The future of interstellar spacecraft.

   The future of interstellar spacecraft.  The interstellar spacecraft might not come to practice very soon. But the fact is that theoretical research. Along with careful missions is opening the road to the interstellar journey. And maybe the time of that mission will come in 200-300 years. The fact is that nobody knows when we are ready to travel to the other solar system. When we remember history many things have been "impossible".   The Chinese knew how to make gunpowder rockets in the 200s(1). And the Russian Konstantin Tsiolkovsky(2)(1857-1935) created theoretical research with rocketry and spaceflight in the 19th century. The thing is that things like interplanetary spaceflights. And space elevators(3) are also invented by Konstantin Tsilkovsky.  Image 2: Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (1857-1935) That man is called "the Father of the spaceflight". Tsiolkovsky also created research and articles about "lighter than air aviation". There was a rumor that Tsiolk...

The internet has been made many things safer. But it's a dangerous place.

Students are told not to use Wikipedia in research, but it's trustworthy. Says the article in "The Conversation".  The link to the article is here . But you can see the URL below this text.  The prohibition of using Wikipedia as a source for research is one of the most interesting questions in the studies. In normal cases the Wikipedia is trustworthy. And some people are saying that the purpose of that prohibition is to make work more difficult than it is.  The thing is that Wikipedia is trustworthy in the cases like computing and natural sciences. But there are also problems with the things like selecting sources for the works in the modern world. Things like books are good sources if they are confirmed. But the fact is that during the time of the internet the printed information might be old.  When books are coming to bookstores they might handle the old-fashion information. And that thing is visible in the most intensive areas like computing. The things that peopl...

Photocatalysis: the proton transfer between titania surface and dye observed

"When the titania and the dye adsorbed on its surface are irradiated with a femtosecond pulsed laser proton transfer from the dye molecules to the titania surface, the fluorescence of the deprotonated dye is observed. Credit: Reprinted with permission from J. Phys. Chem. C, 2021, 125, 40. 21803-22396 (Supplementary Cover). Copyright 2021 American Chemical Society."(https://scitechdaily.com/photocatalysis-evaluation-proton-transfer-between-titania-surface-and-dye-observed/) Today there was an article in the SciTech Daily about the protonic interaction between the titania layer and dye offered to make the new type of solar panels. In image two is the diagram of that kind of interaction. The thing is that increasing the number of protons on the layer. That thing increases the electronegativity of the layer. And that thing increases the flow of electrons.  But the proton interaction offers to make many other things than just create electricity. Increasing the electronegativity wo...

Fusion power is far away in the future.

Image: Pinterest Originally, the image above this text portrayed a donut-shaped space station called "Stanford torus". But it can also portray the donut-shaped power satellite, that uses the "Tokamak-type" nuclear reactor. This type of power station could deliver energy to the futuristic space stations that orbit Jupiter and other planets in the distant future.  The power satellites or zero-gravity conditions can solve some of the problems of the fusion reactor. The zero-gravity conditions are making it easier to control the high-energetic plasma. That orbits in the donut-shaped reactor.  At the beginning of this text, I must write about one of the most futuristic solutions for energy production. That thing is the energy satellites. The giant power stations that are orbiting Earth and deliver energy to the ground by using radio, laser rays, or targeted microwaves. The problem with those satellites is that they are easy to turn to weapons. And powerful microwaves or ...

The mixed reality is a powerful tool for many things.

The idea of mixed reality is that this kind of system can combine the real world with VR (Virtual Reality). The simplest idea is to make the robot that sends things what it senses to the controller. The robot's eyes would be the camera systems that are connected remotely to the VR glasses.  The ears of the robot are microphones. And they are sending data to the gamer's headset. The touch sense is the pressure detector that sends the feel of touch to the data gloves. Then the operator can interact with the physical robot. And that thing allows making safely many things that are very risky for the people. If we are thinking about the cases like nuclear accidents. And sadly battlefields those robots can use many types of communication systems. If the robot is inside the powerful electromagnetic field that can close the radio communication it can change to use laser-led for sharing data.  There are many types of interfaces that allow robots to operate very effectively. Those syste...

Could a hypothetical quark star be invisible?

There is the possibility that there are so-called "stealth stars" in the universe The hypothetical quark star is one of the "should be" objects. But there is no single observation of that type of star. Theoretically, quark stars are the medium between neutron stars and black holes. But why we cannot see that thing?  Could the reflection that comes from free quarks have a wavelength that we cannot observe? The free quarks will send the radiation that has so short wavelength that we cannot observe that radiation because we have no object that resonates with that thing. What if radiation comes straight from the surface of quarks? Normally the radiation comes from the quantum fields of atoms or protons and neutrons. But if there are free quarks somewhere in the universe, those quarks would send radiation that has so short wavelength that we cannot see that thing. So does that thing explain, why we have no observations about the hypothetical quark stars? Are those object...

The man behind quantum physics Max Planck

Max Planck (1858-1947) German scientist and the father of quantum mechanics Max Planck (1858-1947). In Finnish Wikipedia is claiming that he was baptized as  "Marx".  (2)But he used the name "Max" all his life. But history knows that man as Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck.  It is suspicious that the name "Marx" was the trick. Which mission was to deny the Nazis to make contact with that man. And the thing is that this man lived an unhappy life because all his children died before him. So the life of that man was not very happy.  His first son and the only child saw adulthood executed by Gestapo in 1945. Because he was involved in the  July 20 conspiracy against Adolph Hitler. Another interesting detail in this man's life was that his home was destroyed by an allied air raid in 1944.  The notes of that remarkable man were also destroyed in that incident.  Max Planck died at the age of 89 in the year 1947. And there is no physical merchandise that proved to...

New artificial intelligence learns by using the "cause and effect" methodology.

Image I The cause and effect methodology means the AI tests simultaneously the models that are stored in its memory. And when some model fits a case that the AI must solve, the AI stores that model to other similar cases. And in that case, the AI finds a suitable solution for things that it must solve. It selects the way to act that is most suitable for it. The most beneficial case means that the system uses minimum force for reaching the goal.  The "cause and effect method" in the case that the AI-controlled robot will open the door might be that the first robot is searching marks about things that help to determine which way the door is opening. Then the robot first just pulls the door and turns the handle. Then the robot tries the same thing but it pushes the door. Then the robot can note that the door is locked and find another way to get in.  But if a robot must get in it might have a circular programming architecture. If the robot cannot open the door by using the metho...

Skyrmions are an interesting phenomenon. (Skyrmion part II)

The question is: what makes that electromagnetic whirl called skyrmion? Could skyrmion form around some kind of quantum wire or quantum string? Skyrmions are virtual particles. They are short-living electromagnetic fields rather than particles. They can form complicated but short-living structures.  The form of skyrmions is interesting. Those things are like some kind of electromagnetic whirls. And there is a theory that skyrmions are the medium between particles and wave movement. The thing that makes skyrmion the virtual particle is that it seems like some kind of quantum hurricane. The skyrmions are made in the stable quantum fog called Bose-Einstein condensate. The quantum fog is frozen at the temperature of zero kelvin.  There is the possibility that skyrmion is like serpentine which turns to ball-shaped wave movement when it travels in the middle of the frozen quantum gas. The particles of the gas are turning the wave movement to the form of the ball. And that thing can ...

Thoughts about time dilation

Is time energy? When the speed of the particle increases the time on it slows. And when the particle reaches the speed of light time stops in it. But slowing the time in particles can be made by simply pumping energy to them.  Time dilation means that the existence of particles is extended. Sooner or later all particles in the universe are turning to wave movement. The reason for that is they are losing the energy that keeps them in the form of particles. But is wave movement practice. Yeas and no the wave-particle duality means that the material can turn to wave movement. And wave movement can turn to the material form.  But the wave-particle duality is possible only in the world of elementary particles. The wave movement can crepe to particles like quarks and electrons. But protons and neutrons cannot turn back to the particles because they are groups of particles.  So existence or lifetime of a particle means the time that protons and neutrons exist in their form. And ...

Emulating the human way to think is very difficult. But maybe someday, quantum computers will become more intelligent than humans.

When we think what is the thought about the human way to think. We must remember that making the spontaneously learning computer. It can be made by using a quantum computer. The learning process of the living organism is just connecting the action with the observation. And that thing makes spontaneously learning artificial intelligence harder to make as it should be. In real life, all that we see and feel are causing experience.  So theoretically, the learning machine must only record everything that it sees. But the problem is how to select things that are important for the individual? If the system records everything that means the databases are growing to enormous size. And that thing makes it hard to control data masses that are stored in the system.  Even the largest databases have limits. And in the case of artificial intelligence, the databases should be as small as possible. The system makes the network of those databases. So sometimes people are asking why there are s...

Even researchers don't know the entire capacity of skyrmions.

CREDIT: YIJIE SHEN (2021)" https://scitechdaily.com/a-new-family-of-electromagnetic-pulses-skyrmions-can-fly/ The skyrmions can fly. And they can be the solution for the data transmitting problem between quantum and binary computers. So it's the virtual particle. Because skyrmions can fly. Skyrmion can use to give extremely high accurate energy impacts to the targets. That ability can make it possible to make the high-accurate version of radiation therapy.  The skyrmion is like a whirling magnetic field that acts like a particle. The form of a skyrmion is the wave movement that is looking like a m...

There is the possibility to make the silently hovering craft without any SciFi technology.

Cooling the exhaust gas and closing the sound in the whirl makes it possible to create silent rockets and jet planes.  When we are thinking of the possibility to make the craft that is hovering silently over the ground. We can simply make the rocket- or jet engine system where the jet is closed in the sonic whirl or the LRAD system will close the exhaust gas inside the pressure wall. In that case, the sound of the exhaust gas cannot get out from that sound wall. And that thing makes it possible that people cannot just hear any sound when they are outside that sound wall.  The thing that explains why there is no burning effect in the grass. Would be that the exhaust gas will be cooled by using super cold water or gas like liquid nitrogen for cooling that gas. The thing is that by using this kind of system the craft can hover silently over the ground. This kind of virtual antigravitation system can be already in use.  Closing sound in the sonic whirl or some kind of sound b...

Precisely controlled light makes it possible to create layers that are only three atoms thick.

Making layers that are only three atoms thick can use to make the new extremely small-size microchips. But if those light tweezers can use on a large scale. That means this technology can use to create the new type of quantum materials. To the layers of some other material can put a couple of atom-thick layers.  That is making them harder. But the ability to move single atoms can make it possible to create new and more complicated nanostructures than ever before. If that system is combined with things like fullerene or nanotubes. That means the system can install the iron or some other atoms to the carbon molecules.  And in that case, the Van Der Waals forces between those atoms can use as the glue for making the new and more complicated nanostructures. The ability to move single atoms or only a couple of atoms at the same time makes it possible to create new molecules. Which angles are precisely positioned and that would make a revolution in nanotechnology.  What if we c...

There is a possible planet outside the Milky Way

The founding of the exoplanet candidate from the other galaxy is not very surprising. The thing is that other galaxies are similar to Milky Way. And that means there must be solar systems and planets like in our galaxy.  That means the universe is "full of planets" and we are just waiting to find a planet that can have lifeforms. The most feared moment is when we are first making contact with other civilizations. That time will be someday in the future. Even we would be alone in our galaxy, there is the possibility that there are other intelligent species in other galaxies.  The visions of the future of the human race And now I will explain why I believe that someday the human race will meat aliens. Even there is no other intelligent species other than humans in our Galaxy there is the possibility. That someday in the future we are moving to space and other planets.  In the future, the human race will travel to our solar system. And during that project, the goal would be ...

There are lots of data stored in superconducting material in the universe.

  Scientists have long time predicted that there is a connection between the physical universe and information. All material in the universe can turn to energy and backward. So energy is wave movement. And wave movement is information.  When we are thinking about information like wave movement and especially radio waves there is lots of data stored in superconducting material all around the universe. The problem is how to make that information come out from material?  But if that thing is someday possible to make. That thing would bring new data about the beginning of the universe and even aliens. The thing is that the metal bites are storing data if they are superconducting. And that data can download to the computers. The process is similar to the qubit and the system must know precisely the frequencies and power of the radio transmission.  The data is downloaded to the radio by using an antenna or the object will stress from the opposite side by using radio waves....

Expansion of the universe and gravitational waves are interesting things.

Gravitational waves are one of the biggest things that are discovered in the history of science. But the question is what gravitational waves exactly are. The gravitational waves are the things that are traveling through the universe. So is gravitation some kind of wave movement? Or is the gravitational wave the change of the mass of dark matter? Scientists are not sure what gravitational waves are. They can be the graviton bursts around the universe. But the problem is that there are no observations about gravitons.  There is only the wave where the weight of the material is somehow increasing. So there is the possibility that the gravitons are causing the gravitational waves. But another possibility is that the gravitational wave is the result of the radiation or wave movement between dark matter particles. The wave movement has a strange ability.  When it affects the particles their mass is rising. So the easiest explanation for the gravitational wave is that it's the wave ...

China tested a space-capable hypersonic missile.

Hypersonic weapons are the new threat in space. The weapon itself is the warhead that is designed to glide to the target using gentler trajectories than a conventional warhead. The hypersonic glider is a miniature shuttle that can return to base if it is not used in operations. The gentle trajectory makes it possible that the nuclear weapon can detonate in front of the tunnels or even inside them. And that thing makes it possible to use smaller warheads against hard targets.  The scramjet technology makes those weapons even more dangerous. The thing that is forgotten in hypersonic missiles is that the same vehicles can use as independent missiles. Or they can install it in the nose of the ICBM missile. That means that the scramjet-driven cruise missile can shoot to orbital- or suborbital trajectory by using a conventional rocket. Then that scramjet-driven missile can dive through the atmosphere and start the hypersonic flight against its target.  The hypersonic missile can use...

The galactic civilizations

Futuristic alien city The galactic civilizations or Kardashev scale 3 civilizations are the speculations of the models of advancing intelligent lifeforms. And I certainly hope that humans would someday in the future after thousands of years reach this scale. But the fact is that before species would turn to galactic or even interstellar scale civilization it must first conquer its solar system.  That is the first step for conquer the entire universe. But for taking the first step in the Kardashev scale the species must have the motive to make that kind of step. Making the bases to other planets is not cheap. And that's why there must be some kind of motive for that kind of investment.  One of the reasons why the civilization would want to establish bases and then cities to other planets could be the lack of raw materials and then overpopulation. The thing is that making the cities for ordinary people who have no training for space operations is a little bit different thing tha...

About the history of computers. From binary- to quantum systems.

  I'm just looking at my new Windows 11 update. And that thing brings interesting ideas to my mind. The research and development of quantum computers are faster than ever before. Even today we can use quantum computers by using remote connections.  But the fast-advancing tools in that sector cause that will be the time when quantum computers are for sale in supermarkets. The development and advancement of quantum computers are following the route of binary computers. The binary computers came out from laboratories. And then they became personal equipment.  The rise of the internet caused that the information stored in the network stations and the thing called PHP (Preprocessed Hypertext) made it possible that also small computers can use to drive complicated code. The PHP means that the system outsources complicated calculations in the calculation center. And the PHP would be the base for the systems that are used to operate quantum computers.  If the quantum compute...

Dark matter could offer an endless energy source.

The ion technology. And virtual antigravitation.  There is introduced an idea that the source of Hawking radiation is very close to the event horizon. The Hawking radiation is introduced being the emission radiation. Which source is in the highly energetic photons that are sometimes escaping behind the event horizon.  But in some theories, the source of the Hawking radiation is in the high energetic interaction between dark matter particles. And if that thing is true that means when the energy level is rising high enough that can make conditions where the dark energy which is predicted being electromagnetic wave movement which source is in dark matter interaction.  So when the energy level or temperature of dark matter is rising high enough. That thing makes the interaction between dark energy and visible material possible. In some particle-accelerator tests, the particles are put travel with extremely high speed that thing hoped to cause an impact between the visible par...
