Coetzee, J. M.

Tema: Democracia
Se tiveres reservas sobre o sistema e quiseres mudá-lo, o argumento democrático diz, fá-lo dentro do sistema: coloque-se como candidato a um cargo político, submeta-se ao escrutínio e ao voto dos seus concidadãos. A democracia não permite que se faça política fora do sistema democrático. Nesse sentido, a democracia é um sistema totalitário.

Welcome to Baldwin, the Steepest Residential Street in the World

Dunedin, New Zealand’s is where you will find Baldwin Street, the steepest residential street in the world. At a modest 350 meters (1,150 ft) long, what it lacks in length, it makes up for in slope. The 161.2 metres (529 ft) long top section climbs 47.2 metres (155 ft) vertically, an average gradient of 1:3.41. At its maximum, about 70 metres (230 ft) below the top, the slope of Baldwin Street is about 1:2.86 (19° or 35%).

A Secret Nazi Nuclear Weapons Facility Was Discovered (17 Pics)

The Manhattan project, the top secret program started by the United States who employed many ex German scientists has been hailed as one of the greatest and worst achievements in human history. It stopped a war, but it also caused the entire world to live in fear ever since. Have you ever imagined what would have happened if Hitler would have gotten his hands on the most destructive weapon in human history? Well that reality was closer than most of us might think according to film maker Andreas Sulzer. Sulzer believes he has discovered the biggest secret Nazi nuclear weapons facility in history! His search began years ago from an off handed comment made in a letter written by a german scientist named Viktor Schauberger. In his letter, Schauberger talks of a project he is working on for the Third Reich under the strictest of security. He warns his colleagues in a letter that he is involved in “atom smashing”, which is presumed to mean the attempted production of a nuclear weapon. The project began in the late 1930’s after a report by two German scientists named Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman that detailed their findings on nuclear fission, a process by which a Uranium 235 atom is split by a neutron causing a nuclear reaction. Speculation started to mount that this could in fact be the spot where Hitler conducted his atomic experiments when high levels of radiation were detected near a vast network of underground tunnels that were dug by concentration camp prisoners. While nothing has been proven yet, historians remain hopeful that these new findings can lead to the answer to ultimate question of whether Hitler was trying to obtain a nuclear weapon.
