Experimental studies of black holes: status and future prospects
More than a century ago, Albert Einstein presented his general theory of gravitation (GR) to the Prussian Academy of Sciences. One of the predictions of the theory is that not only particles and objects with mass, but also the quanta of light, photons, are tied to the curvature of space-time, and thus to gravity. There must be a critical mass density, above which photons cannot escape. These are black holes (henceforth BH). It took fifty years after the theory was announced before possible cand…

The great reorganization of Germany in 1803, the last act of the Holy Roman Empire before its abolition, is often seen as the traumatic result of Napoleon's overwhelming defeat of various German armies and his gobbling-up of the Rhine. But the damage had in many ways been done much earlier with the partitions of Poland [and Lithuania]. Looked at now, these seem pieces of insanity. It had been clear, if surprising, since the early eighteenth century and the victories of Peter the Great that Russia was to be as big a factor in European politics as Britain (both countries flanking Europe and, in their different ways, impervious to normal attack). It should have been in everyone's interest to keep Poland as a cheerful, thriving buffer, but instead, for careless, short-term reasons the Prussians, Austrians and Russians carved Poland into non-existence. Aside from the rights of the Poles to an ancient and, for centuries, highly successful state, this international piracy meant that Germans and Russians now shared a border — an issue that was to define international politics until Soviet tanks arrived in Berlin in 1945.

German troops arrive in Lithuania, their first long-term foreign deployment since World War II
Lithuanian leaders have hailed a “historic event” as Germany began deploying troops in the Baltic country — a NATO member — the first time since World War II that German forces will be based outside the country on a long-term basis. About two dozen soldiers arrived in Lithuania, laying the groundwork for a further 150 to join them later this year. The full-strength deployment of up to 5,000 is expected by late 2027. Lithuania's defense minister said the move was “a great example” fo…
