About the Finnish presidential election system

Kimmo Huosionmaa

As you probably have seen, we have the presidential election in Finland, and our election system goes like this: if some presidential candidate can´t get over 50 percent of given votes, will the election goes to the second round. And in that round are opposite two candidates, who got the two most number of votes in the first round. This is the law in Finland, but I must ask why this system is made? In this system, people of Finland have the chance to change the president in the second round, if some candidate couldn't get over 50 percent in the first round.

And I must ask where comes the number "50%"? What is the reason, why this text have been involved the Finnish law? In this type of election, where people elect the head of the state is normally need for only one round, but in Finnish law is text, that if some candidate would not get over 50% of votes, will there be another round. Somebody thinks that is the reason for denying the populist election, but in my mind, there should be another way to stop the dictator's election than another round, and in that case, there will be another round, that means that there are another elections in Finland.

The second round will not start immediately after the first round, and the candidates can make their campaigns after the first round. The reason for that is something, what I don't understand. Is there probably some new things, what the second round will come to the politics? I didn't mean this writing for any kind of provocation, but the question still is "why we have this election system?". Do we have the change to elect another president, if the leader of the elections doesn't get absolute strength in votes? And how many times the king of the votes have been changed during the second round?

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

"This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things. That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries. "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

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
