What has happened will happen again; What has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun.
Is there anything that people can point to and say, "This is new?" I don't know, it already existed in our previous generation.
No one remembers past generations; Future generations will not be remembered by future generations.
These are the words of Solomon, the ancient king of Israel, in chapter 9 of Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament.
This is a law, the cycle of human society from prosperity to decline.
It is said that it is easier to conquer the world than to defend it.
When people experience hard work, they will prosper for a period of time, then they will be destroyed when they enjoy ease, they will work hard when they realize that this is not possible, and they will continue to be destroyed or even worse after ease.
2 Meeting before death
1On July 28th, 990, King Umberto I of Italy went to Moncha, a few miles from Milan, to prepare for the next day's prize presentation. That evening, the king went to a small restaurant for dinner and found that the owner's appearance and figure were very similar to his own. After talking, he found that they were born on the same day of the same year, with the same name and surname,1April 22, 868, and their wives' names were both Margarita. When the hotel opened, it was the day when the king ascended the throne, and both of them won the Medal of Courage at 1866. The shopkeeper was accidentally shot dead in the shooting the next day, and the king was killed by an assassin at gunpoint on the same day.
3. The mystery of assassination
Lincoln and Kennedy were assassinated, and they have many similarities:
Abraham lincoln entered Congress on 1846, and John F. Kennedy entered Congress on 1946, with an interval of 100.
Lincoln was elected president of the United States in 1860, and Kennedy was elected president of the United States in 1960, with an interval of 100.
Both of them have seven-letter surnames and have a special interest in civil rights.
Both wives had miscarriages while living in the White House.
Both men were assassinated on Friday.
Both were shot in the head.
Both killers are southerners.
Both presidential heirs are southerners, and their names are Johnson.
Lincoln's successor, andrew johnson, was born in 1808.
Lyndon B. Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.
John Wilkes Booth, the murderer of Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, the murderer of Kennedy, was born in 1939.
Lincoln's assassin ran out of a theater and was caught in a warehouse.
Kennedy's assassin ran out of a warehouse and was caught in a theater.
Before the trial began, both murderers were shot.
4. The mystery of Titanic shipwreck
Titanic wreck
1898, the British writer Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called in vain. This novel is about an unsinkable luxury ship named Titan, which made its maiden voyage from England to America on the other side of the ocean. It is the largest and most luxurious passenger ship in the history of human navigation, equipped with all the luxury facilities within its power at that time and full of rich passengers. People are having a good time on this huge ship. However, on its first voyage, the huge ship hit an iceberg and sank tragically, and many passengers were buried at the bottom of the sea. No one expected that the story written in this novel would become an unfortunate reality in fourteen years. On the evening of April 4, 2002, the largest luxury passenger ship, Titanic, sank due to an iceberg.
After the tragedy, someone thought of this novel, and there are many similarities between them:
Both ships sank on their first voyage because they hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic.
Name of Ship: Titan/Titanic
Sailing time: all in April, and the route is from Britain to the United States.
Month of death: April/April
Number of passengers and ships: 3000/2207.
Number of lifeboats: 24/20
Loading capacity: 75,000 tons/66,000 tons
Length: 800/882.5
Number of propellers: 3 /3
Velocity in collision: 25 knots /23 knots.
The reason for the large number of casualties among passengers is that there are not enough lifeboats on board.
5. Kurt's curse
The white house, the presidential palace
The famous "tecumseh curse" means that Americans have done something "unnatural". Some people think that this has led to the death of a president every 20 years since 1840, and only President Reagan, who was elected in 1980, escaped.
Harrison Sr is 184 1 the ninth president of the United States. His father, Harrison Sr, was one of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence. Old Harrison first studied medicine. After his father died, he had no money and joined the army. He fought bravely in the Indian War (1790s) in the northwestern United States and became an official. As the governor of Indian territory, he killed the Indians of Shawnee tribe with a group of professional soldiers and militia, making him famous all over the country. Jianghu people call him "Old Picano", referring to his victory in destroying Indians in Picano Creek. His campaign slogan for the US President is "Tippe Canoe and Tyler too" (Taylor is his running mate).
It is said that tecumseh, the Indian leader of Shawnee tribe, cursed the President of the United States in the soul of heaven. Since he was elected president on 1840, the president who is elected every 20 years will definitely die during his term of office.

First of all, the president elected in 1840, old Whig Harrison, died within a month of taking office. First of all, he caught a cold, but nothing can cure him. Whigs are made up of the political enemies of Democratic Jackson, that is, the happy and vengeful Jackson mentioned earlier.
Abraham lincoln, the 6th president and Republican elected in 1860 * *, was stabbed to death in 1865 and died in his second term. A Confederate sympathizer, John Booth, escaped after shooting.
1880, the 20th president elected, * * * and Republican james garfield were stabbed to death in 188 1 and died in the tenth week in office. As I said before, a little traitor who failed to be an official shot Garfield.
1900, the 25th president who was re-elected, * * * and McGinley, a Republican, were shot dead by Leon Czolgosz in his office in 190 1. The assassin said, "I did my duty. I don't think one person should have so much work to do while another person.
1920 The 29th President, * * * and Warren Gamaliel Harding of party member died suddenly on 1920. Some people think that Harding was caught in a corruption scandal. In order to avoid being humiliated by impeachment, Mrs Harding poisoned her husband. Harding married a divorced woman at the age of 25, who became Mrs Harding. This.
1940 Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd president who was re-elected, died in office on 1945.
1960 the 35th president, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated in 1963.
1980 elected 40th president, * * * and Republican Ronald W. Reagan were assassinated in 1980. They are the only presidents who have survived the "Tekmo curse". The assassin just made love to actress Julie Foster.
Bush was elected 20 years later in 2000. ...
6, the mystery of the birth of life
Simulate the birth process of life with supercomputer
To explain the mystery of the birth of life, we must start with the concept of chemistry. The human body consists of no less than 25 different chemical elements. There are 65,438+000 naturally occurring chemical elements in the world, the smallest being hydrogen and the largest being uranium. Where did all these elements come from? Why do we have so many chemical possibilities? First of all, a brief explanation.
Hydrogen existed shortly after the Big Bang, and almost all other elements were produced after that. For example, through the explosion of supernovae, these supernova explosions are also very important to life, because they spit out newly created elements into outer space, forming new galaxies or new life. Most of the elements in our bodies were produced before the formation of the sun, and our lives are actually made up of stardust to a great extent.
Those decisive elements are produced by the fusion of smaller nuclei through nuclear reactions to produce larger nuclei and release the energy necessary for the birth of life; The first step of nuclear fusion is that two hydrogen atoms combine to form deuterium, which is the first and most important element in the whole life chain. If deuterium cannot be formed, there may be no other elements in the universe except hydrogen, and all life (if it still exists) will be composed of hydrogen. In addition, if the nuclear reaction fails, the formation of new stars will stop.
Therefore, all life depends on whether hydrogen and deuterium can be melted and produced.
The first coincidence of human life has come.
If the natural force that melts and produces hydrogen and deuterium is not just right, but weak 10%, human life will not appear. More than that, if it is stronger than 10%, life will never appear. However, all forces are just controlled within this ideal 10%, and finally human life is produced. The nuclear reaction is not a little fast, but the other side, not in life.
At this time, the second life coincidence came: after the successful manufacture of hydrogen and deuterium, deuterium atoms combined into helium atoms through the same melting process, but helium atoms must form larger atoms, but the problem is that the combination of two helium atoms violates the laws of physics, that is, two helium atoms are impossible.
Two helium atoms cannot combine, but inside the molten nova, they can "temporarily" collide and stick together. How "temporary"? It's about/kloc-0.000 billion copies per second (the number is too long to know how to type).
Author: Yao Hanhua 2007-3- 15 2 1.33 Reply to this speech 3 Amazing similarities in history (biography)
That's not all. In this billionth of a second, the third helium atom stuck. In this way, helium atoms can combine, and the first "carbon 12" in the universe was born. Almost all the carbon in the universe is also produced in this situation. Without carbon, there would be no life now. The origin of life is impossible.
Then came a third more coincidental coincidence. This "rare" event did not produce enough carbon, so life was born, unless something greatly improved its effectiveness: harmonic vibration. The simple harmonic vibration must be kept at a certain energy level in order to play its role. At that time, life was born with a harmonic vibration, if its energy level was higher.
The coincidence and luck of life are far more than that. Then, for example, the electromagnetic force is "just" weaker than the nuclear force 100 times, and Ai En Stein said that the singular space is flat (the post-BIGBANG space is only slightly curved), not unitary, binary or quaternary, but a "just" cubic world, a "just" balanced quantum world, and the history of the universe and the history of the birth of life are "just" coordinated.
In short, the luck of life is the result of a series of "coincidences", which is more magical than any dramatic effect. If you multiply the percentages of those possibilities, "the possibility of life being born" may be the lowest value that has ever appeared in the history of science.
7. Coincidence of war
The amazing coincidence of Napoleon and Hitler:
Napoleon came to power in 1804, Hitler came to power in 1933, with an interval of 129 years. 1809 Napoleon occupied Vienna, 129 Hitler just conquered Vienna, 18 12 Napoleon captured Moscow, all of which happened to Hitler.
In addition, there are striking similarities between the two; Every time Napoleon made a major decision, even at the most intense moment of the battle, he was bound to fall into a state of 10 minutes, and then he gave the troops an operational order. So was Hitler. It was also in a daze that he made a decision closely related to the fate of the whole war.
