    Superb talk by Sir Max - having read his book, I recognised that his talk could only be a summary and I recommend his book unreservedly, including for his mature reflections on the broader lessons about leadership and the relatively cosmopolitan outlook of President Kennedy (for all his imperfections). As Sir Max says, it is unlikely that most subsequent Presidents would have resolved the crisis as successfully. I agree also with his answers to the excellent questions from the audience. Thank you very much for sharing this.

    It is highly likely that the Phoenecians reached Mesoamerica around 950 BCE. Also, the Vikings reached the Americas long before Columbus, and the Basques reached North America long before the Vikings. The Basques may have received their "rudders" from the Phoenecians. The Phoebnecians were the root of all Celtic cultures in Europe.

    I'm amazed at how the physics community has been able to accept the ridiculous concept of quantum weirdness! You really have no idea! The double-slit experiment has been grossly misinterpreted. There are no waves, nor particles. The measurement problem is a HUGE misconception. There is no wave collapsing into particles. Light is not a wave, there is no interference. It's actually simple reflection. The detector is simply detecting reflected rays, hence the confusion with "particles". Superposition is a fantasy. It is not a real thing. It's the conclusion of clueless irrational minds. There is no superposition, no quantum entanglement, and there will be no quantum computers.

    About QM physicists are worried when does the wave collapse? or when is the measurement is made. When everything in physics is uncertain, these are trivial.

    New technologies, ❤new❤ research tools. BIG SCIENCE doesn't want to eliminate the *BIG MUD* of noise in fundamental optical experiments. WHY? Let me suggest for schoolchildren and students on one's own to measure the Universe, dark energy, black holes, etc. To do this, I propose two practical devices. «laser tape measure *+reference distance* 1,000,000 m”» and «Michelson-Morley HYBRID Gyroscope». I am writing to you with a proposal for the joint invention of a HYBRID gyroscope from non-circular, TWO coils with a new type of optical fiber with a “hollow core photonic-substituted vacuum zone or (NANF)” where - the light travels 250000 (In a laser tape measure, the length of the optical fiber is fixed at 1000000 ) meters in each arm, while it does not exceed the parameters 84/84/84 cm, and the weight is 24 kg. Manufacturers of “Fiber Optic Gyroscopes” can produce HYBRID gyroscopes for educational and practical use in schools and higher education institutions. Einstein dreamed of measuring the speed of a train, an airplane - through the Michelson-Morley experiment of 1881/2024, and only then would the experiment be more than 70% complete. This can be done using a fiber optic HYBRID gyroscope. Based on the completion of more than 70% of Michelson's experiment, the following postulates can be proven: Light is an ordered vibration of gravitational quanta, and dominant gravitational fields adjust the speed of light in a vacuum. you can make scientific discoveries; in astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, higher theoretical physics,... (We are not looking for ether, we will see the work of gravitational quanta) The result is a «theory of everything» in a simple teaching device and a new tape measure for measuring the universe.

    I found it disturbing that Grey adopted Collingwood’s title but never distanced himself from Collingwood - you should know what I mean - if you have read Collingwood’s advice on bullying and lying in politics. To me Grey maybe understood Russian and China but did not understand England. I would start the clock with Bacon not Hobbes, and see a slow crawl towards scientific enlightenment and democracy which really reached a peak with universal suffrage in 1928, pushed by Mill, Russell etc. Keynes, like Collingwood, was terrified of democracy and was actively working to undermine it before it even started. That is undeniable, but Grey seemed completely blind to it. From this outing he seemed to have (correctly) rejected the frying pan of complacency in Fukuyama, but only in order to (disastrously) jump into the fire of arbitrary denial of scientific and social progress served up by Kuhn. The both of them rather deliberate corollaries to Keynes

    Yes, they did and it isn’t easy to get “archaeologist” to come look at artifacts of a possible burial site on my entire block. Finely etched with laser precision small rocks with script writing that “academia” teaches natives did not have written language so then whose writing in these stones are these? Is it Aramaic or rather Amarica and the letters switched so rest of us dummies continue believe we are a new world discovered by the Vatican sponsored murderous conquest continue to be grateful for their discoveries. They were pirates or cartel who continue to plunder under the guise of this corrupt federal government. The robber barons didn’t build the mosques in St. Augustine during back to back wars with a shortage of materials, men to build who are experts in sacred geometry. Why does no one want to talk about the elephant in the room? Do you think the Seminoles w/ their Berber/Amazigh flair and crescent shaped medallions are indigenous? Maybe they are and maybe the story is backwards and some catastrophic occurrence drove them from here to the pillars of Hercules to settle in the Levant. That would explain how Egyptian mummies with traces of tobacco and cocoa(the nose candy type)in the repeated tests done by “academia” scientists. The containers I have collected these artifacts in smell strong of tobacco. There’s even a fist size rock with muslin wrapped around held by a crimson paint and I found a similar pattern online article about a Phoenician dye factory. One museum did reply back with, “provenance cannot be verified so not research worthy”. Ok, sorry did I accidentally contact Sotheby’s to sell Tang Dynasty vases? My bad…..delusional highfalutin distorted view of self museum director associated with central Florida university….so, I will wait for interested persons who won’t try and keep information from public knowledge… and no I don’t believe the fictitious agenda of holy books stating they were sacrificing babies. That is another distortion so the reader is unempathetic to their struggles and is it a bull they worship or the sacred cow similar to the Egyptians and Hindus consider important to pay homage to the female and respect motherhood. I speak from first hand knowledge of the incompatibilities of two different blood types during childbirth. These women didn’t have the life saving rhogam that I received 5 times with only two full term caesarean’s. Why would they throw babies into a fire yet have graves for them? Anything else you need to know? It appears I’m full of answers and not academic bull 💩

    It seems like Caesar as a title was the preferred destination until maybe the 2nd Century. Why else would Suetonius write the 12 Ceasars instead of the 11 Augusti? At the very least for a while the terms were interchangeable. I guess you could point to Hadrian because he explicitly makes sure that Marcus Aurelius is named Caesar and at that point it's the junior emperor title, which he holds for most Antoninus's reign as his adopted son and heir to the throne.
