56. NATURAL-SCIENTIFIC AND THEOLOGICAL VIEWS ON DEATH

Death is the end of a person's life, when the vital activity of the organism stops. This is a natural and inevitable process that cannot be reversed. This is how death is interpreted in the scientific sense. In religious terms, death is the beginning of a new life. This is due to the religious doctrine of the material and spiritual human existence. Spiritual death does not come with physical death. The soul is reunited with God. Some scientists share religious views, saying that the soul, leaving the body, continues to exist in the form of an information clot, which then connects with the information field of the whole world. Materialists, however, do not agree with such an interpretation and argue that the soul (or, as they say, the psyche) cannot continue to exist after physical death. Recent studies by psychologists, physicians and physicists give reason to doubt the correctness of this point of view.

Death for a person is a crisis of his personal life. Realizing its closeness, he passes through a series of stages.

1. Denial. When a person is told that his disease is fatal, he does not want to believe it. This is a completely normal reaction for a person in this situation.

2. Anger. During this period, a person turns to himself and to all the people around him (those who are healthy or care for him) with the question: "Why me?" He can show indignation, anger or even anger. It is very important that a person be given the opportunity to speak, then this stage will be passed.

3. "Bargain". It is characterized by the appearance of the desire of a sick person to "bargain" his life. He begins to make various promises, saying that he will obey the doctors, fulfill all their prescriptions, etc. At the same time, the person turns to God, asking him for forgiveness for all the sins committed and the opportunity to live on.

These stages form the crisis period. They occur in a person in a given sequence and can be repeated.

4. Depression. It comes after a person has gone through a crisis. A person begins to understand and realize that he is dying, that this will happen soon and with him. He begins to withdraw into himself, often cries, does not want to part with his loved ones, but understands that this is inevitable. A person moves away from people and, one might say, dies socially.

5. Stage of acceptance of death. A person comes to terms with the thought of death, understands its proximity, begins to wait for it. This is the stage of mental death of a person.

Physiological death occurs at the moment of cessation of the functioning of individual systems or the organism as a whole.

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 ... >>

Portable charger for electric vehicles 03.01.2016

The Norwegian company Zaptec has developed the first portable charger for electric vehicles. A small unit, similar to a laptop battery, can be charged from a regular home electrical outlet, and then taken with you to recharge your car anywhere and at any time. The ESA website tells about the development.

The charger is one of the technologies created under the Technology Transfer Program of the European Space Agency (ESA). In particular, the Zaptec company is engaged in the creation of tools for soil sampling of Mars, the Moon and asteroids, and the technologies created in the process of this work are also adapted for "terrestrial" purposes. While working on a drill for drilling in space, engineers developed technology that proved very useful for designing an electric vehicle charger.

Since conventional drills with a rotary bit are ineffective for drilling in space, the company had the task of developing a new method. It was decided to use plasma as a cutting edge. Then the question arose of supplying the instrument with energy, because in flight conditions, for example, to Mars, the possibilities are extremely limited - only 100 watts, solar energy and small batteries. Then the engineers designed a small transformer that is charged from a low-power network, and then can power the tool.

It is this technology that was used in the described charger - due to its low power consumption, it can be connected to a conventional, household electrical outlet, and then put in the trunk, going on a long journey.
