If you didn’t come to our meeting on 9th July, you didn’t miss much. We were going to watch a video of a lecture by physicist Lawrence Krauss, about how everything comes from nothing, but unfortunately Denis’s laptop ate it. Instead, he found a video about Charles Darwin’s life story. Later, I was surprised to hear someone say that he hadn’t realised what Darwin had done, apart from his trip on the Beagle and its consequences. So, as compensation for those who didn’t see the Krauss video, and to inform those who didn’t know about Darwin’s interest in all sorts of things here in England, including barnacles and pigeons, as well as the things he saw on the Galapagos Islands, here’s one of Krauss’s lectures and a link to a site that’ll tell you all about Darwin. OK? Don’t thank me now…
