Seventh Heaven”（第七天国）。
そのミュージカル化は1955年なので、この動画はプロモとしての番組出演ということだろう。
安アパートの屋根裏部屋に住む地下水道の掃除人チコと純情可憐な娘ディアーヌのこの悲恋物語は、1927年（、フランク・ボーゼイギ監督）、1937年（ヘンリー・キング監督）に映画化され日本でもヒットした。
