About conflicts in Middle-East and use of under-age combatants

One very traumatic thing in the Middle-East conflict is using children as soldiers in those conflicts. When ISIS or some other terrorist organization would deliver their propaganda, they introduce under-age persons, who are armed with assault rifles. And that version is probably in use at another side. The sultan's personal soldiers, Janissary have chosen in very young age, in Ottoman's Empire, and those warriors tradition have been transferred to modern Emir's special forces in Oman and other Middle-East countries.


There is one very interesting transformation about the Janissary training. The Sultan of Turkey claimed to those persons, that their parents were Christians, who have delivered their children as slaves to Sultan. That guaranteed the loyalty and hate against Christianity of those troops, what was known as their fanaticism and brave in the battle. The modern version of that political training could be that there would be that the children whose parents have been dead claimed that the terrorists or Islamic terrorists have caused the death of those persons, and that can cause hate for rest of that child's life.


Hate makes them the good target for the special forces recruiters, and if the death caused by the terrorist attack, would that increase the hate. In this version, the real reason for the death of those parents could be driven in drunk or overdose of heroin. The story, what will be told about that incident could motivate that person to take recruiting in some special units or mercenary companies could be surer than without that kind of motivator.  Have you ever thought that maybe somebody would guide the laser-guided bombs against civilians on purpose?


One of the most important purposes of showing child combatants is provoking the opponent to open the fire against targets, where are children. And then introducing those victims, would that terrorist organization want to get people sympathized their side. Smart weapons are very effective against tanks and hardened shelters. The use of those weapons is that the laser-guided bombs would be pointed to target, what is marked by the laser designator. The designator can be installed to the aircraft or it can use the operator, who might sit on the ground and point the laser designator to the target.


That person can be the regular combatant, special forces operator or agent. The use of those weapons has become more common because they give aircraft very effective tank busting capacity, and they help avoid the civilian casualties. But if the laser-guided weapon is targeted to the civilians, would the result be more deadly than making this strike by normal free-fall bombs. Sometimes smart weapons are criticized because they allow the assassination missions, where is used aircraft.



But the answer to critics has been that behind it is Russia or the Soviet Union, what wants to deny those bombs because they danger the tank-base tactics. But that might be only the propaganda of the CIA. And today is created very small size (1-10 kg) guided bombs, what can destroy any tank or cannon on the ground. And they can be used by F-15 or other fast attack aircraft, and they are created to replace cluster bombs in those anti-tank missions.

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...
