Barge Haulers on the Volga
Ilya Repin
(1870-1873)

Barge Haulers on the Volga is a portrait, where great Russian artist thinks about work. This portrait raises the question in the people head: who actually does the job? There are many aspects in this portrait, and one of them is, who actually does everything in the state? Who goes to war in if the ruler of the state would want to go to the war?

In the real life is always people, who get more about their jobs than others in that group. The role of the suffering is always reserved to workers, who don’t, of course, have any education. This portrait might inspire Karl Marx or Friedrich Engels in the Surplus Value Theory, what has transformed in the hands of sociologists to the theory, what has the same name, but different content and message to the people.

In sociology, The Surplus Value Theory means that some workers don’t do anything in their workplace, and the leaders of the state would see different things in the same thing than other people. When high-class aristocrat told other people about the barge-haulers, they meant the people, who owned those vessels. When the owners of those vessels told about those barge haulers, they meant the captains of those vessels.

They didn’t mean the men who pulled the vessels. And this is the very good thing to think even in the modern working life. If we were captains of that vessel, we would do that job even 12 hours per day, but those men who pull this thing would not stand that long. In this picture is a message that even if the persons have the same salary for this work, then another person would get more than others. The superiority official makes light and easy days, but the people who pull this thing has very hard work to do.

In this picture is the good message about the work of the boss. This person might put all work to his henchmen, and then he must not do anything. If the person doesn’t do single work during his workday, this might make those days boring. And that kind of place is actually very light for those persons, who could do even 16 hours working day in their offices. So this is the message of this famous portrait, what is a very good example of the Russian realism from 19th. century.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to form the blue giant or too small it can collapse straight into a black hole . If the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts. The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists model of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the interstellar nebula falls it can form

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang.

And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

"New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later".
