Axolotl, the walking fish is an animal, what doesn't have cancer and what can renew it tissues incredible fast. This animal is endangered, because of pollutions and there is the only couple of places in nature, where this animal can be found. The reason for that danger of the animal is pollutions because the skin of this tiny animal is so sensitive, and it would not stand the pollutions. The "walking fish" interests people, because that animal would not have cancer, and it can grow the new foot or organs if it's injured, and it actually can renew almost every part in its body.


This small salamander can also regenerate the neurons, and that is very attractive for persons, who are creating the cure against cancer. If the massive part of the brains must be removed in the case of a brain tumor or accident, there is the possibility that in the someday the Axolotl can help us to regenerate the new brain tissue, in the case of accidents or tumors, and in the cases, where the person would go underwater too long time the brains can destroy because the loss of oxygen. The accidents are the most common thing, what could take the person to the neurological hospital for rest of the life. And if we could regenerate the neurons, we could rescue those people live.


If we could renew our hands or other parts of the body the surgery would be more easy and effective than today. If there would be the tumor in the hand or leg, the doctor could make amputation, and then the new hand or leg would be grown to replace the removed body part. And in the wildest dreams could the doctors create the entire new body for patients. If doctors could use the own tissue of the person,  that would help against immune reactions. There is one very interesting fact with the name of this little salamander. It is named after the Aztec god of lightning and death, and here we must ask, "why this tiny animal has been named after this god"? Did Aztecs use the abilities of that small lizard for some purposes? Those are the interesting things, where we can get answers in some day.

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...
