My new series The Infinite Explorer, coming in early November to National Geographic (in the UK and EU) and Bloomberg Originals (in the US) took me to all sorts of amazing locations – and I couldn’t resist stealing a moment while I was there to share this with you ***When I say “people” here, I mean British Victorians – who clearly thought they were the first ones to notice or “discover” anything of any importance. So when medieval structures that had been built around the Parthenon were removed in 1837, English architect John Pennethorne announced that he had ‘discovered’ that the base was curved. In fact, many of the peoples who followed the ancient Greeks were aware of the concept of optical refinement, and the Parthenon isn’t the only building to have been built that way. But the British of that time weren’t exactly known for giving any credit where credit was due… (And the people of THIS time aren’t exactly known for restraint or accuracy where claims of Golden Ratios are concerned…)
Fortunately, you can also suppress it with various anesthetics when undergoing surgery. Unfortunately, that isn’t really an option for combat pilots
Elephants, sadly in this case, never forget.

Fishy gravity. Episode 2 – We’re All Being Pulled Together
My new series the Infinite Explorer (coming soon on National Geographic in the UK/ EU and Bloomberg Originals in the US) took me to South Korea to see some amazing Taekwondo. I’m pretty confident that understanding the physics of how it works from the sidelines means I’m already well on my way to a black belt
There’s this brand that I’ve loved for years called The Fold. Back in 2023 I invested in a beautiful suit of theirs for my first awards ceremony (we won 🏆) and have worn it over and over again – at Wimbledon this year, at the races for a tv show, in the photoshoot for a very exciting new project coming up that I’m not allowed to tell you about yet. Anyway, point is, I’m a big believer in investing in beautiful, quality items that will stay with you for years. And then the lovely people at @thefoldlondon asked me to join some excellent kickass women as part of a new campaign they’re doing called The Network and so obviously I said yes. Here is the result. And yes, I absolutely 100% stole the coat and will be wearing it nonstop for the next several years thank you. #inthefold #ad
