National identity is more than just genomes

1. National identity is more than just genomes

Sometimes have been claimed that the genomes make people, and the reason, why some nations are so strong is because of Genomes. That kind of things are used for making people proud of their nation, and the strong genomes are connected to the warrior stories and people like Genghis Khan or Vikings. And those people are raised in the mythical position in the history of some nations, what want to be proud of their mythic roots in somewhere past. In the national awakening, ancient warriors have an important position.

2. National awakening is sometimes bad for the research

National awakening has caused the thing, that the genetic research of the nation and also anthropology have seen some kind of the negative point of view, because every person, who are interested in the national history have stamped as the fanatic nationalist. And every theory, what those people would introduce are of course far wing nationalist way to see things, and sometimes that thing is true. During the national awakening, people are sometimes even persecuted the scientists, who had different opinions than the leaders of the nation.

In the late 20th century and in the early years of the independence of the nations like Finland, the nationalists have found the things, why some people are better than others, and at that time introduced the theory, that the Finnish people have the best genomes in the world, because the long journey via the Tibetan mountains from Hungary to modern Finland have been eliminated the bad genomes from the people.

3. Did the Family of Jesus Christ go with nomads, when they have escaped the persecution?

When we are thinking about the text above, we would think that this is something very ridiculous. Of course, that kind of theories are supporting only the nationalism and they must be stunned. But then we can think that at the end of the period of the Roman empire the Christianity was the religion of the empire. But the thing was that the ideology of the Christians was put to serve the benefit of the Roman emperor, who got the justification from God himself.

And the Pope was the only person, who had the right to say something for the Emperor. For the Emperors and their closest men, Jesus was the best while he was dead. That means that the family of Jesus must afraid, and during the Migration Period, those people might leave their homes for escaping the hand of the emperor, and the rulers of the Rome, who rewrote the Holy texts in the form, what supports their own benefit.

4. "God is in our side"

Have you hear the motto "God is our side". This thing has been fascinated by the leaders of the nation. If god is in the side of some tribes, that would justify the things, what they have done. That kind of things was interested the national leaders, who wanted to hear stories about the "great northern boys". When we are thinking other nations, who also are proud of their past, we must see Norwegians, who were Viking, and that thing should make them tough, but do we know some Norwegian?

Or are the modern Finnish people tougher than some other people? I really like to believe that, because I'm Finnish, but in fact, I must say that modern Finns and Norwegians are not tougher than any other nationalities. And here we must say that the culture is the thing, what makes nationalities. If we are thinking about modern Finnish or Norwegian, we don't think that person is the descendant of some ancient warriors, who were traveling in the forests of the Sibir, or descendant of Vikings, who were the best warriors in the world.

5. Does aggressive behavior cause the enriching of a certain type of genomes?

The reason why some nations have behaves like that they would drink very much alcohol and become aggressive. The ability to aggressive behavior in the situations when the level self-control has been decreased is explained by the reason, that during the journey in the Arctic tundra only the strongest and fighter types were able to survive.

That means that the genome type, what causes aggressive behavior have been enriched in those nations. Also, behaviors are making national identities, and if the person sits on the chair and eats sausage, even the best genomes in the world would not rescue that inmate from the heart attack and overweight.

We are seeing normal people, who are going to Supermarkets and restaurants to getting their food, and we don't believe that we would go to the forest for hunting the food for ourselves, even if we are descendants of some ancient nomads, who left from Front Asia or area of modern Hungary to travel to the northern lands, when the Roman empire has been fallen.

6. Where would you go, if you afraid the persecution during Migration Period?

In the Migration Period, many bands have been left from their areas and that was the thing, what also the Finnish-Ugric people made. Here I mean the people, who have spoken those very extraordinary languages, there are no articles in the writing or spoken language.

In history were introduced one very interesting theory about the connection with the ancient Scandinavians and the holy bloodline. The thing is that in the period of the national awakening somebody introduced the theory, that the members of the family of Jesus Christ have been gone with those nomad tribes because of they afraid the persecution.

That kind of things is a very interesting part of the philosophy, and sometimes I have asked from myself, that where would I go if I would afraid something in the Roman empire? Maybe I would go to the far away from Rome, to the northern land, where the hand of the emperor would not touch. That kind of things is interesting to think when we are sitting in the evening, and when we don't have anything to do.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies.

The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material.
