Boris Johnson will soon be back full time as Prime Minister, we are told. How long will it be before Downing Street get him to do what he does best – a stunt? Maybe driving a bulldozer through a polystyrene wall with a slogan “Get Covid Gone.” Sadly, the JCB factory where Johnson performed that General Election stunt has its workers on furlough. Johnson’s shortcomings as a leader are, of course, no joke.

Young adults between the ages of 16 and 24 were found to be the loneliest group in the UK in a recent BBC survey. The survey also found that 41 percent of people think loneliness can be positive, people who feel lonely have average social skills, and those who often feel lonely have higher levels of empathy than others.

Michael Francis Atiyah, an 89-year-old British mathematician claims (Motherboard) that he has solved the Riemann hypothesis – a problem that has baffled thinkers for 160 years. His claimed proof will likely take days or possibly months to check by other experts. The Riemann hypothesis concerns the average distribution of prime numbers. Prime numbers are natural numbers (0, 1, 2, 3…) greater than 1 and which cannot be formed by multiplying two smaller natural numbers.
