Our commentary on the performance of V.E. Fortova The fact that during the reaction of the nuclei of heavy hydrogen isotopes - deater and tritium, energy should be released many times more than when the uranium nuclei decay, they knew much earlier than the work on the creation of a hydrogen bomb began. But in the way of this transformation there was one insoluble, seemingly contradiction.

John Cathedral, modern view In the shadow of the frescoes of Miron Now in Pskov two pre -Mongol temples have been preserved.

Balanus Amphitrite is one of many types of acute crustaceans described by Darwin. Photo from the website of Newkasl University (www.ncl.ac.uk). Darwin is known to all of humanity as the author of the thesis “Man descended from a monkey” and to all more or less educated people as the creator of evolutionary theory. However, his contribution to science is by no means limited to these achievements.

In the most part of modern theoretical physics (statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory), the initial object is Hamiltonians. This is our gold reserve, those bricks from which a significant part of our science is built. Hamiltonian from the Hamiltonian Heisenberg ... Hamiltonian Ginzburg-Landau. Landau did not like Hamiltonians.

Rebekah Frumkin In the instructive thoughts of Leonid Kostyukov, what is “normal life” today, at least in the big city, www.polit.ru/analytics/2009/11/07/normalnayazhizn.html , my correspondence interlocutor Sasha, who is now studying at the University of Gonolulu, was mentioned.

Some expressed solidarity, while others considered their feelings offended. They consider atheistic exhibitions blasphemous and unacceptable, and references to the outrages of religious fanatics as insults. It is these responses that make sense to dwell on.

Part I Rice. I. Kiiko In early November, a congress of young scientific institutions of the Russian Academy of Sciences was held in Zvenigorod. Popying the known expression: “As it was called, it was so”, the organizers, unfortunately, did not guess this event to a congress or conference, but used the word “congress” - a word that stretches not the most pleasant associations, which from the very beginning caused a negative reaction in some of the gathered young scientists.
