Japan looks for the person who built a road on the largest lake in the country. Does not lead anywhere

Japan It usually fascinates by The unknown and sometimes inexplicable From our western culture (also It happens to them with us). In a country where many words They don’t even have a translation To our language (or They need a phrase), there are countless situations that cause us curiosity. Then there is another set of stories that not only fascinate us, but also. This is one of them, and it started when someone saw something certain. The road. We are in one of the most famous places in the Japanese country. Located in the center-west of the island of Honshu, in the prefecture of Shiga, northwest of Kyoto, is the monumental Biwa Lakethe most extensive in Japan occupying an area of ​​670 square kilometers. Well, the country lives immersed in a mystery that hardly has a logical explanation: someone has built without permission A road on the lake. And it does not carry anywhere. Lake Biwa from space The Chivatazo. The story began last year, when the Anonymous report He arrived at the Civil Engineering offices of the city of Takashima, Shiga Prefecture. This document reported a strange sighting in Biwa. Someone had built what seemed like a road on the largest lake in Japan. An investigation not only verified the track, but also the measures of that mysterious construction. It was a road about 70 meters long and 3 meters wide made of compacted ground that connected two geographical accidents in the Delta del Río Ado. In addition, you could see tire footprints, which clearly indicates some type of use. Google Maps. The satellite tools like Google Maps gave another track of the antiquity of the road. The satellite shots taken three years ago showed nothing similar to a embankment or road, nor of sediments that indicated some kind of natural formation, and Shiga’s prefecture claimed that “until May last year, the road nobody had confirmed the road.” Location of the “road” on Google Maps Visible. From Google Maps Today it is appreciated that the road has suffered considerable wear, probably due to the water rise. In fact, the area close to the site in question is a wetland that even the locals can access. Takashima residents have no idea, since no one ever goes to that area, “there is nothing to do except that hornets or wild boars,” The premises point out. Television travels. The ball became bigger. If nothing and no one used to approach the surroundings of the construction, who and why the hell did such a work? History has taken such a traction that up there local televisions have been displaced. One of the reporters indicated that when he arrived, he observed that the poor condition had made several areas, which betrayed pieces “that looked like asphalt, iron and concrete.” The last track. After the initial notice, the Department of Civil Engineering reported on the road to the Police. Three days later, the authorities received a call from an anonymous person who told them that he had been the author, and that he had piled up land to make the way. The Civil Engineering Department ordered the person to return the area to their original state. A mystery without logic. If you have come here it is possible that you want to know the reason or reason that led whoever was going to build a road on the most extensive lake in Japan. We talk about a work of days and a lot of work for a single person, one who, apparently, makes no sense. That data Police have not given itand it is only known that there is an accusation for unauthorized development, although the person after the call has not appeared so far. Meanwhile, a year later since the Prefecture instructed those who filled the area to restore it to its original state, but the path that leads to nowhere is still there.

Nothing like a dog or cat behaving like a person. That is why the Pet dramas made with ia

Although seven years ago of “We have to invent dramas“, The phrase has not lost an apex of current affairs. In 2025, in fact, the dramas that we are inventing are the pet dramas: videos in which pets exquisitely characterized as people interact with humans or other animals, reaching millions of visualizations. Of course, All generated with artificial intelligence. What are they. The concept is so simple that it is overwhelming. Extremely short videos, no more than 90 seconds, generated by AI and with animals carrying out completely human behaviors. But not anthropomorphized animals in the Disney style: animals often dressed in person’s clothes, yes, but with absolutely faithful faces to its royal counterparts, which wraps everything in a very curious air of nightmare solemnity. The phenomenon is originally from China and some videos have already exceeded 200 million views. 11 tricks to dominate Tik tok They are like people. The indisputable hook of these videos is the ability to emotionally connect with audiences around the world, since they reflect feelings with which we can identify ourselves at a global scale (rescue stories, melodramas, romance, all with the level of “beautiful” to maximum power). The ease of videos to connect with other fashion trends in social networks, such as Chinese microdramas Or the reactions videos have made the rest. Some examples. There are multiple accounts that are developing pieces that can be attached to the PET dramas, but are complicated to locate outside China without knowing the language. Some western accounts such as Petdrama93 In Tiktok or Pet drama On YouTube they extract and adapt original Chinese videos, and are among the first to take advantage of the trend outside Asia. Something similar does bichon.chon_lifethat combines surrealism and hyperrealism with the adventures of a Maltese bichon in Korea. But the authentic enjundia is in Chinese accounts difficult to track and that others like Orangecats29 They take the opportunity to hack. Quite possibly we will soon see here series of microvidearly from the Asian country as ‘His Highness Bichon Rules The Empire’, a series of historical setting on a Maltese bichon that claims its real title after growing in an orphanage. Or ‘The Cat Daddy Chronicles’, on a feline that raises a human baby. According to media like 8days its creators are greatly profiting the phenomenon, so we will not take long to see their arrival to other countries. Pets on the Internet. These videos by AI are just one more step in the humanization of domestic animals that has been living in social networks for years. Cats like Internet stars They are an already studied phenomenon, but in recent years it has been accentuated with movements such as Pet parenting: The increasingly accused trend of treating company animals as full members of the family, and even as children. He Birth decreasehe Delay in the formation of traditional families And the increase in loneliness in large cities are some of the reasons for this change in our perception of domestic animals. More human than humans. Pets have gone from being simple pets to occupy a central place in the family structure and digital narrative, and now it is the cats and dogs who have their social accounts and They become Influencers. The step towards total humanization and put them to raise babies or save humans (or dress poles and shoes) was sung.

Ozores was a day the most important person in Spain. To the point of delaying the premiere of ‘The Empire Contraataca’

He has died Mariano Ozoresone of the best known and box office directors in the history of Spanish cinema. Although his cinema has always been despised by critics, his films were infallible blockbusters that put on his competitors on his competitors. Including ‘Star Wars’, whose first sequel had to give in to the overwhelming power of Pajares and Esteso. Long live ozores. Mariano Ozores was one of the main exponents of the Spanish popular comedy since the sixties. His ability to connect with the public was notable thanks to a style that balanced the accessible and the irreverent: as Bruguera of flesh and blood bruguerahis films were simple in the form, but corrosive in what was navigating below. The costumbrista typology, the Spanish scenarios, the explosive humor: key was its style, for example, to strengthen what was known as’Landism‘, pure Hispanic anthropology with the best comedy deals of the time. Great successes. In addition to the films with Alfredo Landa, without a doubt his greatest successes were the ones he signed at the service of Andrés Pajares and Fernando Esteso. With them he signed the legendary ‘Los Bingueros’, sociological phenomenon and more grossing film of that year in Spain, but also ‘The Energy’, ‘Los Liantes’ or ‘Father there are nothing more than two’, up to a total of nine. The 96 films of his vast filmography They were seen for about 90 million viewers. He was the authentic author of the Spanish commercial cinema, when those things made no sense in our industry. Fast, quickly. In 1980, Pajares, Esteso and Ozores had collaborated three times: ‘Los Bingueros’ took the cinema to million and a half spectators and their immediate continuation, ‘The Energy’, of that same year, also went from one million audiences. In both cases they were very short -term films, as usual in the cinema invoiced at infernal speed at the time: ‘Los Bingueros’ was shot taking advantage of the legalization of bingos in Spain; ‘The energy’ was inspired by A nuclear accident in Pennsylvania that horrified the world. The following, take advantage of the international success of ‘Rocky’ in 1976 and ‘Rocky II’ in 1979. Roque III, our Rocky. In just twenty days, Esteso, Pajares and Ozores have their parody, ‘I did Roque III’, where Pajares gives life to Roque Third, a sparrow who lives at a friend’s house, a former Jockey come less. To remove it from Enmedio, the friend decides to take advantage of Roque’s past as an amateur boxer and convinces him to face the national welter champion, Kid Botija. By the way, this boxer named Mortadeliano gives life nothing less than Dum Dum Pacheco, champion of the time whose life, between excesses, fame and prisons, gives for several chronicles and It is currently claiming. Darth Vader reculates. The journalist Juan Sanguino tells it in the documentary ‘Pajares & Cía‘: The power of Pajares and Esteso at a box office to Fox, who decide to delay the premiere of’ The Empire counterattack ‘on the planned date, so as not to coincide with’ I made Roque III ‘. This premieres on September 19, 1980 and the ‘Star Wars’ movie, October 3. “They were the real phenomenon, the real Blockbuster“Sanguino says. Ozores can boast of being the only Spanish filmmaker who has bent to the almighty franchise.

If you think you are not the same person after a long shift, the science of being right. The reason is in the brain

Fatigue can affect us in different ways and the different contexts, it is something that we have surely perceived in our own meats, trying to remain awake at night, studying before an exam or during a prolonged trip. Also, it is likely, we have noticed it after a work day that for some reason we can have lengthened. Significant changes. A study has detected Neurological changes in professionals prolonged working hours. The study was conducted in health professionals who faced days above 52 hours per week. “The overfracha can induce neuroadotative changes that can affect cognitive and emotional health,” Explain the team responsible for the study. Although it is a pilot study, which implies caution when drawing conclusions, the work provides new evidence on the impact of excess work on our well -being and in our productivity. The price of excess work. The global cost of excess work It is considerable. Beyond conventional occupational hazards, overfracha It has been related with an increase in the risk associated with cardiovascular diseases or metabolic disorders, among other problems. Recently, A study Posted in the magazine Environment International He estimated in almost 750,000 deaths attributable to excess work in 2016. This resulted in the loss of more than 23 million years of life adjusted by disability (Daly) linked to certain cardiovascular diseases. Excess work, marked in the brain. In addition to physiological problems, excess work can also cause mental health problems. In an effort to better understand their neurological context, the team responsible for the new study began studying the brain of professionals in a field, that of medicine, where marathon days are relatively common. The team He turned to the Gachon Regional Cohort (Grocs) to obtain certain data, which complemented with magnetic resonance scanning, for which they had a total of 110 participants, the majority sanitary. 32 of the participants (28%) met the requirements to be included in the group of those who worked in excess, while the rest would have “standard” days. To study the changes, the team resorted to a technique called voxel -based morphometry (VBM), a useful technique when identifying and comparing regional differences in the gray matter of the brain. Changes in 17 brain regions. They ran into significant changes in some regions related to executive function and emotional regulation. An example cited by the team is in A 19% increase In the volume of the average frontal turn, an area involved in key cognitive functions. The analysis allowed to detect increases in 17 regions of the brain. One of these areas was the upper frontal turn, an area involved in attention, planning and decision making. Another area of ​​interest was the insula, key zone in the integration of sensory stimuli and engines, but also in emotional processing and understanding of the social context, the team points out. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Occupational & Environmental Medicine. Small scale. The team itself warns that there are limitations that imply the need to be cautious in the interpretation of the results. For example, this is a pilot study on a limited sample of participants. In addition, experimental and control groups are not random, which implies a possibility of self -selection and with it a possible bias in the analysis.

We have been asking who is the oldest person in history to be recorded on video for years. And maybe it’s a Pope

The history of art is the history of its protagonists. And that includes both its great creators, so let’s talk about painting, sculpture, poetry or music, as well as their patron, muses and models. Da Vinci It has been fascinating for years to historians, but it is difficult to address their biography without explaining at least past who was Lisa Gherardinithe woman who probably inspired the celebrated ‘Mona Lisa’. The same goes for the enigmatic Elisa to which Ludwig Van Beethoven dedicated her catchy Bagatela Woo 59 either Margherita LutiRafel’s great muse. With photography and cinema something similar happens. And although their origins are more recent than those of painting, music or sculpture, historians who take care of their study face questions equally complex and fascinating: who was The first person to go out in a photo? And the oldest? Who is it The oldest voice captured in a support that allows us to reproduce it? And if we talk about cinema, Who is the oldest person filmed? Did technology and art arrive in time to capture in a recording the gestures and movements of someone born in the eighteenth century, which saw the French revolution wave War of Independence from the US? And if so, can we see it? The “vestustos” of the image and sound The question is fascinating because photography has allowed us to see static images of people born in the 18th. This is the case of Conrad Heyera veteran of the US War of Independence that was born in 1749. He was portrayed in 1852, with more than 100 years, thanks to the technique of daguerreotype, so There are those who believe which is the most ancient person (not the first photo, eye) photographed. The title nevertheless has some “but” than another. Heyer’s image is fascinating, but Other experts think that if we talk about vetustez the merit of being the oldest person portrayed with a camera is John Adamsa worker of Worcester born a few years before Heyer, in 1745. Other sources speak of a slave named Caesar, protagonist of a 1851 daguerreotype conserved in New York Historical Society and who in theory was born in New York in 1737. If what we are talking about is about the voice, the story is equally fascinating. We keep A recording 10 seconds from 1860 Taken with a spell and that is attributed to Édouard-Léon Scott by Martinvillea French inventor born in the Paris of 1817. Again if what we are talking about is of antiquity, perhaps The most ancient voice that we keep engraved is nevertheless Helmulth von Moltkea Prussian marshal who lent several recordings at the end of the 1880s. The surprising thing is when Moltke was born: in 1800. And at the dawn of the cinema? Who is the oldest person than we keep a moving recording? The answer is complicated again, although equally surprising. At the end of the 1870s EADWEARD VERYBRIDGE elaborated in A protopeic in which you can see the gallop of a horse with your rider. Your identity? Some sources They point to C. Marvinborn In 1839. If it scratches in the origins of the celluloid it is, however, to meet even older “actors”. And also some other surprise. For example, It is usual that when talking about the oldest person ever filmed, the looks are directed to one of the great personalities of the nineteenth century, the Pope Leo XIIIwho also holds the merit of having been The first Pope filmed. The movie, by William Kennedy Dickson For the Biograph company, was shot in 1898 (there is who attributes it to Vittorio Calcina and the date in 1896) and although it is fascinating and iconic, any Oscar will hardly win. After all, he shows the Supreme Pontiff in more or less everyday situations: on a car or sitting in a chair in the Vatican gardens while making a blessing in the camera. The really surprising is not however What does Leo XIII doif it is the first pontiff recorded in a movie or who, when and where he took those images for history, but the year of birth of the Pope: Leo XIII He was born in the Lacio region with the name of Gioacchino Vincenzo Raffaele Luigi Pecci in March 1810. That is, for ten years he was not a character of the XVIII. Does that become the oldest person ever filmed? Depends. For some The answer is yes. For others that merit is not so clear. In the articles that address the subject, there is talk of a Rebecca Clark allegedly born in 1804 or Mammy Louof the same year. However, there would be an older candidate, a figure that once aroused much less interest than Leo XIII and to which, therefore, it is also more difficult to follow the historical clue: dismiss. That your name does not tell you anything is understandable. Despina was an old woman from the Balkans who among other tasks dedicated the hours to spinning wool in the company of her daughters. In 1905 it ended up portrayed in A brief movie that lasts a few seconds. The important thing is its date of birth: it is said that Despina was then 114, which would have been born at the end of the 18th century, In 1791. How did an old woman from Avdella end, then part of the Ottoman Empire, recorded spinning wool for the subsequent and turned into a key figure in the history of cinema? Simple: because it was the grandmother of Ianachia and Milton ManakiBalkan cinema pioneers and film authors ‘The weavers’. We already said it at the beginning: the history of art is the history of its creators … and of their circumstantial protagonistsamong which there are farmers, war veterans, shoemakers, centennial spinners and even a 19th -century Pope.

There is a person who knows more than anyone in the world about password robberies. And they just steal his

Troy hunt It has been for years warning us of the dangers of the passwords. It happened so often that it ended up turning those warnings In a project that has become a reference: Have I Been Pwned. And despite everything he knows, he has just fallen into a theft of credentials with the most common method of all: A Phishing email. Can happen to anyone. Hunt had in his blog how it fell into a very well elaborate trap: a phishing email that pretended to come from Mailchimpthe platform you use to distribute your newsletter. In the notice he was informed that he had received a spam complaint and that his shipping privileges in the service would be restricted. To solve it, yes, I could click on a button with a link. Why did that phishing work? As this expert explained, “I have received a ton of similar messages that I have always identified quickly”, but there was a critical factor that played against him: the moment in which he received it and read it. Hunt had Jet Lag and was very tired when he received the message, and did not think enough that something was not right. Difficult indications to identify. After clicking on the link, Hunt also noticed how his password manager did not autocomplete the details of his account (user and passwords, usually). This could have been an indication that the domain from which those credentials were requested was suspicious, but he himself indicated that many platforms record you in a domain (which the password manager keeps) and then authenticate you in another. Theft of their subscribers. Phishing’s attack caused the attackers to steal 16,000 records that belong to people who subscribed but also that he had already discharged from his Newsletter. Mailchimp keeps those registers for some reason. In these data, email, IPS and latitude and length addresses are included, however they do not point to the subscriber location. He has also been “Pwned”. The creator of the Have Ien Pwned site ended up adding the theft of his data to the database he uses on this platform, as was of rigor. As he pointed out in his blog, not to do it “it would have been a hypocrisy.” He also had the success of telling what had happened to him right away. If a message is super urgent, suspect. Phishing attacks usually always take advantage of being written with an urgency tone or message. If you don’t act, they try to tell you, something bad can happen to you. That is precisely why in these messages it is to try to keep the head cold and clear and not act instinctively or immediately. It is probably the great lesson that can be taken from this event. Passkeys help. Traditional passwords remain a potential threat to phishing attacks, but there is a method that helps us avoid that threat in particular: Passkeys or Paso Keyswhich make use of safe biometry. Its implementation, yes, is quite fragmentedbut we deposit confidence in a passkeys provider (such as Google either Applefor example) are undoubtedly An important element To add a remarkable safety layer, as well as the authentications in two steps (2FA) have been so far.

The US has drawn its polygraph. The person who leaked that Elon Musk has the secret plan of a war with China is sought

The story began Last Thursday. Apparently, the Pentagon had organized an informative meeting for Elon Musk. So far, all more or less “normal” The government role who has obtained the richest man in the world since Trump was re -elected. The problem was the task of the apparent meeting, According to the New York Times: Put Musk aware of the Military Secret Plan that has in the United States before a possible war war with China. The schism has been such that Pentagon itself seeks at this time to the culprit. Presidential denial. After the Times articlePresident Donald Trump did not take long in reject publicly The possibility that Musk has access to secret military plans related to a potential conflict with China. As we said, according to the newspaper, Musk would have been scheduled to receive a high -level informative session in the Pentagon on US military strategies against Chinawhat aroused concern due to their extensive commercial links With that country. Trump denied the existence of this session and said that, although Musk is significantly helping the government, identifying “waste, fraud and abuse,” It would not be appropriate Sharing high sensitivity information, emphasizing that, in his opinion, Musk himself would not want to put himself in that position. The visit and multiple interpretations. Musk, CEO of Spacex and Tesla, in addition to part -time government advisor, visited the pentagon the day after the exclusive Times, on Friday, March 22, and said A private meeting Of more than an hour with the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, and with the Vice Chief of the Joint General Staff, Admiral Christopher W. Gray. Originally, according to two officials cited by the TimesMusk was going to be received in “The Tank”, a high security conference room within the building, to discuss defense strategies in case of a confrontation with China. It was also mentioned that the meeting would include Admiral Samuel J. Paparo, head of the United States Indo-Pacific Command. However, this last session seems that It was finally canceled After the publication of the article. Musk finally met at the Office of the Secretary of Defense, not in the “Safe Sala”, which could have limited access to classified material. Postures and ambiguity. During an event in the Oval office in which Trump and Hegseth announced a new defense contract for the new Air Force hunting, Both denied The version of Times, describing it as “a false story.” Hegseth insisted that the visit It was informal and revolved around government efficiency issues. Trump claimed to have learned of the alleged classified session Through the newspaper And he declared that he had called his chief of Cabinet and Hegseth to confirm the veracity of the information, who discarded it as absurd. Despite this, Trump took the opportunity to underline that, due to Musk’s businesses in China, It would be reckless Share sensitive military plans, marking one of the clearest limits so far regarding the relationship between the tycoon and the administration. Lack of clarity. I counted in Another later article The Times there are areas Gray at the meeting. Neither Musk nor Hegseth answered questions from the press at the end of it. When questioned by a reporter of the Times about the content of the meeting, Hegseth replied Dry: “Why would I tell you?”, Before retiring without clarifications. A senior defense official, speaking under condition of anonymity, said Musk attended to provide, and not receive, an informative session focused on industrial policy and sharing experiences linked to their companies. Trump, meanwhile, He reaffirmed this version Subsequently, stating that the visit was related to Musk’s efforts to reduce the size of the government and improve the efficiency of public spending. Tension after controversy. Be that as it may, the United States Department of Defense has started formal investigationwhich includes the use of polygraph tests, to identify those responsible for internal leaks after the accusations arising around Musk’s recent visit to Pentagon. The decision was promoted after Musk itself publicly demandedthrough Your social network Xthe prosecution of Pentagon officials that would be disseminating “maliciously false information” about their relationship with the military institution. Criminal implications. Before the magnitude of the scandal, Joe Kasper, Hegseth Cabinet Chief, announced the immediate start of research to identify unauthorized leaks of information on national security. In a memorandum issued on March 21, Kasper indicated that the investigation will collect A complete record of unauthorized disseminations within the Department of Defense and will issue recommendations to improve confidentiality protocols. Who are responsible will be referred to criminal authorities corresponding for prosecution. This investigative offensive, which includes interrogations with lies detector, represents an unprecedented response within the American defense apparatus and reflects the level of concern generated by filtration. Tesla and China. The truth is that the controversy that has emerged is much less trivial, and has to do with the Musk’s delicate balance Between the two powers. Tesla, Musk’s automotive company, has been one of The big beneficiaries of Chinese policies in favor of electric vehicles. His factory in Shanghai is the biggest and company productive, and represents approximately 37% of its global sales. To fully operate in the country, Tesla has received incentivesregulatory approvals and privileged access to the market, including authorizations to display autonomous driving technology. Starlink and China. In parallel, Spacex and its Starlink satellite system, essential for the operations of the Department of Defense, place Musk in a dual position: as a key supplier for the national security of the United States and as an entrepreneur with strong interests in a rival power. Dissonance becomes even more evident for the past comments of Musk himself, who Taiwan has described as “an integral part of China” and has proposed a reintegration model similar to Hong Kong’s, ideas that have been Well received in Beijing But harshly criticized by Taipei and by US officials. Concern in Congress. Had the weekend The Washington Post That both Republican and Democratic legislators have expressed concerns about how the Chinese Communist … Read more

If the question is how much money it exists in the world per person, this graphic developer has the answer

Imagine there was a form of distribute all money in cash of the world equitably between Each inhabitant of the planet. Thus, a Wisconsin farmer would have the same cash That a potter in New Delhi, a goat shepherd in Namibia or a dentist in Sydney. How much money You think it would correspond to each inhabitant? The short answer: everyone could Buy a Sandero Dacia. The world money supply is not the same as world wealth The modern economic system encompasses many financial and monetary elements that define the term of wealth. So one of the ways in which the exercise of imagination distribution of wealth that would allow mitigating world poverty can be distribute all money in cash that exists in monetary markets around the world. This “cash” money is known as M2 Prenss supply And it is an intermediate monetary aggregate that includes money in circulation from around the world and certain bank deposits with high liquidity and with a period of up to 2 years, savings and money market accounts, as well as deposits with availability with notice of up to three months. In other words, the monetary supply M2 is all that money you could have in your pocket in a relatively immediate way. The concept of monetary supply m2 differs from the Global wealth or heritage in which this includes assets and real estate properties or mercantile that, although they can have a lot of value, are not easily redeemable for Count and sound money. According to data collected by CEICM2’s money supply amounts to 123.3 billion (Europeans) of dollars In 2024. That is, joining all the effective of all the economies of the world, we would add that money. According to the report ‘Global Wealth Report 2024‘Prepared by UBS, the world’s private net richness in 2024 was encrypted in 487.9 billion dollars in total. To help us see that information in a more graphic way, in Visualcapitalist have created an infographic in which the M2 MONITORY OFFER DATA obtained by CEIC, and divides between the world population data registered by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. Distributing all world cash As we said, the world M2 money supply registered by the CEIC economic body in 2024 is 123,313 billion dollars (with the Anglo -Saxon system they would be trillion), while the data of the world population in 2024 reveal that we are currently 8,161,973,000 inhabitants In this little blue marble that we call planet Earth. The result of the equitable cast is that, each inhabitant of the planet would correspond 15,108 dollars Or, what is the same, about 13,944.28 euros to change. According to the Virtualcapitalist calculationsthat would be equivalent to the expenditure generated by the list of the purchase of an average home for two years, a second -hand car, or also reaches to buy a Sandero dacia. Without extras, yes. Spain is better for accounts If we repeat the same exercise, but circumscribing the data to the scope of Spain, the amount that each Spaniard would receive would be somewhat higher. According to CEIC’s records for Spain in December 2024the supply of monetary m2 available was 1,647,611,114 million dollars (or 1,648 billion dollars). On the other hand, the data of INE population count January 2025 left a total of 49,077,984 inhabitants in Spain. That lets us, by distributing the total of the money supply among the inhabitants of Spain, each would receive 33,571.29 dollars or some 30,967.97 euros to change.

The first person who made a crucial demonstration in nuclear physics was a Chinese woman from the 50s

In the 50s of the last century China was a very different country from the current one. He Chinese Communist Party Led by Mao Zedong he had defeated the nationalists who made up the Kuomintang After almost three decades of armed conflict. Imperial power He had disappeared and the country had embarked on very deep structural changes that culminated in the birth of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. The members of the Kuomintang retired to Taiwan that same year and left the land clear to the complex social, political and economic transformation that Mao Zedong had already pergeated. The new regime had erected on communist principles with the purpose of leaving behind many centuries of a feudal organization that had drastically limited the country’s development capacity. The problem was that their foundational tools were A strong ideological control and an aggressive political repression that did not admit any kind of opposition. So China was an eminently agricultural country that desired to modernize and go The same path of industrialization in which they had many decades plunged other nations, such as the United Kingdom, the USA, France, Belgium or Germany. The Mao government launched a very ambitious agrarian reform that pursued agricultural production and increase its efficiency. In this context, scientific development was an important part of its progressive strategy, but was subordinated to the ideological and political principles of the communist regime. This was not at all the ideal culture broth to flourish a young China passionate about science. And much less for nuclear physics. But he did. Chien-Shiung Wu had everything against him At the beginning of the 20th century, most women in China did not have the slightest opportunity to study. But Chien-Shiung Wu was special. He was born in 1912 in the province of Jiangsu, and when he was barely five or six years old, his parents realized that she was a very intelligent girl who was endowed with a curiosity and improper cunning of such a young person. Fortunately for her, her parents appreciated the value of education despite how difficult it was to a relatively humble family to access it. Wu was given mathematics and physics. He highlighted so much from his youth in these scientific disciplines that he managed to access higher physics studies in The prestigious Central National University (It is currently known as Nankín University). It is important that we do not overlook that at the beginning of the 30s of the 30s of the last century China was, as we have seen, a fundamentally agricultural country that was mired in the revolutionary seizure triggered by the disappearance of imperial power. In this social and political context it was very difficult for a woman to get access to university studies. And it was even more unlikely to stand out in a scientific career. But Chien-Shiung Wu did it. He graduated in Physics in 1934, and two years later he decided to travel to the US to complete his training. His extraordinary academic curriculum helped him be admitted at the University of California in Berkeley under the supervision of Ernest Lawrence, The inventor of the cyclotronand in 1940 he obtained his doctorate in Physics. From this moment on, a meteoric career began as a researcher specialized in gamma ray emission in particular, and in nuclear physics in general. Its domain of nuclear spectroscopy, a technique that serves to study the behavior of atomic nuclei observing the radiation they emit or absorbwas the presentation card that caused it to be signed by the Radiation Laboratory of the University of California. And shortly after, already in the middle of World War II, he participated in the Manhattan project as part of the Delegation of the University of Columbia (New York). His extraordinary academic curriculum helped him be admitted at the University of California in Berkeley under the supervision of Ernest Lawrence, the inventor of the cyclotron A good part of her professional career ran in this last institution as a researcher and starting professor, and during her early years at Columbia University was highly appreciated by other teachers and physics students for which she was her greatest contribution to the Manhattan project: The development of separation technology of uranium isotopes. However, their achievements had just begun. And it is that the work for which it has definitely gone into the history of physics came, as we have advanced in the head of this article, during the 50s. Wu has gone down in his experiments in nuclear physics In 1956 Chien-Shiung Wu designed a very ingenious experiment using cobalt-60 cooled to an extremely low temperature. Its purpose was to study whether electrons emitted in the presence of a magnetic field of great intensity are distributed asymmetrically, as theoretical physicists had hypothesized Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen Ning Yang, with which it collaborated. His experiment worked correctly, allowing WU to demonstrate that the emitted electrons During the disintegration process They were preferably dismissed in one direction. And not in a symmetrical way, as physicists believed so far. Wu’s experiment played a crucial role in the concession in 1957 of the Nobel Prize in Physics to the Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen None theorists This test has gone into the history of science as “the experiment of rape of Wu’s parity.” Its importance lies in its ability to demonstrate that in weak nuclear interaction, which is the fundamental force responsible for some atomic processes, such as, for example, Beta disintegration, Symmetry is not fulfilled. If we express it in this way it may not seem important, but it is. It is very important knowledge. In fact, he not only supported the theory of Beta Disintegration of Enrico Fermi; Without him, physicists would not have been able to elaborate the theories that currently shape the Standard model of particle physics. Wu’s experiment played a crucial role in the concession in 1957 of the Nobel Prize in Physics to Lee and Yang. Many scientists consider that the right thing … Read more
