Date set for trial of first of 3 Russian missile scientists accused of treason | Oneindia News

The first of the three Russian hypersonic missile scientists to be arrested on suspicion of treason will go on trial next week in a case which apparently involves accusations of betraying secrets to foreign adversaries. The criminal case against Anatoly Maslov, 76, will open in Saint Petersburg’s city court on June 1. The St. Petersburg City Court also ruled on May 24 that Maslov's detention would be extended until at least November 10. Soon after his arrest, authorities had flown him to Moscow and put him in pre-trial detention in Lefortovo prison…a former KGB interrogation site where Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich is also being held. The details of the case are classified, but some local media reports cited sources close to scientific circles as saying that the three scholars are suspected of handing information related to their research to China. #Russiascientisttreason #russianmissile #russia #russianarmy #russiaukrainewar ~PR.153~HT.99~ED.103~

Hole in the Bottom of the Ocean Could Signal Future Catastrophe

Hole in the Bottom of the Ocean , Could Signal Future Catastrophe. Futurism reports that scientists have warned that a hole in the bottom of the ocean may signal an increased risk of earthquake activity in the area. Researchers at the University of Washington said that the seabed hole located off the coast of Oregon sits atop the Cascadia Subduction Zone fault line. 'Pythias' Oasis,' named after a mythological oracle, has fascinated scientists since it was first discovered in 2015. The hole in the ocean floor leaks almost-fresh water up into the ocean. . In research published in the journal 'Science Advances,' researchers suggest that the relatively fresh water may serve as a tectonic lubricant. Without that watery lubricant, the plate on which the hole sits could potentially shift in a catastrophic way. Loss of fluid from the offshore megathrust interface through these strike-slip faults is important, because it lowers the fluid pressure between the sediment particles and hence increases the friction between the oceanic and continental plates, University of Washington statement, via Futurism. Futurism reports that the UW team believes this is the first known ocean floor leak of its kind, while suggesting that others may exist nearby but have yet to be detected. According to the team, the water leaking out through the hole is warmer than the surrounding ocean water by about 16 degrees Fahrenheit. . The team suggests that "the fluid is coming straight from the Cascadia megathrust, where temperatures are an estimated 300 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.".
