  Ottoman-Portuguese Conflicts...

  The Ottoman conquest of Constantinople played a decisive role in fostering the Renaissance in Western Europe. The Byzantine Empire’s influence had helped ensure that it was the custodian of various ancient texts, most notably from the ancient Greeks, and when Constantinople fell, Byzantine refugees flocked west to seek refuge in Europe. Those refugees brought books that helped spark an interest in antiquity that fueled the Italian Renaissance and essentially put an end to the Middle Ages altogether.  
  	It was also roughly around this time that a period of European exploration began, and major factors that contributed to this period of exploration were introduced by the Chinese, albeit indirectly. The magnetic compass had already been developed and used by the Chinese sailors since the 12th century, although it had first been created in the 3rd century BCE as a divination device. The Song Dynasty then began using the device for land navigation in the 11th century and sailors began using it shortly after. The technology slowly spread west via Arab traders, although a case can be made for the independent European creation for the compass (Southey 1812: 210). Regardless, by the 13th century the compass had found its way to Western traders, coming at a time that trade had been increasing across Europe.  
  	The Portuguese started exploring the west coast of Africa and the Atlantic under orders from Prince Henry the Navigator. At this point, Europeans had not yet been capable of navigating completely around Africa since the ships being built were not yet fully capable of being able to sail very far from the coast and navigation in open waters was difficult, but the Portuguese continued pushing down the western African coast looking for ways to bypass the Ottomans and Muslims of Africa who had been making overland trade routes difficult. .

  Elementary Particles -...

  Elementary particles are the most fundamental building blocks of the universe. Unlike atoms, which can be broken down into protons, neutrons, and electrons, elementary particles are indivisible—they have no known internal structure. These particles, governed by the principles of quantum mechanics, form the basis of all matter and energy interactions. 
  The concept of elementary particles has evolved over time. In ancient philosophy, matter was thought to be composed of indivisible units called "atoms," a term coined by the Greek philosopher Democritus. However, modern science has shown that atoms themselves are not fundamental, as they consist of smaller components. By the early 20th century, scientists had discovered the existence of protons, neutrons, and electrons, leading to the birth of particle physics as a discipline. 
  The real breakthrough in understanding elementary particles came with the development of quantum mechanics and relativity. In the 1920s and 1930s, physicists formulated quantum field theories that described how particles interact through fundamental forces. By the mid-20th century, experimental discoveries revealed that protons and neutrons were not fundamental but composed of even smaller particles called quarks. This led to the development of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, which remains the best theoretical framework for describing elementary particles and their interactions.

Pelley ran for President of the United States in 1936 as the Christian Party candidate. He was indicted twice for sedition and was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment. Pelley was paroled in 1950 from Federal Prison in Terra Haute, Indiana. After his release, he returned to Noblesville, Ind. and began publishing metaphysical magazines and books avoiding political topics. He spent his time developing Liberation doctrine into a full-blown religion known as Soulcraft.
