The science behind the Cooper's test

A methodology behind the famous 12 minutes running test is very often well-know thing. The idea of this test was 12 minutes run, and that was giving very good knowledge about the physical condition of the person, and also it was controlled the hidden heart problems. The speed of the person is very easy to calculate by using formula range/2*10, as I wrote before, but the reason for this is, that the idea of the test was also separate people, who bought the results.


The 12 minutes time was given by the FBI and the mission of those tests was to uncover the persons, who made business in the military forces. The test was not limited to the running tests, the blood tests were also used for selection of men into those test. If the hemoglobin is very low, there is no change, that the person would get very high results in those tests. And the doping is also visible. So this is the reason, why the Cooper's test is made, but there is also another aspect in that test.


In this test is many prizes, and this makes persons try extremely hard. And the result is sometimes the heart attack or the breathing muscles paralyzing, if the person, who would be tested have used drugs or have neurological problems. This is the danger of that famous test, what is used in the selection of military personnel. But it is used in many more selection and following processes than the only military. The results of the tests are simply to analyze, and the best would be separated easily. The faking of the results is very difficult because if the person runs 3000 meters, would the formula tell the speed of that person 3000/2*10=15000 meters in 60 minutes. And this gives speed 15 km/h.


The similar dangers are in the ultra sports like triathlon. If the person tries too hard, the result could be death by fatigue. The results of the tests are sweeping, and they can use in the statistical analyses and comparison of the physical wellness of generations. This test is sometimes got critics, that it pushes people too much, and sometimes that test causes injuries or even death when somebody tries too hard, what is extremely dangerous.

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.

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.
