OF THE
TIMES
A culture that does not grasp the vital interplay between morality and power, which mistakes management techniques for wisdom, and fails to understand that the measure of a civilization is its compassion, not its speed or ability to consume, condemns itself to death.
Good idea. In chemistry and elsewhere, this is called a "catalyst".
Six major NATO states minor US vassals sign document on Ukraine's accession plans Corrected that for you ! :)
CIA program for the Zionist Bankers, it's called money for nothing or money from nothing. The Big Snatch and Grab, then run like hell. LOL
๐these freaking clowns. Please oreshnik them already.
...and of course, the most Russiophobe people are having a big mouth again, despite the fact that the people of their countries don't support...

Most lightning victims do not die from direct impact, but from electric currents caused by the high differential voltage they bridge with their legs.
The lightning creates a voltage of several dozens to hundreds of kV at the impact location. And this creates a voltage differential near the impact site, dropping at a nearly exponential rate (depending on ground conditions). The current is mostly defined by the difference in potential between the two (or more) contact points, i.e. legs.
Here an image to demonstate this : [Link]
Obviously, you don't really need a tree ...

This is caused by the heated and ionized air the lightning passes through, which causes a rapid increase in pressure and expansion along the lightning's path.
Which is the basically the same thing happening during an explosion or detonation.
