Brian May PhD, all around good guy, savior of badgers!
And the only guy I am aware of to make a hit song based on relativistic time dilation.

For some reason badgers don’t cause TB in Ireland so I’m rather suspicious of them doing so in the UK.
And the cow industries here get to write their own laws so I have no idea what’s going on with the culling in the UK.

'39 is proof that Brian May would have been a great lead singer in any band that didn’t have Freddie Mercury in it.

I’ve been a fan of Brian and follow all his work for forever.
We saw him and his family wandering around Niagara Falls a bunch of years ago. He’s just a regular rock god kind of guy.
He also has a hedgehog rescue on his estate in England.
Here’s a great Brian hedgehog story that will get you in the feels.
I saw 39 mentioned above, here’s a great version he did outside the Tenerife Observatory a couple years ago.
And while we’re on the subject of Brian, if you’ve never heard it, seek out his Back To The Light solo album, good stuff.

It’s a subgenre in opera.

TIL
I haven’t heard it since I was a kid and then I couldn’t quite make it fit but I just saw it as a kind of Children of Lir story (when you come back decades have passed. Only fairies, not relativity).

I mean I don’t know but it’s the Torygraph so not a credible source of information on science.
It’s not just that it is a front for money, it’s that it really is the Daily Mail for posh people when it comes to sciencey bullshit.

… industrial farming is a literal shitshow?
Badgers!
Around here it’s supposedly the sea lions’ fault that there are no fish left in the ocean
The fishing industry is terribly concerned about those evil sea lions

If only one guitarist could be said to have a signature sound, it would be Brian May. One strum of a note, and you’d know it was him.
