Why James Smithson gave his money to the United States by testament?

When chemist and mineralogist James Smithson (1765-1829) died in Genoa 1829 this man left all his property to the United States of America, and that's why there is a Smithsonian Institute in that country. That famous institute is behind many scientific theories and practical solutions. But the question is, why this man gave all his money to the United States is quite remarkable, thing, but the gift was accepted until 1835, and the institute was established in 1849.

Smithson ever visited in the United States and the reason why this man gave the money to the United States was that the first man, who suppose to take the property died nine years before Smithson, and that's why the money went to the United States. The reason, why Congress didn't accept the testament is claimed to be, that the relationship between Great Britain and the United States were tight, and that's why that money was not able to take until 1835.

Sometimes there were claiming, that somebody murdered beneficiary of the testament, and that's why money went to the USA. And the reason for that testament is claimed, that Smithson didn't accept Great Britain's social conservatism, and that was the reason for giving that money to the United States. But there might be another reason for that. Maybe Smithson took some money from the independence fighters and loaded them for those people before America started to fight for its independence.

Sometimes I have thought that if Smithson used his own name in that case, and changed money for independence fighters for buying the equipment to the independence fight, would that money hard to explain. And if Smithson would return the money, what left over after those purchases, would that man be in terrible trouble. So the Senate wait until Smithson was dead, and then allowed the return of that money. Maybe they except, that some persons, who would be suffered by those actions, were dead, and that was covered the secrets of the revolution.

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.

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
