“By Popper’s method, science is orientated around the making of risky predictions, with rigorous experimental tests serving as a means of attempting to falsify these predictions..."

“Le Rêve de l'Aborigène is certainly of the ‘New Age’ movement, given its social ideals, though it
also demonstrates facets of the alternative lifestylers’ “reconstruction of social reality”. Despite Sherwood
distancing one from the other, I would argue that in this case, the festival is appropriately labelled as
possessing characteristics of both: emphasis on notions such as the use of didjeridu in healing methods,
along with the sensitivity to the politics of Aboriginal culture. The festival is also distinctive in placing
musical instruments, especially the globally practised didjeridu, at the centre of the activities – the “true
hero” of the festival is the didjeridu (Boucabeille, 2015)”

“The K-T extinction coincided with 2 planetary-scale natural disturbances: an asteroid impact and heightened volcanism (Chiarenza et al, 2020). Hull et al (2020) indicate that the asteroid, known as Chicxulub, produced a crater around 200km wide on impact. Chicxulub added billions of tons of sulphur and CO2 to the atmosphere and the impact of superheated material causing molten ejecta to fall from the sky. This raised temperatures near the impact 65 site, causing heat stress and death up to thousands of kilometres away”

"Upon completion, it is estimated that the dam will hold between 60 and 70 billion cubic metres of water (Nigatu and Dinar, 2017) and will cost US $4.8 billion, reaping immense benefits for the Ethiopian economy (Salman, 2016). However, in holding back such large volumes of water, it threatens to reduce the discharge of the Nile, and in turn, the economic stability of downstream riparians Egypt and Sudan, becoming, therefore, a major source of conflict between the three nations (El-Nashar and Elyamany, 2018)

“Despite these contextual differences, both War Music and the Iliad convey the devastating impact of war and the cost of human life through the inclusion of so many minor characters. Using this idea of ‘forgettable’ characters, Logue changes the names into (often) bizarre versions not intended to be read as Homeric-alternatives but used to underscore the way that we understand modern warfare”

“Manet depicts this popular leisure space, using the barmaid as the protagonist to represent Paris’ climate of commodification and consumption. Suzon is propped on display amongst other items for sale and has the sole purpose to bring in customers through seduction. She is not there to enjoy the social space but rather be enjoyed. Despite her commodified labour, the ambiguous Suzon represents the modern woman, a new figure emerging within Parisian society, reinforced by the female spectators in the background”

“Hick sees Christ’s uniquely salvific position as stemming from linguistic crossed wires, reinforced by Christianity being an imperial and colonial religion throughout much of modern history. This results in orthodox Christological assertions being nothing more than an ill-guided impediment in the human pursuit of the transcendental Real. This view changes the fundamental Christian definition of God”
