Scientists have managed to observe a rare chemical element that was created following a massive explosion in space resulting from the merger of neutron stars. This discovery challenges the knowledge that exists today regarding gamma ray bursts and provides new insights regarding the composition of the elements of the universe
[Translation by Dr. Moshe Nachmani]
Astronomers were able to observe the creation of rare chemical elements in the second brightest gamma ray burst ever observed - a phenomenon that sheds new light on the creation of heavy elements.
As part of the publication of their findings on October XNUMXth in the prestigious scientific journal Nature, the international research team revealed that it found the heavy chemical element tellurium after the explosion. Other elements such as iodine and thorium, which are required to sustain life on Earth, may also be present in the material emitted following the explosion, known as a kilonova.
The lead researcher explains: "Gamma ray bursts come from powerful streams that move almost at the speed of light - in this case following a collision between two neutron stars. These stars move in a spiral shape for billions of years towards each other before they collide and create a gamma ray burst that we were able to detect in March of this year The merger zone is approximately the length of the Milky Way (one hundred and twenty thousand light years) and is outside the source galaxy of the stars, meaning that they had to leave from their point of origin together".
The lead researcher adds and explains: "Colliding neutron stars provide the conditions required for the creation of very heavy elements, and the radioactive glow of these new elements emitted from a kilonova, which we detected as the explosion faded. Kilonova are extremely rare and challenging phenomena to observe and investigate, and that is why this discovery is so Fascinating".
GRB 230307A was one of the brightest gamma-ray bursts ever observed - a million times brighter than the entire Milky Way galaxy. This is only the second time that the creation of specific heavy elements has been observed using spectroscopic observations after the merger of neutron stars, providing valuable insights into how these essential building blocks formed.
The main author of the article explains: "Only now, one hundred and fifty years after Dmitri Mendeleev formulated the periodic table of the elements, we are finally in a position where we are beginning to fill the gaps in understanding regarding the formation of all the elements, thanks to the James Webb telescope."
The burst GRB 230307A lasted only about two hundred seconds, which puts it in the category of a prolonged gamma-ray burst. Such a burst is uncommon because gamma ray bursts usually last less than two seconds, and are created by the merger of neutron stars. Prolonged gamma-ray bursts are usually produced by the death of a massive star.
Researchers are now trying to learn how such neutron star mergers work and how they drive the explosions that create heavy elements. One of the researchers explains: "Just a few years ago discoveries of this kind would not have been possible at all, but thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope we are able to observe such mergers in great detail. Until recently, we did not imagine that these mergers could create bursts of gamma rays that last more than just two seconds Our next goal is to find more prolonged bursts and get a better understanding of the reason for their occurrence - and to answer the question of whether heavier foundations can be formed This opens a window for transformations in understanding our world and the origin of life."

Parashat Bereshit of the exact sciences
The Genesis chapter of the exact sciences explicitly states:
To present a true description of physical reality, it is necessary to use the ideas of divine creation, and the natural knowledge of man.
A true description of physical reality will begin like this.
Genesis 5 God created "continuous quantitative things"
The hallmark of a continuous quantitative thing (dkr) is simple.
Whatever quantity we choose from DKR, we will always find that in reality there is a larger quantity, and a smaller quantity.
Any quantity that is chosen from DKR, it is between a zero quantity and an infinite quantity.
With the natural knowledge of man we will reach these five dachars.
Energy, time, length, area and volume.
Energy and time create the science of physics
Area length and volume, form the science of geometry.
Geometry and physics are the exact sciences, because they deal with quantities between zero and infinite quantities.
The science of physics appeared after the empty infinite space was filled by two continuous quantitative things, namely energy and passive time.
Passive time is absolute rest and absolute cold, and it fills the infinite space.
Passive time is at complete rest, and is the medium in which waves of passive time move. These waves transmit sunlight.
Passive time is a new and revolutionary physical concept, and it exists right in physical reality. On the other hand, the time we all know does not exist in physical reality, and it disappears as soon as you think about it. This elusive time was invented by man for their benefit, and the proper name for it is ...active time.
Poetic cosmology - from the wonders of passive time
The passive time envelops us, and we move through it.
I asked him and I didn't answer,,,,wait a little while he said
who are you i asked
I am the passive time, I belong to nature, I lead the light and color
Where are you the hard,…
I fill the terrible space, and it is now full of a river.
The energy is also with me, its power is beyond words, and together we create the material.
I know the stuff, I said, I touched it and it's right here.
You will not be able to touch me, but inside me you are free to move.
Are you really time? After all, the time I know always flies away.
I'm always here, I'm not a guest
I am the real time, and the energy is always with me.
Parashat Beresheit of the exact sciences geometry and physics
The chapter on the beginning of the exact sciences continues as follows:
After the infinite space was filled with passive energy and time, the stars were formed. The matter of the stars is formed by combining amounts of passive time and energy.
The matter of the stars is continuous, and has no gravity.
Combinations of amounts of passive time and energy created the familiar elements
Like, gold, carbon, iron and more. Any such conjunction is a physical form, and therefore
Matter is not a quantitative concept. A geometric shape is also not a quantitative concept, because it is formed by combining quantities of a closed length containing a quantity of area.
The concepts of geometric shape and physical shape always go together.
Geometry and physics are the two exact sciences, and the tangible and clear geometry provides clues about the mysterious physics.. Geometry always links us to the concept of form, and physics always links us to the concept of movement.
And so the chapter of Genesis of the exact sciences continues.
And God will instill eternal movement in every star, and Noah's star does not exist in reality.
The name of the collection of ever-moving stars is a universe.
The shape of the orbit of the stars of the universe is helical (neither straight nor round)
It is the Borgian orbit of the stars of the universe that allows their integration into a single division that is always moving.
A screw track has two data - diameter, and advance angle.
To complete the creation of the universe, it was necessary for the universe to obey a divine law.
And God established the law of conservation of the amount of energy in the universe, and this law ensured the eternal existence of the universe.
Everything said here about the universe is not accepted by the scientific establishment.
Today's scientists believe in the existence of a completely different universe, which is Newton's universe. Newton's universe is in infinite empty space, and this universe is dominated by crude and simple mechanical gravity.
The idea of gravity was given to the world by Newton 330 years ago.
Newton believed that there was a mysterious and wonderful force emanating from the depths of the earth, and that its whole function was to knock down objects that fell from our hands.
Such a mysterious force brings the reader into the world of fairy tales, and the imagination gives this force the image of a friendly, invisible demon.
Newton gave this demon the nice name "gravity".
Amazingly, Newton carried many believers in the idea of gravity after him, and thus began a strange investigation of physical reality, which contains a mysterious demon.
Why did Newton invent the delusional idea of gravity.
Newton did not know that objects that were handed out of our hands fall by themselves, and thus they fulfill a wonderful physical law of nature, which is the law of conservation of energy. This law of conservation was accepted in science only 170 years ago, and Newton obviously did not know about its existence.
And since Newton did not know that objects fall by themselves, and did not know about the existence of the law of conservation of energy, he invented the idea of gravity.
This crazy idea lasted for 160 years in all official physics curricula, thus creating a murky scientific swamp, which prevented any possibility of knowing the true structure of the universe.
Newton's murky scientific quagmire was canceled out by the physical reality that revealed to the world the existence of a miraculous quantitative law,
And it is the conservation of the amount of energy.
How is the law of conservation of energy,
Eliminates the concept of gravity.
To lift a large stone off the ground to a height of 1 meter, you have to exert yourself and get tired, and this amount of fatigue represents an amount of energy.
If we release this stone from a height of 1 meter, it will fall down by itself with increasing speed, and its impact will hit the ground. Show exactly the same amount of energy that was needed to lift the stone to a height of 1 meter.
No gravity is needed to drop the stone down, the stone falls by itself
down with increasing speed, and thus the law of conservation of energy is fulfilled.
This is how the wonderful physical reality works, and it is the one that taught scientists about the existence of an important physical law of nature - the law of conservation of energy.
There are many types of energy, and they can alternate with each other, according to this law of conservation.
Physical reality operates by itself, according to miraculous laws inherent in it, and researchers of physical reality have begun to discover these laws.
The law of conservation of energy that was discovered 170 years ago completely cancels out Newton's physics that requires gravity - and it proves that objects that are separated from our hands - fall by themselves, and there is no mysterious demon in physical reality that knocks them down..
And what turns out? For 170 years, Newton's physics has been taught in universities, and not a single teacher stood up and shouted "there is no gravity, and Newton's physics is incorrect"
It should be emphasized that Newton did not know that his physics was incorrect, but already 170 years ago, the physics teachers knew about the existence of the law of conservation of energy that eliminates the idea of gravity, but they did not find the courage to tell this to their students
These 170 unfortunate years produced terrible errors in the concept of matter and the structure of the universe, and the concepts of dark particle matter and dark energy testify to this.
The time has come to move to a different physics, based on miraculous laws inherent in physical reality. This is the real physics, and it appears in a revolutionary book - which bears the name...
This book conflicts with all the physical teachings developed in the last 150 years, and it presents to the world a new physics, and also a new geometry of circles.

Thorium is not an essential element for the existence of life. It is generally a radioactive element that can only do harm. The mistake is found in some of the Marim on the subject and in some it is about phosphorus which is indeed essential for life. It's good for a science editor to also check articles he finds in popular "science" newspapers.
You're wrong
keep dreaming
