Smoking is now prohibited in some Finnish prisons

The first Finnish prison, what prohibits the smoking in its area is the Central Prison of Sornainen at Helsinki. This prohibition is somewhere criticized, but the reason for that is the cigarettes and tobacco products causes problems in prisons. The problem is that that stuff is used for merchandise for the prohibited items, and that is one reason to make the prison non-smoking area. The prisoners are sometimes against this thing, but they would not have listened, because the purpose of the prison is to punish criminals.


The problem, what those cigarettes are causing, is that sometimes weaker persons have forced to use their money for buying tobacco for their prisoner mates. Cigarettes are used for payment even for drugs like heroin, but I don't know how common this problem is in the prisons. All my pieces of information are from the articles in some magazines, what is telling about crimes. The non-smoking prisons also are safe, because there is no change to burn cell or cellmate with cigarettes. And the prisoners would not die of lung cancer so easily.


And that's why the prison staff would want to deny smoking in that area. There are stories that in some prisons in the world even murders have paid with cigarettes. Another thing, what is very interesting is that some prisoners have got some threats and they are claimed to steal another person's cigarettes.  And the price of those cigarettes has been raised even a thousand euros.

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".

Higgs field and the speed of light

Dimensions are energy levels. When the difference between energy levels between two objects rises too high, they lose their ability to interact with each other. And the problem with crossing the speed of light is that researchers cannot pump enough energy that the particle can jump to the fourth dimension.  When a particle closes speed of light its size turns smaller, and finally, a particle cannot turn smaller anymore. And that thing is the cosmic speed limit. The light cone is the model that for crossing the speed of light the particle must push its structure through itself. And that is difficult because the particle's density turns so high that it cannot push its superstrings through that structure.  When we think that the Higgs field pulls energy through particles we might understand why only photons and other massless particles can reach the speed of light. The energy that travels through particles impacts the Higgs field. And that's why it will deny crossing the speed of

The Dark Matter as a cosmological discrepancy

The problem with cosmology and dark matter is that cosmologists cannot connect dark matter with standard cosmological models. Without knowledge about details of some parts of the system that makes impossible to make complete models of the system.  The fact is that we know only 5% of the universe. We cannot make it complete. And working models about the system where 95% remains unknown. so we know only a little part of the system called universe.  In some models, dark energy is connected with dark matter. The source of dark energy would be dark matter. But confirming this theory is impossible if we cannot see dark matter or dark energy.  In many models, the WIMPs (Weakly interacting massive particles are the thing. That makes the mysterious gravitational effect called dark matter. The form of WIMP is a mystery. There are also models where WIMPs are like gravitational skyrmions.  Or they could be overweight gravitons. But the problem is that nobody saw graviton yet.  There is the possibi
