Общественники предложили компенсировать школам рост цен на продукты
В этом году, по оценкам родителей, в некоторых регионах еда для детей в школьных столовых стала хуже. Как следует из письма, родители предъявили претензии школам, на что последние возразили: продовольствие подорожало, поэтому сохранять рацион в неизменном виде сложно.

Но при этом в Роспотребнадзоре «Известиям» рассказали, что в результате глобальной проверки в прошлом учебном году служба пришла к выводу: в школах стали меньше и реже ухудшать качество питания школьников.

A theory of “contagious” dark matter proposed
Physical Review Letters: proposed a theory about the origin of dark matter from ordinary ordinary (baryonic) matter and is also capable of creating more dark matter from ordinary matter.

At some point, new dark matter particles began to produce even more dark matter particles from ordinary particles. This process continued until dark matter reached the amount that is observed today. It is noted that in such a scenario of “infection”, in the end, nothing could remain in the Universe except dark matter particles.
