The idea that Christianity is strictly pacifist is challenged by interpretations of scripture and church history, with many Christians viewing “turning the other cheek” as personal non-retaliation, not a ban on all force, citing Jesus’ cleansing of the temple and the development of Just War theory to justify defending the innocent, while acknowledging peace as a core

Theophany (also known as Epiphany) is a major feast in the Orthodox Christian tradition, commemorating the baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River and the revelation of the Holy Trinity—where the Father’s voice was heard, the Son was baptized, and the Holy Spirit descended like a dove. This event, celebrated on January 19, 2026, in the Julian calendar used by
At a press conference on March 13, 2023, Chinese Premier Li Qiang stated that despite the country’s population decline, China’s demographic dividend has not disappeared. He emphasized that China still has nearly 900 million working-age people and that over 15 million new individuals join the workforce annually. Li also highlighted the emergence of a “talent dividend”, citing that more than
The Soviet Union’s Venera program revealed that Venus is a hellish world with extreme conditions far beyond early scientific expectations. The first successful surface landing by Venera 7 in 1970 confirmed surface temperatures of 465–475°C (hotter than a pizza oven) and atmospheric pressure 90 times that of Earth, equivalent to being 1 kilometer underwater. Later missions, including Venera 9, 10, 13, and 14, provided the first
SpaceX’s Mars city plan centers on establishing a self-sustaining civilization using Starship, in-situ resource utilization, and robotic precursors. The goal is to build a city of over one million people, capable of thriving independently of Earth. Initial robotic missions are planned as early as 2026, with multiple Starships sent to Mars during each 26-month transfer window. The first landings aim to test survivability
SpaceX is lowering 4,400 Starlink satellites from an altitude of approximately 550 km to 480 km primarily to enhance space safety and reduce collision risks in the increasingly crowded Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

Starlink Roam 50GB has been upgraded to Roam 100GB, doubling the high-speed data allowance at no additional cost. The change, effective January 13, 2026, means users now get 100GB of high-speed data per month for the same $50 price. Once that limit is reached, service continues with unlimited low-speed data (under 1 Mbps download and 0.5 Mbps upload), allowing basic tasks
6G represents the next frontier in wireless technology, expected to be deployed around 2030, building on the foundations of 5G. It aims to deliver terabit-per-second (Tbps) speeds, sub-millisecond latency, and support for up to 10 million devices per square kilometer. Key advancements include the use of terahertz (THz) frequencies (100 GHz to 3 THz), AI/ML integration for self-optimizing networks, seamless global coverage extending to space, sky, and underwater
6G is not replacing 5G anytime soon, but it’s already being developed as the next leap in wireless technology. While 5G is still rolling out globally, 6G is in the research and testing phase, with commercial launch expected around 2030. Key differences from 5G: 6G isn’t just faster — it’s smarter. It will enable holographic communication, digital twins,
