El objetivo de este encuentro es romper el hielo, hablar de las historias que nos gusta escribir, de por qué escribimos, de los libros que nos gusta leer, de qué dificultades encontramos al enfrentarnos al folio en blanco y de qué esperamos del grupo. En definitiva, se trata de conocernos como personas para entendernos como escritores. No importa si has escrito diez novelas, cuatro cuentos o el precioso título de un poema sin versos. Aquí todo aspirante a juntaletras es bienvenido.

Két fontos és izgalmas előadással várunk titeket 2026 első Budapest Science Meetupján. Kiderül, hogy az elmúlt évtizedben mit tudtunk még az univerzumról a fekete lyukak – és az ütközéseik észlelését lehetővé tevő gravitációs hullámok – segítségével. Ezután azt nézzük meg, hogy mit mond el 2025 – és a mögöttünk hagyott három év – a klímaváltozás állásáról, és annak globális, valamint regionális hatásairól. Az előadások: **A gravitációs hullámok évtizede — mit tudtunk meg az Univerzumról a fekete lyukak segítségével?** *Dálya Gergely – HUN-REN — ELTE Extragalaktikus Asztrofizika Kutatócsoport* Alig tíz éve sikerült először detektálni a gravitációs hullámokat, vagyis a téridő parányi rezgéseit. Ezek a hullámok a Világegyetem legnagyobb energiájú folyamataiban keletkeznek, fekete lyukak vagy neutroncsillagok összeütközésekor, és több milliárd fényév távolságból hoznak hírt ezekről az extrém és más módon szinte megfigyelhetetlen eseményekről. Ebben az előadásban Dálya Gergely, a gravitációs hullámokat tanulmányozó LIGO nemzetközi kollaboráció csoportvezetője, a gravitációs hullámok múltjáról, jelenéről és jövőjéről fog beszélni: mit tudtunk meg az elmúlt évtizedben az Univerzumról a fekete lyukak segítségével, ebben milyen szerepe volt a magyar kutatóknak, és vajon mi vár ránk a következő évtizedben? **A dobogó alsó fokán: a 2025-ös év éghajlati értékelése** *Kis Anna – ELTE TTK Meteorológiai Tanszék*

## **1\. rész: Politika az ókorban** (A program magyar nyelven zajlik.) A politika valószínűleg akkor jelent meg, amikor az emberek csoportokba szerveződtek. De ki birtokolja a hatalmat? Hogyan igazolható? Mik a korlátai? Belépünk a nyugati politikai filozófia területére, az ókorból indulva. Ezen az alkalmon azokat a jelentős politikai eszméket vizsgáljuk meg, amelyek formálták nyugati civilizációnkat. Platón, Arisztotelész, Cicero és Zénón kerülnek szóba, hogy megválaszoljuk azt az alapvető kérdést, amelyet ma vizsgálunk: Mi a legjobb módja a társadalom berendezésének? **Témáink:** * Platón: a legbölcsebbek uralma, idealizmus, kormányzati formák és degenerálódásuk. * Arisztotelész: a politika mint egyensúly, vegyes kormányzati formák és a közjó. * Cicero: természetjog ellentétben az emberi joggal, köztársasági erény, polgári kötelesség és sztoikus hatás. * Zénón: kozmopolisz, intézmények nélkül, tulajdon nélkül, pénz nélkül, házasság nélkül. **Megvitatandó kérdések:** 1. Az erényen, a hagyományon vagy a beleegyezésen kell-e alapulnia a politikai tekintélynek? 2. Ha a politikai tekintély a tudáson alapul (Platón), ki dönti el, hogy ki rendelkezik valóban tudással? 3. A Platón hanyatláselmélete (arisztokrácia → demokrácia → zsarnokság) csapda? 4. A Platón filozófus-király eszménye pszichológiai önkivetítés? 5. Inkább egy erényes elit uralkodjon rajtad, akit nem szavazhatsz le, vagy egy hozzá nem ertő, akit igen? 6. Ha a szakértők következetesen jobban teljesítenek a választóknál, jogos-e Platón demokráciával szembeni gyanakvása? 7. Mely ponton válik a „szakértők uralma" elszámoltathatóság nélküli uralommá? 8. Válsághelyzetekben a hatalomnak koncentrálódnia kell (Platón), újra egyensúlyba kerülnie (Arisztotelész), vagy törvény által korlátozottnak maradnia (Cicero)? 9. Ha nem értünk egyet Platón rendszerével, mit tegyünk azokkal a demokráciákkal, amelyek újra és újra demagógokat választanak? 10. Arisztotelész demagógokról szóló figyelmeztetése még mindig aktuális? 11. Arisztotelész természetesnek fogadja el az egyenlőtlenséget. Ez realizmus vagy a kiváltságok racionalizálása? 12. Legitimizálhat-e egy „közjóra" irányuló rendszer a lakosság nagy részének kizárását? 13. Cicero azt állítja, hogy minden ember természeténél fogva szabadnak születik. Miért jelenik meg ez az eszme Rómában és nem Athénban? 14. A naturalizmus kétélű fegyver? Az ember természeténél fogva szabad kontra az embernek természeténél fogva vannak jogai. 15. A római hangsúly a jogon és az intézményeken jelzi-e az átmenetet az erkölcsi tekintélytől a legitimitás felé? A „törvénynek való engedelmesség" felette áll-e az „erénynek való engedelmességnek" vagy az „isteneknek való engedelmességnek"? 16. A politikai részvétel megkövetel-e valamilyen elnyomást? 17. A politikai kizárás történelmi szükségszerűség? Vagy még mindig aktuális probléma? 18. Kompenzálhatják-e a jó intézmények az erkölcsileg gyenge vezetőket, ahogy Cicero reménykedni látszik? Vagy Platónnak van igaza, hogy erény nélkül a csúcson az intézmények elkorhadnak? 19. A modern technokrácia, amelyet egyes intézmények testesítenek meg (például: központi bankok, bíróságok, EU-intézmények), közelebb áll-e Platónhoz? 20. Elég-e a „joguralom" polgári erény nélkül? 21. Platóni zsarnokot vagy Cicerói demagógot preferálsz? **RSVP:** Kérjük, erősítsd meg a részvételedet a Meetup oldalon. A részvételi díj egy jelképes összeg, amely a meetup.com működési költségeinek fedezésére szolgál. A helyszínen **alkoholmentes bort 50% kedvezménnyel** kínálunk.

Practice Buddhist meditation in the middle of Budapest! The meditation is suitable for beginners. Each regular meditation is guided and begins with a short introduction.

The Men’s Circle of Excellence Gathering, for men who seek truth, mastery, and a life beyond mediocrity. The goal is simple: to support each other in mastering mind and spirit, breaking free from comfort, and moving toward excellence in every area of life. Modern life offers endless distractions but little real connection. Too often, men walk the path of self-development alone, or struggle against the negative pull of today’s society. The Men’s Circle of Excellence was created to change that: to bring support, accountability, challenge, and community energy. We gather in person to share openly, confront fears, and inspire one another to reach higher. Here, power is rooted in virtue, strength is balanced with empathy, and ambition is guided by wisdom. How it works: • Welcome & introductions: Meet new members and reconnect with familiar faces. • Open sharing: Each man speaks about his current challenges, fears, or obstacles. • Honest reflections: The group responds with insight and encouragement. • Connection Time: After the circle, we'll have extra time to relax, talk, and build friendships. Recommendation: • Before the event, take some time to think about your current situation and what to bring into the circle. Limited to max. 8 men per gathering to keep the space focused, personal, and meaningful. Confirm your attendance to reserve your spot.

Ideal for homeowners, small investors, and anyone interested in flexible rental income, furnished rentals, or corporate housing strategies. **Guest Speakers** *Jess Young* co-founded Tonlé Stays with Joe Hurm, where they invest in and operate short- and mid-term rental properties.
