Nowadays,
there is plenty of unusual swimming facilities that fundamentally change our
idea of what water transport is all about. However, alternative fuel vessels,
using, for example, liquid hydrogen, are of special interest are. One of these
technological wonders is the EnergyObserver – the vessel that can fundamentally change people's
perception of “clean” energy.

Switzerland's
famous Glacier Express in Winter Snow. Travelling from Zermatt to St Moritz by
train on the Interrail Pass / Eurail Pass. Full details/itinerary here:
https://www.bangorni.com/glacier-expr...
We travelled
in early January following a stay in the town of Zermatt (next to the famous
Matterhorn mountain) when the small station town is still covered in snow and
decorated for Christmas. Note, this was part of a wider Interrail/Eurail
journey outlined fully here: https://www.bangorni.com/interrail-in...
The Glacier
Express railway train then follows from Zermatt (08:00AM start for us) through
many small mountain stations, including Visp, before crossing the snowy
mountains of the Alps.
Early
attractions include the Oberalppass, which is the highest point of the journey,
as well as the Rhine Gorge where the Rhine River passes in the Swiss Alps.
Before reaching the next main station at Chur (pronounced Coor). And this is an
optional end to the Glacier Express.
However, the
best-known attraction is the Landwasser Viaduct, found along the train line
between Chur and St Gallen, and it takes roughly 2 hours between these two
stations of the railway line.
The Glacier
Express takes 8 hours in total from Zermatt to St Moritz (Switzerland) on what
is known as the 'World's Slowest Fast Train' where it is a high-speed train,
only, given the terrain, it is the world's slowest when going from point A to
point B.

Thank you to

SHIGATSE,
TIBET - Along with Lhasa, Shigatse is one of the most important and largest
cities in Tibet. We had the honor to explore Shigatse for the day, learn about
the city, eating Tibetan food, and learn about the amazing Tibetan culture.
#Shigatse #Tibet #food
Tibetan
breakfast - There’s nothing better to eat for breakfast in Tibet than tsampa -
roasted barley flour, mixed with yak cheese, yak butter, and sugar, and formed
into small hand-squeezed balls. It grows like a loaf of bread in your stomach -
it’s so hearty and filling. The best part of the experience was eating it in a
local home and watching them as they made it for breakfast, the common way they
do everyday for breakfast. The butter tea was excellent.
Tibetan food
lunch - We went to a local family restaurant for lunch we we tried a number of
Tibetan, and specifically Shigatse foods, including dumpling in soup, a fried
bread stuffed with yak, fried sheep lungs, and Tibetan blood sausage. It was a
heavy and meaty lunch, and the food was delicious.
Tashilhunpo
Monastery - As the palace of the Panchen Lama (second most important spiritual
figure in Tibetan Buddhism), the Tashilhunpo Monastery is one of the most
sacred and important sites in Shigatse. After walking around the temple complex
in the morning, we then went into the temple complex in the afternoon.
It was a
great day of food, exploring, and learning in Shigatse, Tibet.
Thank you to
Travel China & Tibet (https://www.travelchinatibet.com/), they sponsored my
trip to Tibet, and they did an amazing job to cater to the exact things I
wanted to do. Highly recommended when you visit Tibet.

Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) - In March
2020, we spent about a week in the Southern Thailand province on Phang Nga - I
absolutely loved it - from the food to the people to the natural scenery and
beaches. We decided to go to Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์), a national park island, known to be one of the most
pristine islands in Thailand. And since it wasn’t as busy with tourism as it
typically is, we were able to get a booking at the National Park lodge on the
island. In this video I’ll share this entire experience of getting to Koh
Surin, and staying in the bungalows.
Greenview
Tour Speedboat - 1,700 THB ($52.44) per
person, roundtrip - First you must get to Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) island,
and the fastest way to get there is by speed boat which takes about 1 hour 10
minutes. The boat left from Khura Buri (คุระบุรี) pier, in Phang Nga province. The boat ride was
surprisingly smooth and we arrived to the island, to the amazingly pure and
clear waters of the islands.
Buffet lunch
- 750 THB ($23.13) per person - There aren’t too many food options - or let me
say, no food options other than the National Park headquarters canteen. But you
can choose to order from the menu, or you can eat the buffet that lots of
snorkeling trips eat on day trip to the island. Since the buffet was ready and
we were really hungry, we just ate the buffet. It’s not the greatest Thai food
you’ll eat, but it was ok.
Bungalow
Price - 2,000 THB ($61.69) per night - Bungalows are basic, but comfortable,
with AC and self contained. I thought they were great.
The best
things for me about staying at the bungalow overnight is that Koh Surin (หมู่เกาะสุรินทร์) can be
busy during the day because most people take day trips to the island, but head
back to mainly by 3 or 4 pm. So being there after hours, it was so quiet, so
peaceful, and so relaxing. That was the best.
Thank you
for watching and hope you’re having a fantastic day!

Michio Kaku
on what makes a supergenius.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MICHIO KAKU:
Dr. Michio
Kaku is the co-founder of string field theory, and is one of the most widely
recognized scientists in the world today. He has written 4 New York Times Best
Sellers, is the science correspondent for CBS This Morning and has hosted
numerous science specials for BBC-TV, the Discovery/Science Channel. His radio
show broadcasts to 100 radio stations every week. Dr. Kaku holds the Henry
Semat Chair and Professorship in theoretical physics at the City College of New
York (CUNY), where he has taught for over 25 years. He has also been a visiting
professor at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, as well as New York
University (NYU).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSCRIPT:
Michio Kaku:
If you watch the "Big Bang Theory" on CBS television you see these
clueless nerds who are doormats when it comes to the opposite sex, right. And you realize is there any basis in reality? First of all none of my friends are like that
and all my friends are physicists, right.
Well there
is a kernel of truth and that is some of these individuals may suffer from
something called Asperger’s Syndrome which is a mild form of autism. These people are clueless when it comes to
social interactions. They don’t look you
in the eye, for example. And yet they have fantastic mental and mathematical
capabilities. We think, for example,
that Isaac Newton had Asperger’s. The
greatest scientist of all time was very strange. He had no friends to speak of. He could not carry a decent conversation and
yet here he was spitting out some of the greatest theories in the history of
science. Calculus. The Universal Law of Gravitation. The Theory of Optics. And we think he had Asperger’s Syndrome.
Now
Asperger’s Syndrome is a mild form of autism and in autism we have what are
called savants. That is people that have
an IQ of maybe 80 but have incredible mathematical and musical abilities. In fact, some of these individuals can hear
one symphony and just play it by memory on a piano. Other people could be in a helicopter, have a
helicopter ride over Manhattan, see the entire New York harbor and then from
memory sketch the entire harbor. In
fact, if you want to see it go to JFK Airport in New York City and you will see
it as you enter the international terminal.
So what is it about these people?
Well, first of all a lot of them had injuries to the left temporal
lobe. One individual had a bullet as a child
go right through the left temporal lobe.
Another person dove into a swimming pool and injured very badly the left
temporal lobe. And these people wound up
with incredible mathematical abilities as a consequence. And so what is it about their brains?
Well
Einstein’s brain has actually been preserved.
Einstein when he died had an autopsy in which case the pathologist stole
the brain without permission of the family.
He just realized that he was sitting next to something historic, took
the brain, took it home with him, and it was sitting in a jar in his home for
decades. He even drove across the
country with the jar inside his trunk.
And there’s even a TV special where you can actually see the cut up
brain of Albert Einstein. And you
realize first of all the brain is a little bit different. You can’t tell by looking at it that it’s so
remarkably different but you realize that the connections between the prefontal
cortex and the parietal lobe – a connection that is accentuated in people that
do abstract reasoning is thickened. So
there definitely is a difference in the brain of Einstein. But the question is did it make Einstein or
did Einstein make this change of the brain?
Are
champions born or are they made? That
still is not known because people who exercise mental abilities, mathematical
abilities, they can thicken that part of the brain themselves. So we know that people who do well in
mathematics, brain scans clearly show that their brains are slightly different
from the average brain. So in
conclusion, we’re still children with regards to understanding how this process
takes place. Tonight don’t go home and
bang yourself on the left temporal lobe.
We don’t know how it works. We
just know that in a tiny fraction of these cases people with injury to the left
temporal lobe, some of the become super geniuses.
