Hi!.
Really interesting article that I didn't finish because I am not sure if the time that a neutrino takes to encompass 732 km is 2,44 microseconds or instead 2,44 nanoseconds counting with the fact that they travel at speed of light: 300.000 km/s.
Article:
https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/neutrino?fbclid=IwAR0m-cLY1vddITvAqfEWmzu2u5dIrhJQSN3FbyaSTpLgPXCwV9r7jL8dVpU
T=e/v=732km/300.000km/s=0.00244 s. 1 second = 1000 nanoseconds so It seems to be wrong to use the term for the result in microseconds = 0.000001 seconds, (1 second = 1000000 microseconds.
Am I right?. I could be wrong if I missed something.
Thanks

We used a photon collider that caused bosons to be emitted
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp_BXD7hPOw&t=1s
We see CLEARLY the photon decay to muons and Electron showers. This is the Experiments and results. The new Atomic model is "Electron Flood" where electrons are DIPOLES and are the Muon and Electron neutrinos as a UNIT inside a photon and upon concussion in our Photon Crusher they seperate. CERN is expressing interest in photon collisions as we use light and only a few particles. CERN uses 100 billion ATOMS. Also Atoms are 918 times bigger than light.

Your college is just wonderful. My Husband went there, and after 5 years of living in Mississipi, he decided to come back to meet his friends from there, and take on the world, going back to your college.
Juliet Shields stereotypes Sir Walter Scott as an anti feminist with no message and simply an eye on populist writing for the dollar. Never mind that her gold standard, Jane Austen, had heroines who fell in love with men of superior social standing.. never a coal miner. In other words ... snobs who encourage a stereotypical expectation of how we men should be judged by women.
She overlooks the fact that in one of his greatest novels, Ivanhoe, the central character was in fact not Ivanhoe, who remains a shadowy two dimensional figure.. but a beautiful brilliant Jewish woman doctor, who outwits a Crusader knight who wants to r**e her. Rebecca manipulates the Templar's destruction, organizes the rescue of Richard the Lion Heart from King John, using her Jewish family to help him, then flees to the protection of the Arabs in Spain, where, Scott explains, Boabdil has her Jewish relative in high office , According to Scott this was because the Arabs were more tolerant than the Christians. It was a blurring of history, since Boabdil lived centuries after the setting of Ivanhoe. But it was also uncannily prophetic, since Scott could never have anticipated that Boabdil, through forcing the Crusaders to sign the Treaty of Granada in 1491 which guaranteed the protection of Jews by Ferdinand and Isabela, created a lifeline for 40 thousand Jews in the Holocaust. Spain's original betrayal of that treaty and expulsion of jews with the Inquisition gave the Second Republic an excuse to pass a law granting them Spanish Citizenship in the 1930s. Scott's argument for tolerance was read from Paris to St Petersburg. It was a pretty advanced message for a writer who shone centuries after Shakespeare's pound of flesh or before Dickens and his stereotyping of the Jewish fencer, Fagin branded his people up till the present time.
Conversely Scott a freemason, also writes one of the most celebrated prayers for Catholics, Ave Maria. Scott has been misread in his intentions by his failure to fall into line with 20th century social commentary. Well, he simply wasn't alive then. It is easy to preach with the wisdom of hindsight. Instead Scott chose to use his populist power celebrate differences and to promote tolerance between races and religions and genders. I wonder to what extent this came from Freemasonry? He was, in fact, a pioneering multicultural artist.
As a New Zealand journalist and a descendant of Scott, I can see the parallels between his role and that of Sir Peter Jackson. Both used a modern medium to promote their country, Scott, the Highlands, and Jackson, the South Island High Country for Lord of the Rings. In both cases they triggered not only a tourist boom, but a boom in intellectual and material advancement. As their countrymen and women saw their nation reflected back and romanticized in the eyes of others it gave them confidence to write more books or make more movies. Scientific advancement also followed. New Zealand has just launched a number of satellites into space. The technology of movies like Avatar and King Kong came from Wellington. Taika Waititi's Jo Jo Rabbit is reflective of New Zealand's unprecedented self-confidence.
I am sure that like Scott, Jackson will suffer criticism in decades to come. But both are men of the moment. What they achieved in their own lifetimes cannot and should not be downplayed.

Paganism in Roman Britain #GreshamLecture

Paganism in Roman Britain
What pre-Roman deities persisted? Which new gods came with Romans?
This lecture looks at the evidence: inscriptions, statues and figurines, carvings and all the impediments of ritual, as well as the testimony of hundreds of burials.
It shows how the Romans developed the cults of native deities such as Sulis and Belatucadros, and imported their own official divinities such as Jupiter and Mercury and mystery religions such as that of Mithras.

The Israel-Palestine: Religion, Violence and Peacebuilding
Drawing on examples from the Israel-Palestine conflict, this lecture explores contrasting approaches, theories and practices for interpreting the relationship between religion and violence. It argues that understanding that religion can both incite violence and promote peace - is vital for building peace in the Middle East. It will explore the Myth of Redemptive Violence theory; the Mimetic Violence and Scapegoat theory; and the Myth of Religious Violence theory.

Microbial Megastructures
How have microbes formed structures on our planet?
Microbial Megastructures
Invisible microbes have created some of the largest structures on the planet. Mycorrhizal fungi form extraordinary subterranean networks that associate symbiotically with plant roots.
Most land plants, including many human crops, need mycorrhizae for optimal growth, but recent research has shown they also play important roles in forest-wide communication and may even turn some trees into carnivores. More dramatically, microbial communities have created global landmarks ranging from the White Cliffs of Dover to the Great Barrier reef.

How to Fight Fake News
Fake news, influence operations, disinformation, misinformation and conspiracy theories are different flavours of falsehoods that have one thing in common: they put citizens in the front line of countering threats to democracies, national security, and community safety.
This talk will explore governments’ and platforms’ efforts to counter falsehood, and what citizens can do to defend themselves, their loved ones, and ultimately their nations from influence operations.

Lives in Limbo: Jewish Refugees in Portugal, 1940-1945
This lecture highlights the experiences of Jewish refugees fleeing from antisemitic persecution and from World War II to Portugal. It describes how they were treated, how they attempted to escape Europe, and how they struggled in a “no-man’s land” between a painful past and an unknown future. Listening to their voices may help us to understand Jewish heartbreak and perseverance in the 1940s and encourage us to listen compassionately to refugees’ stories today.

NEW BOOK: “If we are to meet the challenges that an ever-changing world is throwing at us, then the task of accepting that uncertainty is about exploring the possible, rather than the impossible must be taken on board by all. It is our reliance on the past and accepted models and lack of accepting maverick, even challenging perspectives, which limits us and closes opportunity space. We need more creativity, more innovation and better embracing difference."

What is the role of the judiciary in England and Wales, how did it develop, and how does it compare with other countries?
This lecture will examine how judges are appointed, whose interests they serve, and who they are accountable to. It will examine the relationship between an independent judiciary and the rule of law, and what ideological assumptions underpin the judicial function in modern liberal democracies. Do our judges have the training, understanding and skills to perform their roles?

Love, Trust and Crypto #GreshamLecture
How is it democratising the financial system?
Love, Trust and Crypto
The crypto movement began as a reaction to the concentration of economic power in the traditional financial system (and associated financial crises). It involved the creation of a new type of financial recording system, that did not depend on any one individual keeping records, did not allow falsification, and prevented fraud and double spending.
Crypto is underpinned by public-private key encryption, hashing and mining and allows a completely decentralised system to write enforceable contracts that cannot be altered once written. But how does the technology actually work? How would the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet have played out had crypto been around in the sixteenth century?

The Irish and the Ulster Question Then and Now #GreshamLecture
Is it time to rethink it now Catholics are the majority in Northern Ireland?
The Question & the Question Then and Now
Britain before 1914 was convulsed by the Irish Question. Since the Act of Union of 1800, Ireland had been governed without the consent of the vast majority of Irish Catholics, who comprised around 3/4 of the population. Home Rule was the suggested solution. But there was a second question, the Ulster Question arising from the presence of a large Protestant minority in the north east of Ireland, who rejected rule from Dublin.
This lecture asks whether better answers are available today.

The Atmospheric Physics Behind Net Zero #GreshamLecture
Are we asking the wrong questions in regard to ?
The Atmospheric Physics Behind Net Zero
Before net zero, climate policy was all about contraction and convergence of emissions between rich and poor to achieve, in the words of the Rio Convention, “stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere” at a safe level. But scientists struggled to establish what that “safe” level was, making little progress in over a quarter of a century. And it was not because we were incompetent: for fundamental reasons in physics and probability theory, we were asking the wrong question.

How can we oppose falsehoods?
How to Fight Fake News
Fake news, influence operations, disinformation, misinformation and conspiracy theories are different flavours of falsehoods that have one thing in common: they put citizens in the front line of countering threats to democracies, national security, and community safety.
This talk will explore governments’ and platforms’ efforts to counter falsehood, and what citizens can do to defend themselves, their loved ones, and ultimately their nations from influence operations.

Our story
The College was established out of the Will of Sir Thomas Gresham, one of the most influential and important men across the Tudor and Elizabethan periods. Sir Thomas made himself indispensible as the financial agent for four successive monarchs from Henry VIII to Elizabeth I. As well as founding the Royal Exchange, Sir Thomas left proceeds in his Will for the foundation of the College in his name.
Gresham College was established in 1597 in Sir Thomas' former mansion on Bishopsgate. It was there that the seven original Gresham Professors lived and lectured, including the likes of Sir Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke. After over 150 years at Bishopsgate – a period that saw the establishment of the Royal Society within the College – we moved to new premises on the corner of Gresham Street and Basinghall Street. In 1991 the College moved to Barnard's Inn Hall, a 14 th Century hall located close to Chancery Lane.
Today the College continues our four-century-old tradition of providing free public lectures within London. We uphold our founding principle in maintaining the highest possible academic standards for all of our appointed Gresham Professors, Visiting Professors and visiting speakers. All of the College's 130 and more lectures and events each year are free and open to all. Booking is not generally required, but for a few lectures which do require it are all clearly marked.
The College has been recording its lectures since the 1980s and there are now over 1,900 lectures freely available online in text, audio or video formats. The provision of this free online archive of lectures aligns with our founding principles of accessible free education for all.
