The origin of Christmas

The origin of Christmas

Is the time of human pregnancy caused that the Chrismas is located in the place, where it is now. If the baby born in Autumn, that thing makes sure that there would be fewer bugs, enough food, and a comfortable temperature than in summer. So could this the reason, why the Chrismas night is 24. December.

There are 280 days from Christmas to the end of September. Baby what would be born in that time would get the fresh potato straight from the farm if the born happens at that moment, because of the potato harvest would be ready in the Autumn. This thing would make children stronger because mothers would get more fresh and safe food at that time than if the children are born in earlier when the food was old, and storages wait for new corn and potato, what was allowed to get at autumn.  But there can be other reasons, why Christmas is in a certain place in the calendar.

So the fact in the Chrismas is that the moment or date of that thing can be moved after the Holy Bible has been written. For the rulers in the Medieval period had glory, that they were born on the same day with Jesus Christ. And there is a possibility, that even if there was live a man with that name in Palestine at the begin of our era, that doesn't necessarily mean that this man was the same Jesus, what has the creator of our religion.

Or that man was born on the 24. December. The real day of birth could be different than what has been marked in the books. And if somebody claimed in the Medieval period or some absolute monarchy of Luis XIV that the king was not right, that meant execution immediately. So if the king wanted, the birthday of Jesus marked as the majesty wants.

But I think that the place of modern Christmas is caused because of the length of human pregnancy. If the baby was born in Autumn, that caused that the temperature was more comfortable than in summer. There are not so many mosquitos and snakes, and the potatoes and corn are just taken from the field to storage, which means that there was enough food for the mother. And this might be the reason, why Christmas is located at that certain point in the almanac.

And at least I must say that the Santa-Claus might not have an original connection with Christmas. Here I mean that the modern Chrismas is a little bit different than the Christmas even 100 years ago. In the medieval period about 700 years ago religion had a very strong influence on the life of normal people. And that means that the mean of Chrismas is chancing all the time.

Thermites and their relationship with a fungus and spaceflights

Thermites and their relationship with a fungus and spaceflights

Thermites have a symbiotic relationship with fungus, what mission is to transform woody material into the form, that fits nutrient for those bugs. The idea in this symbiosis is that thermites would bring fungus to the fungus, which will handle that material outside the bodies of thermites. 

This kind of symbiosis is interesting because that would bring many visions in the eyes of the researchers and futurologists. The fungus that can use as a nutrient for long space flights might give protein and another kind of thing on the saucer of astronauts. 

But as you see fungus or mushrooms, what is the common name for that organism, what is not animal or vegetable. The fungus has a very big role in the forest ecosystem because it scatters organic waste. And that process could be suitable for a long term spaceflights when the organic material should be recycled for the plantations.

Even if we are thinking about the food, what astronauts eat are mainly planned to be vegetables, fungus or mushrooms might also be used as a food in the interplanetary spaceflights. When we are thinking about the cleaning of air inside the spacecraft, the alga would be suitable for delivering oxygen in the air. And the reason for that is that green alga is a very good food. 

The bio-cleaning or biological life support system would grow that alga in the closed containers. In some visions, the containers would be like test tubes, which are involving nutrient liquid. And the ultraviolet light would adjust the photosynthesis. 

Idea is that the intelligent system detects the level of carbon dioxide and damp in the air, and then the rest of the systems like UV-lights and temperature will be adjusted. Those biological life support systems that are basing the organism, which is suitable for a nutrient can also put in the spacesuit. In this case, the spacesuit would allow making spacewalks, which takes a year. In the future, this kind of "Closed-cycle" life support system could installed in a spacesuit. 

That thing makes possible to save the astronauts even from far away from Earth if they could eat "green juice" or alga-shake. But that is one vision of tomorrow, what can be someday possible. Biological life support systems have one benefit, it can create oxygen and offer food to astronauts. 

If some things can be used for many purposes, that thing can also save the space inside spacecraft. But also the system must somehow benefit the organic waste, and one of the methods is to use the fungus for scattering and handling that kind of material. And when we are looking for a replacer of meat in the food, the fungus would allow a very good solution in food production, if we think the replacement of the meat.
