42. The concept of eschatology

All variants of eschatological teachings (teachings about the End of the World) have similar features. As a rule, the onset of the End of the World is associated with the arrival of the Messiah (Savior, the Last Messenger) - Jesus Pantocrator (in Christianity), Mahdi (in Islam), Maitreya (in Buddhism), Kalki (in Hinduism), Saoshyant (in Zoroastrianism), Mashiach ( in Judaism). The Messiah comes to defeat Evil and make the Last Judgment. The background of the Last Judgment is a global catastrophe. After cleansing, the world is reborn again.

Eschatology is most fully expounded in the world religious literature in the "Rose of the World" by the Russian thinker, mystic and visionary Daniil Andreev.

Following the Christian Apocalypse, Daniil Andreev predicts the inevitable reign of the Antichrist, somewhere at the beginning of the 100rd century. This reign will last 150-XNUMX years. As a result, "devil-humanity" will be formed. Daniil Andreev characterizes him as follows: “It is not so difficult to imagine a spiritual portrait of those generations that will turn out to be almost the only inhabitants of the Earth by the XNUMXth century. With eyes accustomed from infancy to everyday spectacles of the most sophisticated debauchery, new and new types of sensual pleasure, or to the final devastation of nature, with a conscience stifled by centuries of preaching of amoralism, with sprouts of the highest movements of the soul, trampled down to the root by public mockery, with a consciousness emasculated from the slightest guesses about other values and about other ideals of illuminated epochs, these the unfortunate, already by the years of their youth, will not be people, but terrible and pitiful caricatures of them.

The catastrophe will come unexpectedly for the prince of Darkness and contrary to his absolute faith in his boundless victoriousness and his impunity. The essence of the catastrophe will be that the prince of Darkness will suddenly begin to fall through all the layers of the underworld, cut through, like lightning, the worlds of Retribution, Magma, the Core and fall to the timeless Bottom of the Galaxy, from where there is no way out until the end of time.

The catastrophe in our world will break out clearly, before the eyes of many living people, at the moment of one of the most magnificent apotheoses of the anti-Logos. To the shocked crowds, this event will appear as if the body of this creature, which had just been invulnerable, would suddenly begin to lose visible density and slowly turn into a kind of fog. At the same time, the ruler of the world will suddenly comprehend what is happening and behave in a way that no one has ever seen him before: in unearthly despair, shouting in a frantic voice, he will begin to grab at anything, rush about, howl like a beast, and so gradually, for an hour, disappear from people's eyes.

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 ... >>

Delivery of medicines to destination 03.06.2002

Specialists from the English company Gendel have developed a new way to deliver drugs to the diseased organ.

Usually drugs are administered "without a sight": the patient swallows a pill or receives an injection, and the drug enters the bloodstream, and with the blood it spreads throughout the body. It would be much more effective not to "smear" the dose throughout the body, but to deliver the medication exactly where it is needed. This would get rid of many side effects and reduce the required dose of the drug.

English doctors take a certain amount of blood from a patient (about 20 milliliters of the five liters of blood available to the average person) and treat it with an electric field, which causes pores to open in the shell of red blood cells. Through them, the medicine is injected, and the red blood cells stuffed with it return back to the bloodstream. Then the diseased organ is irradiated with ultrasound, which destroys red blood cells. The medicine goes exactly where it is needed.

The method has only been tested on animals so far, and clinical trials should begin next year.
