Congratulations James Hobson and Hacksmith Industry for making the World's First Retractable Lightsaber. This is not an easy task at all and your team made it.

We are sure that if Grant Thompson still here today, he'll be the first one to give you a ring and congratulate you.

P.A.S.T. and F.A.S.T.

Canadian inventors have made every Star Wars fans’ dream come alive after creating the world’s first retractable proto-lightsaber.

2020 hasn't done messing up this world. Yesterday, this year took another person who first saw the development of aircraft particularly military. Unknown for the for most of us, this guy who deserves to be remember was the first man to break the Sound Barrier at 770+MPH on board the Glarmous Glennis. He played a great role in modern aviation, military, and even physics.

You will always be remembered and honored. Thank you for your service Gen. Chuck Yeager.

P.S. I tagged those people i know who loves or currently working in the field of aviation.

Astronomers have taken the first ever image of a black hole, which is located in a distant galaxy.
It measures 40 billion km across - three million times the size of the Earth - and has been described by scientists as "a monster".

The black hole is 500 million trillion km away and was photographed by a network of eight telescopes across the world.
Details have been published today in Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Prof Heino Falcke, of Radboud University in the Netherlands, who proposed the experiment, told BBC News that the black hole was found in a galaxy called M87.

"What we see is larger than the size of our entire Solar System," he said

Finally, a positive online "challenge" has gone viral!

The AI won five-game series against two pros despite surprisingly having slower reaction times and a lower click rate than human players. The DeepMind team concluded that it won because of “superior macro and micro-strategic decision-making, rather than superior click-rate, faster reaction times, or the raw interface.”

Add StarCraft II to the list of increasingly sophisticated games at which well-trained AIs can smash fallible, meat-fingered humans to chunky bits. Google’s DeepMind AI beat two professional players of Blizzard’s StarCraft in two multi-game series that happened in December, the companies jointly...
