In another disturbing twist as to how right wing racist are trying to rewrite history to remove references to race.

This can't be allowed to happen, one way to fight this is to share what is going on, preserve the ORIGINAL story narrative so that future generations know full well Rosa was asked to move due to HER COLOR.

This is an interesting podcast from Awesome Astronomy looking at a how a recent James Webb telescope discovery could force us to re-write what we know about the evolution of the universe.

Dicuss further on Fedi or on Science Forums

Something else found on the Fediverse. This was posted by Science Alert. The links should work from here too, if not you will need an account on a Mastodon instance. So lots of interesting things happening

This was posted to Mastodon, I am sharing the link to a series on the JPL and the space age

Interesting series and hopefully there should be more episodes coming up

The infant universe transforms from a featureless landscape to an intricate web in a new supercomputer simulation of the cosmos’s formative years.

An animation from the simulation shows our universe changing from a smooth, cold gas cloud to the lumpy scattering of galaxies and stars that we see today. It’s the most complete, detailed and accurate reproduction of the universe’s evolution yet produced, researchers report in the November Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Another step forward in our understanding of the Universe.

George Harrison – Tribute to John Lennon

As of 17th August 2021, the Taliban swift take over of Afghanistan [1] is in the news. I decided to look up the history of Afghanistan, which is really interesting.

Granted Wikipedia is NOT considered an academic source of information, nevertheless this article makes interesting reading and if you are writing an essay or paper then there are citations and references to the authors sources of information. Which would make further reading too.

Interesting quote in the article

“Afghanistan is “easy to march into, hard to march out of.” was made by Alexander the Great in 330 BCE, assuming I have read understood the article correctly, the situation is not much different now.

I will have another look later as the article is right up August 1t5th at the time of writing this.

I think by understanding the history of the country more, then it does make understanding the current situation better . Given that it has been invaded so many times, and each time the culture has been influenced, both in what seems positive and negative ways.

I am currently working through 'The Evolving Universe' with Open Learn. This book proved quite helpful as an additional resource and reminder to complement this study.

Sometimes what is needed is another explanation that is slightly different to aid understanding.

The Evolving Universe courses goes in to the Atom on a sub atomic level. Looking at the early universe, how the main forces interacted with each other and looks the structure of particles such as the Proton. SO also looks at Leptons, Bosons and the strange world of Quarks. Quarks have different variants; up, down, charm, strange, as well as their anti-matter counterparts.

A really interesting if not rather complex look at this minute world of sub-atomic particles.
