"Pigafetta is writing that Magellan had a map indicating the straight. Whether this map was actually created by Martin of Bohemia is unclear, but what would have been the source? Was it possible that someone like Niccolò de’ Conti (1395-1469) had acquired this knowledge during his voyages through Asia?"

Antonio Pigafetta Relates His Voyage Around the World with Ferdinand Magellan and Juan Sebastián Elcano
On September 6th, 1522, just over 500 years ago, a ship called the Victoria, with 18 sailors aboard, captained by the Basque sailor Juan Sebastián Elcano (1476-1526), entered Sanlúcar de Barrameda, at the mouth of the Guadalquivir river in Spain; two days…

At some point Albert Einstein became an outright celebrity. Today we all unthinkingly accept his fame as normal, rather than an interesting aberration.
"And here’s the kicker. That crowd on the pier? The thousands of people cheering Einstein’s arrival? It wasn’t even FOR him.
"Einstein’s first trip to the United States was with an envoy of Zionists promoting their cause in America. The enthusiastic crowd was comprised of Jews who turned up to show their support for the (at the time) obscure Zionist movement. The true star of that envoy – which was promoted in the Jewish media – was Chaim Weizmann, the leader of the international Zionist Organisation. In articles leading up to the envoy’s arrival, Einstein barely rated a mention.
"But the American press, likely ignorant of Weizmann and his organisation, misattributed the crowd’s enthusiasm."

"Robert Pearlman has the story behind the patch at Collect Space, which came about because of the wishes of the crew. During the initial Mercury missions, the pilots were able to name their spacecraft—Freedom 7, Liberty Bell 7, and so on. Cooper had named his Mercury spacecraft 'Faith 7.' But an increasingly buttoned-up NASA ended this practice for the Gemini missions, and when Cooper and Conrad were assigned to the third Gemini flight they considered alternatives."

"The banning of a mathematics textbook is a rare occurrence, something that had not occurred since the seventeenth century. Hence, it is an extreme means to settle the science. More efficient is to make sure that the results of carefully organized observations of natural phenomena or experiments in laboratories never reach the eyes or ears of the majority of the scientific community, let alone the general public, long before anyone gets around to writing scientific textbooks.
"In this post, I will examine a few examples of important observations or experiments that were shut down—or at least there was an attempt to do so—by the authorities of the time. The first example, dating to the 17th century, is well known. The other four, from the 20th century, are far less so."

There is a reason why Trump has been wanting to buy Greenland since his first administration.
It's all part of his trade war with China.
China used a company called Greenland Minerals to get their hands on valuable minerals in the country.
Chinese company, Shenghe Resources Holdings, is the largest stakeholder in Greenland Minerals. So they have been essentially mining and moving their way into Greenland for years now.
China is essentially processing rare earth concentrates that contains the radioactive elements uranium and thorium.
So this isn't just for some meme that Trump is doing this.
The land has strategic value.
Around the exact same time that Trump first brought buying Greenland to the forefront, he told reporters that he was the "chosen one" to win the trade wars with China.
Listen to him closely in this last clip:
"Over the last five years, China has made 500 billion dollars. Ripped it out of the United States. Somebody had to do it. I am the chosen one. So I'm taking on China on trade. And you know what? We are winning. We are the piggy back, we are the ones that all these countries wants to rob and take advantage of. I was put here by people to do a great job and that's what I am doing."
