Thoughts about the future, world, and technology

Image Source: (https://www.quantamagazine.org/‘Post-Quantum’ Cryptography Scheme Is Cracked on a Laptop) The fact is that quantum computers are a new thing. Those new and powerful systems are making the regular, binary cryptography old-fashion. Traditional RSA cryptography is very easy to break by using quantum computers.  So there it needed a new algorithm that can protect networks against quantum computers. This is why NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) published the race, to create next-generation cryptography. The advances in quantum computing are huge. And that means those systems are turning more common.  So maybe quite soon the first quantum servers are in use in private corporations. And sooner than we think, the first quantum-PC:s are sold in supermarkets. That means we must create new algorithms and methods for protecting our networks against quantum hackers.  There is a problem that nobody knows what will be the next step in quantum technolog...

Above: Dart mission.  The growing economy requires innovation and trust.  The price of the JWST and Artemis is very high. But the fact is that they are advancing economical advantage. Those kinds of high-profile projects are a good introduction to the know-how of the actors that are working with them. This thing will bring companies to offer their ideas and discuss with NASA and its cooperatives about advancing space technology in civil and military areas.  When we are thinking about the price of the moon program. We always forget that the moon program gave many sidelines like velcros. And the experience of heavy-duty systems. But it also opened the path to developing lightweight computers and later artificial intelligence. So the projects like Artemis and JWST are offering the framework where new products can develop.  Things like Mars-rovers are also offering the tool how to test independently operating vehicles and the artificial intelligence software that can tur...

The next attempt to launch Artemis 1 mission is maybe on Friday.  The fact is that the new era of spaceflight is rising. New heavy-duty cargo systems like Artemis and Space-X's Starship are making history.  They allow creating the new type of missions where large structures can assemble at the Earth and moon orbiters. The miniature shuttles can use as assistant systems that are putting the parts of the large-size structures in the right places.  But why the Moon is an important thing for the next-generation space missions? The space station that is on the moon's surface offers a good place to test the technology that is needed on Mars and farther. But another thing is that the Moon is needed for interplanetary flights for one reason. Interplanetary flights are based the nuclear-powered spacecraft. The nuclear reactor that is used in those missions is dangerous because radioactive material from those reactors can fall to Earth.  Sending a nuclear reactor to the Moon's...

In 1942, Robert A. Heinlein wrote the novel "Beyond This Horizon". That novel is about biotechnological people. And that thing seems to be true. Cloning and genetic engineering make it possible to create individuals that have never been seen before. So, pinned evolution may already be a reality. And genetic engineering takes us step by step toward accelerated evolution. ************************************************************************* "An Israeli firm wants to replicate a successful mouse embryo experiment with human cells".

Image: 1)  Creating air-breathing hypersonic technology is more difficult, than using regular rockets and hypersonic gliders. Those gliders are connected with regular rockets. Most hypersonic missiles are regular systems that use regular rocket engines and hypersonic gliders. Hypersonic gliders are warheads that are designed to act like extremely fast gliders.  But air-breathing hypersonic systems are necessary for the creation of hypersonic jet fighters. A hypersonic glider is like some kind of space shuttle that is shot to ballistic jump. That system can fly in the atmosphere the entire time. Or if the rocket booster is strong that can rise that system to earth orbiter.  The air-breathing hypersonic system can be shot from aircraft. Or it can also shoot to ballistic trajectory by using a rocket booster. The air-breathing hypersonic missile can fly in a high atmosphere. Those systems can dive back into the atmosphere far away from the target. They are flying lower than s...

New machines like autonomous nanorobots are the next generation thing in technology. The miniaturized technology requires new tools. And one of those tools is enzymes that are controlling chemical reactions very carefully. Tools that turn enzymes by using a combination of lasers, microwaves, and chemical mixtures require very effective computers. And quantum computers are the tool that makes nanotechnology more powerful than ever before.  Quantum computers are the tools that are revolutionizing astronomy and other sciences. They can read the DNA molecules and compile that information for finding similarities in the DNA sequences. In that process, the system can use scanning tunneling microscopes or spectrometers that are connected with laser microscopes.  Quantum computers that are connected with the nanorobots can make a copy of any DNA in the world. Those systems can control huge entireties. And they can solve even energy problems of the Earth. Quantum computers are the tool...

The biggest threat to the human race is the rise of the global environment's temperature. The reason for that rise in the temperature is that we use energy sources that are delivering carbon dioxide to the atmosphere causing a rise in the temperature. We use old-fashion technology because we don't want to invest the new energy sources.  Technology and especially, wrong-used technology can cause global problems. Things like carbon monoxide emissions, waste of natural resources, and pollution along with overpopulation are causing very big risks. So those risks are more problematic than some military technology because people think that civilian technology is safe. Things like pandemics can cause very large-scale human problems for mankind. Even if epidemics will not kill people directly things like epidemics that are destroying food such as corn and rice can cause famines. Also when we are thinking about polluted ground and water, those things can cause very bad situations. But t...

We might already have technical time bombs on our planets. Things like nuclear weapons which operators must turn key after a certain time can cause a dangerous situation. The idea of this kind of nuclear weapon is that turning the key tells the system that the operator is alive. And if that key will not turn the system might think that the operators are dead. And then it will start an attack against suspected enemies. Another problem is the robot submarines that mission is to hide under the sea. Those systems might program that if the communication signal between that robot submarine and its base cuts the submarine will start to attack the "enemies".  The technical time bomb can be made on purpose or accidentally. In some visions, there is some kind of leak in the nuclear waste storage. And then suddenly that leak can cause a nuclear reaction. Technical time bombs are the things that can cause local or global damage.  When AI is turned on more common in military systems there...

The full article about those six atoms and brain imitation is in the New Scientist. But the fact is that these kinds of ideas are revolutionizing quantum technology. There is theoretically possible that atoms can make similar structures like neurons.   And, of course, that brings fascinating ideas to neuroscience but also for artificial intelligence. Some researchers have introduced a model where the electron layers of the atom act as the neuron's membrane. The superpositioned and entangled electrons make channels that are acting as axons in this quantum brain.  The memory blocks that are needed for making the quantum brain function are the electrons that are at the Rydberg state. This thing makes it possible to make the atom cloud where the atoms are formed the 3D structure that is similar to the human brain.  This is one of the visions of the extremely advanced quantum systems. There are many versions of this theoretical quantum computer that has the form of an ato...

New genetic research uncovered that the depleted uranium ammunitions didn't cause the famous "Gulf war illness". The reason for those symptoms was in nerve agent sarin (1). Sarin or GB is one of the deadliest chemicals in the world. And it has a deadly effect, even if the person wears protective suits.   Organophosphates like VX, sarin, soman, and tabun cause death by skin contact. Also, even if the person has the counter-chemicals or antidotes to sarin like atropine, Biperiden, and pralidoxime. (2).  The chemical database says: "The lethal dose for man is estimated to be 0.01 mg/kg". (3). even if the dose is not deadly, can sarin cause permanent nerve damage. (4)  The sarin and other G-agents remain on the surface layers like weapons and other equipment. Those chemical weapons can cause ADHD-like symptoms.  So operators must remove nerve agents from the surfaces in the poisoned area very carefully because even a low dose of those chemicals can cause symptoms. T...

USS Zumwalt All three Zumwalt-class destroyers are getting new and powerful hypersonic missiles.  Those missiles have a speed of Mach 5+. And they have a very long range, says the article in the Eurasian Times. The installation of those new hypersonic missiles means that the advanced 155mm. gun turrets are removed and replaced by hypersonic missile tubes. The details about that modification are in the article below this text.  The world is waiting for new lightweight and portable super- and hypersonic systems. Military forces can install those hypersonic systems in vehicles like main battle tanks. Or they can even be man-portable.  The new hypersonic systems can shoot dummy or intelligent ammunition. And they are the most powerful systems in the world.  Hypersonic systems are not always missiles. They might be things like rail guns. And maybe the next stage in hypersonic weapons is the guided hypersonic ammunition for artillery. Railguns can accelerate artillery gren...
