What if we establish Venus's base and search for possible lifeforms from that planet?

 


"A new paper argues that studying Venus, despite its inhospitable conditions, is crucial for understanding the potential for life on other planets and predicting Earth’s future. It outlines the similarities and differences between Earth and Venus, highlights the importance of understanding Venus’s atmospheric and geological conditions, and explains upcoming NASA missions aimed at gaining more insights.

Venus can be a more suitable harbor for extraterrestrial life than Mars. 


There may be some primitive lifeforms on the planet Venus. Those lifeforms can hover in their sulphuric acid clouds. Or they can live in Venus' mountain area like Maxwell Montes. 

It's possible. Those still hypothetical lifeforms can be like bacteria, that make sulfur powdery mildew from sulphuric acid. That bacteria could live on the dark side of Venus, and it's possible. Those bacteria could turn themselves into spores at dayside as anthrax bacteria make on Earth. Those bacteria spores could hover in clouds much longer than. 

They could hover on Earth. Venus's atmosphere is much denser than Earth's. And it's different. Carbon dioxide is a heavier gas than oxygen and nitrogen. The atmosphere is also flat, which means it starts to turn denser at lower altitudes than Earth's atmosphere.

But the highlands are more comfortable. And it's possible that sometime in the future. Humans will build a base on Venus's highlands or hover base in its atmosphere.

Another HAVOC concept.

The High Altitude Venus Operational Concept (HAVOC) program. 


In 1971 the Soviet engineer and Sci-Fi writer Sergei Zhitomirsky introduced the idea of the "Venus islands". Those islands would be airships in Venus's atmosphere. 

Venus's atmosphere is a carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide-based place, where lead will melt. In some visions, there could be liquid lead ponds on Venus's surface. Carbon dioxide is a very heavy gas. And on Venus, we could fly by using nitrogen balloons. The High Altitude Venus Operational Concept (HAVOC) program is the plan to make a hovering base in Venus's atmosphere. 

In some visions, the HAVOC base could be the quadcopter that acts as a platform that hovers in the atmosphere. The system can use a long tube. That makes the capillary pull through the generator. This system can hover in Venus's atmosphere because it's denser and carries that craft better than Earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen and oxygen are lighter gas than carbon dioxide. Also, a copy of Earth's atmosphere makes lightweight structures hover in Venus's atmosphere. 

The program plan is to send the airships to Venus's atmosphere. Those fully automatized systems can predict manned bases at Venus's clouds. Or in its highlands. 

Manned base on Venus's highlands can be like regular houses. But the life support system requires carbon monoxide filters. The structure must have thermal protection structures. Venus's colonists can use similar protective suits that the people who work in steel factories use. 

The carbon filters can remove carbon dioxide from Venus's atmosphere before the life-support systems drive that cleaned gas to the crew cabin. The crew must stay in those mountain areas, where the temperature is lower than on Venus's surface.

One purpose of that futuristic Venus base could be to terraform that planet. In that case, the colony creates the genetically engineered bacteria to remove oxygen from carbon dioxide. That should decrease the temperature on that planet's surface and lowlands. But those visions are far away in the future.

Acoustic wormholes and long-distance ion beams can be the next-generation tools.

Acoustic wormholes and long-distance ion beams can be the next-generation tools. 


Acoustic systems can revolutionize optical networks. 


The acoustic beam means energy or particle beam, where energy travels in or between molecular-size structures. The term acoustic laser means the coherent soundwave that travels in the air. The reason why researchers are interested in acoustic systems is that those systems transmit cold energy. The acoustic systems can play molecule billiards. And researchers can use them to assemble nanomachines. 

The U.S. military and police's LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Devices) are one example of acoustic lasers. In "acoustic lasers". The acoustic system pushes the soundwave into a very thin form. Some acoustic systems use diamonds to make powerful, highly accurate, and thin sound waves. This kind of system makes it possible to cut even metals with a very high accuracy. 

Acoustic waves can also transmit digital data. The acoustic system can send acoustic waves to the piezo crystals. That can transform them into digital form. The LRAD systems also can make it possible to send very accurate binary data through air. The system itself is a modem. That is connected to the acoustic lasers. Accurate acoustic systems can used to create highly accurate sonars. 

If the sonar system uses LRAD technology it can create powerful soundwaves that are invisible from the sides. The highly accurate acoustic systems can create a powerful acoustic wave that can break even metals. This kind of system can turn the sonar system into a weapon, that breaks the submarine shell. 

Acoustic systems can make it possible to send qubits through the air. In those cases, acoustic systems can drill holes in the air. The system can use things like acoustic diamonds to make the acoustic tornado, which makes the vacuum channel through the air. The acoustic systems can also transport energy in the small piezo-crystals. And that thing can help to control the miniature LEDs. And other kinds of systems. 



Acoustic wormholes. And Tesla's death ray. The acoustic wormholes can make it possible to give long-distance antimatter injection to the target. 


The Tesla's death ray could be an acoustic wormhole through the air. Or it might be the electron beam, artificial lighting, that travels through an artificial eruption channel. The coherent micro- or radio waves can create that eruption channel. That helps to aim an electron beam at the target with a very high accuracy. 

But, if we want to make a long-distance shot in the atmosphere, we must create a vacuum channel through the air. Ions do not travel long distances in the air, because they hit air molecules. And those impacts neutralize those ions. That means the ion beam is not dangerous in the air. The acoustic wormholes or vacuum channels through the air make the ion beam unable to release its energy. And if the system shoots protons in the electron rays those protons keep those ion beams in their form. 

The acoustic wormhole or vacuum channel or vacuum tunnel through the air makes it possible to send long-distance antimatter beams through the air. The system must only deny the antimatter touch with the regular material. If that thing is possible. The antimatter ion cannon is possible. 

It's possible to shoot antimatter ions to the target through the air. If there is a vacuum channel that denies the antimatter ion touch the air molecules. The antimatter ion beam that travels in acoustic wormholes can give the possibility to send highly accurate anti-matter impacts to the target. And that system can make the antimatter-ion cannons the next-generation replacers for nuclear weapons. 

The acoustic systems can used to make the ions travel longer distances in the air. If researchers connect the acoustic system to the lasers. It can used to make acoustic wormholes. In those systems, the laser creates a vacuum channel through the air, and then the acoustic system creates the sound tornado around that channel. That acoustic tornado closes the vacuum channel in it. And the acoustic tornado denies outcoming air to fill that channel. 

The acoustic wormhole can make Tesla's death ray true. The ion cannons can shoot ions and anions through those channels. If there are positive ions in the electron beam. That electromagnetic pull keeps the beam in its form. The acoustic system can make it possible. That the ions and electrons can travel in the vacuum channel. In the channel must be two internal acoustic beams that deny the electron touch with protons. And that makes it possible to shoot ion beams in long range. The system must only deny the ion touch with air molecules. The system must separate negative and positive components. 

Maybe Nikola Tesla's original idea was simpler than this. The idea could be that the death ray system creates the eruption channel through air. The maser (Microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) or coherent radio waves can create an ion channel through air. That channel forms the artificial eruption channel through the air. Then the system can release an electron beam through that channel.

Bio- or nature-inspired robots are next-generation tools.



Things like ants can be models for the next-generation drones and drone swarms. The ant-shaped robot can be car-size or it can be ant-size. Larger robots can act as bases for smaller-size robots. In some visions, larger-size robots can build new robot insects. Those robots can interconnect their microprocessors into the neural network. 


There are two ways to make nature-inspired robots. 


1) The robot can be a miniature machine. That uses non-organic technology. 


2) The system can use the real insects or other animals that it takes into control. 


And those entireties can be very independent. In that model, those small-size robots can operate as an entirety where they share their sensorial data and microchip capacity. The new 2D semiconductors are tools. That can make very small and low-voltage microchips possible. Those microchips can control small insect-shaped or cyborg insects. 



The reptilian-shaped robots can look like real lizards. They can use fuel cells that use methane or alcohol as fuel. Or the surgeons can install the microchip in the lizard's brains. For working perfectly. That system requires complete information about the lizard's brain activity. Then the system can decode data from the lizard's brain. Interacting implants can control lizards like robots. 

When microchips take the insect under control. The system simply connects the microchip to the insect's shell. And then the system uses electric stress to control insects. New decoding systems can make the system see what insect sees. The system can decode the signals from an insect's nervous system, and make operators see what it sees from the computer screen. 

The Neuralink-type systems can turn all animals into robots. The implanted microchips can used to control animals. Like birds, reptilians, fishes, whales, and other kinds of things like monkeys. It's possible. The microchips can connect to animal skin on their brain. And that system can control the animal's nervous system.

Developers created a new universal BCI system that allows to play computer games.


"Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have created an adaptive brain-computer interface (BCI) with machine learning, designed to assist individuals with motor disabilities without requiring individual calibration. This breakthrough enables easier adoption and demonstrates the technology’s application through engaging tasks and potential future uses, including brain-controlled wheelchairs and rehabilitation devices, aiming to improve quality of life for those with disabilities." (ScitechDaily, Scientists Develop Universal Brain-Computer Interface That Lets People Play Games With Just Their Thoughts)

Writer Graig Thomas introduced an idea about the BCI (Brain Computer Interface) in his novel "Firefox". In that novel. The pilot can control the jet fighter systems using EEG waves. And then the Neuralink corporation installed the first EEG chip into a patient's brain a couple of months ago. And today that person plays computer games using that chip. Today the BCI system is planned to be put into modern jet fighters like the F-35, and its successors like Tempest II that RAF planned for the future jet fighter. 

The problem with Neuralink chips is that their installation requires surgery. If the user can wear a BCI (Brain Computer Interface) like a hat. That makes this kind of system easier to use. If, and when this kind of BCI hat comes to markets it will open new roads for computer gaming. But the same system can control robots, jet fighters, and many other things like drone swarms. That means the researchers can install those BCI-sensors pilot's helmets. And it can turn the legendary "Firefox" into a reality sooner than nobody expected.

"Hussein Alawieh, a graduate student in José del R. Millán’s lab, wears a cap packed with electrodes that is hooked up to a computer.

The BCI  system which is easy to use is a tool. That can do many other things than just control the jet fighters. It can control drones or other remote robots. The developers can install lightweight systems in helmets. And that thing makes it possible to control computers and physical systems in the field circumstances. This thing makes them fundamental tools in the civil and military sectors. 

This type of wearable BCI system causes a question about the development of AI. The last two steps in the seven steps of the AI are artificial superintelligence and singularity. The BCI systems make it possible to step over one or two steps in AI development. So do we create singularity before artificial superintelligence and artificial general intelligence (AGI)? 

The AGI is the focus of AI development. The last two steps, artificial superintelligence (ASI) and singularity will operate lower-level systems through AGI, or artificial general intelligence. 

The last two steps are possible if developers use living neurons. Artificial superintelligence are microchips that communicate with cloned neurons or neuro-cell cultures. Mini-brains that researchers develop for medical research can be used in those artificial superintelligence systems. The living neurons can communicate with computers. The BCI systems allow developers can connect brains with computers. 

This system allows researchers can see what people remember and what they think. These types of systems are the tools that can store a person's memories and thoughts from their entire life on computer hard disks. And that thing makes even immortality possible. In this model, the system just clones the person and then drives the stored data in that person's brain.

New Moon programs open gates to Mars.


"The Gateway space station will be humanity’s first space station around the Moon as a vital component of the Artemis missions to return humans to the lunar surface for scientific discovery and chart the path for the first human missions to Mars. Astronauts on Gateway will be the first humans to call deep space home during missions where they will use Gateway to conduct science and prepare for lunar surface missions. Credit: NASA, Alberto Bertolin, Bradley Reynolds" (ScitechDaily, A New Era of Science on the Lunar Gateway Space Station)



The Gateway Space Station will be the first space station on the Moon orbiter. These space station missions are vital for "Artemis" and the future Mars missions. This space station will collect data about solar activity. And also it collects data for the Mars flight. 

The slingshot system would be a good tool to send capsules back to Earth from the Moon. That method gives solutions for problems of how to send fuel to the Moon. 

The Moon-orbiting space station can send samples to Earth using a sling. The centrifugal sling that did not work on Earth could work perfectly on the Moon or at the Moon orbiter stations. In the station version, the electric engine will put the long string to spin like a whip. 



And in the right moment, the computer opens the hook. That will send samples to Earth. Centrifugal launchers could be suitable systems also on the Moon. That kind of launcher does not need fuel. And the Moon's low gravity. And lack of atmosphere makes it possible to shoot modules to Earth easily without big risk. 

The company called SpinLaunch is working with those launchers. The spin launch system is suitable for launching small rockets to low orbiters. The same system can used with long-range artillery. The spin accelerators can accelerate things like smart grenades to long-range.

Another thing that Artemis requires is massive and powerful rockets. SLS space launch systems and Space X's Starship shuttle will be tools that carry instruments to the Moon. The Moonbase itself will be an interesting tool for space research. If The Mars craft uses nuclear thermal propulsion, that means the system can be a nuclear-chemical system where a nuclear reactor warms the propellant. 

Things like pulsed plasma and ion systems are one version of the electrostatic engines. The small and powerful reactors require highly enriched, highly radioactive fuel. That famous microwave engine is a system where microwaves heat the propellant like liquid hydrogen. Those systems will be more powerful than any chemical rocket in the world. 

But the problem is the radioactive material that those systems require can cause large-area containment if something goes wrong when the craft flies out from the atmosphere. This is the reason why nuclear elements will load into a reactor at the Moon orbiter. In that case, the nuclear engine will start on the Moon orbiter. The engine starts on the dark side of the Moon. Moon gravity will pull the radioactive debris to the Moon.

Can the atom be the most effective qubit?


"Researchers have created a quantum vortex in superfluid helium to study black hole dynamics, revealing new insights into quantum fields and curved spacetimes through innovative cryogenic experiments. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Quantum Tornado Unlocks Mysteries of Black Holes)

Quantum tornadoes can also act as qubits if their shape is slight enough. Or they can form a quantum point in the middle of it. And that point can act like a photon pair in qubits. In that model, two quantum whirls are horizontally against each other. And data travels through those quantum points. 

In some visions the system can use quantum tornadoes or plasma rings to create slight electromagnetic fields. The system can put those electromagnetic fields into superposition and entanglement. Those whirls or ion rings are similar to those used in fusion tests but at a lower energy level. That thing allows the system to create almost stable qubits. 

In the most exotic and powerful version, the quantum computer can make two ion- or quantum rings for making static qubits. The energy level at transmitting qubit is at an extremely high level. And the receiving part of those qubits is at the lowest possible energy level. Those rings oscillate with the same frequency, which means superposition transports information between those rings. 

The qubit and quantum computer searches its form. The quantum computer is not ready yet. The first-generation quantum computers used superpositioned and entangled photons to make the qubits. The problem is how to control that photon pair. 

So there are many other versions of the qubit and its form. In some visions, the system uses electrons, ions, or neutral atoms to make the quantum entanglement. In some less-exotic versions, quantum computers use radio waves or optical wave movement. In those systems, individual wavelength or frequency is one state in the qubit. 

 Or, if we think sharper computers and networks are ever ready. Or other ways we can say that computer technology is a long way to the omega point. The new models for qubits are interesting. One suggestion for qubits is to use simple atoms. The system can use atoms whose quantum fields are fully symmetrical. 



Then the system can make a superposition between those magnetic-, or quantum fields. The atom- or molecule-based qubits are easier to control than photons, or some other subatomic particles. In some models, the system uses water molecules as antennas that can transport information in the system. In this model, the system locks the water molecule in a certain position. 

Then it will transport data through hydrogen atoms to oxygen, which acts as an antenna. The version uses single atoms that the system can put against each other. The other atom is in the minimum energy level and the other is in normal temperature. Then the system can make the superposition and entanglement between those energy fields. The big difference between those energy fields helps to control data flow. 

The system can be solid. In that model, data travels in quantum crystals. One of the most promising things is time crystals their information can travel between those atom lines. And that allows the system to transport data between time crystals. But in a simpler version, the system can use wire-connected atom lines or quantum diamonds. 

The system can aim data between those diamonds very accurately. If there are different atoms connected to each nanodiamond that allows the system a better way to separate wavelengths or frequencies that those crystals send. 

The system can also use radio waves. In that model, each frequency is one state for the qubit. And that thing is one of the most interesting ways to make quantum computers. Those coherent radio waves travel in the nanotubes that protect against outside energy effects. This is one version of the quantum computer.
