Piero Angela, realizing that he no longer has much time available, has decided to close all the remaining episodes of Superquark and to shoot that farewell video message that immediately went viral: here are the topics that were dealt with in the very last episode of August 17, 2022 and that closed the twenty-ninth season.

On Tuesday, August 16, 2022, the lay funeral of Piero Angela, who passed away on August 13, 2022 at the age of 93, but shortly before his death, and hearing the final chapter of his life coming, the science writer has decided to close all the episodes of Superquark remained and greet all his viewers in a farewell video which he then posted on his website and has now gone viral.

The last episode of Superquark

Last night instead, amid the general emotion of the public, thevery last episode of the twenty-ninth season of Superquark, from title "The Man". The late Angela addressed current issues such as global warming, climate change and drought, up to lighter topics, such as the benefits of walking.

Here is the complete plot of the episode:

The new episode of “Superquark” opens with a BBC documentary of the series A Perfect Planet entitled “L'Uomo”. We live we know, in a crucial era for the planet's climate. One of the main accused is an invisible gas, carbon dioxide, or CO2. Almost all modern businesses produce it by burning fossil fuels. We release 100 times more CO2 into the atmosphere than all volcanoes combined. This gas traps the sun's heat and causes global temperatures to rise. And this destabilizes one of the vital forces of the planet: the weather. Every degree more generates extreme and out of control phenomena, from droughts to devastating rains. And it affects the balance of life on Earth with the extinction of not only plants and animals. But also of our companies. Not to mention the impact we have on the sea and forests. What can be done? These mechanisms need to be reversed globally. Investing in non-polluting technologies, energies and policies. Change our consumption. The list is long. This documentary will make us discover our changing planet, showing what we are altering, but also some solutions already in place. In the report by Paolo Magliocco and Giulia De Francovich it is explained how good walking is. And the benefits are many, even for our DNA. Experts explain how to do it. The word “Simulators” immediately brings to mind those systems for learning to fly an airplane. But simulation is now proving to be a teaching tool in many other disciplines, such as medicine. The new episode of “Superquark”, broadcast on Wednesday 17 August at 21.25 on Rai 1, opens with a BBC documentary of the series Un Pianeta Perfetto entitled “L'Uomo”.

Piero Angela had already organized everything: the words of his son Alberto

Son Alberto Angela, conductor and face of Ulysses - the pleasure of discovery, during the secular funeral of his father, which were also broadcast live on Rai Uno, revealed a very exciting detail hidden behind the Superquark bets which have aired in recent weeks:

"When he learned that his time had come, he made such a rough calculation of the time he would have left and did all the episodes that are on the air right now of Superquark."

THElatest episode of Superquark, aired on August 17th, 2022, hides another part of the will andlegacy left by Piero Angela: a warning, launched by the science communicator, on the changes that carbon dioxide, Co2, is making on our planet and our climate.

But also a hope, because Piero Angela showed that to counter this phenomenon not only solutions already exist and have also been put in place, but also that, in our small way, we too can do our part, for example by modifying our consumption and investing in energy, policies and non-polluting technologies.
