About various hypotheses of the origin of dark matter, about which hypotheses can already be rejected, and which seem to be promising, the chief of our newspaper Boris Stern talked with the Astrophysicist Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Igor Tkachev . - My first question is about the modern status of dark matter. We are sure that she is real. Are the researchers who are still trying to replace dark energy with a modification of physical laws in their articles?

Elena Kleschenko The situation with a strain of Omicron Coronavirus Sars-Cov-2 is still reminiscent of an old black joke about a person who has fallen into a hole, and his comrade: “How are you, alive?!” - "Alive!" - "Didn't break anything?!" - "No!" - "Fine! Where did you fall?

Sergey Smolyak Since the 1960s, I have to assess the effectiveness of investment projects, and from the beginning of this millennium-to evaluate the effectiveness of projects for the development of oil fields (more precisely, hydrocarbon deposits, but we will leave this terminology for specialists). At first glance, in this work there are only two tasks - to find out whether the proposed project is effective and choose the best of the several available project options.

On November 14, the Trada-Hawk held an emergency four-hour marathon in support of the Memorial*, in which more than 40 Russian researchers and enlighteners who work both in Russia and abroad took part. The video recording of the marathon is published on the YouTube channel of the TRV-hobby . We publish separate performances in the author’s version.

This is the location of the monument to A.D. Sakharov, which we approved today by decision of the Council of Deputies. This year Andrei Dmitrievich would have turned 100 years old. Among the memorial events was the installation of a monument in Moscow, but they could not find a place. The options that the organizing committee proposed for the preparation and holding of events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of A.D. Sakharov were not liked by Andrei Dmitrievich’s relatives.

Leonid Perlov The chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Doctor of Law, Professor, Honored Lawyer of the Russian Federation, General of Justice, Alexander Bastrykin, expressed his opinion on a single state exam, characterizing it as torture for young people. I can’t argue regarding signs of torture, but I do not think that the Professor general used this term in a strictly legal sense, rather in emotional.

On November 8, 2021, the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation filed a lawsuit against the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on the closure of the International Historical, Educational, Charitable and Human Rights Society Memorial* for non-compliance with the so-called “Law on Foreign Agents” (Federal Law No. 121-FZ).

Since the 1960s, I have been involved in assessing the effectiveness of investment projects, and since the beginning of this millennium, assessing the effectiveness of oil field development projects. At first glance, there are only two tasks in this work - to find out whether the proposed project is effective, and to choose the best of several available project options. However, at second glance, there are many more problems here.

I believe that the best motivation for creativity is a deadline. It is difficult to say that I would have been going to do a project about Andrei Sakharov, if not for the approaching diploma year at the university. I ended the magistracy of HSE. What is a diploma at a design school? This is an independent work, a series of drawings, installation, film, collection, book ... My learning profile is called “Printing Graphics” - this is a special technique for creating an image and its replication.

Recently, we rarely rejoice at the decisions of Russian courts and recognize them fair. But here is a rare pre -science exception. Sociologist Irina Totsuk says. Irina Trotsuk On December of December 2021, the Moscow City Court completely (!) The court decision of the judge of the Tver District Court of Tatyana Prayer dated August 16, which recognized the Correction of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the recognition of Russian citizenship in legal order.

Introduction and history of the issue Victor Berezin Vyacheslav Dokuchaev The special theory of relativity (STO) is a wonderful crystal palace for physicists, but it lies with a stumbling block, an annoying obstacle to the fantasy writers. According to one hundred, it is impossible to move faster than the light, so rapid interstellar trips are becoming impossible.

Larisa Melikhova The amazing thing happened: “Dissernet” became interested in the work of the Russian Public Chamber. It would seem that this fragment of democracy of the 1990s can represent interesting? Let us explain: for us it turned out to be interesting that this is now the only place of work of Natalia Pochinok (Gribkova), and yet, more recently, on her page, a member of the OP was an inscription: “The rector of FSBEI of higher education“ Russian State Social University ”.
