Is the story about Luther and his theses literally true?

Martin  Luther
(1483-1546)



Have you ever noticed a strange thing in the picture of Martin Luther? His left eye seems not always painted in the same direction with the right eye, what might mean that his left eye might be blind. Or probably he had strabismus in that eye, but why the painter had put that thing so visible in his painting of the man, who became famous for his work as the church reformer and the man who created the Lutheran church. Is that eye injured something in his younghood, and does that presumable injury have something to do with his antisemitism?



When we are talking about Luther, we always forget, that nobody borns in age 40. So did he went to fight with some jews, and did something that happened in that fight cause that hates Jews? Or was Luther cover something with his hate? I read from some book that Luther had Jewish friends or at least mates, who visited at his home. So what Luther might cover, when he began to write anti-semitic writing named as “About Jews and their lies"?



Was he make business with Jews, and if theologian will uncover that he lends money from jews will everybody laugh to him. Or was the thing more serious? Was there something that drove that priest to break his connections with catholic church? Something that might cost his life. So was Luther a man who changed a place with somebody else? Was real Luther killed by that man hand, and did he took a place of his victim? Is that reason why he created a new church, where priests use people's language when they speak to normal people?



What was his motivation to begin that process, to start the reform for the church? Did he really want to establish the Lutheran church?  But there is one thing, what every investigator must know about this man, and other famous people in history, There are many text and fact about them, what is not literally true. Some texts for their life have written after their death because to protect that person’s real identity. So we might only guess where Martti Luther actually lived when he made his translation of Holy Bible. The biography might be true, but it might also be colored.


The facts what we read today might be written by some propaganda writers during 30 years war, where the King of Sweden and other protestants wanted to break catholic leagues lines by claiming that Luther was made translations of the Bible under the protection of some German prince. So when those writers wrote his biography, the outcome could be something, where Luther can’t even recognize himself. And that’s why those biographies are not always followed real life of that person.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

(Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments.

The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
