    The Open University  (OU) lists over 900 free short courses in 8 categories.

    In the Science category you can look at Babylonian Mathematics, Chemical in drinking water, antibiotic resistance, Toys & engineering materials, working on your own in mathematics, telescopes and spectrographs to name but a few.

    Or you could learn/ brush up a new language in the language section

    Something to do in theses Covid times for all ??

    Thanks for sharing.

    Greetings,

    I am trying to understand how serious is current situation of pollution on the planet? How long should it stand until everything collapse? I know it is hard to answer this question, but someone more knowledgeable than me should be able to say something more about this topic. Reasons and consequences preferable! 

    It is hard to give the number of years but the medical waste include disposable masks and gloves is definitely going to reduce the number.

    So I've been thinking a lot about how we can help fix and stop climate change and one thing came to mind... I remember watching a documentary about the history of earth from the start and hearing that a bacteria is what produced the air we breathed today and it is estimated that it contributes to 50-80% of that.

    After realizing this is a huge amount i was wondering... is it possible to genetically modify the Phytoplankton to be exact to produce more oxygen or do make them reproduce faster? if we can get them to produce faster... would this be able to stop global warming? (This would also need more trees and less carbon emissions as well). Let me know I've been super interested in this subject recently.

    please no hate just an idea.

    It good and relevant idea. But only "execution" of such ideas can make a difference.

    Our view on climate change, the point where we are today and predictions are the result of scientific breakthroughs, steady developments and of course technological leaps.

    All of the above components are the keys for the climate models, upon which we fully rely.

    Firstly, I would like to share a link, which is different from popular climate change and modeling discussions with its analysis approach.

    My second point would be human impact and actions planned and being done for the nearest future. Net zero 2050 might be unrealistic. But there should be a reasonable deadline, to sharpen international initiatives and economies. Even if a lot of plans exist only on paper or contradict the budgets, even environmentally unfriendly infrastructure cannot stop in that short period.

    My third point would be that climate changing is not only about emissions, models and personal carbon print. The whole technology and knowledge, which is  in our hand should be used to follow the 2050 deadline, including space manufacturers, dedicated to global changes and local ecosystems monitoring as well as data sharing.

    Yes you are right there should be a reasonable deadlines. Because since the emergence of Covid-19, the usage of disposable gloves and masks has increased. And by the end of the day this medical waste is creating a new kind of pollution.

    Given the speed of the winds and the level of solar activity in this country, the idea is amazing. The only question is: where is a rather poor country going to get $9.4 billion and how is it going to repay such a large loan? It seems that some other large country has conceived the project, and Namibia will be just a construction site.

    Yeah true. May this is why this project will end-up in papers only and no execution will take place. Lets hope for the best because it can also be game changer for this nation.

    "A mathematician from Harvard University has (mostly) solved a 150-year-old Queen's gambit of sorts: the delightful n queens puzzle.

    In newly self-published research (meaning it has not yet been peer-reviewed), Michael Simkin, a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard's Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications, estimated the solution to the thorny math problem, which is based loosely on the rules of chess."

    That quote is from a Popular Mechanic's article on research self-published through Cornell University.  I don't quite understand the math, but I thought it might be an interesting read if only for its references to chess.  Enjoy!

    Great news
