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. About one of them, the world famous Mirozhsk Cathedral, we wrote in the last issue of the TRV. Foreign tourists who come to Pskov are primarily going here - to look at the famous frescoes of Miron.

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.

Bunches of protons were successfully drawn throughout the 27-kilometer ring of the accelerator on the energy of the inject of 450 GEV-first in one, and then in the opposite direction.

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.

Armen Leonovich Takhtajyan On November 13, 2009, in the 100th year of his life, an outstanding scientist, evolutionary biologist and botanist academician Armen Leonovich Takhtajyan died. A.L. Takhtajyan was born on June 10, 1910 in the city of Shusha (Nagorny Karabakh). His school and student years are associated with Georgia. He studied at a school in Tiflis, and then graduated from the All -Union Institute of Subtropical Cultures in Sukhumi.

Irina Levontina Recently, some old Soviet film was shown on TV, and a song was sung by cheerful female voices. I heard this song out of the corner of my ear. It's all about the characteristic style of singing - the voice murmurs, consonants are not audible at all. And then I thought I heard the chorus line: Energetic / And practical (it's about friends). I was amazed: I never expected to hear the word practical in this context.

My review (very critical, by the way) of Nikonov’s book “Opium for the People” caused a volley of responses, probably touching a nerve among many. 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.

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. Sasha, not without sadness, wrote to me that he would hardly strive to return to the Russian province, where he hardly earned on bread and could not do science in any way.

Dear editors! Everyone knows what hinders a bad dancer, but what hinders a good ruler is a much more interesting question. The answer, which naturally suggests itself, is that people are in the way. Well, that is. the ruler is good - an eagle-eagle, but the people did not come out with their snout - they are lazy, they steal, they like to drink, like ours. Again, unfavorable circumstances often get in the way. Both together with the people and separately.

The fact that the reaction of combining nuclei of heavy hydrogen isotopes - deuterium and tritium - should release energy many times greater than during the decay of uranium nuclei was known much earlier than work began on creating a hydrogen bomb.

Let the foreigner remember, shelma, Let it wrap up on his mustache: Our Arctic shelf He will not grab the treasured Cus. In this we are reliable guarantee - If anything, he will answer his head - Glorious Russian science, The avant -garde of the world science. Igor Irteniev On November 17-18, 2009, a meeting of the Russian Geographical Society (RGO) www.rgo.org.ru was held in Moscow , at which the Minister of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation S.K.
