A video about the successor to the Rolls Royce Merlin engine that was never put into production. To be honest I'd never heard of it before.It was called the Crecy.

Following on the "I love maths" series
Whenever an honest man discovers that he's mistaken, he will either cease to be mistaken or he will cease to be honest.

Same series has a simple description of Turing's answer to the same question that Gödel incompleteness theorem "solved".

My brain isn't wired for mathematics but I do work with some clever mathematics/celestial dynamics people though; a former colleague has just passed away aged 91 - his idea of a pastime in his retirement years was to calculate future eclipse dates using a pocket calculator.
Sorry, I couldn't resist!

Just been watching an ace mini race with people like Martin Brundle, Roman Dumas etc.

My father, every night before going to sleep, would ask my mother to give him a random 5 digit number.
He would then mentally determine the cube root, write it down and go to sleep, only checking his answer in the morning.

I am at loss for words to express how wonderful this video is - it has put a smile on my face under the most depressing of circumstances :
