Fantastic choice for the 200th Royal Institution Christmas Lectures! Channeling my inner child for this one-12 year old me would have been excited beyond belief for this… as indeed am middle aged me 🙂
The secret's out! 🚀 The 2025 Christmas Lectures, supported by @CGI_Global, will be presented by Dr Dame Maggie Aderin-Pocock, and will be about outer space and all the scientific wonders beyond planet Earth. We can't wait until December! Find out more: rigb.org/christmas-lectures

The Ri are sorry to hear of the passing of one of the great physics minds of our time Peter Higgs. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, colleagues and all those he influenced during his life and phenomenal career.

The good news is that degrowth is unnecessary. The world is *starting* to learn how to decouple economic growth 📈 from CO2 emissions 📉 Cc: @AlecStapp @paulg @garrytan @Noahpinion
This is what degrowth looks like in practice: a lower standard of living

I think it likely that I have made many mistakes in the preceeding pages, for even to myself, my ideas on this point appear only as the shadow of a speculation, or as one of those impressions on the mind which are allowable for a time as guides to thought and research. He who labours in experimental inquiries knows how numerous these are, and how often their apparent fitness and beauty vanish before the progress and development of real natural truth. -- MICHAEL FARADAY @Ri_Science
