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.

Will humans survive the sun's red giant stage?

"As the Sun matures into a Red Giant, the oceans will boil and Earth will become uninhabitable." (The Conversation, The sun won’t die for 5 billion years, so why do humans have only 1 billion years left on Earth?) Sooner or later, all stars use their hydrogen. And then they turn into red giants. Sun is a yellow G spectral class star that turns into a white dwarf. But before that, the sun will turn larger. The sun turns red and that means. It starts to send more infrared radiation. This thing will turn Earth into a hellish temperature that vaporizes water from Earth. It's possible. That Earth will also vaporize with Venus and Mercury. Some scientists say that we have only 1 billion years to move farther in the solar system. The habitable zone will go to the distance of Jupiter and Saturn, and maybe humans find a safe place in those distant moons. It's possible that before Sun will grow too large humans make large groups of mirror satellites or large shields that sho...

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies.

An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate. AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru...

The new observations and observation tools are revolutionizing nanotechnology and the way of thinking in physics.

ScitechDaily.com "A new study has overturned a fundamental principle of physics by demonstrating that similarly charged particles can attract each other in a solution, with the effect varying between positive and negative charges depending on the solvent. This discovery has significant implications for various scientific processes, including self-assembly and crystallization". (ScitechDaily, Opposites Attract, Likes Repel? Scientists Overturn Fundamental Principle of Physics) The research reveals the importance of solvent structure at the interface in determining interparticle interactions, challenging long-held beliefs and indicating a need for a re-evaluation of our understanding of electromagnetic forces.
