The problems with monasteries and other sacred places (Solovetsky Monastery Part III)

The problems with monasteries and other sacred places (Solovetsky Monastery Part III)

When we are seeing things like famous monasteries, we must understand that the original sacred places might be somewhere else than those monasteries. That means that even if the Solovetsky Monastery is on some island, the real holy place can be somewhere else on that island. The monastery might also be the "parade monastery", and only the "real members" of the brotherhood of monks are knowing the real place of the sacred thing.

And here we are going to see my favorite Monastery the Solovetsky Monastery,(1) what established by three monks, Sabbattius of Solovki (?-1435)(2) and two others Herman of Solovki (?-1479)(3) and Zosimas of Solovki (?-1478)(4). The death year of Sabbattius might also be 1436 if that man died in the new year. The thing is that there is a possibility that somebody gave orders on what kind of monastery must be built on the o Islands, and then after the death of Sabbattius, the other monks started to make the monastery.

So when I ask sometimes, did Sabbattius see the completed Monastery that means that the death year of that monk might be wrong, and the reason why I sometimes put the death year of Sabbattius as 1436 (the real was 1345) is that this man has mentioned as the establisher of the Solovki Monastery. So did Sabbattius order the building in his last will, or did he the supervisor of the work. Was the timeline of the Solovetsky Monastery began in the time when the construction begins? Or does it begin, when the first monks moved into the building? Did those monks supervise the building site themselves? Or did they hire a builder?

The thing that makes that monastery interesting is that the donation for Solovky Monastery was given by a noblewoman Marfa Boretskaya (5). The thing was that this was not a very usual thing in Russia or Novgorod. Normally women were not own land.

But the thing is that Marfa Boretskaya leads the Novgorod struggle against Grand Duchy of Moskva (6) after her husband died. So how those monks even dare to take that donation, because that could mean death if Tsar could know that thing when Novgorod lost the war. And another thing that makes that donation interesting is that even today Orthodox church is very patriarchal. So why they accepted the donation?

If Sabbattius got the instructions from somebody, who is removed from history, those orders might include orders that the instructions must be given when Sabbattius was old enough. Maybe the building instructions gave in his last will. And he should ever mention the name of the person, who gave those instructions. If Sabbattius was dead, nobody could ask that for him.

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 ...
