Brian Cox and Lee Cronin have really caught my attention lately. Have you learned about Lee’s paper on assembly theory? Amazing imo.

and now Cox has shifted his focus to black holes which 10x my interest and learning
Yes I listen to Brian Cox every now and then. He is good, maybe it’s the British accent that just works. Also finished his book ‘Human Universe’ around spring last year. He’s always a bit pessimistic about the possibilities of intelligent life on other planets which I find odd.

About Lee Cronin, since you tagged me it kinda stayed half on my radar. I remember one good podcast with Lex Fridman when the theory was still relatively new, if I remember correctly he got emotional there after all the pushback he received. Can’t say I know all the ins- and outs about the theory, if I’m not mistaken the pushback is mostly because he suggests that evolution follows a intelligent path along with a random path, where the first part goes against the general consensus regarding evolution.

Nice! I was just at the observatory in LA last weekend but the motor that opens the dome wasn’t working so we couldn’t see through the telescope
That’s sad man. This was my second time, first time was before the summer but there were too many clouds to see anything. You guys probably have even better telescopes, this one wasn’t even that big I think that I could afford it, sad that I live in a place with too much light pollution

It’s really a achievement if youre able to just recognise all the stars by name, damn what a talented guy yesterday. I should adopt him

They really are beautiful. Nice to see someplace that has things that aren't just soulless glass and steel. @Siamak

Thanks for this. Great post!
Iran has its own unique architecture, which is derived from ancient culture and history. Unfortunately in modern days people tend on adopting trendy life quickly, they desperately cling to the notion that they are related to western countries, Some Iranian architectures are disappearing and being replaced by new styles.

I had a complete physical test(pathology) last week. The results were sent via text message today.

Damn, son. I envy some of those numbers.

The acute hemolytic anemia I got from my leukemia just over a year ago put me in the hospital for 9 days because my hemoglobin was a 5.4 when I checked into the ER. My heart was practically leaping out of my chest to do all the normal work. My lymphocytes were off the charts and over 300.

But these amazing Portuguese docs got me on a killer program and got my lymphocytes under 25 within two weeks. But my hemoglobin still took a few months to recover and get over 12 again (it's now around 14.5-15).

Your cholesterol looks good too.

No A1Cs? Cuz I'm also a type I diabetic... I seem to collect autoimmune system issues: my immune system is so aggro, it roughs up the healthy parts of my organs at times.

I think you Europeans and in general westerns have better nutrition system, food diversity and of course better cooking oil due to access to the global market.

A doctor would definitely give you the best answer but just checking your results and comparing it to the reference levels looks good. You should definitely go out and get some sun as your Vitamin D3 is a bit low.
How about if i take Vitamin D3 Eurho Vital 1000 IU to compensate for that?
