So who found America?

So who found America?

In the beginning, I must say that when we are talking about the finder of America we should rather say "the first European, who visited in America and made a document about that thing. Nowadays we know that Viking Leif Erikson(1)visited Nova Scotia and Newfoundland in the year 970 and he spent a year in that place.

But then we must ask the question, how Leif Erikson knew that there was land in the west? How did he dare to take his crew to Newfoundland? Could it be possible that he met some Indians in Iceland?

Did somebody tell Columbus about the existence of America? So did Columbus know the location of America, when he went on his famous journey in 1492?

We must understand that the places found when the ruler of the nation has been allowed to find them. So there is the possibility that Cristopher Columbus (1451-1506)(2) has known the existence of America, and if he knew that thing where did he get the information? When he started to sail to the new world in the year 1492 he went to the great unknown. America was not on the map during that time. How do you think that this man got financial support for his journey?

How did he confess his supporters about the existence of America? The thing is that Columbus was Italian, he was born in Genoa, and that caused his home language should be Italian or whatever was the language, what was spoken in that area. How did he confess the journey to America was economical and politically reasonable?

And was Columbus even the first European who visited America after Leif Erikson? (2) Were there some people between that Viking and Columbus, whoever wanted to tell about America to the king? Maybe those people were political refugees, who wanted to stay in that area, which was not on maps, because they might want to hide the Inquisition. This is only hypothetical thinking, but there is the possibility that some pirates or other kind of Europeans visited America before Columbus.

There should be some kind of proof that the journey was not made for nothing the three ships were delivered to his command. But the fact is that Columbus only sailed and mapped America during his three journeys. So who found America?

Many people think that Leif Erikson made the first settlement in Newfoundland in the year 970. The other thing is that there are stories that the Welsh or even the Ancient Phoenicians or Egyptians traveled across the Atlantic on purpose or accidentally. Or is it possible that some Indians like Pakal the Great have been traveled to Europe?

But the thing is that there is the possibility that the Arabic or Chinese explorers have traveled to America. But should we stop thinking about the people who have found America by using Europe as the center of the thinking? What if Chinese or some Eastern Russian explorers have been traveled to America before Columbus?

What if those people did not report their findings to their masters? We are almost sure that Polynesians visited the coast of America before Columbus. But when we are thinking about that mystery, we must ask how should we describe the words "finder of America"? Should we rather say "first European who visited America"?

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 ...
