Norway has decided to give Finland the mountain



Norway has launched a campaign to promote the idea that it is necessary to give the neighboring Finland border summit of Mount Halti as a gift to the centennial of the country's independence. Now part of the mountain belongs to Norway.

Finland will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the proclamation of independence in 2017.
Part of the mountain Halti is already on the territory of Finland, on its slopes - the highest point in the country (1324 m). However, the peak of the mountain height of 1365 m already owns Norway.
Activists offer to move abroad in order to "give" top of the mountain of Finland, and state that these changes will be barely visible on the map.
"It will be a wonderful gift. How many countries can boast that gave the neighbor the mountain? "- Says a Facebook page online campaign, which is already supported by more than 4,000 people.
"We give Finland to new heights!" - Urging activists.

A former employee of the Norwegian Mapping Authority, now retired Bjorn Geyrr Harsson said that such an idea came to him a few decades ago. He suspects that the campaign on Facebook could start his son.
Many Finns in the Network welcomed the initiative as a sign of good-neighborly relations. However, there were also dissatisfied: grumblers believe that the change of borders would lead to unnecessary red tape. And individual citizens Suomi claimed that Norway would be better if they gave at least one oil well, reports BBC.

Physicists have created the first hybrid qubit



Scientists from the US and the UK for the first time created a qubit from two different kinds of ions. American scientists were able to link the magnesium ions and ions of beryllium, the British physics "entangled" ions of two different isotopes of the same substance - calcium-40 and calcium-43. This will allow scientists hope to create in the future universal quantum computers.

Both studies were published in the magazine Nature. American scientists have managed to create the first prototype of qubits - the smallest element for storing information in a quantum computer - on the basis of magnesium and beryllium ions. This was possible thanks to a special laser system control spin of charged particles. As the study's authors hope it will create in the near future supersensitive atomic clock and universal quantum computers.

"Hybrid quantum computers provide the unique benefits that have different quantum systems - said Ting Tan of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder. - Each ion type is unique: some are better suited for storage of information and others are more suitable for transmission of information. "

British scientists were able to link the two ions of different isotopes of the same substance - calcium-40 and calcium-43. The first one is better suited to the role of the channel for the transmission of quantum information, and the second is the most reliable basis for quantum memory cells.

There was a picture of the mysterious region of Pluto



NASA presented the image of a mysterious region of Pluto - we are talking about the recesses located in the region Tombaugh Regio.

New high-quality image was made using a telescopic camera spacecraft New Horizons. At the time of capture probe is at a distance of 15,400 km from the surface of Pluto. The focus of scientists appeared strange recesses in Tombaugh Regio, or even call this region - "The heart of Pluto." According to scientists, the deepening layers of ice formed. Experts believe that they are relatively recent.

The area became known as "The Heart of Pluto" because of its visual resemblance to the image of the heart in popular culture. For the first time, the region discovered in the summer of 2015. During the research, scientists have identified two mountain ranges here. The height of the first (Mountain Norgeya) reaches 3500 m, and the second (Mountain Hillary) - up to 1500 m. The left side of the "heart", according to the findings, a crater, which is filled with crystal with nitrogen.

Automatic interplanetary station NASA New Horizons was launched in January 2006. The focus of the unit is Pluto and its moon Charon. It is planned that the mission of the probe will be completed in 2026, though the plans may be revised.

Here's what to do if you constantly swayed.

The scientific name of seasickness - kinetosis, which means "motion sickness". For the first time this unpleasant phenomenon humanity is faced with the early days of sea travel. Hence the name of and strengthen, "sea" disease.

Adaptation

Our body is able to adapt to any conditions. The more trips to the "unpleasant" type of transport you make, the more likely the vestibular apparatus to normal and adapted to the new conditions. There are only 5% of people who can not get used to pitching to carry: your chance to become a very large sea wolf.

Antihistamines

Group actively antihistamines used to treat motion sickness. They suppress nausea and significantly increase the speed of adaptation to new conditions.

Placebo

Very popular are the so-called homeopathic remedies. They work only the placebo effect, since it does not contain any active substance. Going on a long voyage? Read some rave reviews about these medications, take it and enjoy the magical ability of the brain to turn the desired into reality.

Acupuncture Bracelet

These mysterious but effective devices have appeared in China - the homeland of acupuncture medicine. They really help, but do not expect results immediately. Before the start of the bracelet can go forty minutes - well, we can only throw in the teeth stronger and try to look at one point.

Patch
