@MikaelaShiffrin It's significant that people share their experiences. Being able to without fear is a good thing.

For the first time ever, I shared thoughts about the catalyst behind my PTSD from my crash in Killington, and how it was connected to my father’s accident… —— Grief feels like a maze to me. It’s something to be navigated but not fixed, and you never really find your way through it, but you’re somehow becoming more understanding of what that maze is. And maybe you find patterns to the way that something is going to feel when that crops up…it’s, sort of, learning to navigate something when there really isn’t an end to it… …I’m learning the same lessons over and over. Just because I figured out on this one day how to channel my nerves and tension and anxiety, and fear of criticism, to get through that course two times in a row, that fast, doesn’t mean I can do it tomorrow. But, on this day, the Olympics slalom this year, I think because of all of the work I had done—work on may skiing, work with physical training…and the mental work…this all led to me feeling on race day like I was willing to accept the risk that if it didn’t go well, I would be very harshly criticized. I just really needed to face head-on that I couldn’t control headlines, most people wouldn’t understand the traumatic things that have happened in my life and to my family, they won’t pay attention to anything else besides for that I was supposed to win gold on that day. And I really needed to accept that. It was not until the slalom race day that I felt pretty at one with that fear. Like I could hold it in my hands and say “this is really really scary and I still believe that this is worth it…I am literally not here for the medal—and I’m not here for anything else but the joy I get between the start at the finish with really good skiing and powerful skiing”—and that made me feel more connected to my dad than I had in a long, long time. I had a moment before the second run, where I was trying to take a little bit of a rest, and usually I’m able to fall asleep…but on this day, I actually found myself crying, trying to communicate with my dad. And I had this moment of an epiphany before the second run that I was going to win. I thought, “Today is the day that I win an Olympic gold medal with my dad not being alive.” It was like, “And I don’t even feel weird saying that, and if it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t happen. But I do believe that this will be the day.” Crossing the finish line in that slalom in Cortina was like a burst of understanding to me that went far beyond winning a gold medal. —— Thank you, @CNN and @andersoncooper, for the most beautiful and impactful conversation. This meant a lot to me.❤️ cnn.com/2026/06/18/hea…

@Everythinnkeanu One i refuse to accept. That there will always be someone who has something against you.I have done my labours quietly. You can't be a people pleaser. But even in that i would rather convince someone to at least accept what I think and say rather than argue.The value is proven.

What’s one lesson life taught you ?

@Keanureve1841C Can I send you a novel to read?

Be honest! 👇🚀 What made you a fan of Keanu Reeves? A) Personality 😎 B) Leadership 💼 C) Money 💰 D) Intelligence 🧠 Vote with one letter and tell us why! 👇 :::

@readswithravi @BStulberg I disagree. Edison. Newton. Einstein. Lots simply depends on accomplishment.None of them and a whole array of similar persons never sought to become. They became. In accomplishment. Tesla.

Who we become in the process is the real reward.

@KeanuReevesYaga I don't have any ambition. Life is enough to labour for. Thus; accomplish.

What's your ambition in life ?

@KeanuReevesYaga ..Relationship stress is a conflict of directions.. and interest. Needing to do and having to do and not being able to do. Humanoshere.We have to place .." Let's.."

@KeanuReevesYaga The humanosphere is based on the one to one we have with those we are in proximity to. I often neglect those who show concern for me.We are all trying the world is a better place.. in despair many, in hope some..in labour just see. I think the main reason for ( see next comment..

How do you apologize to someone you truly really love and don't want to lose them ?

@Bradpitfam You are a good person and have seen your troubles through with dignity while all else comment upon and have not lashed away.I hope you can get on good footing with those you care for and may they care for you in return Happiness bro! You deserve some.

@Bradpitfam Then I have when I just can't anymore. You allude to getting to where it is natural, unforced, is a powerful notion and one that conquers. To get there you possibly have to put others first.. so it goes further than how you put it, but starts and ends there!

@Bradpitfam I have tried and continue. But good question. Nice is sometimes outlawed as it obliged at least consideration in return.Not nice is not nice but is justified by defense of self so aggravation speaks for itself. Firm is also good.

@httprover2 @PhysInHistory Interesting as gas is around and about there .Now Gravity. In Space what holds it together?There is a soup theory . Temperature is what then?Flux is . Contains Space which is left out. An equation thus exists and points to the Reaction which would be Newtonian. Continuum.

@PhysInHistory Might not the Ideal Gas Law, PV= μRT, apply? How do we know the universe didn't creat itself?

Carl Sagan on Big Bang ✍️ Ten or twenty billion years ago, something happened-the Big Bang, the event that began our universe. Why it happened is the greatest mystery. That it happened is reasonably clear. All the matter in the universe was concentrated at extremely high density-a kind of cosmic egg, reminiscent of the creation myths of many cultures-perhaps into a mathematical point with no dimensions at all.

@Charlie157874 @PhysInHistory Would have to consult the books as I see what you say . A Nuclear form is the compound e=mc2. Totality. Oscillatory. Hawking Black hole theory then impute.. where did matter come from?For me Space is the question as it contains both. If null and infinite there you go but how?

@PhysInHistory Matter was not concentrated, energy was concentrated. This is why nobody gets it. Even Sagan missed this.

@SultanShishani @PhysInHistory Not really if you understand the concept of relative Time .No motion or practically zero. Motion is energy in action.Where did the energy come from at point zero and where was it. The limitation is our understanding. Space has no measure and defines everything thus. Infinity.

@PhysInHistory "Ten or twenty billion years ago" is a huge jump between the years passed. The diffeeence between 20 billion years ago and 10 billion years ago, is the same difference between 10 billion years ago and today. And that just disturbs the credibility.

@PhysInHistory Hard to conceive or imagine but a foundational construct. The physics aligns. What is inconceivable is before or after. It points to a Chemical Reaction. The sun after all is a nuclear one.The uniqueness of the planet. Space then is the Dimension , as it too was there.

@KeanuReevesYaga I don't know!.. i have not been following the big leagues more chess instead..but I think the coaches are racking their brains. Player number 12.

@Mr_Husky1 Cute little guy!

Off the coast of Portugal, a diver was busy with underwater repairs when he noticed an octopus hovering nearby. At first, he paid it no mind, until the octopus began to help. Each time he reached for a wrench or dropped a bolt, a tentacle slid in, offering it back like a quiet partner from the deep. When he surfaced, no one believed him. So, he set up cameras and captured the proof: an octopus calmly passing tools to a human. The footage went viral. Asked about it later, the diver just smiled. “I’m just glad I had a little help down there.”

@readswithravi ..I wish I did not.

@Rainmaker1973 ...we will, we will.. Rock you! Massive and highly original!

In 1970, a 23-year-old physics student at Imperial College London found himself at a life-altering crossroads. Brian May was deep into his doctoral research on cosmic dust—specifically the zodiacal dust cloud, the tiny particles that drift through the solar system and scatter sunlight. His PhD was well underway, and a promising academic career in astrophysics lay ahead. But there was another path calling him. May was also the lead guitarist of a newly signed rock band named Queen. With a record deal secured and tours on the horizon, the band’s momentum was building fast. Faced with an impossible choice between the guitar and the telescope, May made his decision: he paused his studies and bet everything on music. Queen’s ascent was meteoric. By the mid-1970s, they had become a global phenomenon. Timeless anthems like “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “We Will Rock You” exploded onto the charts, while May’s iconic homemade guitar, the Red Special, helped define the band’s legendary sound. Stadiums sold out worldwide, and millions of albums flew off the shelves. Yet throughout his rock stardom, May never fully let go of his scientific passion. Even at the height of Queen’s fame, he stayed connected to astrophysics—reading journals, attending lectures when possible, and maintaining contact with his former supervisor, Professor Michael Rowan-Robinson, who had once told him: “You can always come back and finish.” Thirty-six years after stepping away, in 2006, May decided the time had finally come. He reached out to Rowan-Robinson, and together they revived the long-dormant project. Though the field had moved forward and his original data needed updating, his early observations still held real scientific value. Balancing his ongoing music career with late-night research sessions, May updated his work, incorporated new findings, and refined his analysis. In 2007, at the age of 60, Imperial College London officially awarded him a PhD in astrophysics—not an honorary title, but one earned through rigorous research and peer review. Dr. Brian May had finally completed what he started more than three decades earlier. His journey is a powerful reminder that passion has no expiration date. Whether on stage under stadium lights or studying the dust between the planets, Brian May proved it’s never too late to finish what you began.
