"Artificial intelligence is playing an ever-increasing role in our lives. But will this prove to be a blessing for humanity, or have we created a monster? We talk to leading futurists and experts to find out the impact they believe AI will have on our personal potential, jobs, and even safety." https://youtu.be/bhvK-K98h4Q #Youtube #Video #FT #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #STEM #Technology #Tech

The secrets of Einstein's unknown equation – with Sean Carroll.
"The real Einstein's Equation is part of general relativity, which relates the curvature of spacetime to the mass and energy distributed within it.
Sean explains why the geometry of spacetime has anything to do with gravity, and how this famous equation expresses the way that spacetime curves." https://youtu.be/BRudidBcfXk #Youtube #Video #Science #Einstein #Space #Universe #Equation #Physics #Lecture @science @physics
"The industrialisation and commercialisation of food have transformed our diets, whereby most of our calories now come from an entirely novel set of substances. Ultra Processed Food (UPF) now makes up 60% of the average diet in the UK and USA. It is highly processed, highly addictive, and largely unhealthy." https://youtu.be/5QOTBreQaIk #Youtube #Video #Science #Food #Diet #Health @science
"In this talk, Professor Budd will describe how these models work and the assumptions that go into them. He will discuss how reliable our predictions of climate change are, and show how mathematicians can give us insights into both past and future." https://youtu.be/w4O4jK-lZrI #Youtube #Video #Climate #ClimateChange #Science #Maths #Math #Mathematics #Lecture
"In this illustrated lecture, Andrew George, author of a prize-winning translation of the Epic of Gilgamesh, explores four themes related to this Babylonian masterpiece: the archaeology of the poem’s recovery, the reconstruction of its text, the story it tells, and its messages about life and death." https://youtu.be/Rd7MrGy_tEg #Youtube #Video #Lecture #Babylon #Poem #Poetry #Mesopotamia #Cuneiform #Archaeology @archaeodons

"It took most of human history for our population to reach 1 billion—and just over 200 years to reach 8 billion. But growth has begun slowing, as women have fewer babies on average. When will our global population peak? And how can we minimize our impact on Earth’s resources, even as we approach 10 billion?" https://youtu.be/vJ5p3pZlBi4 #Youtube #Video #Videos #Animation #Human #Population #Map #Maps #History #Histodon #Histodons @histodon @histodons
"A team of historians and scientists wanted to map cultural mobility, so they tracked the births and deaths of notable individuals like David, King of Israel, and Leonardo da Vinci, from 600 BC to the present day. Using them as a proxy for skills and ideas, their map reveals intellectual hotspots and tracks how empires rise and crumble". https://youtu.be/4gIhRkCcD4U #Youtube #Video #Videos #Animation #Science #History #Histodon #HIstodons #Map #Maps #Cartography #Culture #Empire @science @histodon @histodons
