Summary
Ohio veterans express their discontent with Senator Sherrod Brown, accusing him of prioritizing taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal immigrants over the healthcare needs of veterans. They argue that Brown has failed to uphold his promises to those who served in the military, particularly in relation to Veterans Affairs healthcare.
The veterans' concerns highlight a broader debate about immigration policy and the allocation of public resources. They assert that while they fought for their benefits, Brown's actions suggest he is fighting for the interests of undocumented individuals instead. This sentiment reflects a growing frustration among some veterans regarding perceived inequities in the distribution of government support.

In the last few years, astronomers have witnessed a growing problem emerge. As measurement precision has increased, the hope was that this problem would abate, but instead it has only exacerbated. Welcome to "The Crisis in Cosmology". But what exactly is the fuss all about, and how much should be believe the sensationalism?Written and presented by Prof David Kipping, edited by Jorge Casas.→ Support our research program: https://www.coolworldslab.com/support→ Get Stash here! https://teespring.com/stores/cool-worlds-storeTHANK-YOU to our supporters D.

Breakthrough Starshot plans to accelerate a gram-mass spacecraft up to one-fifth the speed of light to reach nearby stars in our lifetimes. In a recent video (https://youtu.be/Ksb6Vh0BT_E), I discussed some work I'd taken on calculating how the speed of the spacecraft (a light sail) changes as one shines an intense laser beam on it. It turns out my equations differ with the predictions of the Breakthrough team, and indeed just about everyone whose worked on this problem all the way to Einstein himself, who treated it as an example calculation for relativity. Remarkably, there does appear to be a small mistake in this example calculation (but not relativity itself) and in this video I explain how I came across it, why I'm convinced it's right and the nature of serendipitous discovery.::More about this Video::► The paper (now accepted for publication) is available here- David Kipping (2017), "Relativistic Light Sails": https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.04310► Asst Prof David Kipping homepage: www.davidkipping.com► Philip Lubin (2016), "A Roadmap to Interstellar Flight": https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.01356► Kulkarni, Lubin & Zhang (2016), "Relativistic solutions to directed energy": http://proceedings.spiedigitallibrary.org/proceeding.aspx?articleid=2555764► Arthur Compton (1923), "A Quantum Theory of the Scattering of X-rays by Light Elements": https://journals.aps.org/pr/abstract/10.1103/PhysRev.21.483► Albert Einstein (1905), "Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper": http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/andp.19053221004/abstract► Breakthrough Initiatives website: https://breakthroughinitiatives.org► Cool Worlds Lab website: http://coolworlds.astro.columbia.edu► Columbia University Department of Astronomy: http://www.astro.columbia.edu► Background music by MelodySheep "Secrets of the Stars": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuxFXHircaI::Playlists For Channel::Latest Cool Worlds Videos ► http://bit.ly/NewCoolWorldsCool Worlds Research ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsResearchGuest Videos ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsGuestsQ&A Videos ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsQAScience of TV/Film ► http://bit.ly/ScienceMovies::Follow us::SUBSCRIBE to the channel http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsSubscribeCool Worlds Lab http://coolworlds.astro.columbia.eduTwitter https://twitter.com/david_kippingInstagram https://www.instagram.com/cool.worldsTHANKS FOR WATCHING!! ヅ Learn more about your ad choices.

We caught up with Prof Sean Carroll at a recent astronomy conference and got his thoughts about time. Time may seem like a fundamental property of the Universe, but actually there's nothing in quantum theory which requires this to be so. Prof Carroll explains how time being merely an illusion, an emergent property rather than a fundamental one, is actually compatible with our best understanding of nature. This is one of two videos we shot with Sean so look out for the second video later in the year!::More about this Video::► Sean Carroll: "From Eternity to Here" book available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Eternity-Here-Quest-Ultimate-Theory/dp/0452296544► Sean Carroll's blog "Preposterous Universe" at https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/blog/► 229th Meeting of the American Astronomical Society: https://aas.org/meetings/aas229► Background music by Hans Zimmer, Interstellar OST::Playlists For Channel::Latest Cool Worlds Videos ► http://bit.ly/NewCoolWorldsCool Worlds Research ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsResearchGuest Videos ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsGuestsQ&A Videos ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsQAScience of TV/Film ► http://bit.ly/ScienceMovies::Follow us::SUBSCRIBE to the channel http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsSubscribeCool Worlds Lab http://coolworlds.astro.columbia.eduTwitter https://twitter.com/david_kippingInstagram https://www.instagram.com/cool.worldsTHANKS FOR WATCHING!!

Lithium demand has been increasing for years thanks to the lithium ion battery. Now, that demand looks set to explode as many nations set new targets for reducing their carbon emissions. Given this, we might well wonder - could we actually run out of the stuff? Join us today as we explore projections for our lithium use and what it all means for the future of our society.Written & presented by Prof David Kipping.
