In the 30-years war was the leader of the Catholic troops the man named Albrecht von Wallenstein (1583-1684) General Wallenstein had the big problem with the relationship about his men. Those men were mercenaries, whose mission was to fight for the holy league in the 30-years war. And the problem was, that general Wallenstein had to be with his men every time because if he were separated from his staff, somebody could promise the reward of his head.


Those mercenaries were loyal to the person, who paid the biggest salary, and that's why they were under the influence of the Swedish propaganda. If some Swedish or Lutheran agent would slip in the mercenaries camp and offer big enough reward, that would be the end of the life and career of general Wallenstein, who was actually murdered after the battle of Lüzern. This battle also ended the life of the King of Sweden Gustav II Adolph, and somebody claims that the King of Sweden was shot in purpose by the assassins, but that death might be an accident.


The death happens in 6. of October 1632. Death of General Wallenstein about two years after the death of Gustav II Adolph in 25. February 1634 was murder. The rank of the Wallenstein was actually duke, but I call him here as the general. This man was well known about his very serious relationship with astrology, and today I think that those horoscopes and predictions were coded orders for that military leader, and maybe those orders were sent to him the agent, who was working at the headquarters of Gustav II Adolph. And if there were an agent, who send the messages to Wallenstein, what were the plans of Swedish side, that general would not have problems to create the counter-tactics for that kind of thing.


When we think about the battle of Breitenfeld, and the situation, where von Pappenheim attacked seven times against Swedish cannons, we might think that this man made the attacks in purpose for confessing, that other side would not handle tactics, and maybe the purpose of those killings was clean the lines of Catholic side. Maybe Swedish forces would be suspected that action, what were made by Tilly in that field were made on purpose.


And when we are thinking about the possibility, that there was traitor near the King of Sweden, the death of the King in Lüzern caused the begin of the dystrophy of the monarchy of Sweden. The successor of the Gustav II Adolph was Queen Christina, who abdicated the crown. And that caused the rising of weak monarchs in the power of Sweden. When the king was not in his castle the things in the empire were not advanced, and that caused that the Swedish empire was left behind from other nations. The end of the empire was 1815 when Finland separated from Sweden and connected to Russian Empire.

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
