Gottfried Heinrich Graf zu Pappenheim the another commander in the Battle of Lüzen


Man cannot step twice in the same river. 


Do you know who was Gottfried Heinrich Graf zu Pappenheim (1)(later just Pappenheim)(1594-1632) (image above)? That man was the commander of the Holy Roman Empire Army at Battle of Lüzen(2), and that man died eleven days later after Gustavus Adolphus or Gustav II Adolph in the same battle. The date of the death of Gustavus Adolphus was 6 November 1632. 


And the death of Pappenheim was 17 November 1632. Many times there are many mentions of the Gustav II Adolph (1594-1632)(3) when people are looking for information about the Battle of Lüzen, but Pappenheim is not so well known person in history. 


Some Greek philosophers said that a person cannot walk twice to the same river. And that thing means that the same person cannot make the same error twice. Those Greek philosophers ever met general Pappenheim, who attacked seven times in the same point the King of Sweden Gustav II Adolphs army at Breitenfeld. That maneuver meant that the Pappenheim's side lost that battle. Somebody asked, why the emperor let that man lead, although he caused that Tilly lost that battle. 


That person is listed as one of the worst military leaders ever. The thing is that Pappenheim is also a person who is remembered only one battle, and that man earned a reputation in many other battles, but then something happened, and the result was that this man is known only by the battle of Lüzen. In that battle also Gustav II Adolph fell, and that means that the Lüzen was a disaster for both sides. 


When we are looking at history, we are facing thing, that good thing what people are made are lost in the shadows of the losses. And the fatal mistake, what Pappenheim made was that he somehow forgot, where he was. So why that man was not in his level? There is one very good explanation for that thing, and that is that Pappenheim was changed to some other person, who gave the wrong orders in the purpose. 


Sometimes people are asking, why the death of Pappenheim is not mentioned so often. Many times people know, who was Gustav II Adolph, who also died in the same battle, but Pappenheim's name is not so well-known.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som...

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper?  The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown.  But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with t...

The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862)

Image I The interesting coincidence between  USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862) Far away from its time is the thing, that you might notice when you see those two images. The upper one (Image I) is portraying the modern naval USS Sea Shadow (IX-529)(1) experimental Stealth ship, which was created by Lockheed-Martin, and the image below (Image II) is portraying the CSS Virginia (2), the ironclad from the Civil War Era. The thing why the hull of the CSS Virginia, what is ironclad from 1862 is that the ammunition of the cannons would not transfer their impact energy to the hull of the ship. And the reason why Sea Shadows hull has this form is that it should point the radar echo away from the hull.  The thing that I must say that CSS Virginia is far ahead its time because that structure is effective against the explosive ammunition, and the slanting armor of tanks like T-34 and Sherman have made them effective. But for some reason, the use of slanting ...
