Time dilation and interstellar travel

 I will not handle cryonics, genetic engineering, or transhumanism in this text. Those things require their essays. 

Many times before researchers wrote about the possibility that interstellar astronauts will protect themselves against aging by covering their spacecraft using ion whirl that travels with the speed of light. There is one big problem with this kind of travel. 

The universe expands all the time. And that means the energy level of the universe will decrease. The time dilation by using the ion whirl or Tipler cylinder is based on the idea that the system freezes the energy level of the craft at a certain level. That means the difference between energy levels in the spacecraft and its environment increase. 

That means when the system removes the rotating whirl, energy will start to travel out from the spacecraft, into its environment with a higher speed. And that means that in this model the aging of the particles is very fast. So the problem is that the energy level of the craft must rise so high that it will not be destroyed when time dilation ends. 

So every time, when the craft removes that cylinder it must make some kind of preparation. The energy level of the craft must decrease very slowly. Or the free energy released from the material destroys it.

The craft would use unmanned probes even if it would carry a crew before it enters the other solar systems. The preparation for that process would be very long-term. And that means the craft will not remove that cylinder or time-dilating system without a good reason. Whenever it removes that ion whirl or stops the rotation of the Tipler cylinder its material turns older.

In many visions, the futuristic interstellar spacecraft would be the combination of the O'Neill and Tipler cylinders. The O'Neill cylinder is the giant artificial world where are the plantations and other things. And Tipler cylinder is a fast-rotating shell or ion whirl that causes time dilation in the O'neill cylinder. 

The craft can have two or more shells. The shell operates AI-controlled probes. And the shells that are forming time dilation in the manned capsule.

Those things would be very large-scale projects. And that means they will be possible in the distant future. In some visions, the high-power magnetic fields or electrons that turn those electrons into miniature black holes can keep this kind of structure in one piece.

The problem is that those crews will not return. But there is one way that can make this kind of system return to home even if the journey takes thousands of years. That thing is the time machine. In that model, the energy level of the craft will rise to the level that it will start to travel back in time. So otherwise saying, inside the craft will form a black hole. That energy level should be so high that it pushes craft into the fourth dimension.

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 ...
