The pictures are just PR: the real achievement of the James Webb telescope - voila! technology 9/14/2022, 10:15:08 AM Seeing distant galaxies with our eyes is spectacular, but that's not the point. Here's what NASA's telescope has really contributed to science and space exploration The Carina Nebula, as recorded by the James Webb Telescope (Photo: NASA) The pictures are just PR: the real achievement of the James Webb Telescope Seeing distant galaxies with our eyes is spectacular, but that's not the point. Here's what NASA's telescope has really contributed to science and space exploration Yaniv Yair, in collaboration with "The Technology", the technology division of Bank Hapoalim 14/09/2022 Wednesday, September 14, 2022, 09:48 In the last few weeks, news has been published for the morning about the impressive and far-reaching achievements of the formidable "James Webb" space telescope, which was launched into space at the end of 2021, in the midst of Christmas. Among the achievements: a high-quality scan of the planet Jupiter, spectacular energy ripples from dying stars billions of kilometers away from us, and up to Einstein's rings - a phenomenon in which the movement of light rays coming from a celestial sphere is disturbed by a particularly large mass, which the viewer recognizes as a ring of light. James Webb, after whom the estimated $10 billion telescope is named, was an American aviator, educator and the second director of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration, also known as NASA. Not just pictures There is no doubt that the images taken so far by the powerful instrument look like they were taken from the series "Star Trek". The photos that were revealed to the public are real, of course, but were well edited, to illustrate the spectacular discoveries and documentation. But they are only intended mainly for public relations. James Webb has other far-reaching achievements from the last few weeks, during which he cruised in space between shots. The information that came from the web, among other things, made it possible to place the Italian research satellite LASER-2 in orbit around the Earth. It is a compressed ball of nickel alloy and other metals, in which dozens of reflectors are embedded - light reflectors built to return the beam exactly in the direction from which it came. Using precise laser measurements of the satellite's position in relation to other planets such as the Earth, the scientists plan to investigate with greater precision the effects of the gravity of a large body - such as the Earth itself - on space-time, as well as on the gravity that outlines the satellite's orbit. Already in the last century, the effect of gravity on speed in creating a different time dimension was known. From the clock experiment (Haifley-Keating experiment) - in which clocks were sent into orbit around the earth in which time passed more slowly than clocks on earth and from movies we grew up on such as Back to the Future, The Flash and more - we learn about the significance of speed in order to create a black hole, through which , currently only in the movies, the heroes managed to move to another time dimension - to surf in time. To see and not to touch The observations of the distant galaxies are in terms of seeing and not touching - because of the great distance at the moment it is not possible to reach them, at least until we know for sure what the distance to them is, by using measurement satellites such as lars2. At the same time, humanity will have to produce a really fast spaceship that can overcome effects such as gravity, the drag force of the atmosphere, temperature, and more. And yes, she would also need to be able to return. As for black holes, it is known that their center of gravity is so high that they swallow up what is around them. Everything that enters them, is drawn to the center of gravity of the hole and disappears. That is, in order for us to cross a black hole, move to another time dimension and surf through time as described in the movies, a long time will be required. But at least we can look at the pictures. Here: https://newsrnd.com/tech/2022-09-14-the-pictures-are-just-pr--the-real-achievement-of-the-james-webb-telescope---voila!-technology.SJQVqpZ1-o.html

I am beginning to have doubts, if I and you are made of the same material... - because I don't understand at all, why you are laughing at this 4th picture. Me when I see it, I have the pity of these repulsive people who have left this garbage on the beautiful beach, they are ill-mannered - badly raised, dirty types, selfish egoists, stupid, etc. I have at this moment the shame of this part of human kind...then I am rather in anger against these behaviors, being horrified to see this beach condition (and what are the municipal property services doing?), not laughing...

Can homeopathy and acupuncture help patients with Parkinson’s? Acupuncture is not a substitute for treatment; homeopathy is just a lie. This is what you need to know about these alternative therapies NURIA E. CAMPILLO NURIA EUGENIA CAMPILLO 20 AUG 2022 - 01:29 UTC A man receives an acupuncture session. First of all, there is no single answer to the question, as acupuncture and homeopathy are two very different fields. Regarding homeopathy, the answer is an emphatic no. People call homeopathy a pseudomedicine (false medicine) or pseudoscience, but in my opinion, the terms “medicine” or “science” should not even be part of the definition. What homeopathy does is fool people. Homeopathic compounds contain – if after all the dilutions there is still a molecule there at all – an infinitesimal amount of the active ingredient. We are talking about the dilution of a dilution of a dilution of an active ingredient. Homeopathy is based on three alleged scientific assumptions, but there is really no science there at all: what is similar cures what is similar – in other words, at minuscule doses, a substance that causes symptoms similar to the disease in healthy people will be an effective therapeutic agent in sick people. The second principle is that of dilutions and dynamization. In homeopathic products, terms like 3C, 10C, and so on, refer to the degree of dilution. After countless dilutions, practically nothing remains of the alleged active ingredient. This is where the third principle comes in: water memory. Homeopaths argue that the water of the initial tincture (known as mother tincture) in which these solutions are made remembers the active ingredient, that is, that the water can physically recall the chemical properties of the substances that have been diluted in it, apparently forever. The experiments that have been done, and published, to prove water memory, have been later proved to be erroneous and careless. In conclusion, homeopathic compounds do not cure diseases such as Parkinson’s. They rely on the placebo effect and, quite often, on the distress of sick people and their urgency to find a something that will heal them. Acupuncture is a completely different matter. There are clinical trials – that is, scientific evidence – that show that, together with the different treatments used for Parkinson’s, acupuncture can actually produce some improvement. However, the metastudies that have been carried out for these clinical trials are insufficient. Much more rigorous analyzes are needed, like the double-blind method, a system used to guarantee that clinical trials produce real results. In it, neither those who carry out the research nor those who participate in the trial know if what the patients are receiving is the drug or the placebo. This is a way to avoid biases in the interpretation of the results, and it is easy if the treatment to be tested is something like a pill, but if we are talking about acupuncture, then it is much more complicated. There have been attempts where the acupuncturist performs fake acupuncture to some of the participants, but the acupuncturist does know whether they are using real or fake acupuncture. In addition, another aspect to consider is that Parkinson’s is a chronic disease, and what the trials have determined is the immediate relief produced by acupuncture. Whether this works in the medium and long term, it has not been studied. That is why meta-analyses on these clinical trials have to be more rigorous and include more people. But they have found that acupuncture, together with current treatments, does seem to help alleviate some of the symptoms of Parkinson’s. Nonetheless, it is of great importance to be aware that acupuncture cannot, under any circumstances, replace treatment. Parkinson’s is a neurodegenerative disease. It occurs when neurons do not produce enough of a neurotransmitter called dopamine. It mainly affects movement; its symptoms are tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement and some balance problems. It is estimated that it affects between 1% and 2% of the population over 60 years of age, and up to 5% of the population over 65 years of age. There are treatments to alleviate the symptoms, but we do not have a definitive cure. Nuria E.

A 'ghost' plane crashes after crossing Europe with no trace of the people on board NATO fighter jets inspected the aircraft during the flight but saw no sign of its passengers through the windows and no one responded to control calls. by Chantal Da Silva - NBC News A private plane that generated alarm and was escorted by NATO fighter jets as it crossed Europe without its crew showing any signs of life crashed off the coast of Latvia on Sunday, authorities in the Baltic republic said. The Cessna 551 aircraft, registered in Austria, was carrying four passengers, according to its flight plan. However, fighter jets sent to inspect the plane found no one in the cockpit, raising doubts about what could have happened before the crash. The plane was traveling from Jerez in southern Spain to Cologne in Germany, but changed course during the flight and air traffic controllers were unable to communicate with its crew, according to the Latvian authorities' statement. The aircraft belonged to German businessman Georg Griesemann, his company, Quick Air, said Monday. The company, which offers charter flights, did not indicate whether Griesemann or members of his family were flying on the aircraft. [At least one dead and 10 missing after seaplane crashes in Washington state]. The plane took off from Jerez around 10:56 a.m. (local time), according to the FlightRadar24 website. It turned in Paris (France) and flew over Cologne in the direction of the Baltic Sea, until it quickly lost speed and altitude, according to the tracking of the aforementioned website. "The plane crashed northwest of the town of Ventspils in Latvia, disappeared from radar," the Swedish Maritime Administration reported. Warplanes from Germany and Denmark inspected the light aircraft as it crossed through their airspace, but were unable to establish contact, according to Swedish Maritime Authorities spokesman Johan Wahlstrom, "they did not see anyone in the cockpit." The wreckage of the aircraft, a pile of debris and a slick of an oil-like substance were seen near the crash site, said Latvian search and rescue chief Peteris Subbota, who added that no trace of the passengers had been found.

Archeology: 1.8-million-year-old tooth found by early humans in Georgia 9/9/2022, 3:07:52 PM An archeology student has found a prehistoric tooth fossil near a Georgian village. According to researchers, the find proves that the early humans who migrated from Africa first settled in this region. Packed in cotton: Orozmani's tooth Photo: David Chkhikvishvili / REUTERS Archaeologists have found a 1.8-million-year-old tooth belonging to an early human species in Georgia. According to the researchers, the Caucasus region is thus confirmed as one of the oldest prehistoric human settlement sites, possibly the oldest outside of Africa. The tooth was found near the village of Orozmani, around 100 kilometers southwest of the Georgian capital Tbilisi. Human skulls were found in nearby Dmanisi in the late 1990s and early 2000s and have been dated to be 1.8 million years old. The Dmanisi finds were the oldest such discovery outside of Africa. This changed the scientific understanding of the evolution and migration patterns of early humans. "Orozmani, together with Dmanisi, forms the center of the oldest settlement of early humans in the world outside of Africa," said the National Research Center of Archeology and Protohistory of Georgia on Thursday, announcing the find of the tooth. Giorgi Bidzinashvili, the excavation team's research director, said he believed the tooth belonged to a "cousin" of Zezva and Mzia. These names were given to the bearers of the fossilized skulls almost completely preserved in Dmanisi. The British archeology student Jack Peart, who discovered the tooth in Orozmani, spoke of "far-reaching conclusions" - "not only for this deposit, but for Georgia and the history of the people who left Africa 1.8 million years ago". He told Reuters news agency, "This cements the status of Georgia as an important place for paleoanthropology and human history in general." The world's oldest known human fossil has been dated to be 2.8 million years old: a partially preserved jaw found in Ethiopia. Scientists assume that the early human species Homo erectus left Africa as hunter-gatherers around two million years ago. Tools as old as 2.1 million have been found in China. However, the Georgian finds remain the oldest human remains outside of Africa. ak/Reuters Source: spiegel HERE: https://newsrnd.com/tech/2022-09-09-archeology--1-8-million-year-old-tooth-found-by-early-humans-in-georgia.Byfx2ch_ej.html
