Brian (Cox ;) is a TV personality to the vast majority of people outside of the scientific community (and some inside)

Yikes, that did strange things to my skin! Only on PF!

Brian Cox went to our government fairly recently over concerns w.r.t. science research funding cuts. Jon Butterworth, Chris Lintott and Becky Smethurst were also in the group. So Prof Cox gets the thumbs up from me to fight for UK science research.

I have some catching up to do!

Nice mural of Geoff Hurst here too.

@berkeman Not as interesting. This was a surprise. The film "Yanks," 1979, was filmed in parts of greater Manchester. Ashton commemorate the shoot every couple of years.

It was a religious march, I had not heard of it before. I have a few flag ones but they are not as picturesque as the horses!

Not something you see every day on Oxford Rd, Manchester.

The storm trooper made me laugh. That would have made for a different film!

Rock club in Hull that doubled as a gym and boxing ring. They use the gym space at the back of the club for music now. Stage.

Still too soon.

Yeah, what a sad story. Cantor shook up the idea of infinity from what I have read (lay person perspective) and the mathematics community said some negative stuff about his work at the time. Hilbert supported him at least. We discussed (you explained rather) the "set of all sets" issue...

The last active thread in each SF is now visible which was going to be my gripe. I like the new style, shake things up! As long as all the bits and pieces work just as well then it's all good.

Leopold Kronecker? He hated Cantor's ideas

I am extremely disappointed, frustrated and deflated, I was just starting to believe. I need a break from football for a bit.
