The 380,000-kilometer-long moon is the earth’s only natural satellite. It has been accompanying the earth from the moment of its birth. According to current research by astronomers, it is speculated that our moon was born regarding 4.5 billion years ago and was impacted by a celestial body. Forming. About 4.5 billion years ago, the Earth had just accreted from the remaining material in the solar system. Coincidentally, a celestial body also formed near the same orbit of the Earth. This celestial body was regarding the same size as Mars. It was named Infinity. Oia. Since Theia is not far from the primitive Earth, this means that they will be getting closer and closer under the force of gravity. Finally, one day it will collide with the primitive Earth. The moment of collision can be said to be very violent. Oia was almost completely shattered by the impact. The violent impact caused a large number of fragments to fly into space. Then these fragments gathered near the Earth’s orbit due to gravity, forming the moon. Nowadays, with the advancement of science, we have been able to set foot on this land through rockets. In the 1960s, humans landed on the lunar surface six times. In our continuous exploration, we have learned more and more regarding the moon and discovered that it Played a critical role in the earth. So let’s assume today, what would happen to the earth if the moon disappeared? As we all know, the water on the earth will rise and fall periodically, and this phenomenon is caused by the gravitational influence of the sun and the moon. Although the sun is much more massive than the moon, it is so far away that the moon’s tidal force is regarding 2.17 times that of the sun. If the moon disappears, this will lead to a great reduction in tidal action. The most direct impact will be the backflow of seawater and atmosphere on the earth, which will trigger huge tsunamis and super storms. Coastal cities around the world will face terrible tsunami attacks. , this kind of tsunami is unprecedented. In addition to the influence of tides, the earth’s rotation axis is actually related to the moon. We know that the earth has an inclination angle, regarding 23.5 degrees, and this inclination angle was caused by the impact of the planet Theia at that time. If the moon disappears, the earth’s axis of rotation will become unstable and it will swing back and forth greatly, and the earth will no longer have four distinct seasons. In other words, due to unstable rotation, glaciers may appear in the hot African regions, while deserts or jungles may appear in the cold Antarctic regions. This means that creatures living on the earth will continue to be affected by extreme climate changes. , some organisms may be on the road to extinction. Not only that, if the moon disappears, the possibility of being hit by meteorites on the earth will also be greatly increased. The moon has always been known as the patron saint of the earth. It has resisted the impact of many asteroids for the earth. Once the moon disappears, Then the original asteroids will also hit the earth’s surface. Therefore, the moon is very important to the creatures on the earth. Without the existence of the moon, there may not be life on the earth, and there would be no human beings. Therefore, in a sense, we would also like to thank the moon for giving Our lives! Expand Reading How empty is the universe? After reading it, it may be beyond ordinary people’s cognition!

Small pensions: the first figures on the impact of the reform are “in line with Cnav’s forecasts”
2023-10-25 15:43:40
The account is good, according to Cnav. The director general of the National Old Age Insurance Fund assured Wednesday that the first figures on the impact of the pension reform for small pensions, the subject of much controversy, were in line with his forecasts, in particular for new retirees.
The reform increased “by 30 euros on average” the minimum contribution (boost for small pensions) received by people who retired in September, declared the CEO of the Cnav, Renaud Villard, in the Senate. A figure “in line with our forecasts”, he said, without specifying the number of people affected by this boost.
For people already retired, the reform increased the minimum contribution “by 50 euros on average” for around 500,000 individuals, added the director of the Fund. Of these 500,000 people, 20,000 received the maximum amount of 100 euros. The average of 50 euros “is a little lower” than the Cnav forecast, which was 60 euros, said Renaud Villard. The Fund, however, maintains its long-term forecast, because the 500,000 beneficiaries are more recent retirees and need less of a boost, he explained. “The amount for retirees who left 20 years ago will be greater.” “We can then check” the amount of 60 euros.
A negative balance of 7.4 billion in 2027
In total, 1.7 million retirees at the time of the reform must benefit from an increase in value by September 2024, according to Cnav forecasts. The revaluation of small pensions was the subject of controversy during the pension reform, on the scope of its beneficiaries or on its amounts.
It should make it possible to implement the government’s promise of a gross minimum pension at 85% of the SMIC – 1,200 euros at the time of the reform – for all employees who have completed a full career at the SMIC. Regarding the evolution of the deficit of the general system and the Old Age Solidarity Fund, the Cnav forecasts a negative balance of 7.4 billion euros in 2027, whereas it would have been 11.7 billion without the reform, according to figures from the president of the Cnav, Éric Blachon.
By 2030, the deficit will be around 10 billion, “while it would have been 17 billion without the reform”, according to director Renaud Villard. The persistence, despite the reform, of a deficit of 10 billion euros “may be surprising”, admitted Mr. Villard. “We must not forget” that the pension reform “did not plan to restore balance to the general system, but to all the basic and supplementary systems,” he said.
He also warned that the funding problem will likely arise once more in subsequent years. “The latest reform contributed to significantly reducing the need for financing, but this is not yet completely covered beyond 2030 and 2040,” he underlines. In 2070, with current demographics, (…) the retired contributor ratio reaches the fateful figure of 1. This means that each worker will have to carry 1 retiree on their shoulders, whereas today it is 1.4. »

Knicks’ New Season Preview: Can the Balanced Lineup and Former Warriors Players Lead to Eastern Conference Finals?
2023-10-18 16:29:00
Original title: Preview of the Knicks’ new season: Will the balanced lineup and the Warriors’ old players become the final puzzle to hit the Eastern Conference Finals?
As we all know, the Knicks are called a star black hole, and this team once saw no hope of revival. However, they made a breakthrough last season, so the Knicks chose to make minor repairs during the offseason to keep the lineup stable, hoping to make further progress.
After acquiring Brunson last season, the Knicks achieved fifth place in the Eastern Conference, with 47 wins and 35 losses, with a winning rate of over 50%. Moreover, in the first round of the playoffs, they defeated the Cavaliers and advanced to the second round. The last time the Knicks reached the second round of the playoffs was 10 years ago. Unfortunately, they were eliminated by the Heat 4-2 in the second round.
Lineup changes
Important signing: DiVincenzo
Leaving the team: Ross, Toppin
Season Outlook
The Knicks retained their key rotation players from last season and did not make a big move in the offseason. They gave up dunk king Toppin and veteran Rose. The departure of the two people was actually reasonable. Toppin was not favored by Thibodeau, so the Knicks traded him to the Pacers in exchange for two second-round picks, which can be said to have stopped the loss in time. Rose’s annual salary of $15.6 million is already a burden for the Knicks. More importantly, he no longer has a place on this team.
The most important signing of the Knicks during the offseason was the signing of DiVincenzo. Last season, he played 72 regular season games with the Warriors, averaging 26.3 minutes per game, 9.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 steals, and a shooting percentage of 43.5%. , shooting 39.7% from three-point range. DiVincenzo’s arrival reunited the Villanova trio in the NBA. He was on the same team with Brunson and Hart once more, and the latter also completed an early contract extension with the Knicks.
With the Knicks’ current lineup, reaching the playoffs in the new season should be just a guaranteed goal. They hope to go one step further and reach the Eastern Conference Finals, or even the Finals.
Team roster
