  In light of current events in Ukraine, Fake News and verifying information is once again a big news story itself. First, Ben looks at how information is recorded, transmitted and received by people as a physical process. Then he examines the various motives behind the information that is presented to us, before making a general conclusion about how we can check facts ourselves using common sense.
