There is much to learn from the past. Read George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) for a glimpse of our times.

I spent last Friday hanging out with these gentle giants! Two or three humpback whales and two grey whales plus a 1,000 dolphins!

It's step 1 from the authoritarian's playbook. Control criticism of them and release disinformation.

What a stunning sight! The Pillars of Creation where stars are born from the ashes of star deaths. These structures are increadibly massive. From top to bottom in this image is about 25 light years. The sun to our nearest star, Alpha Centauri, would take up the top 1/5 of the structure by scale!

Some of my pictures from #LunarEclipse! What a gorgeous sight it was! #Astrophotography

Absolutely

What Abu Simbel looked like when constructed and now, 3,500 years later.

A collection of pictures I took a year ago on vacation to Egypt. It's a very magical and mystical country with a deep history. Cleopatra was closer in time to the iphone than to the pyramids!!

This surprises no one. They are gleefully embracing the hypocracy.

Yesterday, I attended a glorious concert of Schoenberg's monumental piece, Gurrelieder. Fantastic story too! Full of passion, pathos, mysticism, and transcendence!

This is a collage of my #astrophotography from the past two years. I've seen things people wouldn't believe. Star births and star deaths, planets, moons, galaxies, nebulas, once in 80,000 year comets, supernovas, total solar eclipses, etc. Here is a collection of some of what I saw.

“I Was Once Here” from Three Epochs. 1.) Cave painting of someone's hand dating from 35,000 to 40,000 years ago. 2.) 12th century European homework from a six year old named "Onfim" doodling at school. 3.) Golden Disk that will outlast humanity as it flies on Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft.

I once stood at the edge of the continental shelf. I was 100 feet under water and the sea floor descended sharply to 2,000 feet deep! It was a very surreal sight. You can only see maybe 50 feet so it was like staring into the abyss you knew was right next to you.

Opinion | MAGA vs. Science Is No Contest A substantial number of Republican voters are losing faith in science.

There is a general tide of anti ratioinalism happening and it is politically motivated and decades in the making. Conservatives are anti-science because rationality and facts don't favor what they want to believe and that gets exploited by politicians who benefit.

YouTube video by Northwestern University Nano-sized bubble of water forms out of thin air

Amazing First Ever Video Of Hydrogen And Oxygen Becoming Water At A Molecular Level Has Been Captured! "It’s a known phenomenon, but it was never fully understood because you really need to be able to combine the direct visualization of water generation...”

Isn't this surreal? This is an AI animation of a Martian canyon taken by #Perserverience rover.

A picture I took by submerging my camera just a few inches under the ocean!
