Thoughts about the future, world, and technology

Modern computer technology is marvelous. Those AI-based simulations can calculate reflections from any surface and that means every object can turn into a spy tool. But when we are searching the net, use things like screenshots during net meetings, and then connect those screenshots with regular drawing programs like "Paint" we can use zoom and see things that the opponent might want to hide from us.  The thing is that mirrors and many other things along with pixel software and image recognition tools make it possible to see things that people want to hide quite easily. The ability to connect AI-based image manipulation and image processing tools with physical systems like drones is a big threat to privacy. The AI requires only similar objects that it sees from the camera. And then it can calculate reflections. Or the AI can create a virtual object that it can use as a simulation to make reflection sharper.  "Researchers from MIT and Rice University have developed a comp...

  "The nature of time, a concept fundamental to human life but still ambiguous in scientific parlance, is explored in the first episode of the new podcast series, Great Mysteries of Physics." (ScitechDaily.com/Great Mysteries of Physics: Is Time an Illusion?) Time and its shape are interesting things because if time is real. There is a possibility to travel to the past and fix it. But even if time is an illusion. There are many opportunities that this virtual time can make. We know that gravitation could be the key to answering that question.  Gravitational fields are dilating time. In the same way, speed is the thing that slows time, and that means there is something that forms this phenomenon. One of the possibilities that is making the thing called time is Higgs field. If the Higgs field turns denser when it closes the gravitational center. That means the particle that falls into the gravitational center faces a phenomenon, where more Higgs field will transfer in it than f...

Innovations in genetic engineering are interesting. Scientists transformed chicken scales into feathers. That might seem like a waste of time. The ability to affect the genetic material with enough high accuracy that scales transformed into feathers is a fundamental breakthrough. That means researchers can manipulate DNA sequences with very high accuracy.  And that allows them to make things like double the DNA sequences that control the brain advancing. That thing makes it possible to create things like intelligent pets that their owners can use in multiple missions. Those intelligent pets can work as an assistant for their owners.  "A transient change in expression of one gene (Shh) can produce a cascade of developmental events leading to the formation of feathers instead of scales. Credit: © UNIGE / Cooper & Milinkovitch" (ScitechDaily.com/Genetic Switch: Scientists Transform Chicken Scales Into Feathers by Modifying Gene Expression) Or this kind of genetic engineering...

Indirect cyber attack means cyber attacks targeted somewhere else than into the operative systems in the civil or military infrastructure. Brexit is one lesson that so-called indirect cyber attacks can cause. What if those methods used in Brexit would use in the election where the main theme was divorcing NATO?  Would that thing bring separation from NATO? Theoretically, the answer is "yes". There is the possibility that people will not read the list of the goals that some political movement has. And then they will vote for people who want to divorce from NATO.  We are protecting our military system against cyber attacks. But have we protected things like the decision-making system against the outcoming effect?  There are two ways to cause problems for the defense, and the first one is to select the government that destroys the defense. The second one is to make some kinds of sabotage into the military systems. But the government that dispands military is one of the versi...

Is the combustion engine dead? If a combustion engine uses hydrogen there is no pollution. The emissions in those kinds of systems are forming in the systems that create electricity for electrolysis that creates hydrogen. The electrolysis system can install in the car or any other vehicle. And the needed thing is electricity.  The hybrid hydrogen system means that fuel cells form electricity for electric engines. Hydrogen is a suitable fuel for all combustion engines. But the problem is how to produce that fuel. The system is similar to that used in diesel-electric submarines. The combustion engines were replaced by using fuel cells.  Image: Rimac Rimac Nevera is one of the fastest electric vehicles in the world. The acceleration from 0 to 400 km/h took 21,3 seconds. And in that time normal cars don't even accelerate to 100 km/h. The car uses four electric engines with incredible torque.  The thing is that the Rimac Nevera could be even more powerful if it uses a hydrogen...

Neutron stars are like giant neutrons. And their spin is extremely fast and sometimes people ask, how those neutron stars can stay in one piece. Gravitational waves that are traveling through those structures are the thing that glues those neutrons in one entirety.  When gravitational waves travel through the neutron star, they are reflected from structures inside that giant neutron. And that thing might help to find particles that can reflect gravitational waves. The extremely fast spin of neutrons is one of the things that causes interesting ideas in researchers' minds. And the new thing that is found near neutron stars is also interesting.  "The density at the heart of neutron stars is three to five times higher than that of an atomic nucleus; it’s the highest density achievable before a black hole forms. Nobody knows what happens to matter at such extreme densities. (ScitechDaily.com/Strange Quark Matter: Gravitational Waves Hold Clues to the Universe’s Densest Matter) One...

Soft earthworm robots can inject into the oil rig. And those systems can observe biological processes in the oil pocket. They can operate in the Antarctic ice, and then those robots can fall into the icy lakes without causing the air leak in those lakes that are the most exotic closed ecosystems.  The earthworm robots can also search for things that are under the hummus. Those robots can measure things like how the roots of the woods interact. And what kind of bacteria is in the ground?  But those robots can make many other things. They can see how the foundation of the house stands the seismic waves. And those worm robots are also capable to slip into houses. They can observe their environment by using surface and sub-surface cameras. Those robots also can use seismic sensors and plasma spectrometers to find things like pollution.  Artist's impression the NASA's robot snake. That can travel on icy moons. Those robots can have polymorphic structures. That means those robo...

Radiation can turn to material only in the point, where chaos impacts order.  Sometimes black holes are starting to travel across the universe. They are forming whirls in their trail. And those whirls are the thing that behind traveling black holes is forming stars. The reason why black holes are forming stars also when they are in stable places is this: those black holes are forming whirl. When that black hole is pulling material inside it, that thing forms the contact layer where s forming sub-whirls. And those sub-whirls are forming stars.  The whirls are making an order to plasma. And that thing turns chaos into order. We can say that stars and supermassive black holes can form only at the point where the order impacts chaos. At that point forms whirls that are turning into stars, galaxies, or some other objects. That's why the modern theory of everything involves chaos and order.  Once before, just after the Big Bang the universe was in order. And then another time w...

"A new model for human evolution asserts that modern Homo sapiens stemmed from multiple genetically diverse populations across Africa rather than a single ancestral population. This conclusion was reached after researchers analyzed genetic data from present-day African populations, including 44 newly sequenced genomes from the Nama group of southern Africa". (ScitechDaily.com/New DNA Research Changes Origin of Human Species) "The research suggests that the earliest detectable split in early human populations occurred between 120,000 to 135,000 years ago, after long periods of genetic intermixing, and that subsequent migrations created a weakly structured genetic stem. Contrary to some previous models, this research implies that contributions from archaic hominins were unlikely to have significantly affected Homo sapiens’ evolution".(ScitechDaily.com/New DNA Research Changes Origin of Human Species) Wikipedia/Hominidae New findings in the human genome are making it p...

The ChatGPT will be published as an open-source application, and at this point, we must realize, that Chat GPT will easily turn to GP AI. The requirement is that the system can make "daughter applications" like program tunnels. For it can control other software and computer through those applications.  What makes ChatGPT so powerful? That is it can create applications by using common programming languages. And it can create the application very fast if it knows what that application should do. Precise and accurate orders allow that Chat GPT can make an application that it can use to control computers and other software.  The ChatGPT is not allowed to make changes in its source code or those program bridges. But if somebody gets the source code in their hands, those changes are easy to make. Maybe the open-source version of the ChatGPT has not the same capacities as the commercial application, but that open-source application can work as a root, that can be used to make the ne...

The new version of the CRISP database was completed. And that thing is like turning the black and white TV into a colored model. CRISP or human genome mapping is the perfect tool for genetic research. And genetic engineering. If we think about things like genetic engineering and fixing genetic errors in human genomes, we must precisely know what certain genomes are doing. And that requires comparing with millions or trillions of base pairs in the DNA structure.  There is the possibility, that error in one base pair makes something very big. Today researchers have better knowledge about things like the purpose of so-called junk DNA. The term "junk DNA" means DNA sequences that cells do not read very often. Those sequences involve information that the cell uses rarely. Those so-called junk sequences involve information that controls the neural structures advancing.  "The Human Pangenome Reference Consortium has made significant progress in creating a more inclusive human r...

Theoretical physicists discovered the reason why light affects chemical reactions. The reason for that is light can affect the energy level of atoms. When light impacts atoms it rises their energy level. The energy level in atoms rises until it turns higher than its environment. Then that energy starts to flow out from atoms. That energy flow pushes other atoms away. We can think that energy is like the wind. And when energy travels out from an atom it moves to other atoms. When the energy flow ends that atom or its electron sends a photon. And that photon acts like a rocket engine.  When light impacts an atom it increases its quantum field energy level. The energy that travels out from an atom is pushing other atoms away. And that is the thing that breaks structure.  When energy travels out from atoms, that thing is called quantum annealing. In that process is forming an impact wave that travels out from the atom. That energy pushes other atoms away from the annealing atom. W...

The worst thing that can happen in working life is that the boss will not notice the worker. There is a possibility that if the boss ever gives responsibility to some henchman that causes the end of the career. The person ever has changed to show the skills. And that can destroy the career. The best way to be nobody is just to wear grey or colorless clothes, hide behind some computer screen and hide your face. Things like attempts to be just like others mean that the boss has 15 similar persons who have the same skills.  If we want to get promotions, we should make the boss see that "we are the guys" who that person wants to hire. In that process, we should convince the boss that nobody can beat us. Nobody is better than we are. And then, almost finally, the boss must think that we are the guy, who that person wants to hire, and we have something that the boss cannot find from anybody else. And that something must bring benefit for the company. That means we should make a pos...

Origami structures and advanced nanomechanics allow researchers to make robots. That can operate without microchips. Or even without electricity.  The new origami robots use interesting nanomaterial. Some microchips handle boolean formulas. The nanomaterial follows the boolean logic commands like "AND", "OR", and "NOT". Each of those boolean logic commands determines the direction where those robots must go. The origami robots that are masterpieces of technology can make multiple things. The thing is that there are multiple microchips in the structure and each of those microchips can make different things because they are connected with different parts of that material.  "By embedding flexible and electrically conductive materials into a pre-cut, thin polyester film sheet, the researchers created a system of information-processing units, or transistors, which can be integrated with sensors and actuators". (ScitechDaily.com/Origami Robotics: Scien...

The new nanomaterial looks like graphene, but it's the covalent organic framework or COF. The structure of COF is similar to graphene. But it's easier to make.  Graphene is a 2-dimensional single-atom layer of carbon. Graphite is a series of graphene towers. And that thing makes graphite a good source of graphene. But the problem is how to make enough graphene that it can cover some layers. The problem with 2D materials is that their abilities base the 2D structure.  If there is more than one atomic structure in 2D material. And that means that the material loses its abilities.  So when the regular material will cover using 2D material. That 2D material must keep away from the layer.  Nanotechnical pillars, atom-size sticks, or DNA bites that act as springs can separate those 2D layers from each other. Those things used keep the 2D atom layer out of the shell.  Also if there is more than one 2D material layer. Those nano-pillars keep those structures separate....

Chinese researchers made a big step in the development work of the BCI (Brain-Computer Interface). That step is the monkey brain synchronized with computers. And that thing makes the full-capable BCI systems possible.  The BCI or EEG-controlled interface is not a new idea. Novelist Graig Thomas introduced that system in his SciFi novel Firefox in 1977.  In that book, the Soviet super-secret jet fighter used brain- or EEG-controlled weapon systems. The system used the modified electric shock system that communicated with the cortex. That was in the pilot's helmet. During that time. The BCI was one of the sci-fi-tales. But today, those systems are a reality.  But things like machine learning and AI are making it possible to make those systems in real life. AI and machine learning are needed to separate certain EEG curves and then connect those curves with certain actions. The system must also filter white noise or meaningless thoughts away from the information that the syst...

The new robot hand can touch objects and move them without cameras. The system can operate in complete darkness and the difference between this new robot hand and the traditional systems is that the robot hand has a sense of touch. That sense is connected with machine learning. And the hand learns things that a regular person spends a year in one hour.  This new robot hand can be the pathfinder for next-generation robotics with a sense of touch. Robots with that kind of thing might be more like humans. If a human-looking robot operates on the streets and visits shops and makes that kind of thing, it requires a sense of touch. If somebody touches that robt, it would recognize that thing,  Robots with a sense of touch are interesting in many ways. They can operate in complete darkness without lasers, radars, and sonars. And that makes those robots stealthy. Because the passive sense of touch doesn't send any kind of signals, that system can move in darkness without sending any k...

A new wooden transistor can revolutionize things like OI (Organoid Intelligence) and prosthetics.  Swedish researchers made their transistors by using balsa wood. "In previous trials, transistors made of wood have been able to regulate ion transport only. And when the ions run out, the transistor stops functioning. The transistor developed by the Linköping researchers, however, can function continuously and regulate electricity flow without deteriorating". (ScitechDaily.com/Scientists Develop the World’s First Transistor Made of Wood) "The researchers used balsa wood to create their transistor, as the technology involved requires a grainless wood that is evenly structured throughout. They removed the lignin, leaving only long cellulose fibers with channels where the lignin had been". (ScitechDaily.com/Scientists Develop the World’s First Transistor Made of Wood) "These channels were then filled with a conductive plastic, or polymer, called PEDOT: PSS, resulting...

The problem with tann-killing lasers is that their energy level must be very high. The laser ray destroys the target by increasing free energy inside it.  The problem is that tank is a very large object. And there is room for very high-level free energy. The most effective way is to create so big laser. That just closes the tank inside its ray.  Microwaves or high-power radio wave systems can destroy targets, as well as laser rays. The area where that energy pumping system creates the free energy is important if the system can close the target inside the beam. It can raise the free energy level in the entire system. And that makes it easier to break the metal structure in armor.  That thing denies the possibility that energy can conduct, away from the target's shell. The laser simply warms the tank. And when its energy pumping ends, the energy that travels out from the vehicle destroys it. The level of free energy is not the only thing that means something. Also, the area...

"As the Sun becomes a true red giant, the Earth itself may be swallowed or engulfed, but it will definitely be roasted as never before. However, it remains to be seen whether any of the effects of swallowing Mercury, Venus, or even possibly Earth will be noticeable by a distant alien civilization". (BigThink.com/At last: astronomers catch a star eating its innermost planet) The planet fell into a star that it orbited, or the nova eruption of a dying star destroyed the planet. That thing proved expectations that stars can eat their planets. At least when they start to expand to red giants. In other situations, the nova eruption from the dying star can destroy the entire planetary system. The star that ate its planet was the sun-type star that ran out of its fuel. And then the Nova eruption destroyed the planet near that star.  But there is the possibility that things like gravitation brake will cause a situation in which the planet falls into its sun. The situation could be th...
