“Gates’s favourite infographic,” he wrote, “takes the violence of colonisation and repackages it as a happy story of progress.”
The situation has not gotten better for most people.

Physicists Have Built a Machine That Actually Breaks Two Rules of Light
When you beam intense pulses of light into a thin circle, strange things will happen, according to new research based on the optical equivalent of a whispering gallery.
Inside tiny loops of transparent fibre, waves of light can be forced to break step and change the orientation of their wiggle in odd ways, bending the rules and potentially giving future engineers new tools for emerging optical technology.
Researchers from the UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh have watched light break its usual symmetrical patterns inside devices called optical ring resonators.
Caterpillar unveils an all-electric 26-ton excavator with a giant 300 kWh battery pack
Caterpillar, along with Pon Equipment, has unveiled an all-electric 26-ton excavator with a giant 300 kWh battery pack in an effort to electrify construction equipment.
They built a prototype in Gjelleråsen, Norway for construction company Veidekke who plan to use 8 of them.
The company expects that the machine will result in a better experience for its employee by reducing air and noise pollution at construction sites.
Life’s secret ingredient: A radical theory of what makes things alive
How does inanimate matter come to breathe, thrive and reproduce? Explaining this magic means overhauling nature’s laws, says physicist Paul Davies
By Paul Davies
THERE is something special – almost magical – about life. Biophysicist Max Delbrück expressed it eloquently: “The closer one looks at these performances of matter in living organisms, the more impressive the show becomes. The meanest living cell becomes a magic puzzle box full of elaborate and changing molecules.”
