The skull and pipe

The skull and pipe

In some paintings, death smokes a pipe, and there are three ways to think about that thing. Or I have seen one painting or woodcut, where death has portrayed while that horrifying character is sitting and smoking. Does that mean that tobacco causes cancer? In the modern time that thing would mean that but on the 18th. century there was no knowledge about cancer and the connection between tobacco and cancer.

But who knows, how much of those things kept secret in the 18th. century. Cancer would be a good way to ditch the people, who knew too much. The normal people did not know, what that thing, what caused blood in the sputum, and death very soon. So did the ancient doctors knew the connection between cancer and tobacco? Those things were secrets, that they could use to make people unable to tell anything when they are divorced from the active commanding position.

But another thing, what that pipe might mean is that if the person has put the active carbon filter in the pipe. And then the careless person would come to threat that thing, what is portrayed as death, that can be the last thing, what that person can ever do. If the room is filled with carbon monoxide, the filter can save the person's life, but the intruder would die.

And in some science fiction stories in the pipe would cover the small generator. That thing would give electricity to the small magnetron, which will give electromagnetic impulse to target, and that thing would cause even death. These kinds of things are always happening in science fiction tales. This kind of thing is making heroes or the master of bad guys invincible in the many tales, what are meant for the younger audience. These kinds of things are the most interesting examples of productive thinking, what makes us human beings.

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...

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper?  The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown.  But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with t...

The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862)

Image I The interesting coincidence between  USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862) Far away from its time is the thing, that you might notice when you see those two images. The upper one (Image I) is portraying the modern naval USS Sea Shadow (IX-529)(1) experimental Stealth ship, which was created by Lockheed-Martin, and the image below (Image II) is portraying the CSS Virginia (2), the ironclad from the Civil War Era. The thing why the hull of the CSS Virginia, what is ironclad from 1862 is that the ammunition of the cannons would not transfer their impact energy to the hull of the ship. And the reason why Sea Shadows hull has this form is that it should point the radar echo away from the hull.  The thing that I must say that CSS Virginia is far ahead its time because that structure is effective against the explosive ammunition, and the slanting armor of tanks like T-34 and Sherman have made them effective. But for some reason, the use of slanting ...
