A thing about Leif Erikson's "Vinland".

When a Viking named Leif Erikson (c. 970 – c. 1019 to 1025) escaped his enemies from Iceland and Greenland to Nova Scotia that person was the first (almost certainly) confirmed European, who laid his feet in America. There is the possibility that some Fonikians or Egyptians had some kind of relationship with American Indians.

And the thing that supports that theory is a similarity between Maya or Mesoamerican pyramids and Pharaoh Djoser's pyramid. There is the possibility that the similarities between those step pyramids are a coincidence.

But when we are thinking about the name "Vinland" which means "The land of wine" we must realize a couple of things. There is a possibility that this name was symbolic, and Vikings didn't drink wine in that land.

That name could mean the place, where those Vikings could take a rest and feel safe. Or there is another possibility. There is the possibility that the Vinland is the place where rock is red. Or maybe the trees were red. There is a tree called Blood maple. The leaves of that tree are red. So was there where Leif Erikson visited the forest of Blood maples? That thing could explain why people are not found Leif Erikson'w wine source. America is an interesting thing.

The reason why people are interested in the explorers of that land. Is there the possibility that there is lost treasure on some islands? There is a possibility that some pirates like Klaus Störtebecker (1360 – supposed 20 October 1401) buried their treasures on the coast of North America before Columbus. Sometimes I have thought that could Christopher Columbus ( born between 25 August and 31 October 1451, died 20 May 1506), be the grandson of Klaus Störtetebecker the German pirate who lived 50 years before Columbus.

So did Columbus follow some guide when he went on his famous exploration of America? There is one interesting detail in the Christopher Columbus biography. The date of the born is not marked very accurately. And that thing causes the question of why there is that error? The place of his birth is believed to be Geneva. But there are introduced many other places like Corsica.

The memories of Cristopher Columbus wrote his son Fernando Colón or Ferdinand Columbus (c. 24 August 1488 – 12 July 1539).

There are two versions of the name of that person Fernando Colón and Ferdinand Columbus. So which mane does that person use in everyday life? Did Ferdinand Columbus use the name Fernando Colón as a pseudonym, when he published memories of his father?

The question is, why did Fernando Colón have a different name than his father? Of course, Fernando Colón could be some local version of Columbus. But the question of the memories of Cristopher Columbus is did Fernando Colón interview his father? Or did he read his father's diaries after his death?

In the wildest versions of his ethnic background, Columbus has been claimed to be American Indian or Jew. The reason why his family moved from Genove to Spain is unknown. The biography of that man was written after his death by his son. And many things are not true. Sometimes is claimed that Columbus was a fundamental Christian who wanted to release Jerusalem from the hands of Muslims.

The fact is that Columbus was not the only person in Europe in the 15th. century who spoke things like that. In his biography mentioned that there were some non-true adventures. But the question was did Columbus tell those stories himself or did his son invent those things himself?

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

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 interstellar nebula falls it can form

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.

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".
