It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.

"Qué retorcidos somos. Qué simples parecemos, o al menos pretendemos estar frente a otros, y cuán retorcidos estamos en el fondo. Qué insignificantes somos y cuán espectacularmente nos contorsionamos ante nuestros propios ojos y los ojos de los demás".

I am sad. Shocked. To jump on my keyboard right after David Wilcock's tragic and unexpected death felt wrong.

We first met around 2005/2006; over the years, we presented at many of the same UFO conferences like Conscious Life Expo and Contact in the Desert where we'd run into each other from to time. He was a fun guy. Intensely quick. David was always pleasant, engaging, and kind to me, always with a beaming smile and a twinkle in his eyes.

I vividly remember a couple of Ancient Aliens filming sessions around 2010 we had on the same days; I enjoyed watching his interviews tremendously.

The few times we had the chance of breaking bread together, I remember good laughs and wonderful conversations. My friends David Childress and William Henry, Robert Dean, were all there, too.

Another walking encyclopedia is gone, again way too soon.

Go have fun exploring the mysteries of the Universe, David! We shall continue to do the same from here on Earth. God speed.

My love and condolences to David's family and loved ones.

Be kind to each other out there. Always.

Tras la muerte de Carl Sagan en 1996, su viuda Ann Druyan era preguntada a menudo por el ateísmo de su marido y si antes de su fallecimiento había asumido alguna creencia religiosa. Esta fue su respuesta:

♟ Dana Reizniece: Treat chess as part of an education policy, not an extracurricular activity

At the Chess in Education Summit in San José, Dana Reizniece, Deputy Chair of the FIDE Management Board, spoke about how campaigners should approach policy makers to get chess included in educational programmes.

Drawing on her own experience in politics and government (she served as the finance minister of Latvia from 2014 to 2016), Reizniece said advocates need to speak to policymakers in the language of public policy they are tasked with delivering.

“When you approach politicians, you need to talk about what they want to listen to. You need to tap into their problems and provide solutions for that. For example, if you want more children to play chess and bring more medals for the country, you should talk to the minister of sports, not education. If you want to improve chess education, then the minister of education is the right address”.

♟🇨🇷 How Costa Rica plans to bring chess into the classroom

At the Chess and Education Summit in San Jose – taking place on 20 and 21 March – Costa Rican officials, educators and chess leaders set out a practical question: how can chess move from being respected as a game to being used as a classroom tool across the public school system?

The two-day event, held at the historic Costa Rica Tennis Club, forms part of FIDE’s Year of Chess in Education 2026 and brings together national authorities and regional partners around a pilot programme that is due to begin in ten Costa Rican schools as early as April 2026. Educational councilors from all 27 regions of Costa Rica attended to understand how chess can help in their local schools.

The scientist has a lot of experience with ignorance and doubt and uncertainty, and this experience is of very great importance, I think.

When a scientist doesn't know the answer to a problem, he is ignorant. When he has a hunch as to what the result is, he is uncertain. And when he is pretty darn sure of what the result is going to be, he is in some doubt. We have found it of paramount importance that in order to progress we must recognize our ignorance and leave room for doubt. Scientific knowledge is a body of statements of varying degrees of certainty — some most unsure, some nearly sure, but none absolutely certain.

@nayibbukele En HND sólo saben decir que usted logró combatir el crimen sólo porque es relativamente pequeño en superficie. Bajo esa lógica, los países más grandes del mundo tendrían altas tasas de criminalidad. Pero la realidad es que en SV se evitó que el crimen permeara las instituciones.
