Howard Hughes a produs și regizat filme în anii '30. Avea un stil de viață playboy și o iubire a aviației. După un accident de avion din 1946, a devenit recluziv.

Rezumat

Howard Hughes, un aviator și regizor de film, s-a născut la 24 decembrie 1905, la Houston, Texas. Și-a moștenit familia's-a ocupat cu succes în uneltele de petrol și a început să investească în filme. A produs mai multe filme, inclusiv hitul Iad's Îngeri.

Tinerețe

Howard Robard Hughes Jr., născut la 24 decembrie 1905, la Houston, este cunoscut în mare parte pentru că este unul dintre cei mai bogați bărbați și unul dintre cei mai renumiți reclusi, dar Hughes a avut multe realizări profesionale înainte de a se retrage din viața publică.. 

Film și zbor

Fiul unui producător de succes de instrumente de găurit, a moștenit afacerea familiei în 1923, la 18 ani. A folosit o parte din averea sa pentru a finanța filme, începând cu 1926. A produs mai multe filme, inclusiv în primul război mondial. Iad's Îngeri (1930), care a prezentat secvențe scumpe de lupte aeriene și o actriță pe atunci necunoscută pe nume Jean Harlow. Unele dintre alte filme semnificative ale sale au fost Scarface (1932) și Nelegiuitul (1941). În timpul zilelor sale la Hollywood, Hughes și-a dezvoltat o reputație de a fi un jucător, întâlnind astfel de actrițe precum Katharine Hepburn, Ava Gardner și Ginger Rogers.

Hughes a dezvoltat o pasiune pentru zbor și și-a fondat propria companie de aeronave la începutul anilor ’30. Pe lângă proiectarea și construirea avioanelor, și-a riscat propria viață de mai multe ori testând avioanele și stabilind recorduri mondiale de viteză a aerului la mijlocul până la sfârșitul anilor 1930. El este creditat cu numeroase inovații în domeniul aviației, cum ar fi primul echipament de aterizare retractabil, și este amintit și pentru H-4 Hercules, pe care presa l-a poreclit Grosii Spruce. Ani de zile, Hughes a muncit pe acest hidroavion masiv din lemn, care avea scopul de a transporta trupele și materialele peste Oceanul Atlantic în timpul celui de-al doilea război mondial. Completată în 1947, a fost zburată o singură dată și nu a intrat niciodată în producție, cu toate acestea, Hughes a menținut H-4 într-un hangar climatizat până la moartea sa în 1976. În prezent este găzduit în Evergreen Aviation Museum din McMinnville, Oregon.

Recluzia

După un teribil accident de avion din 1946, Hughes a început să se retragă din lume. A cumpărat o parte din RKO Pictures în 1948, dar nu a vizitat niciodată studioul. În anii 1960, el locuia la ultimul etaj al Desert Inn din Las Vegas, Nevada, și își conduce toate afacerile din suita sa de hotel. Puțini oameni l-au văzut vreodată, ceea ce a dus la multe speculații publice și zvonuri despre activitățile sale. S-a crezut că suferă de tulburare obsesiv-compulsivă și avea o problemă de droguri. Hughes a părăsit în cele din urmă Las Vegas și a început să trăiască în străinătate. În 1972 a fost anunțată o biografie autorizată pentru reclama renumită, dar s-a dovedit a fi o înșelătorie. Autorul, Clifford Irving, a fost ulterior închis pentru fraudă.

Moarte și moștenire

Hughes a murit la 5 aprilie 1976. După moartea sa, au apărut numeroase versiuni false ale voinței sale, ceea ce a dus la o luptă asupra averii sale. În 2004, Hughes' viața a revenit la lumina reflectoarelor cu lungmetrajul Aviatorul, care-și înfățișa zilele de început. Leonardo DiCaprio l-a jucat pe miliardar ca un tânăr plin de probleme. A fost nominalizat la un premiu Oscar pentru portretizarea lui Hughes.

‘Dyson spheres’ were theorized as a way to detect alien life. Scientists say they’ve found potential evidence <a href=https://kra30c.cc>kraken официальный сайт</a> What would be the ultimate solution to the energy problems of an advanced civilization? Renowned British American physicist Freeman Dyson theorized it would be a shell made up of mirrors or solar panels that completely surrounds a star — harnessing all the energy it produces. “One should expect that, within a few thousand years of its entering the stage of industrial development, any intelligent species should be found occupying an artificial biosphere which completely surrounds its parent star,” wrote Dyson in a 1960 paper in which he first explained the concept https://kra30c.cc кракен онион If it sounds like science fiction, that’s because it is: Dyson took the idea from Olaf Stapledon’s 1937 novel “Star Maker,” and he was always open about that. The late scientist was a professor emeritus at the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. Still, coming from a thinker who some in the scientific community say might have been worthy of a Nobel Prize early in his career, the concept took hold and the hypothetical megastructures became known as Dyson spheres, even though the physicist later clarified that they would actually consist of “a loose collection or swarm of objects traveling on independent orbits around the star.” In his paper, Dyson also noted that Dyson spheres would give off waste heat detectable as infrared radiation, and suggested that looking for that byproduct would be a viable method for searching for extraterrestrial life. However, he added that infrared radiation by itself would not necessarily mean extraterrestrial intelligence, and that one of the strongest reasons for searching for such sources was that new types of natural astronomical objects might be discovered. “Scientists (at the time) were largely receptive, not to the likelihood that alien civilisations would be found to exist, but that a search for waste heat would be a good place to look,” said George Dyson, a technology writer and author and the second of Dyson’s six children, via email. “Science fiction, from ‘Footfall’ to ‘Star Trek,’ took the idea and ran with it, while social critics adopted the Dyson sphere as a vehicle for questioning the wisdom of unlimited technological growth.”

Broken spheres Dyson died in 2020 before any of his spheres could be found — although they are just one of a dozen ideas that bear his name. <a href=https://kra30att.cc>kra31at</a> “As a young scientist, Dyson showed that three competing quantum theories were actually the same theory — he summarily ended the competition,” said William Press, the Leslie Surginer Professor of Computer Science and Integrative Biology at the University of Texas at Austin. He was not involved in the study. “Later, he applied his genius to areas of astronomy, cosmology, the extraterrestrial realm, and also the very real problem of nuclear proliferation here on planet Earth. At the time of his death, he was recognized as a provocative and creative thinker.” George Dyson also attested to his father’s fascination and comprehensive reach across disciplines. https://kra30att.cc kra at “Taking advantage of a short attention span and an aversion to bureaucracy, he contributed to five fields of mathematics and eleven fields of physics, as well as to theoretical biology, engineering, operations research, literature, and public affairs,” the younger Dyson said. “Many of his ideas were controversial, with one of his guiding principles being that ‘It is better to be wrong than to be vague.’” The approach of the researchers behind the new study could offer a more fruitful path in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, said Tomotsugu Goto, an associate professor of astronomy at the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan. He also was not involved with the study. “However, contamination by circumstellar debris disks, which mimic Dyson Sphere infrared signatures, remains a concern,” he added in an email. “Authors argue that the debris disks around (dwarf stars) are rare, but the 7 candidate authors selected out of 5 million sources are also rare. Despite this, the seven candidates warrant further investigation with powerful telescopes for a more definitive evaluation.”

Axolotl problems As Mexico City grew and became more industrialized, the need for water brought pumps and pipes to the lake, and eventually, “it was like a bad, smelly pond with rotten water,” Zambrano said. “All of our aquatic animals suffer with bad water quality, but amphibians suffer more because they have to breathe with the skin.” <a href=https://lucky-jetts.com>lucky jet игра</a> To add to the axolotls’ problems, invasive fish species such as carp and tilapia were introduced to the lake, where they feed on axolotl eggs. And a 1985 earthquake in Mexico City displaced thousands of people, who found new homes in the area around the lake, further contributing to the destruction of the axolotls’ habitat. These combined threats have devastated axolotl populations. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, there are fewer than 100 adult axolotls left in the wild. The species is considered critically endangered. https://lucky-jetts.com lucky jet играть While the wild axolotls of Lake Xochimilco have dwindled to near-extinction, countless axolotls have been bred for scientific laboratories and the pet trade. “The axolotl essentially helped establish the field of experimental zoology,” Voss said. In 1864, a French army officer brought live axolotls back to Europe, where scientists were surprised to learn that the seemingly juvenile aquatic salamanders were capable of reproduction. Since then, scientists around the world have studied axolotls and their DNA to learn about the salamanders’ unusual metamorphosis (or lack thereof) as well as their ability to regrow injured body parts. In addition to their role in labs, axolotls have become popular in the exotic pet trade (though they are illegal to own in California, Maine, New Jersey and Washington, DC). However, the axolotls you might find at a pet shop are different from their wild relatives in Lake Xochimilco. Most wild axolotls are a dark grayish brown. The famous pink axolotls, as well as other color variants such as white, blue, yellow and black, are genetic anomalies that are rare in the wild but selectively bred for in the pet trade. What’s more, “most of the animals in the pet trade have a very small genetic variance,” Zambrano said. Pet axolotls tend to be inbred and lack the wide flow of different genes that makes up a healthy population in the wild. That means that the axolotl extinction crisis can’t simply be solved by dumping pet axolotls into Lake Xochimilco. (Plus, the pet axolotls likely wouldn’t fare well with the poor habitat conditions in the lake.)
