The weapons and tradition

Below this text is a link to famous traditional German songs from the 17th. century. There is a series of portraits of that time art, and here I must mention, that I don't have copyrights for that video, but you might push the link and watch it by self. The film consists the interesting paintings from that period, and as you might seem, those paintings consist the introductions, how the weapons should handle, and of course the warnings and codes, what people who fought in 30-years war should afraid.


The rifles in those paintings seems normal weapons, but they are made by extremely strong materials, what means that they were so-called "hand cannons".  Those extremely powerful flintlock muskets could penetrate walls of stone houses, and that made them extremely dangerous.  Also, the crossbow was loaded with windlass, and that tells something, how powerful those weapons were. The strong bow would give extremely high power for arrows, what would send to the targets.


Also, there are paintings of the men, who use heavy swords. Those extremely long swords were so devastating, that they could cut the horse in two pieces. But in the 30-years war, those swords were also equipped with rifles, what would make them more powerful. The back of the sword was sometimes equipped with the small pistol, what could be used when the blade is turned upwards, and the opponent was not always noticed the pistol.


There are stories of the "singing swords", what was equipped with the instrument, what keeps the sound, what caused pain. The blade has targeted the sound and the target was screaming with pain. After that, the inventor named Alessandro Volta created the sword where was the Volta's statue in the band. That sword gave electric shocks to the other persons if Volta used that sword against other people.


There were, of course, the "Black magic", that meant that the swords could load with electricity, what was created by using static electricity. In fact in the modern military sometimes have been tested the catapults and even the crossbows, what are equipped with dynamos. The fast rotating dynamos can store the high voltage electricity for the arrows, and that could make them excellent electromagnetic weapons, what could damage the electronic equipment.


Those arrows would not deliver their electricity, because the wooden structure would be a good electric insulator. And during the 30-years war, the crossbows were equipped with muskets, because that gave the shooter the change for two fast shots.   Also sometimes recon troops have damaged the electric high voltage lines by shooting arrows, where was connected the electric wires. When the wires have touched the cables, that can cause damages to the power circuits.


Modern people have given also some new names for the paintings. In the 4:41 the painting was renamed as the "MAV attack". But the purpose is only to tell, that people are talking everything, what those men have done. And picture what is at the 3:38 is renamed as "Knight gets equipment from the fourth dimension". The meaning of that picture is only the remember that the men could have secret orders for some situations. There are many interesting details in the film, what is in the link, what is below the text. The meaning of the cloud is, of course, bad news. And in some pictures, the meaning is the scare the people, that somebody would see, what people are doing, and if those men were drunk, they were killed very easily.

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...
