Democraticamente è più facile credere nel populismo. La scienza non è democratica: un’ipotesi condivisa non la rende reale. Vale anche per il clima. La scienza opera con due semplici passi: identifica l’ignoranza e cerca di ridurla. Prendiamo la domanda cosmica: da dove veniamo?

@ellane Colours appear different depending on how computer monitors (and people's eyes!) are calibrated, so what you or your computer see as hex #415E77 (my website's banner colour) is not necessarily the same as how I or my computer see it.
#CharlesDarwin took a book of standard colours with him on the Beagle voyage to help him describe colours more consistently.

A posthumous knighthood for 73-year-old Martin Amis sets an interesting precedent. #CharlesDarwin was passed over for a knighthood to avoid controversy. He also died at 73. (But why lend kudos to a discredited honours system by fixing this?)
