[United Nations @UN]

Gaza: Overwhelmed medical staff continue working to save airstrike victims, including those injured in attacks near refugee camps, says @WHO.

@UNHumanRights expresses deep concern at ongoing bombing, which reportedly killed 100 people in recent days. https://t.co/hm1tQf1Q40

James C. Maxwell formulated the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation and brought together for the first time, electricity, magnetism and light as different manifestations of the same phenomena.

1) ∇.D = ρ
2) ∇.B = 0
3) ∇xE = -∂B/∂t
4) ∇xH = J +∂D/∂t

In a surprise move, Alibaba abandons its $15 billion quantum computing project. The decision comes amidst U.S. semiconductor restrictions and internal reorganization efforts. What's next for Alibaba's tech ventures? https://t.co/BXytF4wP83 #QuantumComputing #HPC

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The way forward is clear:

Humanitarian ceasefire.
Respect for int'l humanitarian law.

Unconditional release of hostages.

Protection of civilians, hospitals, UN facilities, shelters & schools.

Ending use of civilians as human shields.
More humanitarian aid entering Gaza.

NOW.

I feel so sorry for anyone living their life in fear of harm to themselves or their loved ones. As Gandhi once said “an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind”. As I said before, innocence has no nationality, no agenda and no responsibility. I cannot sleep for thinking how many children are in fear for their lives tonight. It is our duty, as citizens of this world, to protect them. If this is about land, blame greedy oppressors. If this is about religion then remember that your God values all humans equally. If this is about history then learn and try to understand the viewpoint of your enemy. If this is about pain and loss then empathise don’t condemn. Whatever is needed to end this please do it. Just stop killing children and stop hurting people. Human beings all bleed the same.

“The level of destruction is unprecedented.

The human tragedy unfolding under our watch is unbearable.”

– @UNRWA Commissioner-General says an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Middle East is a matter of life and death for millions of people. https://t.co/olvJY5MFXN

Dr. Carl Sagan teaches about our place in the Universe ✍️

The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home. In a cosmic perspective, most human concerns seem insignificant, even petty.

And yet our species is young and curious and brave and shows much promise. In the last few millennia we have made the most astonishing and unexpected discoveries about the Cosmos and our place within it, explorations that are exhilarating to consider. They remind us that humans have evolved to wonder, that understanding is a joy, that knowledge is prerequisite to survival.

I believe our future depends powerfully on how well we understand this Cosmos in which we float like a mote of dust in the morning sky.

-- as mentioned in Cosmos (1980)

@ShashiTharoor Disaster! Can nothing be done? My special dining room for over 20 years, starting as a physics undergraduate at King's College London, next door. A unique, simple and honest place to meet with the best of friends to discuss life and the universe over Indian food and a beer. :(

[The Associated Press @AP]

Countries are scrambling to secure rice after a partial ban on exports by India cut global supplies by roughly a fifth. Food security is already under threat since Russia halted a grain export agreement with Ukraine, and El Nino hampers rice production. https://t.co/hBP9kGaDB2

Another poetically poor experience leaving London to Brussels on the @EurostarUK. Cascading bins, passenger strewn floors, a passport control machine not working here and there. Impressively consistent with Brussels and Paris, so no one feels left out.
