The National Museum of Finland

Thinking about the shape of the National Museum of Finland is a very fascinating trip to the mind of the architect. This building is a national monument in Helsinki, and it locates near the House of the Parliament, and it's very easy to find. That building is made by three Finnish architects, Gesellius (1), Lindgren (2), and Saarinen (3), who are very famous for their works. In the national museum is the story of the history of Finland, and it's a very popular place to visit.


Sometimes I have thought about the profile of that building and noticed the tower's similarity with the rocket, what is in the cover page of the book "Ulos Avaruuteen".  I know that this is only a coincidence, but there is the very big similarity with the rocket, what is in that book's cover page and the tower of National Museum. This kind of things makes the world a very interesting place to live and give the direction for living.



I know, that this feels crazy, but this tower brings an idea in my mind, that maybe Geselius and his fellows planned space rockets in secrecy, but I know that I have very good imagination. That would be a good topic for some political thriller, and maybe in some day, somebody would write a story of three architects, who would draw rockets, and cover that thing as the plans of the tower of the National Museum.


And maybe the writer would use early deaths of those men as the murder, what causes, that somebody wanted to hide something. In real life Herman Gesellius (1874-1916) died at the age of 42. Armas Lindgren (1874-1929) age of 55 and Eliel Saarinen  (1873-1950) age of 77. Sometimes I have thought that maybe Gesellius and Lindgren would hide some of their projects from Saarinen, whose home language was Finnish. Maybe Gesellius and Lindgren were in the same class, and they had connections from that time, and Saarinen was little bit outsider because he was born in the different year. But this is only the speculation and those years of the born was only coincidence.


And the broken relationship between those men tells that there were problems. Only Saarinen saw old age, but as you see, both of his colleagues have not died extraordinary young. If they have smoked tobacco all of their life, that would cause cancer and death. But sometimes I have thought that did somebody put some chemicals in the Gesellius cigarettes causing the death at the age 42. But that is only thinking, and those architects were cremated after death and their ashes were laid in the lake of Hvittrask near Helsinki, a place where they spend their young-hood.

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...
