“I hope us in the space sector can help young black, hispanic, white & asian kids have hope. Hope is having a future to look forward to. We are responsible for changing that narrative from despair to hope. Space is that future, not to abandon Earth but to help save it.” @capoglou pic.twitter.com/d96e0ug1Kr

With so many museums, galleries & art centres gradually closing, or reducing activities, this feels like an important & opportune moment to revisit @_foam’s pioneering work on fallow periods.
As always, @deziluzija& @zzkt were 5 years ahead of everyone:https://t.co/opKFe8AM7r

Today at the 2219 Opening Conversations, at @ArtSciMuseum, futurist Scott Smith (@changeist) provided an invaluable introduction to the history of futures work, focussing firstly on the early work of Herman Kahn at the RAND Corporation post-World War II.#SG2219 #FuturesImagined pic.twitter.com/EDjw4CWG0K

“Ballooning spiders operate within this planetary electric field. When their silk leaves their bodies, it typically picks up a negative charge. This repels the similar negative charges on the surfaces on which the spiders sit, creating enough force to lift them into the air. “

One of the key figures in today’s #blackhole story is scientist, #KatieBouman.

Take a look at this photo of her & her stack of hard drives containing the image data for the @ehtelescope, next to the photograph of Margaret Hamilton and her Apollo Guidance Computer source code. pic.twitter.com/cTiVZn6aqC

Due to blatant peer pressure, I’ve accepted the challenge by @changeist to post the covers of 7 books that I love & recommend: No explanations, no reviews.
The first book will surprise no-one I know.

Being with John Mawurndjul’s extraordinary work is less like visiting an exhibition, and more like being transported to another part of the Universe. One where the laws of nature, the very references of reality, are fundamentally different, yet supernaturally familiar. pic.twitter.com/uvhvPgY6Ou

I guess it was only a matter of time before @gregeganSF came up with a stunning insight that would ripple through a particular branch of the tree of mathematics. So, his recent work on superpermutation seem most apt.https://t.co/R2pQxIXT85https://t.co/IxABAwt0K4

If this sounds positively Pynchonian, you’re not wrong. I first came across octonions in “Against the Day” by Pynchon, where he did more than hint at the centrality of their role in unlocking the mysteries of matter and the universe. (4/8)https://t.co/qiLXMVFVMJ
