Successors: Notes from a World of Gerontocracy

Leoš Kyša

Leoš Kyša (born 1979) was born in Bruntál, studied in Opava and worked as a journalist for many years. He wrote features for the Saturday magazine of the Právo daily, for the Hospodářské noviny magazine, and for the magazines Instinkt and Týden. He founded the Paranormal Challenge – a group of scientists, journalists and mentalists who are offering a reward of three million crowns to anyone who can prove the existence of paranormal phenomena in a controlled scientific experiment. He has made a film about the astrophysicist Jiří Grygar and has long been involved in the popularisation of science. He hosts the show Jadrná věda (Nuclear Science) on Talk TV. As a result, he knows that he doesn't know what quantum physics means, but he can talk about it with enthusiasm. He teaches creative writing at the University of Creative Communication in Prague and multimedia techniques at the Silesian University in Opava.
