Concept of Vector Multicomponent Physical Quantities, Models and Measurement Method by V. N. Nesterov

“…There are three positions of this conception in this paper, which are formulated as follows: vector multicomponent physical quantities are considered as functions of the set of their constituent information components; the communication functions of the specified information components in the models of multicomponent physical quantities are determined by the laws of vector algebra; information models of vector multicomponent physical quantities allow an alternative representation of information components depending on the selected coordinate system.The mathematical model of the vector multicomponent physical quantity is presented. …”

Between Astronomy and Revelation: Reassessing the Star of Bethlehem in Matthew 2:1–12 by Sugihyono, Nicolien Meggy Sumakul, Mangiring Sinaga, Natassa Sandriana, Norlina Rambu Jola Kalunga, Mulyani Susana

“…Employing a qualitative, literature-based method, the research critically examines various astronomical hypotheses—including planetary conjunctions, comets, and supernovae—alongside symbolic and theological readings grounded in biblical and patristic sources. The findings demonstrate that naturalistic explanations fail to fully account for the unique characteristics of the star, such as its guided movement, selective visibility, and stationary positioning above a specific location. …”
