Pratap Simha is scorpion nurtured by BL Santhosh: MB Patil
Bengaluru: BJP MP Pratap Simha's remarks have sparked a controversy, with Minister of Large and Medium Industries MB Patil responding strongly during a press conference held at his residence in Sadashivnagar on Tuesday. Patil accused Simha of being akin to a scorpion and claimed that BJP National Organization General Secretary BL Santosh had nurtured him, along with several other individuals. Patil expressed his disappointment with Simha's continuous personal attacks against him and emphasized the need for respectful discourse.
Addressing the media, Patil stated that he values and respects everyone, highlighting the cultural ethos of inclusiveness. He refuted Simha's characterization of him as Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's follower and labeled such accusations baseless. Patil criticized Simha for his lack of knowledge regarding the significance of industrial portfolio, citing his own role as Minister of Large and Medium Industries. He further added that Simha should ask significance of the portfolio to PM Modi.
Patil clarified that his reference to BL Santosh should not be misconstrued as an insult to the entire Brahmin community. He affirmed the positive and cordial relationship he shares with the Brahmin community, inviting anyone interested to witness it in Vijayapura. Patil called upon Simha to cease his personal attacks and expressed concern about Simha's state of mind.

China tests new Hydrogen bomb without nuclear fusion
Beijing: China has reportedly tested a new kind of explosive device that uses hydrogen but does not involve any nuclear materials. This new weapon was developed by the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC). It works differently from traditional hydrogen bombs, which rely on nuclear fusion. Instead, this device uses a chemical reaction with a substance called magnesium hydride. The explosion creates a powerful fireball that gives off extreme heat for a longer time, reported Economic Times.
The explosive weighs only 2 kilograms and uses a unique method to create a powerful blast. Magnesium hydride, which stores hydrogen at high densities, breaks down quickly when triggered by a normal explosive. This releases hydrogen gas, which then mixes with air and catches fire. The result is a fireball with temperatures above 1,000°C much hotter than regular explosives like TNT.
Quoting Wang Xuefeng, a top scientist at the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), The Economic Times reported that hydrogen explosions require very little energy to ignite and can spread rapidly. Wang explained that such fires possess the intensity to burn through strong materials, including aluminium alloys. Due to its precision and destructive power, the device could be highly effective in targeted military strikes.
During a field test, the explosive showed a peak pressure of 428.43 kilopascals at a distance of two meters. This is around 40% of the pressure made by TNT. But the real strength of this device lies in the heat it produces. While most explosives create a quick shockwave, this one keeps burning at very high temperatures for more than two seconds.
This long-lasting heat could make the explosive useful for hitting specific military targets, such as power plants or communication centers. It could also be used to block enemy forces by burning roads or transport routes, making them unusable.
