Why Are Ravens very often identified with black magic?

Almost every person, who looks at Gothic art are noticed that those paintings and drawings are usually portrayed the black bird known as  Raven. Those birds are symbolizing black magic and witchcraft. But why that big crow is so often portrayed in that kind of art? The reason is that witches must hide their identity, and real witchcraft and black magic are actually making some poisons by using natural vegetables and mushrooms. But the problem with witches was that if they caught by sheriffs, they would die in the bonfire.


So the witches must grow their vegetables like Belladonna and destroy angels in far away from the house, where that person lives. And actually, they must use plantations, what looks like natural. And also they must know the location of those vegetables. They must use some bird, what was not suspicious as the pet, and also that bird must be easy to find if the looker knows the mark of the bird.  And the bird must be big enough that it would not be eaten by other birds.


Ravens are ideal for those works because they are quite big.  And also they are not any regular pets, and that’s why the witch can hide their real identity. Royal witches were not outside the law, and those persons must use those birds to look their poisonous vegetables because the king didn’t want to catch the connections for those people. Royal witch means the poison cooker, who cooked poison for royal showdowns, and their work was the little bit different than knights.


Of course, the king paid to those persons, but that thing was something, what the ruler of the state didn’t want other people to know.  Ravens have the good sense of smell, and they can find the needed mushrooms and vegetables by alone. They can be used in same missions with police's smelling dogs, but those birds can operate in the larger areas and more independently than dogs. And with GPS system those birds can be followed remotely as a group, what makes the number of needed persons smaller in that operation.


But there is more, what those black birds can do. They can be trained to find things, and those birds can be used as “dogs”. Those birds were used to find bodies from the forest, and they can also find living persons who are hiding in the crowd. So they can be used like dogs to find prison escapees. Ravens also can find narcotics. weapons and explosives very easily, and they can equip with small action cameras and GPS, what would help to follow those birds from the long distance. This is real-world black magic.

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

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. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. 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
