The Zimmermann Telegram


The Zimmermann Telegram was the thing that caused that the USA joined the First World War in 1917. The famous encrypted telegram was sent by Arthur Zimmermann (1862-1940) the official of the Imperial German foreign ministry, and he sent the telegram or shaper saying coded telegram to the Mexican government for asking the possibility that the Mexican government would start to attack against the USA. 

The name of "Zimmermann" means "Room man", which means that it could be some kind of code name. The Zimmermann-Telegram send by the secretary of foreign affairs Arthur Zimmermann to the Germany's Mexican ambassador Heinrich von Eckhard on January 6, 1917. The Mexican government denied the suggestion after the USA joined the war. 

The idea was that the German officers trained and lead the Mexican troops in that war, what object was to attack against the USA, and then the main purpose was to eliminate the British supply areas in Canada. But for that thing, Zimmermann would need Mexican troops. So the code that Zimmermann used for coding that telegram broke by the cryptologists, and then the USA join the war. 

The question is why Zimmermann sends that message without the needed level of security? Why he didn't use the safer code or the code, what could open with one-time use crypto key? The most important messages must code by using extremely high security, which means that the crypto key must be single-used. 

Why he used only numbers, what made picking the coded message easy, and then the cipher key for that message somehow went in the hands of the USA signal intelligence. The question is did Zimmermann make that thing on purpose? When the USA joined WWI that offered Imperial Germany an honorable road away from the war, which cost millions of lives. The Zimmermann Telegram is one of the examples, how one mistake can change history.

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. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.  An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. 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. The metamaterial can cru
