Writing about statues and attitudes

Society gives us the norms how to live, and the norms might understand the synonyms as world "attitudes".  Attitudes have been changed, but the remainings from the old time are still visible in the street views. Above the text is the picture, what might show the well-known place, but there is one very small thing, what I'd like to show you. In this view is two statues, where another is the man, who keeps the boy on the right side, and the woman, who keeps daughter on the left side.

As we all know, the heart is at the left side. I don't know if this the purpose of the sculptor, but this composition might mean, that the women always be persons, who make the decisions with feeling, and the man would make the decisions by using rational way of thinking. When we are looking those statues, the woman is on the right side and the decisions, what she makes by using feelings and heart feels right, and the man who is positioned on the left side might mean, that the decisions, what man makes, might seem wrong.


But when we are looking at the things from their side, they would be made right things, if the things are looking from their side. This is the problem with the things like getting the education have been understood the very masculine thing, and of course, the decision, what educated person made are always difficult. But the life is not easy, and if the person would have no education, would other people make the decisions for that person. When those sculptures are made, the man actually owned women.


 And being free, must the women stay unmarried. In that time masculinity was right, and the masculine man was the thing, what symbolized the advantage and power. Women and feminine things meant traitorous attitudes, and the best example of those attitudes is the old detective films faithful women, who set the traps for the detectives, who used brown poplars and who were portraited famous actors like Humphrey Bogart, who smoked cigarettes non-stop.


This man died because of throat cancer at the age of 58, and he smoked over 100 cigarettes per day. In the modern movies that would not happen, because the laws are prohibiting the marketing of cigarettes.  Science was the very masculine thing and that's why in Finnish language Scientist is almost every time translated in the way "tiedemies", what exactly means "science man", and this is the very good example of the attitudes in 19th. century. This is writing about attitudes, and the thing, that those attitudes were very different in the past. Or if you lived in the time of those black and white movies, would you ever believe, that in some day, would gay people get in the married or woman would be portraited the action hero?

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...

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". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) The transcendenc...
