Richard Tice must explain himself immediately.

Grace Brewster Hopper was an American computer scientist, mathematician, and United States Navy rear admiral. She was a pioneer of computer programming. She developed COBOL (1960), an early high-level programming language still in use today.

Carl Sagan explains why a small metal plaque on a spacecraft is destined to become the oldest surviving artifact of mankind. By launching the Pioneer 10 probe, we’ve sent a message into the void that operates on a timescale far beyond our own. Even though it is the fastest object we’ve ever built, the universe is so vast that it would take 80,000 years just to reach the nearest star—and it’s not even headed that way. While mountain building and erosion will eventually erase every trace of our civilization from the Earth's surface, this plaque will remain intact in the dark of interstellar space for billions of years.

Hello, #FIFA, how's that 'Peace Prize' looking right now ?

Professor Brian Cox definitely ISN’T saying we live in a simulation He explains why the cosmos behaves less like a collection of "stuff" and more like a vast, interconnected network of information. By viewing the universe through the lens of quantum mechanics, he suggests that at its most fundamental level, everything; from space and time to our very selves; emerges from a web of bits and qubits. At the deepest level, the universe doesn't just contain information; it is information, processing itself with the logic and fluidity of a quantum computer. Credit: BBC Solar System

Apollo 16 'Grand Prix' Rover Test on the Moon HD 60FPS Stabilised See comments for full video During the Apollo 16 mission in April 1972 the crew were tasked with putting the Lunar Roving Vehicle through a series of tests to asses its capabilities. Commander John Young drove the electrically powered rover through a series of maneuvers—including S-turns, hairpin turns, hard stops, and acceleration to "high" speeds of roughly 6–11 mph (10–18 km/h)—while Charles Duke (lunar module pilot) filmed it with a 16 mm camera from a safe distance. This video has been upscaled in quality, interpolated to 60FPS, Stabilised and synced with mission audio by Moonpans Original Source Footage: Apollo Flight Journal

Amazing

Maybe the greatest politician the UK ever had. "What fools we are." Please listen.

The problem is not people being uneducated. The problem is that people are educated just enough to believe what they have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what they have been taught. - Richard Feynman

Let's make 2026 the year that we have a full investigation into: Nigel Farage and his £885,000 Clacton house Nigel Farage and the Russian Spy Nathan Gill Nigel Farage and his anti-semitism and racism RT if you agree!

Trump says the decision to bomb Iran came after advice from Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff and Pete Hegseth. A real estate developer. A television host. And the president’s son-in-law. Not intelligence chiefs. Not military command. The Middle East 🔥 and the global economy now lives with the consequences of that advice.

He has no idea!

A really important enquiry this morning. Physics in the UK is facing the worst crisis since 2008 - hopefully this session will increase the pressure to find a solution.

This photograph shows us the other side of the Moon, which we usually do not see. It was captured by the Chinese Chang'e 5-T1 spacecraft.
