2016 could be the worst year in history

Although it has not ended, 2016 seems to be one of the most turbulent years before.

Lately, more and more users put their social network following question: ,, 2016 is the worst year in history? ". I do not know for sure if so many negative events happened but so far seem to confirm this thing.

Refugee crisis, the increasing terrorism in Europe, Brexit site, attempted coup in Turkey, spread of virus Zika and increasing racial tension in the US are just some of the phenomena that confirms the theories of those who believe that since we are in the worst in history. Fears are even higher as Donald Trump seems increasingly closer to take over the reins of power in the US.

Throughout history, different years were proposed as ,, the worst of all time. "One of the most important examples is considered 1347, when the epidemic broke out in Europe known as the Great Plague ,,". For 3 years the plague killed a third of the population of the old continent, causing thousands of victims before the Asian territory. Another period considered to be devastating for humanity was between 1942-1943. Then Holocaust reaches its peak, the phenomenon is stopped only at the end of World War II.

Some argue that all the negative events that happen today originated in 1914, which is why it should be considered ,, the worst year in history. "This theory is based on the fact that World War I had as effects: the start of the Bolshevik Revolution, the spread of Nazism in Germany, triggering Holocaust, design and use of the atomic bomb, the explosion of warfare Cold and cloudy situation of Muslim states.

Stability emerged after the fall of the Berlin Wall was suddenly interrupted on 11 September 2001. Some theorists say that since then, humanity is going through another period of uncertainty, and 2016 as its peak.

A team of American researchers has discovered a new type of fire

A team of American researchers has discovered a new type of ... fire. Experts have said that ,, blue spiral "that identified it is similar to those formed during tornadoes and that it could be used to create clean fuel, but also to clean oil films emerging in seas and oceans from accidental spills.

Turns are made up of a core of fire, around which air columns appear invisible to the naked eye. The phenomena of this type occur naturally during fires and strong winds and because the burning fuel efficiency, could be used to clean up oil spilled in the waters of seas and oceans.

During an experiment, a team of researchers from the University of Maryland simulated in the laboratory how to produce oil spills, positioning above the water half-cylinder of quartz to create fire whirls. At that time, scientists have found that vortex that I was provoked into a whirl of yellow and blue color first suggesting the presence of soot particles and the second draft fuel combustion process.



Scientists have said that the second color of the flame is the most important because it indicates that the carbon dioxide released is much smaller than in a normal combustion.

Although the claim that the gap formed between the flame and the surface entails maintaining fire can tell researchers do not know yet why he burned this way: ,, Normally, a coil of fire is turbulent, but it is very quiet and stable, without showing visible or audible signs of turbulence. It is an intriguing discovery, which offers numerous possibilities both inside and outside the laboratory, "says Xiao Huahua, one of the team of investigation.

Scientists have proposed to carry out the experiment and their research outside the lab. In this regard, the experts are expected to use fire turns to clean oil from the surface of seas and oceans occurred during discharge. Moreover, scientists discovered the phenomenon say that will help them better understand the mechanics of fluids.

A special cosmic phenomenon will happen in August.The Event Will Be seen from anywhere in the world, with the naked eye.

In case you missed alignment of the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn earlier this year, you'll have the opportunity to be witnessing a similar event to be held in August. The same five planets will be visible after sunset and before sunrise is not, as has been the case with previous phenomenon.

According to researcher Dr. Alan Duffy (Swinburne University in Melbourne, Australia), planetary alignment can be best seen in August 21.

The astronomical phenomenon can be observed most clearly after sunset, at which Mercury and Venus will be at the smallest distance from the solar orb. For example, Venus will be positioned at a time, at an angle of only 10 degrees from the sun.

Venus and Jupiter will be most easily seen with the naked eye, since they are some of the largest cosmic objects in the Solar System. Mercury, Mars and Saturn will be also sighted in the sky, but they will be less visible.

The alignment of Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Saturn can be seen from any place on Earth, and if you miss and this event will have the opportunity to witness one similar to what will occur in October 2018

What exists inside a black hole. '' They are more beautiful and more complex than what was previously thought '

The theory is based on the use of known properties of the invariant



American physicists have come up with a new method by means of which might find out what is beyond the horizon of a black hole's event. Thus, scientists will be able to make a clearer picture of the internal structure of these mysterious cosmic objects.

Scientists say that studying black holes is like doing science in reverse. Normally, when observed fenonomen again, he is analyzed, explained and classified using a theory, most likely with the help of mathematical calculations. When it comes to exploring black holes, astronomers must first come up with hypotheses, carry out mathematical calculations and only then realize how they can see what they think is there.

A team of researchers from Johns Hopkins University and Towson argues that, in the process mentioned above, there is a problem namely physicists built their assumptions about how black holes are structured solely on compliance of certain mathematical coordinates. This explains the fact that, over time, astronomers have obtained different results on the internal structure of black holes, because they chose different sets of coordinates.



The research team led by physicist Kielan Wilcomb (Towson University), believes that in order to realize what is inside a black hole, we should focus the attention on analyzing properties ,, known as invariant ". experts say they will solve the problem of mathematical calculations made differently because they have the same value, regardless of the chosen coordinates.



This week, as part of the 228-meeting of the American Astronomical Society, in San Diego, Kielan Wilcomb noted that, until now, were discovered 17 invariants in the curvature of space-time, and they could study inside black holes. However, because of certain mathematical relationships between these properties, only five of which are independent safety.

Physicists have published their results on the website arXiv.org, because other colleagues of theirs can use the five invariants to try to reconstruct the inner structure of a hypothetical black holes. Until their results to be verified by experts, specialists tried to find out on your own what you can find inside a cosmic object astlfe: ,, I calculated all invariants independent black holes and discovered that within them lies areas more beautiful and more complex than what was previously thought, "said Wilcomb the American Astronomical Society meeting.
