Left over from the Cold War are a hundred million gallons of radioactive sludge\, covering vast radioactive lands. Governments around the world\, desperate to protect future generati ons\, have begun imagining society 10\,000 years from now in order to crea te monuments that will speak across the time. Part observational essay fil med in weapons plants\, Fukushima and deep underground — and part graphic novel — Containment weaves between an uneasy present and an imaginative\, troubled far future\, exploring the idea that over millennia\, nothing sta ys put.\n\nA film by Peter Galison and Robb Moss\n\n \n\nPeter Galison\n Jo seph Pellegrino University Professor\, Harvard University\n\nBio: Galison is interested in the intersection of philosophical and historical question s such as these: What\, at a given time\, convinces people that an experim ent is correct? How do scientific subcultures form interlanguages of theor y and things at their borders?\n\nMore broadly\, Galison's main work explo res the complex interaction between the three principal subcultures of twe ntieth century physics--experimentation\, instrumentation\, and theory. Th e volume on experiment\, How Experiments End (University of Chicago Press\ , 1987)\, and that on instruments\, Image and Logic (University of Chicago Press\, 1997)\, are to be followed by the final volume\, 'Building\, Cras hing\, Thinking\,' that is still under construction. Einstein's Clocks\, P oincaré's Maps (W.W. Norton\, 2003) begins the study of theory by focusing on the ways in which the theory of relativity stood at the crossroads of technology\, philosophy\, and physics. Image & Logic won the Pfizer Award  from the History of Science Society in October 1998.\n\nIn addition\, Gali son has launched several projects examining the powerful cross-currents be tween science and other fields. His book (with Lorraine Daston)\, Objectiv ity (Zone Books\, 2007) asks how visual representation shaped the concept of scientific objectivity\, and how atlases of scientific images continue\ , even today\, to rework what counts as right depiction. Further work on t he boundary between science and other fields includes his co-edited volume s on the relations between science\, art and architecture\, The Architectu re of Science (MIT Press\, 1999\; ed. with Emily Thompson) and Picturing S cience\, Producing Art (Routledge\, 1998\; ed. with Caroline A. Jones)\, a s well as Big Science: The Growth of Large-Scale Research (Stanford Univer sity Press\, 1992\; ed. with Bruce Hevly)\, The Disunity of Science: Bound aries\, Contexts\, and Power (Stanford University Press\, 1996\; ed. with David J.
