Why did Neanderthals lose from earth?

In Spanish cave have been found paintings, what are made Neanderthals, the ancient humans, who were lost in history. Those humans were stronger than modern people, and they were quite intelligent. They had pikes and spears and they used clothes. This is what is known about those forefathers of the modern human. There were known that those ancient humans might have civilizations, if they had enough time to develop their culture, and the greatest lack of Neanderthals in the race against Cro-Magnon and modern human was the lack of alphabetical and phonetic writing, what allowed them to forward the wisdom of ancient generations for younger members of the community.

This made the forwarding traditions for younger generations impossible if something happened to the elder members of the community. The phonetic alphabet allowed to self-learning without elder people, and it gave the very good advantage for Cro-Magnons. If there were no written texts with instructions, how to make the bow or good spear, and what kind of flesh can people eat, all knowledge must be transferred to younger members of the group from the memory.

If something happened to elder persons, that information was ever given to the group. That might cause serious situation if some member of the group made food by using old flesh, where were botulism bacteria. That might cause very bad food poisoning for all group. But where those Neanderthals went? This is the very tricky question, and maybe one of the reasons, what caused the death to all those people, was some kind of epidemics. If those people got some infection, they would be killed, because nobody ever heard about the bacteria. The eating dead persons might be signed, that Neanderthal population was suffering genetic degeneration's, and this happened because those groups were quite small. Also, the illnesses transformed from dead Neanderthals to other members of the group during cannibalism.


This was caused the situation, that the babies were made with other members of the family. When the Ice Age came, the conditions of life were extremely hard. And because Neanderthals were not know how to make the tent, they were in trouble. Neanderthals were addicted to caves, and if snow filled that place, they were in trouble. Also, Cro-Magnon lived in caves, but they covered the entrance with sand. So there were very comfortable in that cave, and members of the team could trust together. They were not cannibals, and that made their group strong. And that was the necessary thing in the hard times like ice-age.

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.

  "An illustration of NASA’s research plane ER-2 flying over thunderstorms. Credit: University of Bergen / Mount Visual (CC BY 4.0), edited" (ScitechDaily, Surprising Discovery: NASA’s Retrofitted U2 Spy Plane Reveals Tropical Lightning Storms Are Radioactive) The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. 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.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (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
