Thoughts about the future, world, and technology

  "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. " (ScitechDaily, Scientists Turn to Venus in the Search for Alien Life) The research underscores the necessity of using Venus as a model to make accurate assumptions about life on distant planets and to contemplate the long-term fate of Earth.

Those lifeforms can hover in their sulphuric acid clouds. Or they can live in Venus...

"Artist’s impression of optoacoustic computing. Credit: Long Huy Da" (ScitechDaily, AI Efficiency Breakthrough: How Sound Waves Are Revolutionizing Optical Neural Networks) 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...

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 th...

"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 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 M...

"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...
