Time Travel

Time travel 



is the concept of moving between different points in time in a manner analogous to moving between different points in space, either sending objects or in some cases just information backwards in time to some moment before the present, or sending objects forward from the present to the future without the need to experience the intervening period (at least not at the normal rate).


Although time travel has been a common plot device in fiction since the 19th century, and one-way travel into the future is arguably possible, given the phenomenon of time dilation based on velocity in the theory of special relativity (exemplified by the twin paradox), as well asgravitational time dilation in the theory of general relativity, it is currently unknown whether the laws of physics would allow backwards time travel.
Any technological device, whether fictional or hypothetical, that is used to achieve time travel is commonly known as a time machine.
Some interpretations of time travel also suggest that an attempt to travel backwards in time might take one to a parallel universe whose history would begin to diverge from the traveler's original history after the moment the traveler arrived in the past

                                 

Cleopatra and Calamity Jane

Cleopatra:

Cleopatra VII Philopator was the last pharaoh of ancient Egypt. She was a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, a family of Greek.
The Ptolemies, throughout their dynasty, spoke Greek and refused to speak Egyptian, which is the reason that Greek as well as Egyptian languages were used on official court documents such as the Rosetta Stone.By contrast, Cleopatra did learn to speak Egyptian and represented herself as the reincarnation of an Egyptian goddess, Isis.


Death

The ancient sources, particularly the Roman ones, are in general agreement that Cleopatra killed herself by inducing an Egyptian cobra to bite her. The oldest source is Strabo, who was alive at the time of the event, and might even have been in Alexandria. He says that there are two stories: that she applied a toxic ointment, or that she was bitten by an asp on her breast.Several Roman poets, writing within ten years of the event, all mention bites by two asps, as does Florus, a historian, some 150 years later.Velleius, sixty years after the event, also refers to an asp. Other authors have questioned these historical accounts, stating that it is possible that Augustus had her killed.


Calamity Jane

Martha Jane Cannary Burke , better known as Calamity Jane, was an American frontierswoman, and professional scout best known for her claim of being an acquaintance of Wild Bill Hickok, but also for having gained fame fighting Native Americans. She is said to have been a woman who also exhibited kindness and compassion, especially to the sick and needy. This contrast helped to make her a famous and infamous frontier figure.

In 1881, she bought a ranch west of Miles City, Montana, along the Yellowstone River, where shekept an inn. After marrying the Texan Clinton Burke, and moving to Boulder, she again tried her luck in this business. In 1887, she had a daughter, Jane, who was given to foster parents.
In 1893, Calamity Jane started to appear in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show as a horse rider and a trick shooter. She also participated in the Pan-American Exposition. At that time, she was depressed and analcoholic. Jane’s addiction to liquor was evident even in her younger years. For example, on June 10, 1876, she rented a horse and buggy in Cheyenne for a mile-or-so joy ride to Fort Russell and back, but Calamity was so drunk that she passed right by her destination without noticing it and finally ended up about 90 miles away at Fort Laramie.
By the turn of the century, Madame Dora DuFran was still going strong when Jane returned to the Black Hills in 1903. For the next few months, Jane earned her keep by cooking and doing the laundry for Dora’s brothel girls in Belle Fourche. In July, she travelled to Terry, South Dakota. While staying in the Calloway Hotel on August 1, 1903, she died at the age of 51. It was reported that she had been drinking heavily on board a train and became very ill. The train's conductor carried her off the train and to a cabin, where she died soon after. In her belongings, a bundle of letters to her daughter was found, which she had never sent. Some of these letters were set to music in an art song cycle by 20th century composer Libby Larsen called Songs From Letters.
Calamity Jane was buried at Mount Moriah Cemetery (South Dakota), next to Wild Bill Hickok. Four of the men who planned her funeral (Albert Malter, Frank Ankeney, Jim Carson, and Anson Higby) later stated that since Wild Bill Hickok had “absolutely no use” for Jane 
Calamity Jane was a frequent visitor to and sometimes resident of Livingston, Montana and towns in the Paradise Valley (Montana)

Confusing and Amazing Things of Earth and Space

The Horsehead Nebula














Another space phenomenon found in the Orion constellation is the Horsehead Nebula. First seen in 1888, the Horsehead Nebula is part of the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex and is a dark cloud of swirling dust that blocks the light from the bright red emission nebula behind it. Bringing the Horsehead Nebula down to Earth, South Park’s character, “Biggest Douche in the universe,” was from this randomly formed cloud.


Halley’s Comet

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Many of us remember Halley’s Comet’s last approach in 1986, and if you were young at that time you may have yet another chance within your lifetime to see this phenomenon; the next scheduled passing is in 2061.

Hypersonic Jets

Hypersonic Jets

In aerodynamics, hypersonic speeds is one that is supersonic. Since the 1970s, the term hasbeen generally supposed to refer to speeds of Mach 5 (5 times thespeed sound) and above.The hypersonic regime is a subset of the supersonic regime.

The precision of the Mach number at which a trade can be said to be flying at hypersonic speed is difficult to achieve, especially because the physical changes in the flow of air (molecular dissociation, ionization) occur at very different rates. Usually a combination ofeffects to be important "as a whole" around Mach 5. The hypersonic regime is often defined as the ramjet speed produces no net thrust.



Classification schemes Mach
Although the terms "subsonic" and "Supersonic" in the purest sense refers to verbal speeds below and above the local speed of sound, respectively, aerodynamics often use the same terms to discuss particular ranges of values Mach. This is due to the presence of a "transonicregime" around M = 1, where the approximations of the Navier-Stokes used to designsubsonic really no longer apply, the easiest of the many reasons is that the local level flowbegins to exceed M = 1, even when the free stream Mach number is below this value.
Meanwhile, the "supersonic regime" is usually used to talk about all the Mach numbers thatlinear theory can be used where, for example, the flow (air) is the chemical reaction, and where the transfer heat between the air and the vehicle can be reasonably neglected in the calculations.
The following table, the "regimes" or "ranges of Mach" refers, not "pure", the meanings of the words "subsonic" and "Supersonic."
In general, NASA defines "high" hypersonic Mach any number of 10 to 25, and re-entry speeds of something greater than Mach 25. Aircraft operating in this regime include the Space Shuttle and various planes of space development.

 facts about each Earth

Earth is the only planet in the Solar System with plate tectonics. The outer crust of the Earth is broken up into regions known as tectonic plates

mars:
Scientists believe that 3.5 billion years ago, Mars experienced the largest known floods in the solar system. This water may even have pooled into lakes or shallow oceans.

Guatemala:




Its a mural about revolucion october 1944



El Choque

El Choque: its a mural about the repesentation of the conquist 1524



in my opinion those murals are a good art of the artist in Guatemala
