Quantum gravity is the holy grail for modern theoretical physicists – a single structure that brings together the two great theories of the 20th century: quantum mechanics and general relativity. One widely-known solution is string theory, which emerged from particle physics. In this talk, Jim Baggott will describe the other approach known as Loop Quantum Gravity. This theory starts from general relativity, borrows many ideas and techniques from quantum mechanics, and predicts that space itself is quantum in nature.

Jim Baggott is an award-winning science writer. He trained as a scientist, completing a doctorate in chemical physics at the University of Oxford in the early 80s, before embarking on post-doctoral research studies at Oxford and at Stanford University in California.

This talk was filmed at the Ri on 12 February 2019.

After taking you on a journey through geologic time, we've arrived at the Cenozoic Era. Most of the mammals and birds that you can think of appeared during this era but perhaps more importantly, the Cenozoic marks the rise of organisms that look a lot like us.

Malcolm X His Transformations and a introduction to Malcolm through reviewing some of the critical scholarship on Malcolm X.

DR. ASA HILLIARD, III The former Fuller E. Callaway Professor of Urban Education has said the following about Dr. Oba T'Shaka's book The Political Legacy of Malcolm X "Oba T'Shaka has written a book which dwarfs all other writings on Malcolm X. Both Alex Haley and George Breitman suggest that Malcolm made fundamental changes in his position toward the end. It is T'Shaka's contention, and it is this contention that his work documents, that the substance of Malcolm's thought did not change, even though the form may have changed. A careful reading of T'Shaka's book will show that he has eclipsed both of these writers, one of whom has an international reputation."

Dr. Nathan Hare, Clinical Psychologist, Sociologist and Innovator of the Discipline of Black Studies, said ot Dr. Oba T'Shaka's book The Political Legacy of Malcolm X: "For Oba T'Shaka's good work in the organization and uplift of African and African American peoples, he has achieved both national and international eminence. Had I not already regarded Oba T'Shaka as one of the key social philosophers in the Afro-American race today, a reading of this manuscript on the life and death of Malcolm X would have been instructive to me. Its careful even meticulous scholarship is reminiscent of W.E.B. Dubois', The Philadelphia Negro."

Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, noted author, scholar and public intellectual in The New York Times Book Review section, reviewed all the major books on Malcolm X, and ranked The Political Legacy of Malcolm X number one In his review of Dr. T'Shaka's book he wrote: "The Political Legacy of Malcolm X is a clear exposition of Malcolm's political ideas as a revolutionary black nationalist."

West Papua is one of the longest running independence movements in international politics. It is also one of the least known. For almost sixty years, the native Melanesian community has fought for independence from Indonesia. However, while the West Papua conflict is often thought of as a case of attempted secession, and is classed as such by most governments, it can also be thought of as a case of colonial self-determination.

Although West New Guinea had been a part of the Dutch East Indies, it did not form a part of Indonesia when it became independent, in 1949. Instead it remained under the Netherlands, which argued that the Melanesian roots of the population meant it should have a separate right to statehood. However, over the following decade, the Indonesian Government exerted ever more pressure to have the territory put under its sovereignty. In the end, the Dutch capitulated. In 1962, the New York Agreement saw the creation of a temporary UN administration (UNTEA) over West New Guinea, or West Irian as it was also known, before it was passed on to Indonesia. As part of this agreement, a referendum was meant to have been held in 1969 to decide on whether West Papua would remain part of Indonesia or become independent. However, the eventual vote - the so-called Act of Free Choice - was deeply flawed. Despite this, the outcome was endorsed by the UN General Assembly. Since then, and against the backdrop of serious human rights abuses, West Papuan independence movement has campaigned and fought for another referendum. Although most of the world still regards the territory as part of Indonesia, it does seem that support is potentially growing.
