Finding alien life wouldn't be terrifying. It would be a profound relief. As Professor Brian Cox explains, the thought that keeps him awake at night is the possibility that complex life is so incredibly rare that Earth might be the only inhabited planet in the entire Milky Way galaxy.... show more

ELON: WE MIGHT BE ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE "To the best of our knowledge, we don't know if life anywhere else. I'm often asked, are there aliens among us? And I'll say that I am one. They don't believe me. I think if anyone would know if there are aliens among us, it would be me. And we have 9,000 satellites up there, and not once have we had to maneuver around an alien spaceship. Bottom line is, I think we need to assume that life and consciousness is extremely rare, and it might only be us." Source: Elon Musk

Mayor Frey: “We are on the front lines of a very important battle. And it's important that we aren't silenced, that we aren't put down. This is not a time to bend our heads in despair or out of fear that we may be next. Because if we do not speak up, if we do not step out, it will be your city that is next.”

$Scientists discovered a galaxy so enormous that it almost doesn't seem real. Known as IC 1101, this cosmic giant may contain nearly a trillion stars, making it one of the largest galaxies ever discovered. For comparison, our own Milky Way contains only a fraction of that number. The scale of IC 1101 is almost impossible to imagine. If our Sun were just one of its stars, there would still be hundreds of billions more spread across this colossal galaxy. And the craziest part? Despite its unbelievable size, IC 1101 is just one galaxy among billions scattered throughout the universe. Which means the cosmos may be far larger than we can truly comprehend. 🌌✨⭐ #space #galaxy$

Every time you look at the stars, you are literally looking back in time. As Professor Brian Cox explains, because light takes time to travel through the vastness of space, we see the Andromeda Galaxy not as it is today, but as it was 2 million years ago. This means that if we look deep enough into the cosmos, we can actually see the oldest light in existence—the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation—a glowing echo that began its journey 13.8 billion years ago, right at the very dawn of the universe.

ELON MUSK: "Earth only has about 10% more life in it before it gets so hot that life is impossible. So eventually all life on earth will be destroyed by the sun, so we do at some point need to be a multi planet civilization."

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi: We entered the negotiations to prove to the whole world that their intention was to attack the Islamic Republic of Iran; their intention was hostile. And they could not claim that we requested negotiations and the Islamic Republic did not accept. We also negotiated so that it would be clear that the truth was with us, so that ultimate proof would be established for the whole world. Our own people would also understand that it wasn't the Islamic Republic that caused the war by refraining from negotiations. Because there was a question: if we hadn't negotiated and a war had broken out, everyone might have thought to themselves that if we had negotiated, the war wouldn't have happened.

ELON MUSK: "If you think really long-term, then you realize that eventually there will be some natural disaster, even if it is not made by humans, that destroys all life on Earth. Eventually, the Sun will expand and evaporate the oceans, and we'll be like Venus, so hot that no life can really exist. The only way to prolong life is to become multiplanetary and ultimately multistellar. And if we do not do that, all life on Earth will die."

It means that we, the people, create a government that is accountable to us, rather than the other way around…” Vivek Ramaswamy live at the This Is the Turning Point Tour

The Democrats might like our country to be in default…That was handed to them by a very well-meaning man that gave it to them because he thought it was the right thing to do. It could have been there a problem before the election, but this man thought it was the right thing to do.

ELON MUSK EXPLAINS THE REAL PURPOSE OF SPACEX "SpaceX is about advancing rocket technology to the point where we can extend life and consciousness beyond Earth to the moon, to Mars, eventually to other star systems And I think we should always view consciousness, life as we know it, as precarious and delicate, because to the best of our knowledge, we don't know of life anywhere else We have 9,000 satellites up there and not once have we had to maneuver around an alien spaceship So the bottom line is, I think we need to assume that life and consciousness is extremely rare and it might only be us. And if that's the case, then we need to do everything possible to ensure that the light of consciousness is not extinguished The image in my mind is of a tiny candle in a vast darkness. A tiny candle of consciousness that could easily go out And that's why it's important to make life multi-planetary, such that if there is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster on Earth, that consciousness continues That's the purpose of SpaceX"

It means that we believe our rights are given to us by God, not by our government. It means that we the people create a government that is accountable to us, rather than the other way around. It means that our elected representatives write the laws that bind us, not unelected bureaucrats. It means we believe in merit. That you are judged not on the color of your skin, but on the content of your character and your contributions. It means that we believe in the rule of law, so long as those laws are legitimately adopted. It means that you’re free to speak your mind, and practice your faith, without the government standing in your way.

$Brian Cox reveals that every tiny dot is a galaxy hosting 100 billion stars. That thin line at the top? A billion light-year span. Even at the speed of light, it would take a billion years just to cross that sliver. We are part of a cosmic ocean containing 30 sextillion stars, and yet, this is only the part we can see. The room went completely silent as the scale settled in. It is one thing to hear the numbers, but seeing that map makes you realize we are drifting in a vast, beautiful ocean of light. This is the observable universe, a tiny fraction of a much larger reality. Pure cosmic awe is the only appropriate response to our place among the stars. It makes every earthly struggle feel both infinitely small and our existence infinitely precious. Source: Horizons: A 21st Century Space Odyssey (Live Tour)$

Here is a video that challenges our understanding of human intelligence and progress. Judging by the ancient images, it seems that we are not so unique when it comes to technology. The poses of people reminiscent of using tablets and the drawings depicting car-like vehicles and aeroplanes suggest that all this existed in the past? We may not be the first to have achieved such technological progress. What if other civilisations had already travelled the same path of development and thinking that we are going through now? It is very likely that we are just a repeated link in an infinite chain. History, as we know, is often rewritten and we only have fragments of knowledge of the past. Think about it, what if all that we consider our own achievement was actually the path of ancient knowledge and technology undertaken by someone else, which we are rediscovering for ourselves?😉

ELON MUSK ON THE FERMI PARADOX: UNMASKING THE VAST TIMESCALE OF THE UNIVERSE "If we send probes out there, we might find the remains of long-dead alien civilizations. If physics is correct, the universe is about 13.8 billion years old. Earth is about 4 and 1 billion years old. But at 13.8 billion years, a civilization that even lasted a million years is three digits past the decimal point. And if you consider human civilization, I dated from the first writing. So that first writing was the ancient Sumerians' archaic pre-cuneiform around 5,500 years ago. So that is one millionth of Earth's lifespan. That's how long writing has existed. If we would last as a civilization for million years, that would be incredible. And we would actually probably be in every part of the galaxy." Elon Musk’s take cuts straight through cosmic time, revealing just how brief our moment is and how much bigger our potential could be. His ability to link Earth’s story to the wider galaxy shows a rare clarity, not just in science but in vision. It pushes us to think about the survival of our civilization with urgency and wonder, blending precision with a bold call to look beyond our small slice of the universe.

Not all of our Muslim neighbors are violent. Not at all. The vast majority of Muslims that we meet will not be violent. We can befriend them and love them. We can share the gospel with them and see the image of God in them, just as much in them as it is in us and our children. At the same time, we must be completely clear-eyed about the contradiction between the American way of life and the ideology of political Islam. We must do that. I think we are obligated to do that.

PROF. BRIAN COX: THE UNIVERSE MAY BE INFINITE "There are roughly 2 trillion galaxies - we haven't counted them all, but that's an estimate based on surveys of the local universe. The Milky Way has 400 billion stars in it, and it takes light over 100,000 years to cross a galaxy. And there are 2 trillion of them in the piece of the universe we can see, and we're very sure that the piece we can see is a small bit of what may be an infinite universe." Source: Space Talk

True when I said it, true today. “Canada is, and always has been, our country. And we want Canada to be a True North that is as strong and as free as it can be in every way that matters: the best country in the world. That’s why we’re here, that’s why we strive, that’s why we serve. Canada must reflect the true character of the Canadian people: honourable in our dealings, faithful to our commitments, loyal to our friends. By turns, a courageous warrior and a compassionate neighbour. It is our purpose that Canada must be great, it must be great for all Canadians, it must be a country of hope and an example to the world. And only when it is these things, when Canada is all that it can be, only then can we say that our work is done.”

Even if some people at the time wanted it that way, our responsibility today is to say: no. It is our history, but it is not who we should have been, and it is not who we should become. That is what liberation means. It means that, as Rwandans, we freed ourselves. You live for what you truly believe in, to the point where, if necessary, you are ready to die for it.
