Will Europe soon be facing a massive volcanic eruption?

-

Scientists have declared that the giant volcanic sites of southern Italy (Phlegraean Fields or Campi Flegrei) were huge reserves of magma as they were preparing to explode to "an indeterminate point in the future".
The large Campi Flegrei volcano is made up of 24 volcanic craters and scientists have discovered that it is recovering magma as part of the "pre-blast" transition phase.
Experts said no eruptions will be expected in the near future, but the volcano has shown signs of major unrest over the past 60 years.
When the volcano finally erupts, its explosion will probably be similar to that of Mount Vesuvius, which destroyed the cities of Pompey and Herculaneum.
The Phlegraean Fields (Campi Flegrei) are located about 14.5 km west of Naples (Napoli), one of the few active volcanoes in the world.
The volcano has not exploded since 1538 but it is capable of creating a "very big" eruption. Scientists have found evidence of such an event about 40,000 years ago.
The Campi Flegrei explosion will be the second largest category of volcanic eruptions, following the "massive explosions" of Yellowstone, and could cause widespread destruction throughout modern Europe.
"If this eruption occurs, the best estimate of its magnitude and behavior is that it will go from the last eruption of the Monte Novo volcano in 1583 to something similar to the eruption of Vesuvius that covered both Pompey and Herculaneum, "said Christopher Kilburn, a volcanologist at London College.
According to the scientists, 1.5 million people living around the Caldera (one of the geomorphological phenomena associated with volcanoes, word used to express large volcanic craters resembling large basins in volcanic peaks) are the most at risk in case of volcanic eruption.
The results of the study revealed that magma accumulated beneath the main volcano, indicating its entry into the next phase. Analysis of 23 rock and mineral samples from Campi Flegrei revealed slight changes in temperature, moisture content and magma.

These factors have been marked by "great periods of turmoil" since the 1950s, raising fears that the volcano will wake up at any time.

Leonardo Da Vinci was not wrong: New theory of energy production!

-

Leonardo Da Vinci was not wrong Leonardo Da Vinci was not mistaken when he designed a gravitational turbine which produces mechanical energy by exploiting the gravitational force and his idea has no relation to the term “perpetual motion”. I proved by precise calculations that it is a technical solution thanks to which gravity can become a source of renewable energy without violating any of the laws of thermodynamics. I think the term “perpetual motion” was coined to obscure a certain aspect of physics in order to protect the oil industry in the last century and prevent the teaching and the research in this branch of physics. If the turbine designed by Leonardo da Vinci falls under the term perpetual motion, what do you think of the spontaneous flow of water from a closed barrel connected to the sea on one side and open on the other, is it also perpetual motion? Of course not, because perpetual motion cannot exist in reality, and if there is motion, it means that the laws of thermodyna

How to choose the perfect Domain Name for Your Future Business!

When creating a brand, one of the first decisions to make is to select a domain name. This is an essential step to put a website online, to trade, to create e-mail addresses. It represents your first identity on the internet without which we can not find you and condition your presence on several search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo...  Your domain name should not be chosen by chance as it will be the first thing that will be typed by those who are looking for you on the web. It is important to reserve your domain name as soon as possible. The first come will be the first served even if the anteriority of your mark can allow you to recover sometimes this one. The choice of the domain name depends on the activity and geographical reach of your business and the purchase of a "Web identity" is not as simple as it seems. This choice will have an impact on the future success of your website, in terms of natural referencing including but also from a point of v

The perception of colors depends on the language!

Scientists from the University of Berlin have conducted a scientific study involving speakers of Greek, German and Russian. Their results showed that the human perception of color is related to the spoken language. According to the journal Psychological Science, scientists have relied on the well-known hypothesis of linguistic relativity that mental representations depend on linguistic categories, ie that the way in which the world is perceived depends on language, because linguists believe that learning a new language changes consciousness. The scientists chose  (47)  Russian ,  (29)  German and  (28)  Greek speakers for the study, with distinct words: blue and light blue (blue, turquoise, light blue). In German, one word expresses this color, the rest is called light blue. Scientists showed 13 triangles of different colors on a colored background, light blue on a blue background and light green on a dark green background. In five cases, the researchers left a blan
