The 100 best universities in the world excluding those of the US, exposed this graphic revealing

The listings are important. Well for Choose the most reliable car or to see Where can we give ourselves a feasthaving well -ordered options is a good starting point in our search. The same goes for universities and, in These dates after the Pauit is likely that many wonder which one is the best. In this graph prepared by Visual Capitalist We can see the top 100 of the best universities in the world if we do not take into account those of the United States. Eeuu queen, but collapses. The list of the best universities has been prepared thanks to the data and scores of the ranking of Times Higher Educationbut something interesting is that the United States is left out for a very specific reason: although it represents almost a third of the best 100 universities in the world, in recent months Cases of permits rejection are being given due to the changing immigration policy of the country. According to data Of the Association of International Educators, or Nafsa, the interest in studying in the United States by postgraduate students from other countries collapsed in more than 40% after the arrival of Donald Trump to his second term. That after 6.6% increases in 2023 and 11.5% in 2024. Because of that, the graphic excludes American universitiescountry that still has Mit, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Caltech, Berkeley and Yale within the world top 10. United Kingdom: proper name. There are three free positions within those first ten, and the United Kingdom is the protagonist. The best in the world, according to this data, is the Oxford University. His eternal rival, Cambridgeoccupies the fifth place and closes the top 10 the Imperial College of London. The latter does not have as much name as the previous two and is much younger (open in 1907, when the other two are from the eleventh and thirteenth century respectively), but has managed to sneak among the best of the best. If we exclude the United States again, the United Kingdom stands out with 12 universities in the list. Europe, culture focus. If the United States is the one that has the most universities in the top 100 and the United Kingdom that has the best university in the world, as region, it is Europe that carries the singing voice. 36 of the 100 best non -American universities are found in Europe thanks to programs and policies Focused to scientific excellence and research. This list tells us about how Europe is not only an academy, but also a Important research pointwith Germany to the front with eight centers and other countries such as France (4 centers), Sweden (3) and the Netherlands (1) being outstanding names. In this list, Spain, Italy or Portugal are out of Top 100. In fact, according to the list, the only Spanish universities within the Top 200 are the University of Barcelona (position 149), the Pompeu Fabra (176) and the Autonomous University of Barcelona (199). Italy strain three others (Bologna (146), Scuola Normale Superior Di Pisa (154) and Sapienza University of Rome (185). China advances with speed. Leaving Europe, another important name is that of China. In recent years, Chinese universities have acquired greater importance in the international scenario due to an exhibition greater to their studies, to research and innovation. The country has seven universities in the list, two of them (the Tsinghua and Beijing) They are within the 20 most important, and is the third country with the most renowned universities at the moment after the US and the United Kingdom. AND It is not a coincidence: The Chinese government has invested more than 23,000 million dollars since 2016 for infrastructure and research equipment improvements and have started To apply policies to attract international students, with programs in English and certain advantages. And also talent. Notable absences. Outside these three regions, we have Japan, Canada, Singapore or Australia as examples of countries that also have universities in this list of the best 100. And, beyond countries such as Spain, Portugal, Greece or Italy without universities in this top, we also see a lack of Latin American and African universities. Rejection of listings. And, although lists of this type can be very useful when finding the university that best suits your educational or research needs and can give prestige to those that are above the list, it is also possible that those same universities reject being there. An example is that of the Harvard School of Medicine, which a few years ago said “no” to one of these lists. Specifically, the index of the medical schools of US News & World Report. Reasons? Question the methodology used to create these indexes. But from the index they responded to Harvard stating that, with increasingly faces, students deserve to have access to all data and information to make a decision. Beyond all that, it is curious to know which countries that accumulate that educational and research wealth and know that it is not something that is achieved overnight, needing, as we see in the case of China, that the government impulse is key to improving the university offer.

This man is the first person who flies to space without revealing his identity. They haven’t taken to find out who it is

Six people traveled yesterday to the Blue Origin suborbital rocket. One was Jesús Callejathe first television presenter that crosses the line of Kárman as part of the filming of a documentary. In the same ship another five people flew. Four of them, millionaire businessmen and executives who had paid for the flight. The sixth crewman was an anonymous person. Was An anonymous person because on the Internet there are difficult secrets to maintain. Context. They are already going 52 people That they fly to the space with Blue Origin since Jeff Bezos, the owner of the company, premiered the small New Shepard rocket with his brother Mark, the aviator Wally Funk and the young Oliver Daemen (the oldest woman, with 82 years, and the youngest man, with 18, in crossing the border of the space). Taking into account that just 719 people have traveled beyond the 100 kilometers of altitude, Blue Origin’s space tourists begin to be a multitude in the select club of people who have gone to space. With its flights for millionaires of just 10 minutes, the New Shepard rocket has a growing record of records: the oldest man (William Shatner), the first Mexican (Katya Echazarreta), the first Portuguese (Mário Ferreira), etc. What they had not had until now was an anonymous passenger. The first suborbinaut without name. Of the 719 people who have flown to space so far, none had done without revealing their name. The astrophysician Jonathan McDowell knows it well, who maintains a database of all space flights in historystarting with Yuri Gagarin on April 12, 1961, and Alan Shepard, on a suborbital flight, 23 days later. When McDowell went to update his database with the crew of the NS-30 mission of Blue Origin, he decided not to settle for the unknown of the sixth traveler (the first stain of the history) and asked his followers (in a tweet now erased) if they could find out who he was. Most of the answers reproached McDowell having used their influence to try to expose a person who wanted to remain anonymous. Others They wondered If it could be the camera of Jesús Calleja (but why hide his identity, then?). Until, finally, one of McDowell’s followers found who he was. R. Wilson. Blue Origin had diligently complied with his client’s desire. The mysterious traveler He went out to face discovered In the official photos and videos of the mission, but on the web, on social networks, in the press releases, in the retransmission of the launch, Blue Origin only mentioned the first five passengers with name and surname, adding: “and a sixth crewman whose name has not been revealed.” What did not help the man to preserve his identity was to have his initial and his last name embroidered in the space suit: R. Wilson. However common the last name Wilson was enough to French YouTuber Ufotinik He will find his full name and news about him on the Internet. An Australian cryptocurrency. Jesús Calleja mentioned in an interview that an Australian friend had done on the mission. Perhaps he refers to Russell Wilson, founder of the Coinspot cryptocurrency exchange platform, based in a modest Melbourne building. According to a report of 2023 of the Daily MailWilson leads a discreet life in the city’s suburbs, although he has paid 538 million dollars in dividends. The report includes a photo of the businessman, who already maintained a low profile and avoided public attention, delegating media appearances in his executives while led the company from anonymity and following strict security protocols. He failed to maintain anonymity then, nor has he achieved it on his trip to space. But McDowell’s efforts for not letting an entry into its database only reinforce the initial idea of ​​this article: space tourists are beginning to be a crowd in the select club of people who have gone to space, so we will see more and more eccentricities above the karm line. After all, career astronauts, those of space agencies, are officials chosen and formed to the extreme for a single thing: act according to the protocols and be predictable in any situation.
