ROME โ€“ Pope Francis urged governments on Monday to use the coronavirus crisis as a revolutionary opportunity to create a world that is more economically and environmentally just -- and where basic health care is guaranteed for all. Francis made the appeal in his annual foreign policy address to ambassadors accredited to the Holy See, an appointment that was postponed for two weeks after he suffered a bout of sciatica nerve pain that made standing and walking difficult. Francis urged the governments represented in the Apostolic Palace to contribute to global initiatives to provide vaccines to the poor and to use the pandemic to reset what he said was a sick economic model that exploits the poor and the Earth. Pope Francis delivers his blessing from his studio window overlooking St. Peter's Square, at the Vatican, Sunday, Feb. 7, 2021.


The Fourth Copernican Revolution - Issue 64: The Unseen

The sun formed 4.5 billion years ago, but it's got around 6 billion years more before its fuel runs out. It will then flare up, engulfing the inner planets. And the expanding universe will continue--perhaps forever--destined to become ever colder, ever emptier. To quote Woody Allen, eternity is very long, especially toward the end. Any creatures witnessing the sun's demise won't be human--they'll be as different from us as we are from a bug.
