PHOTO OF THE DAY
This is one of the most famous images in photographic history.
The first ever X-ray image was taken in 1895 by Wilhelm Röntgen, awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physics, 1901.
The image of his wife Bertha's hand (wedding ring clearly visible) propelled Röntgen into an international celebrity. The medical implications were immediately realised. Röntgen named the discovery X-radiation, or X-rays, after the mathematical term 'X' which denotes something unknown.

Can the
spooky world of quantum physics explain bird navigation, photosynthesis and
even our delicate sense of smell? Clues are mounting that the rules governing
the subatomic realm may play an unexpectedly pivotal role in the visible world.
Join leading thinkers in the emerging field of quantum biology as they explore
the hidden hand of quantum physics in everyday life and discuss how these
insights may one day revolutionize thinking on everything from the energy
crisis to quantum computers.
The World Science

digital content that allows a broad general audience to engage with scientific
discoveries. Our mission is to cultivate a general public informed by science,

Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) - One of the reasons I was very interested to visit Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) island in Thailand is not only because it’s a gorgeous National Park, but also because it’s home to the Moken people - a sea nomadic community - experts of the ocean. So in the afternoon, we headed over to the village on the island, and it was an honor to walk around, and learn about the Moken people and their amazing culture. #Thailand #Andaman #island
Moken - or people of the sea - traditionally live in the Andaman sea islands around Thailand and Myanmar. Traditionally, Moken people would live partly from their boats, and partly on ground. But eventually this community settled on Koh Surin, forming a village.
One of the amazing things about the Moken is their acute knowledge of the sea. During the devastating tsunami in the Indian ocean in 2004, the elders of this village knew something as different, and they instructed everyone to climb to higher ground. Though the village was destroyed everyone from the village survived. It’s this sense of nature and the world that makes the Moken so special.
Though it was a short visit, it was interesting and a privilege to learn a little about the Moken people on Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) island.
If you haven’t seen my other Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) national park island tour, you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/SnKHJBjIn3I
Thank you for watching and hope you’re having a fantastic day!
