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?

Cristopher Columbus (1451-1506) (Wikipedia)

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"?

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines. The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
