THE WHILE LOOP

Over time, there have been numerous incidents, which later turned into the famous stories about people who in one way or another have defied time. Based on these bizarre happenings, was born and question if ancient civilizations had secret time travel or is it something else?
The story of the Seven Sleepers
During the persecution dictated by the Roman emperor Decius, somewhere around 250, a fascinating story happened. Christians were in dispute with the Roman state and the fear that is not run, seven young people have taken refuge in a cave. They fell into a deep sleep and when they woke up they went to the city of Ephesus in order to buy food.
They were stunned when they learned that they had not slept for a night in that cave but for 200 years. When Emperor Theodosius II decreed the incident found that the seven have risen from the dead, not that it actually had a jump in time 200 years. Seven lived a normal life and when they died they were buried in that cave, which took its name from the cave of the Seven Sleepers.
How is it that the seven to be traveled in time? Nobody can answer that question, but if you take a close look in the Bible actually realize that the stories are extremely dense. One of them is the disciple Abimelech had gone for a good period of time.
Abimelech, figs and time dilation
The Bible tells us that the prophet Jeremiah dictated the book to one of his disciples named Baruch, in the year 604 BC Some of the writings of Baruch did not find place in the Old Testament, however, due to incompatibility with the teaching of the Church. Thus, in Chapters III and IV of this text censored story can be read below. Jeremiah, who was among the six great prophets, was also, like many of his colleagues, a political agitator natural.
Jeremiah asked for a meeting with Exalted Angel, and this meeting was granted. But the presence of the Lord, the prophet begs him to spare his young friend Abimelech, who had saved much of the swamp. Lord showed understanding and Jeremiah advised to send friend "mountain road" to via a certain Agrippa, where he will be safe until this is over. The next day, Jeremiah Abimelech sent him saying: "Get a basket and go to the property of Agrippa to get some figs. You will give the sick and the poor. "
A few days later, the enemy conquered Jerusalem. The survivors, including Jeremiah and Ezechil were deported to Babylon. but Abilemec not learned anything about this terrible event. He went cheerfully on mountain road when he was swept by a sudden dizziness. Then sat down with the basket full of fresh figs from his knees, and fell asleep.
He woke up after a few seconds - it seemed to him - and the fear of being scolded by Jeremiah that lingered on the road, rushed to Jerusalem. But it did not recognize any city, no house, no family of his own ...
Abimelech is in despair. He missed just as he went to gather figs and behold, the world has changed.
For him Abimelech comes an old man and asks him what city is it in front of him. The old man replied that it is Jerusalem. Abimelech asks what happened to the city, the priest or the scribe Baruch, and other people you know. He adds that no longer knows the city. The old man replied cautiously: "You're talking about Jeremiah and ask for news about him after all this time? It's a long time since Jeremiah was deported to Babylon, with all the people. "
Abimelech believe that old is not sane and regrets, given his advanced age, he can not insult him or take him laughing. Ask what time is still convinced that it was absent so much as he had to pick figs:

"Here, see for yourself. Get them. Look at these figs! "Saying this, Abimelech sidestep Panera cover. And the old man sees the figs were still flies. Then say, "Son, you are a righteous man ... But you know it's been sixty-six years since people were deported to Babylon. To realize that this is the truth, look at this field. The seeds have just sprouted longer by the time of figs! "
Urashima Taro and his journey over 300 years
Urashima Taro story of the young fisherman comes from ancient Japan. The fisherman went to sea in search of god protector Ry. Finally he finds an underwater palace.
Young feels they missed home only three days, but when they realize that they have gone back 300 years. His friends and family were missing for a long time, but as legend Taro had to pay the ultimate price that could get in touch with god protector.
These are just some of the most impressive stories where normal people defy the laws of time. Of course they were assisted by the gods to walk fast on the time line, however it can be concluded that while the jump is possible under certain conditions.

Is it mere coincidence?

Without falling prey to superstition or conspiracy theory, a good look at history shows that all the years of "14" in the queue configured century trend in the war-peace dichotomy. It is a "hazard" that could be fully present in 2014 because of uncomfortable parallels.
As a result, some analysts question, for example, if the year 2014 will be as disastrous as 1914, with World War I, which precipitated the self-destruction of Europe. From the historical point of view, it seems that years ending in "14" tone century in war or peace. "When did this happen? What are the elements recorded in the years ending in "14" and have led to an era of war or peace? Trend might confirm 2014 there situations today commonalities with previous centuries ?
The questions mentioned above have been put Alexandre Melnik, born in Moscow, associate professor of geopolitics at ICN Business School Nancy-Metz (France), who says, "without being superstitious or plots or Marxist Theorizing convinced that "history has a meaning", "believes that throughout the ages, years ending in" 14 "have a historically specific, very strong. The events that marked their DNA created their ages, especially in terms of war-peace dichotomy. Moreover, in his novel, who scored the phrase "war and peace" in the world culture heritage, Leo Tolstoy was inspired by Napoleon's campaign in Russia, which began in force in 1812 and ended in a glorious all the abdication Emperor on 4 April 1814. Much for us back in history, Ian Hus, Czech theologian, was closed in 1414, following the excommunication by the Church because of heresy, for next year to be burned alive. Protestantism see him as a precursor rise to reforms, the series of conflicts and wars. After a century in 1514 instead gives the example of peace in an explosive initial situation: the first Portuguese ships reached the island Tunmen, near Canton, and hit the Chinese refusal to allow the deck to land their . After long and tough negotiations, reached a bilateral agreement. After two centuries, Russia, about recovery, feeling the wind in the stern, crushes, in 1714, Sweden in the battle of the Great War in the North Storykoro occupy Finland and expand military first elements of the tsarist empire on the Baltic countries. 1814 is obviously at the beginning of the Congress of Vienna, which outlined physiognomy and major geopolitical balance in Europe during the 19th century, after the collapse of Napoleon's empire. This Congress will remain in history as the first attempt shaped geopolitics following diplomatic talks to establish European peace based on national balance of power, a source of inspiration for future supranational bodies such as the League of Nations and the UN. Finally, do not forget that the previous century began truly geopolitical June 28, 1914, with the assassination in Sarajevo of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro - Hungarian throne, and his wife, Sofia, the by Bosnian Serb nationalist, Gavrilo Princip, a member of a secret society. It was the event that triggered World War. Because of this it makes sense that in January 2014, and the dawn of the 21st century to learn the lessons of historical experience, not to fall into the trap "passeisme" and without forgetting that history does not repeat the same again.
Asked who was, each time, the geopolitical consequences of events that reminded Prof. Alexandre Melnik responds that "in each case, those implications were crucial. The Congress of Vienna cooled euphoria of the French Revolution in 1789, which meant that, on a global scale, reflecting universal values that transcend national borders and barriers erased, as he consecrated the idea that national interests to be at the origin of the famous "realpolitik "which conceptualized a later Henry Kissinger, Secretary of State, one of the architects of American diplomacy during the" cold War "(...) in his part, World War I broke a hundred years, the program initialize secolulului 20, which froze development of the whole planet, due to the conflict of ideologies, with its terrible legacy of totalitarianism: fascism, Nazism, communism.
What key factors and events may set the tone of this century? The question before answering the teacher recalled that the main feature of 2014, compared with the past, is the fundamental fact that it will increase and will be increasingly heard all about real change in the world that lives around mankind. The magnitude of this change in civilization is comparable to the Renaissance of the late 15th century, the routine use of early printing in the West , or the invention of electricity during the second industrial revolution at the intersection of 19th and 20th centuries. This gigantic change can be measured by a semantic metamorphosis: the same words that we use for decades, before we think too much of their original meaning, does not mean today the same as before: time, space, intelligence, education, etc.. (...) Year 2014 will be, above all, the acceleration of globalization, with the two main driving forces which completely changes the planetary data, reflected mainly by the loss of the West "its monopoly on History" held for several centuries, in favor of new poles of excellence in steady ascent: China, Brazil, India, South Korea, Russia, etc.. - That adapt better and faster to the imperatives of the new world.
Deserves attention and Iranian issue, and we can ask to what extent this file thorny one key to determining whether the 21st century will be a war or peace. Consequently, the question arises whether this ability to resume dialogue with Iran will be determined from such a perspective. These Ardavan Amir-Aslani answer questions, lawyer and essayist, a specialist in Middle East, claiming that 2014 will bring the final integration of Iran into the community of nations and kingdoms that despite attempts of Persian Gulf oil. Among the arguments that he brings and that is that this country has a trans influence. Finally, when talking about Iran envisages a country that has its subsoil largest gas reserves in the world and is ranked third in terms of oil reserves. Iran is not only an energy giant, but a civilization, and this need it is articulated on three axes: regional stability, calming religious conflict and power Asian and European applications. As a result, the return of the concert of nations will result in a first stage tipping center of interest from the decaying old western oil kingdoms in the southern Persian Gulf to the north of this sea, that Iran, Iraq and Turkey .
Following the same line of comparison between 2014 and 1914, use the phrase "parallel uncomfortable" and argues that "the trigger a major conflict that no one sees it, will appear, this time not from the Balkans but China Sea ". At the dawn of 1914, optimism was generally recalls Business Insider. Globalization and new technologies (telephone, navigation steam train) were an everyday reality. A few months later, the world has entered the war that cost the lives of nine million people and pushed Europe into chaos and barbarism of Nazi and Stalinist totalitarianism borders were closed, and the winds of globalization economist John Maynard Keynes has reappeared only in 1945, and certainly in the '90s, when Eastern Europe and China came into play. Memory is very vivid horrors of the world wars. The parallels between 1914 and 2014 are not lacking though. USA are the UK since then, a superpower in decline, unable to guarantee global security. Its main trading partner, China (1914, UK was Germany), means economic strength and comfort to becoming a military power pushed long frustrated nationalism and venturing into an arms race .                                                                                          
And modern Japan is France in 1914. Superpower ally whose hegemony delete old and a regional power in decline. It can rightly challenge these parallels. There is, however, something that is not objectionable, blindness and complacency. Politicians are playing with nationalism as a century ago. In China, anti-Japanese propaganda never ceases to expand and Japan replica resorting to the old warlike rhetoric. But to make the world safer than it takes first American diplomacy more active and effective. Obama must cease to be a spectator of world evolution undecided. Withdrawing from the Middle East, and commitments without taking on Syria, maneuvering during the Arab revolutions and not giving a new place in world issues new giants, China, Brazil, India, Indonesia, American diplomacy again shows a lack of ambition and ignorance lessons of history.
