Chris Cantell Discusses Technologies: Torta Olimpica

E ca si cum Beijingul a stiut ce avea sa se intample!Au facut o torta Olimpica care sa reziste la aproape orice si in mod paradoxal e facuta astfel incat san u polueze. Cine ar fi crezut ca Beijingul e capabil sa produca ceva care san u dauneze mediului inconjurator? Eu cred ca Presedintele Comitetului Olimpic Jacques Rogge ii ia peste picior pe toti cei care au criticat decizia de a-I accorda Jocurile Chinei. Jocurile de la Beijing au postat pe site-ul lor istoria tortei create de Corporatia Stiintei si Indutriei Aerospatiale in colaborare cu torta The Sydney 2000. Are o inaltime de 72 cm, cantareste 1 kilogram si e realizata dintr-un amestec de butan si propan pentru o flacara bogata rezistenta si la apa. In jurul ei sunt mereu 2 lampi portabile de rezerva ca si cum s-ar astepta sa fie stinsa. Acum ma intreb eu daca e atat de rezistenta de ce au nevoie de reserve? Apoi fostul official al Jocurilor Olimpice de la Pierre Kosmidis se teme doar de vremea rea cand exista atat de multi protestatari ce incearca sa o stinga. Uitandu-ne inapoi la istoria tortei putem vedea ca a fost introdusa in 1936 la Olimpiada de la Berlin si de atunci incearca sa o imbunatateasca. Astazi folosesc gaz care e mai usor de manevrat si previne astfel incidente precum cele din 1968 si 1992. Mai mult torta aminteste de flacarile stravechi aprinse in onoarea lui Prometeu care a furat focul de la zei si l-a dat oameniilor. Sute de politicieni si atleti au condos tort ape calea sa de 85,000 mile, iar la sfarsitul zilei gardienii o stang si o aprind din nou de la cele de rezerva a doua zi. Multi dintr purtatorii ei au o insigna cu Pentru o lume mai buna ca si mesaj adresat Chinei si partidului conducator.
