Why are the keys to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher kept by Muslims?

The Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem is divided between six Christian denominations: Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian and Syrian. Different parts of the complex are assigned to confessions, but some are used in turn, for example, the cuvuklia, where the liturgy is served on the Holy Sepulcher itself. Historically, such a division has often been the cause of conflicts between confessions, therefore, from the 12th century to the present day, the keys to the temple are kept in the Arab-Muslim family of Judah, and the right to open and close the temple every day is assigned to another Arab Nuseibe family.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

How do seeds germinate?

Each seed resembles a small bag in which the future plant is packed. The seed contains not only a new tiny plant, but also all the substances necessary for its nutrition. You can see this plant germ and its nutrition if you cut a large seed, such as a bean, in half. You will see two pale, thin halves called cotyledons. They are filled with starch to feed the developing plant.

If you look closely, you will notice a white sprout at one end between the cotyledons. This is the future legume. Some plants have only one cotyledon. The embryos of some plants germinate and sprout as soon as they fall and fall into the ground, and some need a certain period for this, sometimes even several months.

Roots appear first, then leaves grow. Seeds that are found in juicy fruits, such as apples or tomatoes, do not germinate until they are extracted from those fruits. This happens because fruits contain substances that prevent seeds from germinating. The tiny sprout that is in the seed is called the germ, or embryo. A stem and leaves grow from its upper part. A process departs from the rest of the embryo, from which a root then develops.

Seeds germinate under favorable conditions. Such conditions are heat, a sufficient amount of moisture and oxygen. Under these conditions, the supply of nutrients begins to nourish the embryo. The embryo grows, breaks through the shell, and a young plant appears, which gradually becomes similar to the parent plant.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

energetic windows 06.04.2011

The Norwegian company Ensol has patented thin-film solar cells, which consist of metal nanoparticles deposited on glass in a vacuum chamber.

The work is carried out in cooperation with the Faculty of Physics of the University of Leicester (England). By 2016, the firm hopes to achieve 20 percent efficiency in its batteries. Glasses with a solar battery can be used to glaze windows - they will be slightly darkened, but for sunny southern regions this is only a plus.
