The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the discovery of gravitational waves . Their existence was predicted by Albert Einstein, but the distortion of space-time by black holes was only detected in 2015. One of the winners of the award was the popularizer of science Kip Thorne, who advised the creators of the film "Interstellar" - and then published a book based on the film .

Vladimir Putin put an end to the "greening" of the head of Dagestan . As the now former leader of the republic, Ramazan Abdulatipov, said, he decided to leave, since the governor's corps was planting trees and shrubs. Abdulatipov is 71 years old. Vladimir Vasiliev, who replaced him, is 68 years old.

"Islamic State" published a video with "captured Russian soldiers" . It is alleged that they were captured in the battles for the Syrian city of Deir ez-Zor. The Russian Defense Ministry denies that Russian servicemen are in captivity.

Shooting in Las Vegas. Who killed 59 people?

The day before in Las Vegas, 64-year-old American Stephen Paddock from the 32nd floor of the hotel opened fire on the crowd gathered at the country concert. As the journalists found out, Paddock was quite rich, his relatives estimated his savings at two million dollars . The pensioner often spent time in Las Vegas and could play in the casino for months.

23 weapons were found in his room, two rifles were mounted on tripods. What exactly Stephen Paddock shot from is not known for certain; probably from semi-automatic rifles modified for high rate of fire. Why a rather rich man, himself a country music lover, decided to kill as many music festival goers as possible remains unknown.
