«El espacio está lleno de partículas de muy alta energía que se desplazan a gran velocidad. Y, en ocasiones, esas partículas chocan contra distintos objetos -continúa-. Si un rayo cósmico golpea la cámara con el ángulo adecuado, puede crear una enorme cantidad de electrones en varios píxeles de la imagen (...) Así que, cuando la cámara lee la imagen, aparece una gran franja blanca y brillante que puede adoptar muchas formas, tamaños y configuraciones diferentes y que, básicamente, puede aparecer en cualquier lugar de la fotografía»

Marxism as a Secular Religion A traditionally religious person accepts that they inhabit a world of scarcity and suffering, finding peace through belief in salvation from God. The affluent atheist, encountering hardship and personal responsibility for the first time, may instead become overwhelmed by anxiety. Marxism, disguised as economic theory, promises to relieve individuals of responsibility by transferring it to the system. It offers the religious concepts of a fallen world, a chosen people, certainty, and moral status, while removing Christianity’s most difficult demands: repentance and forgiveness. Rather than locating sin within each individual, Marxism assigns it to a class: the bourgeoisie. Salvation is no longer a process of personal transformation but something achieved by acting against others. The individual is not asked to examine himself, because guilt is always assigned to another class. This helps explain why Marxist revolutions so often end in mass graves. If evil is viewed as a property of a class, then eliminating that class becomes an act of purification. Mass murder is not treated as a betrayal of the doctrine but as its ultimate fulfillment. Marxism elevates resentment to a virtue. It portrays inequality as a cosmic injustice and suggests that hatred of those who possess more is morally justified. Ironically, although it rejects God, it borrows religious language. In a purely material world of atoms colliding randomly, no arrangement of matter can be inherently unjust. Class origin becomes a crime inherited from one’s ancestors, and forgiveness has no meaningful place. When salvation is promised through the violent removal of an entire class, the result is tragically predictable. Marxism is not merely an economic theory; it is a secular religion of resentment and destruction.

Jour 196, orbite 3037 — Tellement contente de contribuer depuis l’orbite à la recherche européenne en physiologie ! Je porte depuis six semaines une combinaison d’électrostimulation musculaire (EMS) pendant mes séances de cardio. L’enfiler et la retirer évoque mille souvenirs de sports nautiques 🏄. Qui voit de quoi je parle ? 😄 Grâce à l’électrostimulation musculaire du corps entier, cette combinaison active les muscles dans tout le corps pendant l’exercice, ce qui permet de rendre chaque séance encore plus efficace. C’est particulièrement important dans l’espace : plus notre entraînement est efficace, et plus nous pouvons consacrer de temps à la science ou à la maintenance, tout en restant mieux préparés à vivre et travailler sous gravité, de retour sur Terre ou, un jour, sur la Lune ou sur Mars. L’astronaute de l’ESA Matthias Maurer était le premier à tester ce concept lors de sa mission Cosmic Kiss. Les chercheurs cherchent désormais à savoir si l’EMS peut aider à préserver le tonus musculaire, la rigidité musculaire et la force fonctionnelle lors de longs séjours dans l’espace. 🌍 Ces recherches pourraient profiter aux futures missions d’exploration, avec des retombées également sur Terre, par exemple chez des patients en rééducation après une opération ou des personnes dont la mobilité est réduite. Vive la science ! 🎥 @esa / @NASA #εpsilon • @esaspaceflight • @ESA_fr • @Space_Station • @NASAJohnson • @DLR_SpaceAgency • @ChariteBerlin • OHB #ESApourlarécherche #ExplorationSpatiale #Musculation

Japanese researchers have developed a navigation system called Wireless Muometric Navigation System (MuWNS), which uses muons generated by cosmic rays as an alternative to GPS, being able to operate in environments where satellite signals cannot be applied, such as underground or inside buildings.

Osservata l'indigestione cosmica di un buco nero

Il nostro @Dario5S continua a regalarci perle inestimabili. Stavolta posta un video di Giorgio Bongiovanni, direttore di Antimafia Duemila. Uno che racconta di aver ricevuto le stigmate con due raggi emessi direttamente dalla Madonna apparsagli nel 1989 (ecco il perché delle mani fasciate). A quelle ne sarebbero seguite altre sui piedi, al costato e sulla fronte. Un chiaro segno del compito a lui affidato di divulgare il messaggio spirituale di Fatima, ivi compreso l’immancabile terzo segreto. Bongiovanni è noto anche per la vicinanza all’ambiente ufologico legato a Eugenio Siragusa. Gli extraterrestri per lui non sono semplicemente membri di civiltà aliene ma “angeli di biblica memoria”, “Esseri di luce” e messaggeri di un ordine cosmico-spirituale. Uno con un simile curriculum non può che essere anche filorusso. Tra le sue interessanti posizioni ci sono la minaccia nucleare della NATO contro la Russia (non viceversa) e l’idea che dopo l’invasione Zelensky dovesse essere arrestato e tutti i territori contesi dovessero essere dati alla Russia. Nel video lo sentiamo sproloquiare di CIA, stragi e complotti per far chiudere Report e il Fatto prima delle elezioni, con il nostro eroe senza lividi che si domanda seriamente se tutto questo non c’entri qualcosa con i guai di Ranucci. D’altra parte Bongiovanni è membro di diritto del pantheon grillino e post-grillino. Parliamo di uno che, attraverso Antimafia Duemila continua a sostenere la teoria della trattativa Stato-mafia nonostante l’assoluzione definitiva degli ex ufficiali del ROS Mario Mori, Antonio Subranni e Giuseppe De Donno nel reato di minaccia a corpo politico dello Stato. Cioè un complottista che vorrebbe ammanettare anche agli assolti, praticamente il sogno bagnato di tutti i pentacosi. #Antimafia #Spiritualità #Complotti

The Horizon of Reason: Finding Meaning in Atheism. Good day, everyone. When people hear the word "atheism," they often think of what it lacks. They focus on the prefixes and the definitions: a lack of belief in a deity. But to view atheism only as an absence is to miss the entire landscape of what it actually builds. Today, I want to talk about atheism not as a void, but as a vibrant, deeply responsible, and profoundly hopeful way of looking at our universe. At its core, atheism is a commitment to radical honesty. It is the decision to look at the vast, beautiful, and sometimes terrifying cosmos and say, "I do not know all the answers, and I will not invent stories to fill the gaps." Atheism relies on evidence, reason, and the scientific method. It is driven by the same curiosity that makes a child look through a microscope or a scientist peer through a telescope. It embraces uncertainty. In uncertainty, there is room for growth, discovery, and learning. When we accept that we do not have a cosmic blueprint, we become actively responsible for writing our own stories. A common misconception is that without a divine entity, there can be no morality. But atheism flips this dynamic. It suggests that kindness, empathy, and justice do not come from a fear of cosmic punishment or a desire for a heavenly reward. They come from us. We are kind to one another because we are social creatures who share this planet. We care for the sick because we know what pain feels like. We fight for justice because we want to live in a fair world. Our morality is human-centered. It is born from the profound realization that this life is all we have, and therefore, how we treat each other right now matters more than anything else. To an atheist, this life is not a dress rehearsal for an afterlife. It is the main event. This realization does not make life meaningless; it makes life infinitely more precious. Think about a rare gem. It is beautiful precisely because it is scarce. In the same way, a single human life—spanning just a few decades on a tiny blue planet—is a rare, breathtaking miracle of biology and physics. Because we believe this is our only chance, the time we spend with our families, the art we create, and the love we give become urgently important. We cannot afford to waste a single day. Atheism is not about tearing down anyone else's faith. It is about building up human potential. It is the belief that humanity is strong enough, smart enough, and kind enough to navigate the dark corners of the universe together, guided by reason and compassion. We are the authors of our purpose, the journey, life itself. We are the guardians of this planet. And we are the keepers of one another. Thank you.
