Hermann Bondi

Hermann Bondi was a renowned astronomer and cosmologist, known for his research in the field of cosmology. Born on November 1, 1919, in Germany, he later became a British citizen. His work focused on stellar evolution, black hole theory, and cosmology. Bondi is recognized for his contributions to the understanding of stellar evolution, particularly his theory on the energy production of stars through nuclear fusion. He also made significant contributions to black hole theory, introducing the concept of Bondi accretion, which describes the process of matter approaching a black hole. In cosmology, Bondi, along with Thomas Gold, proposed the Bondi-Gold theory, predicting the existence of dark matter in the universe. His work has had a profound impact on the development of modern cosmology. more

“We never really see time. We see only clocks. If you say this object moves, what you really mean is that this object is here when the hand of your clock is here, and so on. We say we measure time with clocks, but we see only the hands of the clocks, not time itself. And the hands of a clock are a physical variable like any other. So in a sense we cheat because what we really observe are physical variables as a function of other physical variables, but we represent that as if everything is evolving in time.”

Consumers have sent companies a clear signal that they do not want their purchasing habits to drive deforestation and companies are responding. Better still, companies are committing to working in partnership with suppliers, governments and NGOs to strengthen forest governance and economic incentives. It can be done and this Declaration signals a real intention to accelerate action.”

“Mondelez International is a proud signatory to the New York Declaration on Forests, an important step to unite governments, NGOs and business to slow and then end forest loss. We can't act alone to halt deforestation or climate change, so we call on everyone to play a role. While it won't be easy, I believe this agenda is achievable if we link it directly to business goals.”
