Influence of the medieval period and the world of that time

In popular culture, we normally see medieval period violent and dangerous time. The term "Dark medieval period" might create by the Protestants, who wanted to destroy Catholic church. And in this light, we must understand that Protestants wanted to increase the Catholic church role as the instrument of power. This instrument was used to destroy the enemies of kings. And in this way of view, this era was the very pressing era, and the burning many persons who wanted to reform that organization gave it very dark reputation. That organization persecuted everybody who wrote anything that was not same opinions, as an officially accepted theological writing involved.


If there would be any conflict with Catholic church and writer, the last one would find himself at the top of the pyre. The women went straight to death because they could be prosecuted by the husband. Only men had rights in that time. The role of women, as they must be quiet, and their husband was talking in the public situation.  This is one way to look that period. The medieval period is quite different than we might expect, and of course, every criminal was not burned on the pyre. At that time were basically the same kind of criminal prosecution and punishment system than today. There was some kind of punishments like today, and the fine, prison and death penalties were used at that time. When we are talking about the inquisition, Dominican monks investigation system, the first punishments for prosecuted people were light.


The most common punishments were tickets, and the reason for this punishment was that was meant for cause hate against that person. This conviction was about the bullseye of the God. This was common version because somebody wrote the things, what were embarrassed for the Catholic church like the position of women and children. But when this person went back to home and tried to pay the price, there would not be any money. They were all taken, and then inquisition claimed that this person was cheapened the justice. And the reason for that must find out. That caused torture and death because the denying to pay the bill was so garish that it caused that penalty, where the person was burned to death.


The inquisition ever executed those people itself, the execution was made the secular authorities, that’s why Inquisition has kept its hands clean. The killing was not suitable for priests and nuns. It was the dirty job that left to sheriffs and soldiers. The medieval time was not full of the wars and despotism. The constitutional state was started to create in that time, and people learned to live even with Inquisition. The same thing was to happen in other fundamentalistic states in the world.


People would learn to live with that kind of system, and the turning to democracy was caused by war. The democratic state can mobilize all of the people, but dictatorship must leave large groups of the armed forces as the security troops, and this was the good argument for democracy if the state’s primary mission was to go to war. This model worked in Prussia, because it looked like more attractive, and gave people the change to take a part in the state leadership.


And this changed the military system that kind of thing, that every person in that state would feel, that they defended something important. But the democracy was far away from the medieval model, where the king was far away from the people. The kings ruled alone, and the people were same, who was their ruler. The unlimited rights of the ruler made the situation, that laws changed when the king changed. And that made the state very unstable.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. 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.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. 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. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. 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".
