The Russians made the first hotel in space from which will be able to view the Earth through huge windows. The space hotel will open its "doors" for tourists, but the 2016th year and five days at this hotel will cost more than 100,000 euros!
The Russian company "Orbital tecnologies" revealed its plans to build the first space hotel in hopes of adventurers with deep pockets to offer something that no one could.
Called the "commercial space station", this hotel will be located at 349 kilometers above the planet and is accessible using Russian Soyuz rockets.
Visitors, including the Emergency be astronauts with the existing station, will be able to choose whether they want to sleep in a vertical or horizontal beds, given the gravity of which will be located. Cabins with showers will be completely sealed to prevent spills to the water where they should not.
The original announcement saying that five days in this hotel cost more than EUR 100,000. Director of the Russian company, Sergei Kostenko said that his space hotel will be "far more comfortable" than the International Space Station, with four cabins in which they will be able to accommodate seven guests.
- Our plans for the interior of the hotel will not at all resemble the International Space Station. The hotel will be comfortable and will enable views of the Earth through huge windows - Kostenko said.
He added that their target group of wealthy individuals and people who work for private companies who want to explore the universe.
Food will be tailored to personal preferences of guests, but there will be an opportunity to famous chefs cook dishes before they are sent into space.
Kostenko said that some have already signed partnership agreements, and to seek additional funds among private enterprises. He also expressed his confidence that the space hotel will open its "doors" for tourists, but the 2016th years, long before the owner of "Virginia" by Richard Branson built his.
So far only 500 people were in space, despite a few rich people who were willing to pay for the privilege, they were all trained astronauts and cosmonauts.
Robots more actively involved in our daily lives. They are already helping people in the household: a clean apartment, and gather the ball in the field of golf or a taste for wine. However, are we willing to give up other functions, for example, driving, to be completely surrendered to the technique?
Driver and passenger safety is a top priority for most car companies. Of these, as well as scientific institutions, news arrived of a very interesting and is a major, useful inventions. They are fast and braking system, which senses obstacles, and devices that are able to predict or control the collision that the driver has fallen asleep at the wheel. Otherwise, it is possible that the very notion of a driver soon become history. In China, try unmanned cars, and even plan their production.
Such elaboration of the water and in other countries, but just ahead of China. The Chinese version of the car without a driver's vehicle successfully nearly 300 miles in a certain way. However, not everyone agreed to become a passenger in such car, - says the editor Autoizvestija Oleg Osipov.
After some time, robots will be able to drive the car. For now it is too early to claim that it is completely safe. When there are railway trains, trains in the subway without a driver, therefore, can be a car. It is a totally real perspective. In doing so we will not deny myself the pleasure of driving a car. There is a notion of drive. I am not sure this is right every driver. Otherwise this is a very distant prospect autopilot.
Driving is a good thing, but just because someone wishes to all around her prenerazi art comes to disasters. Robots are not subject to it. In addition, according to calculations draftsman, sophisticated systems react quickly to changing situations on the road.
If sophisticated circuits will occur next year, and to think about the next stage - to become a participant of traffic. Car orient themselves in space with GPS-navigation, and video cameras. Therefore the need of adequate quality and roadside and road signs. However, the main disciplines of other, ordinary drivers, - says Mikhail analyst at Aton Portnov.
In order for a robot on the road was safer than the man behind the wheel, it is essential that all drivers would go on autopilot, because the security level will not rise if one of the car is driving people, and the other autopilots. It is essential that all use the same robots. Only then would meet all the rules. It's hard to imagine the confusion of driving the robot, for example, on the roads of India and Egypt. Many tourists, who visited Cairo and Alexandria, has long remained under the influence of local style of driving on roads where there are practically no traffic lights. In India, the autopilot had to take into account all the participants of traffic - cars, bicycles, rickshaws, donkeys ... However, German inventors are convinced: the future cars will become an ordinary one but through 20 years. Only early to predict - whether at the time of ordinary life to be happy or unhappy.
On the Internet "heaven" is a new service launched for microblogging or send a short message - "Hilo", brought a French electronic media.
It is a network that has the same functions as the "Twitter", but different semantics.
Within services, "Hilo" there "pings" counterpart "tvitovima" - short messages on the "Twitter", which also should not exceed 140 characters, but it can add a photo or video content.
"Hilo" has launched a Noah Everett, Founder of "TvitPik" - one of the most popular photo-sharing services to "Twitter".
Although the speed of about 300,000 miles per second "red wax" sealed in the special theory of relativity, Albert Einstein, have recently reported three science fellowship that is in their experiments exceeded.
"There is nothing so absurd
as a philosopher, but he did not say "
Cicero
A journey through the "time wormhole" (or "cosmic shortcuts") is still beyond the reach of humankind.
The final frontier theoretical developments shaped the famous Albert Einstein is the 1905th The "miraculous year" (annus mirabilis) that was later called, saying that nothing (absolutely nothing) can not exceed the speed of light - about 300,000 miles per second! More specifically, it's speed through a vacuum, when it spreads through the air or glass, is reduced somewhat.
And that's "red wax" seal in the special theory of relativity. No matter how hard you try, you will never get to move faster.
Although physicists have struggled to show and prove to be faster (one of three Olympic principles), only recently have two gang - according to the prestigious journal "heavy work rivju B" - achieved the feat so far elusive. But do not worry: cleverly designed experiments do not violate the sanctity of relativity. In fact, only a slight acceleration of the flow data svetlovodima (optical cables).
Out before entering
As it turns out that the uniform light flash (pulse) travels faster than the speed of light?
If you think of it as a kind of electromagnetic radiation that stretches through space, you can draw the curve on the chart, the volume (intensity): Starting in the plane (zero), smooth climbs to a peak and then decreases to the initial value.
But this tip might be considered as the sum of waves with a wavelength range, which rise and fall, accumulating with each other on top. At the heart of different pulse waves are classified by reinforcing each other. In contrast, the front and rear edges of different waves are out of the line and cancel out each other.
Now suppose that a light pulse is forced through a special material that slows down one wavelength relative to the other. And that changes the way the waves lined and, at first sight puzzling, shifts the point at which reinforce each other in extent, and it seems to be moving faster than light! And what is even stranger: the top of waves can occur at the very end before he even passed through the material!
Out before entering! Not even the most skilled magicians that you are not accustomed to afford a similar illusion, which is reflected in two separate and recently demonstrated and proven.
In stock maelstrom
Vitaly Lomakina University of California at San Diego (USA) and researchers at the University of Navarra in Pamplona (Spain) - according to allegations in the prestigious journal "heavy work rivju B" - forced to beat the unbeatable Light physical (and fizičarsko) limit. Microwaves are sent out by 35 micrometers (thousandths of a millimeter) thin copper sheet with drilled holes, placed between two Teflon odsečka in the form of a coil thickness of 0.79 millimeters.
What is expected of unusual sandwiches?
The peak microwave flicker (pulse) was supposed to appear before the exit than at entry. First out, then enter. As in a kind of "time machine".
As is known, does not pass through metal much light. Therefore, it is added to Teflon. In previous studies of less than one percent of the cosmic pulse exceeded the limit speed of light. The combination of metal and Teflon for about 100 picoseconds (which bilionitih fraction of a second) arrived earlier, in a tenfold higher amount.
Technical wonders that's not all: Li Zan with Shanghai University (China) said that he had reached a higher speed transfer of silicon svetlovodima (optical cables). At a distance of ten meters is the signal for 221 nanosecond (221 billionth fraction of a second) arrived earlier in the second than in the first sensor, although they are arranged in reverse order. This is described in another eminent ("heavy work rivju leters").
Infinitely small, but measurable.
Although the data will travel faster than light, Zan Li believes that the future will be a little earlier signals disclosed. For about a few hundred nanoseconds. And that would one day have an advantage in speed forward stock indicators, of which we witnessed the unexpected turnaround last week. Hour up, sometimes down, and so a circle.
If you thought that no interpretation of these feats osporavalaca, you are wrong. Science that takes your breath has not said its last word.
"This world is a madhouse full of curious," once I was surprised and Albert Einstein.
Infinite energy
Absolutely moving with constant velocity does not exist. We talk about the movement of something relative to something else. But the light always moves at the same speed, regardless of the so-called reference rate to which the measure.
From the most famous equation of all time (E = mc2), created by the Albert Einstein, it follows that nothing can travel faster than light. Why? Because the infinite amount of energy needed to push the subject to light speed or beyond.
This is explained in the article "The electromagnetics of the body in motion," which had a total of 32 pages and was published in September, the 1905th year in the journal "Der anal physician."
Scientists from a patient Hanover have saved his life by being part of the heart replaced part of the small intestine. This type of transplant is done very rarely, since the research in progress.
Detection of cancer is a shock to everyone. This was the case of a 40-year Dutch of. Malignancy had already spread to the difficult places. That's why it was sent to Professor Axel Haverihu in Hanover. Haverih heads the Department of heart transplantation:
"When these patients were specific to the tumor and spread to the left atrium of the heart, but also the root of the right lung. In the Netherlands estimated that the operation is impossible and the woman came in asking Hanover last straw, "says Haverih.
Simply remove the tumor from the heart would lead to certain death
Transplantation was not an option because they do not practice in patients with cancer. So the professor decided to Haverih completely new method: remove the layer of the heart affected by cancer and immediately replaced part of the small intestine of the patient. During the procedure she was transferred to an artificial lung.
"Small intestines are removed with all the blood vessels and a total of fifteen centimeters long. Small intestine is perfect because it contains vessels that are associated with the patient's bloodstream, as with bypass. Thus we obtain a functional implant, "says Haverih.
The surgeon was forced hose for the heart wall exactly at the point where it was removed layer of the right atrium. What followed was the poetry of surgery - the ultrasound was nice to be monitored as part of the bowel function takes a pulsating heart wall. "After only three weeks have begun this part of the intestinal contractions. After six weeks of this part of the function almost normally and synchronously with the heartbeat of the patient. "
Successful animal studies
Scientists knew that surgery could be successful after years of research on rats and, later, pigs and sheep. However, not yet known where and how to develop heart cells. To find the answer to that question, the samples from the animals were sent to the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung in Bad Nauheim. "We found two different forms of heart cells. Some types of embryonic stem cells and originate in the intestinal tissue, while others are being built close to blood vessels. We believe that certain parts of the heart cells are being built with both types of these cells, "says Haverih.
It is still not known where and how stem cells get the signal that they should perform a metamorphosis. This procedure has been developed primarily for patients with cancer, but for children who have heart problems. However, as yet, neither child has undergone surgery. In Europe, the year 1000 babies is born with a heart defect, many are dying early because there are not enough organs for transplantation. The new method could help. "The primary objective was to apply the procedure on children with congenital impairment are born with, say, only one heart ventricle or atrium. Hereby, we provide relief, perhaps completely cured, "says Dr. Haverih.
He believes that the surgery performed on children soon. First, the procedure will be performed when more than one child has no other treatment options. One such case was the patient from the Netherlands - without surgery would surely die. Recently, the mother of four children with her family again, and it beats the heart caused by the small intestine.
Researchers at the U.S. space agency (NASA) for the first time were able to make a complete map of directions and speed of ice in Antarctica, which will significantly contribute to monitoring the predicted sea level rise caused by global warming. Site should explain what will happen with the "white continent" in a warmer world what climatologists predict.
A team of scientists has found that some formation of ice to the ocean waters move at a speed of about 240 meters per year. Displacement was observed due to the technique of comparing recordings made at the same location at different times. In some parts of Antarctica shift amounts to several centimeters per year, while in other parts reach a speed of several kilometers per year, with pieces that have become detached and swim from the edge of the continent. Such is the case in the western parts of which scientists say is currently suffering the fastest changes, and also have the greatest impact on the overall ice mass balance. Plate thickness in this part of each year for want of 15 meters.
"We saw an incredibly moving ice from the heart of Antarctica, so far, can follow. This is like a folder view of all ocean currents, "the project leader.
With the help of images of European, Japanese and Canadian satellite data collected since 1996. by 2009. year. The map will also serve to test computer models that are now used to predict the consequences of climate change on ice sheets and ocean water.
The consequences of global warming are bad for Earth's second half. It was announced that the Arctic, whose volume of ice falling for decades, warming faster than any of the planet. As global temperatures rise, researchers are trying to discover how the melting ice from Greenland could raise sea levels.
Microfossils have been found in Australia show that 3.4 billion years ago bacteria lived on earth where there was no oxygen, which encourages the discovery that advocates the thesis that on Mars there may be life, the agen-cies.
Scientists at the University of Western Australia and Oxford say that the remains of microbes found in ancient sedimentary rocks, the oldest fossils ever found.
Samples were taken from the most remote regions of Western Australia, Pool Stick with places where microbes, after death, preserved in chunks of quartz.
The area has some of the oldest rock formations on Earth, from the period when almost the entire country was under water, and must have a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius.
In a study published over the weekend in the journal''Nature Earth Sciences ", team member Martin Brejzer explains that the tiny fossils preserved between quartz parts of the world's oldest bank in some of the oldest sedimentary rocks ever found.
The analysis of fossils and rocks that were found in the environment, scientists have constructed a picture of the Earth that is 3.4 billion years ago was fiercely hot and where there was a constant threat of eruption and vuklanskih meteor storms.
The sky was gray and full of clouds which made it even hotter while the sun shone less than today. Ocean temperatures were between 40 and 50 degrees Celsius.
More importantly, there is little oxygen, because there were no algae and plants to be produced by photosynthesis, he said Brejzer.
''It was a great place for us. But the bacteria was fantastic. In fact, if I were to invent a place from which life originated, the early Earth was great, "he explained.
Finally,''we have solid evidence that life existed 3.4 billion years ago. The bacteria were then and there lived without oxygen, "said Brejzer.
''Would something like that could exist on Mars? It is very unlikely, "he added.
