42. Church of Satan

The main temple of the Church of Satan in the USA in the 1970s and 80s was located on California Street in San Francisco. Later, the main Satanic temple moved to Los Angeles, but the old temple also continues its service to Satan.

As stated in the "Satanic Bible" by A. LaVey - "The greatest of all holidays in the satanic religion is your own birthday." This is the exact opposite of the saints from the holy days of other religions, deifying some anthropomorphic god, created in the image and likeness of a human. The Satanist celebrates his birthday as the most important holiday of the year.

Joseph Brennan, in his book The Kingdom of Darkness, gives a complete list of satanic holidays. The most significant of them are the days of Saints Walpurgis, Vinebald, Eikhatard, satanic and demonic amusements, spring and autumn equinoxes, summer and winter solstices.

If your own birthday is the greatest holiday for each individual Satanist, then the main Satanic holiday common to all Satanists is celebrated every year on April 26th: according to Satanists, this is the day of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Satanists celebrate this day as the first victory of Satan over the incarnate God: this is how they interpret the events of Holy Week and the execution of Jesus Christ on the cross.

Participants of the demonic services come one by one, leaving their cars two or three blocks from the place of service. However, such a conspiracy is already redundant: today the telephone number of the Satanic Temple can be found in the directory in any telephone booth in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles and other US cities.

According to the researcher of Satanism J. Brennan, about eight thousand satanic "assemblies" are actively functioning in the United States, uniting about one hundred thousand Satanists. American Satanists have many branches of their organizations in most countries of Western Europe, Latin America, as well as in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

After the American branch of Satanism, the most developed is the English branch.

The founder of the English branch of Satanism was Gerald Gardner (1921-1964), the author of Witchcraft Today, an authoritative book among witches and sorcerers. Gardner's organization was broken up into so-called "families" or covens. The English Satanists placed great emphasis on practical magic and the process of demonic Initiation.

Recently, Satanism is becoming more widespread in Russia. Russian Satanists are the most fanatical and consistent of all Satanists in the service of Evil.

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 ... >>

Implant glasses for the blind 07.08.2013

The Argus device, which partially restores blind people's sight, has been approved for clinical use. The complex history of this invention demonstrates the existing problems with the procedure for the introduction of high-tech medical innovations.

The Argus device is a pair of sunglasses that integrates a video camera and an interface that connects a processor to 60 electrodes implanted in the retina. Argus works on the same principle as a real eye: it turns the image into a set of electrical impulses that stimulate the nerve cells in the retina. Thus, the signals enter the brain and are processed in the usual way, that is, they turn into a picture. Unfortunately, this technology is not a panacea for the treatment of blindness, because it requires a healthy optic nerve to work. However, with damage to the eyeball or other disorders that do not affect the nerve endings, Argus can give many people vision. The device is still imperfect - in the future, it will certainly be possible to implant many more electrodes, which will increase the resolution of synthetic vision.

Using Argus requires a complex invasive operation in which 60 tiny electrodes, mostly ultra-thin glass needles, are implanted into the patient's retina. In addition, the patient needs to wear special glasses with a processor and a video camera manufactured by Texas Instruments. The processor converts the image into patterns of electrical activity, which are wirelessly transmitted to a receiver connected to a grid of electrodes inside the eye. Then the electrodes stimulate the nerve cells in the retina, and the signals go to the part of the brain that processes visual information.

It should be noted that vision through Argus glasses differs from normal vision of a healthy person. With the help of glasses, a person sees only the edges of objects, their outlines in gray tones, but with different contrast. It is difficult to describe such a picture, approximately it looks like this: look at your room, for example, towards the window, and now close your eyes - the memories are an "imprint" and will look like what a blind person with Argus glasses sees. At first glance, this is a very poor and uninformative picture. Of course, it does not allow, for example, to read books or distinguish small details, but thanks to Argus, it becomes possible to safely cross the street, move around in an unfamiliar room, etc.

Also, experiments are currently underway to give the Argus system the ability to perceive colors. To do this, in the laboratory, the glasses processor is "taught" to create electrical patterns of red and green colors. After completing the software modification, patients will be able to distinguish between two important colors, which, among other things, mean a ban or permission, for example, at a traffic light.

A lot of blind people need devices like the Argus. But the same Argus was first introduced to the public 10 years ago and is only now approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. This is precisely the problem: today, Argus microchips, made 10 years ago, are outdated, but simply replacing them is prohibited by law - after all, only old microchips are certified.

The developers have focused on the software so far, but this is not a solution to the problem. Apparently, for the widespread adoption of high-tech implants, changes in certification procedures and clinical trials are necessary, otherwise medical equipment will be a generation behind the cutting edge of scientific and technological progress.
