Review of the week from 21.12.2009 to 27.12.2009. Europe U.S. and Russia blocked with snow Exactly a week before New Year's winter fun 'pokapriznichat' in the northern hemisphere of our planet: more than just the whims of nature has got to Europe, USA and Russia.

At the beginning of last week's severe winter unexpectedly came to Europe, bringing the European continent snow storms and a sharp temperature drop. Heavy snow did not stop in many EU countries for three days. In Bavaria, German thermometer dropped to record minus 33.6 degrees Celsius. Not without its casualties. For example, in Poland, the total number of victims of cold snap was 42. Many people have been killed in an accident triggered by bad weather. In a result of binge winter elements were canceled hundreds of flights on some days was discontinued rail service between London and Paris via the English Channel. Unusually cold weather and established in the Apennines. Temperature readings break records in the north, heavy snow covered the center and even some southern areas. Record low temperatures were recorded in northern Italy.

“Swelling of the universe” problem that occurred in the first, and in second study was the fact that the universe is too homogeneous. How could the parts of the universe that will never come in contact with each other, to come to equilibrium temperature readings? These and other problems can be solved if we assume that immediately after the Big Bang, the universe has expanded to leapfrog to the incredibly large size. This jump is called “swelling of the universe.” To this swelling could occur, universe at the Big Bang must have been filled with a kind of energy, whose nature is still unknown. But regardless of its nature, the model is “bloated” indicates that this energy was distributed unevenly in space due to quantum noise, got up, when the universe was still very small. This model of transposition of reality becomes visible due to photons that have begun to move freely in the moment redistribution of the atoms.

As a result, we see this model in the pictures the sky made by COBE and WMAP. NY Museums is open to suggestions. But all this does not answer the question of where does the energy for the swelling. The difficulty lies in the fact that the swelling has ceased at the time of formation of atoms, and the opacity of the universe up to this point – it is the veil which hides from us these interesting events. Fortunately, we have a way of observing the universe without photons at all. Gravitational waves, information about them – the only thing that has not changed since the Big Bang. Perhaps it is the study of these waves raise the veil of secrecy in this matter.

NASA, LISA, and Big Bang Observer will organize two missions – their team will be search for gravitational fields the era of “swelling.” dark energy in the first years of research and COBE Hubble picture of the Big Bang is gradually becoming clearer. But in 1996, observing the most distant supernova stars have changed this picture. Always assumed that the rate of expansion of the universe will gradually fall. But the observations of the supernova showed that expansion of the universe not only slowed down, and vice versa – is accelerating. Galaxy makes move some force of unknown nature. This force became known as dark energy. Is dark energy the dynamic view of the radiation, yet unknown to science, or is it – a product of the vacuum in empty space, or it relates to general relativity – all this remains to be learned.

Minister Trutnev signed an order to dismiss the deputy head of Rosprirodnadzor: Mitvol remains … At last week, Minister of Natural Resources Yuri Trutnev signed an order to dismiss one of the deputy head of the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources, better known as Rosprirodnadzor. Great attention to the news media was no accident. In the summer of 2008 prepared a draft decree Rosprirodnadzor Russian government to reduce the number of deputies from four to three, and in August it action has been taken by the government. Many assumed that the draft was developed in connection with the conflict between the head of Rosprirodnadzor Vladimir Kirillov, and his deputy Oleg Mitvol. If you are not convinced, visit NYC Mayor.

It was expected that it would be under Oleg L. contraction. During the absence of Minister Trutnev allegedly even issued an order to dismiss Mitvol. However, Mitvol went along with the other three deputies perform their duties. And March 12 is finally resolved by the personnel issue in Rosprirodnadzor – Yuri Trutnev signed an order to reduce one of four deputy head of Rosprirodnadzor.

By reducing Ivan hit Klemenkov … In the Danish capital was an international scientific congress on climate change last week in the Danish capital was an international scientific congress "Climate Change: Global Risks, Challenges and solutions'. The forum was attended by more than 1,600 experts and specialists from nearly 80 countries. Scientific Congress in Copenhagen – one of a series of events held on the eve of the 15th Conference of Parties to the Framework UN Convention on Climate Change held in December this year, also in the capital of Denmark.
