There have been a lot of advances in the treatment of blindness/visual impairment in the last decade. In the latest breakthrough a patient's vision will continue to improve after genes from light-sensitive algae were inserted into retina cells. I hope that the pace of these advances and research is maintained and in the not too distant future people will no longer have to suffer this terrible affliction. With so much bad news and tragedy recently it's nice to hear some good news for a change. "Blind man can see objects again after groundbreaking treatment: Patient's vision will continue to improve after genes from light-sensitive algae inserted into retina cells, say scientists" Article Link

So for those of you who actually missed it, Perseverance successfully landed on Mars today (making Mars officially the second busiest planet in the solar system over the last week but I guess that's kinda usually the case). It should feel as we, humanity, are making progress in space exploration. In this case: Mars exploration. The feeling of anticipation, finding something new and actually useful. Useful in practical perspective would be great, not just a bunch of theories scientists can argue about without stop. As another person here told "Science starts". Wonder what science and to what degree Mars will be the second busiest planet in out system? There are certain goals of this project I suppose. Have to wait the results. Just some thoughts. Watching that video with landing was intriguing. Waiting for results of this project is even more intriguing. Serious and tough buisiness that exploration.

Anton Petrov is a Canadian, who now works and lives in South Korea. He has an awesome channel on YouTube. He explains complex science topics in simple words and illustrates those with simulation software and video games. He usually posts a video each day. Each video description contains links to the sources of the topics. Topics include cosmology, astronomy, math, biology, or whatever catches his attention. Anton never covers pseudo-science.

Sabine Hossenfelder (born 18 September 1976) is a German author and theoretical physicist who researches quantum gravity. She is a Research Fellow at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies where she leads the Superfluid Dark Matter group. She is the author of Lost in Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray, which explores the concept of elegance in fundamental physics and cosmology. She describes her YouTube channel as "Science without the gobbledygook". Sabine is direct and doesn't accept nonsense. That makes discussions with her an interesting spectacle.

Rebecca Smethurst is a British astrophysicist, author, and YouTuber who is a Junior Research Fellow at the University of Oxford. She was the recipient of the 2020 Caroline Herschel Prize Lectureship awarded by the Royal Astronomical Society as well as the 2020 Mary Somerville Medal and Prize awarded by the Institute of Physics. As a researcher, Smethurst studies the role that supermassive black holes play in inhibiting different types of galaxies from forming stars. She is a member of the Galaxy Zoo collaboration run by her doctoral advisor Chris Lintott. Her YouTube channel is called Dr Becky ("your friendly neighbourhood astrophysicist"), which she describes as follows: "I'm Dr Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford. I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me!" She recently wrote a book, called "Space: 10 Things You Should Know". In the US it is available as "Space at the Speed of Light". About her work she tells us: "My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars."

A research team looking for dark matter particles, found something that surprised them. They didn't find such a particle, but instead they may have found a dark energy particle. More research is needed to confirm their findings and the theory behind it. However, it shows that research can have unexpected results.

Nice to see this posted here ! She has been running one of the best theoretical physics blogs on the web (http://backreaction.blogspot.com/) for quite a while. And as you said she doesn´t suffer fools lightly and the discussion sections have always been interesting. It seems like she has closed those comments lately and only posts the vids and their transcripts, but there is a lot of good stuff to be found there.

Scientists Got Funding To Resurrect Woolly Mammoth - But Why? (by Anton Petrov). A controversial topic with perhaps ethical and ecological issues. This time it is not science fiction. Sometimes it seems it is not that interesting but more like a challenge to us to understand whether we can do this - bring back to life someone in this case. If that can happen considering so many obstacles, we can be so pround of ourselves: overcome nature itself. And why not? Such questions as "why?" and "what for?" are unimportant at all, the consequences are ignored as well as many other points mentioned in that video. Many animals and plants do not exist today, some of them became extinct no so long ago, when we already could understand that scientists could do something about that. Ethical or not, but another question should be more important: "Did they die out for a reason maybe? The nature itself got rid of them? Evolution and all that?" Could not help but remember such famous movie as "Jurassic Park" where one of the scientists was talking all the time about how bad that idea was because this and that, and those were not ethical points but the points of survival. After watching this video this movie might be a good example of why it is dangerous. Advanced science seems a good thing. Maybe, as some others pointed out, use knowledge for other important problems people can't deal with right now. -- Though I would not mind to see alive ancient animal/ancient carnivorous plant just because it is tempting as well as tempting get closer to the Black Hole myself and look inside so to speak and not to die to tell the story.

I agree with you. One of the questions I have: We know that animal behavior is partially taught and imprinted by parents. Since the first mammophants don't have ones, how will they learn to survive? Elephants already have problems, because their ecosystems have become too small and they enter human territory in Asia. Also, the method used is CRISPR gene editing. How close will the mammophant be to the original mammoth? What if the mammophant survives, but has some genetic defect as a result of the editing? About plants: There exists a fault in Svalbard, Norway, with seeds of plants to secure crop diversity for the future. Of course that has an agricultural purpose and chances are slim that something like that can be done for all plant species. See Svalbard Global Seed Vault.

How close is nuclear fusion power? - Sabine Hossenfelder. How close is nuclear fusion to break-even? If you trust the headlines we're getting close and the international project ITER is going to be the first to produce energy from fusion power. But not so fast. Scientists have, accidentally or deliberately, come to use a very misleading quantity to measure their progress. Unfortunately we're much farther away from generating fusion power than the headlines suggest.

Turns out, game and film companies aren't the only ones who can make over the top badass trailers. NASA can do it, too Good video. Motivational. Bet there are already plenty of volunteers to take part in space emigration to become one of the first Lunarians. Seems like there is only one correct gif to post here Yep, that's him. Also, the method used is CRISPR gene editing. How close will the mammophant be to the original mammoth? What if the mammophant survives, but has some genetic defect as a result of the editing? There is always a risk. How far some people are willing to go to see the result of their whole life work I wonder.

30 years away. Always has been. Ethical or not, but another question should be more important: "Did they die out for a reason maybe? The nature itself got rid of them? Evolution and all that?" Are you saying they were deliberately killed off by someone?

Are you saying they were deliberately killed off by someone? Clarification: maybe they ceased to exist because of different reasons, the reason we, now, can't be sure 100 %. That could be anything: climate, lack of food, disease, meretorite, no adaptation to changes around them. Maybe it was just bad luck: certain events happened at once and the result - annihilation. were deliberately killed off by someone? What do you mean by "someone"? We know more or less animals X lived X ages ago. Later, we already know animals X dissapeared. And the reason? What happened in the past can be studied, but it is not 100 % solid truth. Some factors are not taken into consideration because we do not know about them and because of that conclusions might be wrong.

What do you mean by "someone"? Its just the way you worded it ('got rid of them'), kinda implies intent, i.e. that someone or something wanted to kill them and then did just that, not just some natural disaster or a quirk of evolution. So I wanted to clarify that point.
