How do some Wikipedia authors play tricks on readers?

Wikipedia sometimes contains hoax articles, partly or completely invented by their authors. One of the most illustrative examples was an article about the Bikolim conflict - a war allegedly taking place in the 17th century between Portugal and the Maratha State, provided with a large number of references to fictitious sources and designed according to all stylistic rules. Appearing in 2007, the article was a good one and ran for more than five years before the scam was exposed. In fairness, it should be noted that Wikipedia has created a special page that describes in detail all the identified hoaxes, and the total number of possible fake articles compared to the total volume of the encyclopedia is extremely small.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Treasures of Lake Kivu 05.12.2010

The large African Lake Kivu, lying on the border between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, hides in its depths a real energy treasure. At a depth of 300-500 meters, methane is dissolved in lake water - as much as 65 cubic kilometers of natural gas.

Rwanda has recently begun to develop these reserves by placing in its waters a floating platform of the type used for the extraction of gas and oil in the seas. From a depth of 320 meters, a thousand cubic meters of gas are pumped out every hour. It operates a 30-megawatt thermal power plant located nearby. It is planned to increase its capacity to 2013 megawatts by 200 in order to supply electricity to neighboring countries. Gas reserves will last at least a hundred years.

Where does the methane in the lake come from? It has accumulated over millennia thanks to the activity of bacteria that decompose the remains of dead plants and animals that sink to the bottom. But with this gas, the content of which in the lake has increased by 30% over the past 20 years, there may be a danger associated.

Lake Kivu lies on a large geological fault; craters of several extinct volcanoes have been found at its bottom. If they wake up, disaster for the entire region is guaranteed.
