How did the Protestant religion come about?

At the beginning of the XNUMXth century, a religious revolution began, called the "Reformation". As a result, many branches of the Protestant religion emerged. Both words - Reformation and Protestantism - mean that the main thing in these religious revolutions was a passionate desire for change, which then happened in the Catholic Church. What did these people want to change and why?

One of the reasons for the protest is the way of life of many church hierarchs. They saw that for the clergy material concerns were more important than spiritual life. In addition, the reformers opposed the sale of indulgences - official documents that freed people from punishment for their sins. Many also envied the vast landholdings of the monasteries, although there were other forces that promoted the Reformation. Many people joined the reformers, mostly for political and economic reasons. Nationalism grew, and in its wake appeared the desire for a national church.

Another reason was that the power of the pope at that time was in question, since it affected not only church affairs. Great disagreements arose when the Holinesses began to share power with each other. In 1517, the sale of indulgences by unscrupulous merchants reached such proportions that it provoked a protest from the German scholar Martin Luther, an adherent of the Order of St. Augustine. He was excommunicated, declared a heretic, but his doctrines spread.

In 1530 he published the so-called Augsburg Confession containing 21 articles of the Protestant faith. The result is a complete rift between Catholics and Lutherans. The dogmas of the Reformation on which the Protestant Church is based have been adopted in various forms in other countries.

What is protoplasm?

Various discoveries have been made in science. Under laboratory conditions, some natural phenomena are repeated. But there is one substance that has not yet been able to repeat. This is protoplasm - the living part of all plants and animals.

All organisms, plants and animals, are made up of cells. Some of these cells contain millions, as in humans, others consist of only one cell, such as protozoa. The organism of a whale, a man, a rose contains the same substance in the cell - protoplasm.

The protoplasm of a cell consists mainly of two parts. Central, denser - the core. The second part, softer, liquid, is called "cytoplasm".

Protoplasm is different in composition. Each species of living organisms has its own form of protoplasm. But even inside the body, different cells have their own types of protoplasm.

However, despite the differences, 99% of the protoplasm consists of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, with the addition of some chemical elements. However, we know that everything that a living organism does is carried out in protoplasm.

When food enters the body, it is digested, or converted into liquid. Then the digested food must be absorbed by the protoplasm and become its integral part. This process is called "assimilation". This is a very amazing process - protoplasm turns inanimate matter into living material, turning foreign substances into itself like a substance.

Protoplasm also accumulates and releases energy, which is in the body of a plant or animal. Protoplasm, like the living organisms containing it, has periods of rest and activity. Protoplasm reacts to external stimuli. Strong light or heat kills her. Chemical elements attract or reject it. The electric current affects her behavior. However, science still has much to learn about protoplasm itself and how it functions.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Vampire star discovered 12.05.2022

After studying mysterious flashes of light emanating from one of the Milky Way's systems, researchers have discovered what they suspect is the elusive Black Widow-type star.

Scientists have found evidence of the existence of a vampire star in our galaxy. Also known as the Black Widow. This object is a pulsar that spins very fast and sucks energy from a companion star.

The object was identified in the system under the designation ZTF J1406+1222. The pulsar found there is located approximately 3000-4000 light years from our planet. The Black Widow and her victim revolve around each other every 62 minutes.

In order to detect this system, scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology had to use the latest technology. They had to look for visible light that comes from the victim star. It is assumed that the "Black Widow" will eventually completely absorb its neighbor.
