Henry V arrowhead removal
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
1. The type of helmet Henry was wearing was a Sallet – a very popular piece of equipment for the period. It resembled to a great extent a Roman “Imperial” helmet of over 1000 years earlier

3. Bradmoor’s tool morphed into the bullet extractor, which was part of every military surgeons kit through the First World War.
4. I surprised that the video didn’t show Henry sedated. Medieval medicine knew of such things as opium

Nobel prize lecture in physics 2020 (no physical audience as things are now):

Sir Penrose is truly impressive, quick and clear like a teenager (like very few teenagers), at 89½ years of age. He’s just added experience. I’ve watched a dozen lectures and interviews about what he is awarded for. I even had a quick look at the math of some of it, which is impenetrable to me. So, I have no questions. Does anyone have any question?
Aeons…
Yes, he is a very personable and brilliant man, but he has not yet entered the computer age it seems. But man, give him a man or woman to help him translate his hand drawings made with felt-tip pens into computer-generated illustrations.
@Questioner
He does complain when he lectures at foreign universities, that they no longer have overhead projectors (obviously universities that are not Nobel prize certified anymore). And that they are too cumbersome to bring with the luggage on the aeroplane. I think it’s charming. His hand drawings are artwork that will sell on future auctions. That will never happen with a powerpoint slide show file.
He has fooled computers with Penrose Chess Puzzles. Although I think that good software has evolved to figure it out now. Still without any understanding, which is his point. Understanding is not computation. Very important to realize in these days of machine learning imitating human behavior, causing some to wrongly believe that they are or could become “intelligent”.
That, my friends, is a professional. I have to admit, when I was watching this, I was thinking, ‘If you think it hurts now, wait ’till the wound is rinsed with alcohol. And according to the Wikipedia article, is what happened. Oy Yi Yi.

That was amazing! I couldn’t stop watching it. My favorite part was right at the end when the narrator said, .. and they all gave thanks to God. Amen!!
