Two-part documentary which deals with two of the deepest questions there are - what is everything, and what is nothing?

 

In two epic, surreal and mind-expanding films, PROFESSOR JIM AL-KHALILI searches for an answer to these questions as he explores the true size and shape of the universe and delves into the amazing science behind apparent nothingness.

 

The second part, Nothing, explores science at the very limits of human perception, where we now understand the deepest mysteries of the universe lie. Jim sets out to answer one very simple question - what is nothing? His journey ends with perhaps the most profound insight about reality that humanity has ever made. Everything came from nothing. The quantum world of the super small shaped the vast universe we inhabit today, and Jim can prove it.

 

Professor Jim Al-Khalili explores the true size and shape of the universe and delves into the amazing science behind apparent nothingness.

MICHAEL PORTILLO is in the Thai capital, Bangkok, midway through his rail tour of Thailand. He learns how the late 19th-century King Rama V built a grand palace and introduced railways to his country. He discovers the fine terminus commissioned by the king and meets a historian and designer who shares family roots with the present royal dynasty. Michael learns that King Rama V’s love of steam engines was inspired by Queen Victoria.

 

At the colossal new station under construction in the city, Michael hears how its four levels and 24 platforms will transform Thailand’s transport infrastructure. He circles the Grand Palace by tuk tuk, then boards the 21st-century skytrain for a wonderful view of the city.

 

Michael dines on the water in a floating market, where purchases are made from boat to boat. Following in the footsteps of writers such as Joseph Conrad, Graham Greene and John Le Carre, Michael checks into the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, built just before his guide.

MELAKA, MALAYSIA - Malaysian Food Tour!

 

Melaka (also sometimes spelled Malacca) is a beautiful city in southern Malaysia, significant in history, packed with delicious food, and again, like most of Malaysia, a melting pot of cultures, peoples and foods.

 

Here’s what we ate in this food tour of Melaka, Malaysia:

 

Kedai Kopi Chung Wah - One of the foods you have to eat in Melaka is Hainanese chicken rice balls. The rice is cooked with chicken broth like most chicken rice, but instead of just a plate of rice, you get little fish ball shaped rice balls, along with chicken. It’s an iconic dish, but it’s pretty delicious and makes a wonderful breakfast.

Total price - 29 MYR ($7.12)

 

Asam Pedas Pak Man - Asam pedas is sour spicy, and you’ll find variations of it across much of Southeast Asia, but Melaka is quite famous for it within Malaysia. We went to Asam Pedas Pak Man, a stall set up within a local Malaysian food court. I ordered a variety of different plates, each asam pedas but with a different fish. All were spectacular. It looks extremely spicy, but it’s not actually all that spicy, however it is extremely tasty and full of herbs and chilies and flavor. Best Malaysian food dish of the day in Melaka for me.

Total price - 75 MYR ($18.39)

 

Klebang Original Coconut Shake - This was pretty ordinary for me, nothing spectacular, but again it’s one of those things most people try in Melaka.

Total price - 9.90 MYR ($2.43)

 

Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup - Next up, satay celup, a unique Melaka style satay where you choose your own skewers and boil them in the sauce right in the middle of your table. For me honestly, satay celup is too sweet, but I have to admit it’s a lot of fun to eat and cook, and very social.

Total price - 34 MYR ($8.34)

 

Ikan Bakar Haji Masu - Finally to end this Malaysian food tour in Melaka (Malacca), we went to a seafood, ikan bakar (grilled fish) restaurant. There are quite a few huge seafood restaurants in Melaka, but I wanted one that was kind of small and laid back. Ikan Bakar Haji Masu was fantastic, and I think the best thing was their grilled fish.

Total price - 99 MYR ($24.27)

George was the largest nuclear explosion to date (a record that stood until the first thermonuclear device test, Ivy Mike, 17 months later).

George was a thermonuclear physics experiment, and used a purely experimental device design unsuitable for use as a weapon. The test device, named the CYLINDER, consisted of an enriched uranium core which was imploded using a unique cylindrical implosion system. This device may have been the first to use external initiation to begin the fission chain reaction. The Cylinder fission device may have been based on a design by physicist George Gamow.

AMAZING FACTS : Aenigmachanna gollum, a 100 million-year-old fish

‘Meet Aenigmachanna gollum, a 100 million-year-old fish that  looks like a dragon and swims like an eel. 

After remaining hidden for a hundred million years, the fish was discovered in the watery underground rocks of Kerala and has been named “Gollum”, after the dark and conflicted character of JRR Tolkien’s epic saga ‘Lord of the Rings’.

The Gollum belongs to an old family of fish, called dragon snakeheads, which retains its primitive characteristics after all these millennia. As per the researchers, it also survived the separation of India and Africa around 120 million years ago. 

Interestingly, it is likely that the Gollum would have remained unknown for longer without the power of social media.

At the beginning of 2018, Rajeev Raghavan, a fish researcher at Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies and co-author of the present study, saw a post on social media of a curious fish that a person had found in a well in the backyard. He could not recognise the creature and emailed the picture to fellow researcher Ralf Britz, who couldn’t understand it either.

Raghavan and his colleagues started to collect more specimens of the fish for a scientific study that would bring Britz all the way to India. Then, in a flooded paddy field in Kochi, Britz would see the elusive fish rise to the surface late one night.

And so the Gollum was first identified as a new species and genus in May 2019 in a study published in Zootaxa.
