Why don't we use magnetic field technology?

Modern Mechanix magazine published the news about the invention of a unique weapon in 1932. The magnetic cannon does not use gunpowder. Powerful currents flowing through coils around the barrel magnetically affect the steel casing, pulling it
through the barrel at tremendous velocity.

Each coil has its own generator and projectile running through the barrel. It automatically feeds the coil. A rotary switch could be used to adapt this idea to machine guns.

Using such technology would lead to the collapse of the fuel market. After all, there would be no need for gunpowder, gasoline, or gas.

North America. Early 20th century.

Sequoia National Park.

Huge trees were cut down mercilessly in this area. Natural genocide was stopped by Walter Fry.

In 1888 Walter Fry first encountered giant sequoias as a logger and was shocked. After spending more than five days with a logging crew to cut and fell a single tree, he counted the annual layers on the trunk of the fallen giant.

He had to count for several days and the answer was astonishing: 3266 rings, that is, 3266 years of life. Two years later, thanks to Fry's efforts, the area was placed under U.S. government protection, and in 1914 the Army finally withdrew from the leadership of the Park and Fry was appointed its official civilian manager. No more living sequoias have fallen since then.

The largest living organism on Earth

"Pando" is a colony of aspen-shaped poplar (USA, Utah). Scientists have determined that 47 thousand stems come from a single once living poplar. All 47 thousand stems have a single root system, and can be called a single organism, which weighs 6 thousand tons. Pando is 80 thousand years old, which makes it one of the main candidates for the noscript of the longest-living organism on the planet.

The man who has been married 23 times and become a father about 200 times

This is a Chinese man named Li Qingyong. He lived more than 200 years. He was born in 1677 and died in 1933. He was a master of martial arts.The first 100 years of his life collected medicinal herbs, the last 156 - bought them from others and traded them.

Lee was a vegetarian, did not drink alcohol, did not smoke, and ate only at set times. He went to bed early and got up early.
All of this may seem like a hoax if one is unaware of Chinese Taoist traditions and the many legends of immortal Taoists who live in the mountains.

Petrified trees in Arizona

Think about it: a tree turned into a semi-precious stone. To do this, it must have been buried under a layer of earth, without access to oxygen, soaking up certain minerals under the influence of enormous temperatures and yet not rot or burn.

What could create such conditions? A global catastrophe (falling meteorite or other celestial body) or a war of ancient civilizations

Not only construction equipment had ancient analogues. Those who did not have enough money for personal transport such as a horse or rickshaw had a self-propelled wheeled cart. And once again, the Indian bas-relief shows an invention, which was officially invented only in 1761.

If you run the image of the sculpture of Ramses II through a computer, it turns out that it is perfectly symmetrical to within 1 mm.

In this case, the official version says that the work on the statues took decades with a hammer and chisel. But the human eye is not perfect and it is simply physically impossible to achieve such a precise result with a hand tool.
