Der Wiedergeborene – Zum 50. Todestag des Filmregisseurs Fritz Lang
Er musste zweimal sterben, um dreimal leben zu können, ehe der echte Tod ihn fand. In 46 Spielfilmen zwischen 1916 und 1960 fĂŒhrte Fritz Lang Regie, bei 17 davon war er am Drehbuch beteiligt, am Ende seiner Karriere drehte er noch einen Film â in einem anderen. Gestorben ist der KĂŒnstler einmal um 1931, als der Stummfilm durch den Tonfilm abgelöst wurde, und ein weiteres Mal um 1936, als er sich im Exil auf die Gesetze Hollywoods einlassen musste.

The âCrazyâ Plot to Release the Epstein Files
Khannaâs staff and consultants tried to talk him out of pursuing such legislation, explaining that it could make him look like a conspiracy theorist, instead of his desired image as a âserious economics guy.â But Khanna explained to his staff that the topic of Epstein kept coming up, especially when he appeared on podcasts or visited the more conservative parts of his district. He recalled a young man delivering a long rant at a recent town hall about how he didnât trust the government because it was âprotecting pedophilesâ by not releasing the Epstein files or holding more people accountable. In that moment, Khanna told me, he realized that standing up for Epsteinâs victimsâand against the wealthy or powerfulâwas a way to build trust.
The birth of the Web
On 30 April 1993, CERN put the World Wide Web software in the public domain. Later, CERN made a release available with an open licence, a more sure way to maximise its dissemination. These actions allowed the web to flourish.

NASAâs Voyager 1 set to become first human-made object to reach a full light-day distance from Earth in 2026
Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 has been cruising through space for nearly 47 years, traveling a mind-boggling distance of almost 16 billion miles from Earth. This journey has already broken recordsâit was the first spacecraft to cross the heliopause, the boundary where the Sunâs solar wind yields to interstellar space. Now, it is on course to reach a distance known as a light-day, meaning the distance that light travels in 24 hours.
Traveling at about 38,000 miles per hour, Voyager 1âs progress may seem slow compared to light speed, but it reveals the vast scales of cosmic distance. Radio signals sent from the spacecraft take nearly 23 hours to reach Earth, which offers a glimpse into the immense challenges of communicating across these astronomical expanses.

The Sumud Flotilla Has Succeeded in Making Israel a Pariah
The Global Sumud Flotilla seemingly breached Israelâs blockade of Gaza while provoking an Israeli response that triggered anger and reprisals from various governments. Itâs one of the most successful acts of civil disobedience in recent history.
UN / GA PALESTINE RESOLUTION
With 142 votes in favour, the General Assembly adopted a resolution endorsing the New York Declaration, which calls for the peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine and the implementation of the two-state solution.
General Assembly Takes Up Text Endorsing New York Declaration, Charting Path to Palestinian Statehood, Peace with Israel
Today, the General Assembly will vote on a draft resolution endorsing the New York Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the two-State solution. The Declaration, circulated at a high-level international conference held from 28 to 30 July, sets out an action-oriented pathway towards a peaceful settlement of the Israel-Palestine conflict and the realization of the two-State solution â the vision of an independent State of Palestine living side by side with the State of Israel in peace and security, based on the pre-1967 borders.

French-Saudi UN Initiative: Awakening The International Community â OpEd
(July 29, 2025)
Hamasâ savage October 2023 attack and Israelâs horrific war of retaliation have reignited the call for a two-state solution. I applaud the joint French-Saudi UN initiative in support of a two-state solution in the hope that it will awaken the international community and end this most destructive and most protracted conflict since World War II.

Adam Driver Praises Francis Ford Coppola For âNot Letting The Money Dictateâ âMegalopolisâ At AFI Life Achievement Tribute
(April 27, 2025)
Driver continued, âFrancis took $120 million and created a singular gesture for what he thought film could be, and I think thatâs pretty great. That kind of move has an aftershock that certainly will be felt in his films, will be felt throughout time, and is obviously felt in this room. So, I know you have complicated feelings about awarding Francis, but to echo what everyone else has been saying, you more than deserve this moment. Congratulation on all youâve achieved, and Iâm honored to be here to celebrate you, your generosity and your bravery.â
Now We Know Why You Will Probably Never Get to See One of the Most Misunderstood Movies Ever Made
One of the biggest benefits of not being beholden to a studio and funding a movie yourself, is that you have the final say in what happens to it.
Megalopolis was â even if Coppola would not call it one â a personal passion project that would have never been made if the legendary director had not funded it himself.
(—)
With an incredible cast, possibly one of the greatest assembled in the last 20 years, Megalopolis was the vision of Coppola without any outside interference or input.
If I must DIe – by Refaat Alareer
If I must die,
you must live to tell my story…
Uriah Heep – The Wizard …
aken from their 1972 album ‚Demons and Wizards‘.
(…)
He was the wizard of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him one night wandering
He told me tales and he drank my wine
Me and my magic man, kinda feelin‘ fine
He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire
And as he spoke, I felt a deep desire
To free the world of its fear and pain
And help the people to feel free again
Why don‘t we listen to the
Voices in our heart?
Cause then I know we‘d find
We‘re not so far apart
Everybody‘s got to be happy
Everyone should sing
For we know the joy of life
Peace and love can bring
So spoke the wizard
In his mountain home
The vision of his wisdom
Means we‘ll never be alone
And I will dream of my magic night
And the million silver stars
That guide me with their light
The Voyagers Are Still Exploring 40 Years Later
(Oct. 12, 2024)
From their unique vantage points â Voyager 1 in the northern hemisphere and Voyager 2 in the southern hemisphere â the spacecraft have already detected differences and asymmetries in the solar wind termination shock, where the wind abruptly slows as it approaches the heliopause. For example, Voyager 2 crossed the termination shock at a distance of about 83.7 AU in the southern hemisphere. (One AU, or astronomical unit, is equal to 150 (million) kilometers (93 million miles), the distance between Earth and the Sun.) Thatâs about 10 AU closer to the Sun than where Voyager 1 crossed the shock in the north. As shown in this diagram, Voyager 1 traveled through the compressed ânoseâ of the termination shock and Voyager 2 is expected to travel through the flank of the termination shock.
Voyager 1 Trajectory through the Solar System
628,218 views Aug 31, 2017
This visualization tracks the trajectory of the Voyager 1 spacecraft through the solar system. Launched on September 5, 1977, it was one of two spacecraft sent to visit the giant planets of the outer solar system. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn before being directed out of the solar system.
To fit the 40 year history of the mission into a short visualization, the pacing of time accelerates through most of the movie, starting at about 5 days per second at the beginning and speeding up to about 11 months per second after the planet flybys are past.
The termination shock and heliopause are the ‚boundaries‘ created when the plasma between the stars interacts with the plasma flowing outward from the Sun.
Our planet is in a space balloon, literally
(June 16, 2024)
But only two human-made objects have crossed the boundary of the solar system and entered interstellar space.
In 1977, NASA launched Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, equipped with tools to measure the magnetic fields and the particles it is directly passing through. After traveling for over three decades in space, they finally exited the outer layer of the heliosphereâheliopause in 2012 and 2018 respectively. They discovered that cosmic rays are about three times more intense outside the heliopause than deep inside the heliosphere.
