Why Russian agents attacked Skribal?

Why Russian agents attacked Skribal?

Trump has ordered new sanctions against Russia because of the Novochoke-case, where 5 persons were injured, and two of them were dead. Attackers have been claimed to being high-ranking GRU officials or at least another one has ranked as colonel, if we would believe about Wikipedia in this case.

The attack against Sergei Skribal is a very complicated thing. The attackers used poison, which connects the case straight to the Russian government. And the men who made that strike were recognized to GRU agents. Those things, unfortunately, show that the person, who is behind that attentate is working in the Russian government. This Skripal attentate has similarities with the Polonium-murder, where the ex-KGB agent has been murdered by using Polonium-210, which is very highly radioactive material.

And there are two possibilities. One of them is that the Russian government is behind those cases or the Russian laboratories would have security leak. If those materials like Novichoke and Polonium would get to wrong hands, the results will be devastating.

This is a very interesting thing, which has damaged the relationship between Russia and the Western World. And the thing is that even if the Russian government confess that it has nothing to do with that crime, the actors, in this case, were identified and easy to connect with the crime.

This is the thing, what wonders me. Why those men used poison named "Novichoke"? And why they didn't even try to hide their tracks? Did Russians or the persons, who were behind that action think, that the nobody even dares to say a thing about this case?

When we are thinking about the weapons that were used, we must ask, why those killers didn't choose assault rifles or some normal poison like Ricin? Those things could not so easily be connected to the Russian authorities? This kind of actions is really bad for the reputation of any government in the world. So who gave orders about this strike? Those people, who made this crime didn't operate by their motion.

If those murders would be done by using the assault rifle, that thing could be explained about the personal revenge against Skripal. In that case, the killer could claim that Skribal has made something to self while that man worked in KGB, and then the thing would not so easy to connect to the Russian government.
Sometimes when I think about the relationship, what KGB had to power, there could be persons even in the highest positions in Russian security and governmental authorities would be found men and women, whose career that service destroyed during Soviet era. Those people might have the opportunity to hide their past when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.

So could there some person, who has something hidden in the past, what has something to do with Skripal? This kind of things are very important things and this kind of cases must be solved because if some government kills people, who are against its policy, must the other nations give a signal that this kind of things is not tolerated. And if the hardcore killing chemicals and radioactive material can be stolen from the laboratories, that thing can cause risk for many people.

Can we create robots or computers that are more intelligent than humans? And would we need those systems for travel to distant words like icy moons of Neptune?

Can we create robots or computers that are more intelligent than humans? And would we need those systems for travel to distant words like icy moons of Neptune? 

This question is very interesting because we can connect the human-shaped or even bug-sized robot to the supercomputers by using mobile data connection and outsourcing the calculation capacities will give the ability to give even the smallest robots very sophisticated abilities. If we think the ability to connect the robots straight to human brains by using EEG-bandanas, we can think the case.

That the system would consist of the ability to connect human brains to the same interface, what allows remote-system controls the field-operating robots, that would give the robot more brain capacity than humans. And this thing has given ideas to the robots like "Data" in "Star Trek" movies.

Those robots would look like very emotional, but they would be the part of the craft"s central computer system. That device would communicate with the crew, but there might be some other missions of that machine. There has been introduced one of the most extraordinary things about the purpose of that kind of hypothetical robots. And that is the robot would act as the pineal gland for the central computer. The idea is that the robot itself is highly sophisticated microprocessor what communicates with the memory blocks of the craft.

And this kind of things would be interesting when we are thinking about a hybrid computer system, where the central computer would operate with a robot. This kind of systems might look like basically trucks. In the roller-coaster would be the central computer, what communicates with the human-shape robot, what will operate as a driver. A similar system might also installed in the normal-looking houses. This kind of ideas can be used as the base for ideas to send human-shaped robots to other planets.

Those particles or targets for intelligent space probes could be extremely cold moons of the distant planets. 

The idea is similar in many cases. The human-shaped robot can operate separately from the platform, where are the central computers. And also the system might get assistance for computing from the satellites and super-computers, what are on the Earth. The system might use many sensors for modeling the environment, and one of those systems is laser-scanner, which would model the area very effectively.

If the system operates on some icy moon, the quadcopters would use the frozen gas for the propellant of the rocket engines. The system might break water molecules or it can boil hydrocarbon or nitrogen ice by using electric arc. And this would make possible to fly above those distant and icy worlds like moons of Saturn or Neptune. 

Also, that robot would operate with quadcopters, what will scan areas, what is invisible for the robot itself. The operators, who are working with supercomputers, and the super simulations would use this model for creating the routes for those robots. When we are thinking about the form of this kind of robot or robot group, it might look like some kind of jeep and the human-shaped robots could walk around it.

The computers would be networked the human-shaped robots and the central computer, what locates in the jeep-shaped vehicle. That combination can send the "humanoid robots" to search for things like cliffs. And if those systems are operating on the planets, where are not life forms but there is an atmosphere, all of the parts of those systems might use nuclear power.

But if there is not the atmosphere, but there is water, the quadcopters could create oxygen and hydrogen for rocket motors by using electrolysis. In those cases, the system would take the bite of ice and melt it in the electrolysis chamber. Also, there have been ideas that if the ice is forming by some gasses like frozen nitrogen or hydrocarbon the system might use electric arcs for steaming that material, and that would make the probes fly above frozen worlds of the distant moons.

How to make artificial intelligence, and why this kind of things are so hard to create in practice.



(Wikipedia)


How to make artificial intelligence, and why this kind of things are so hard to create in practice. 

Even the best artificial intelligence solution is only the large database, where are lots of actions recorded. And when the artificial intelligence needs to do something new, the new action must be programmed by a human operator. The making of the database would take an extremely long time if we want to create a sophisticated database, where are lots of answers in multiple problems. And making those solutions is very hard to create because every single action needs to program separately. When we are thinking about a chess computer, that program would just calculate an extremely large number of movements on the chessboard.

The thing is that on the chessboard is a limited number of possible movements and the computer must just calculate them all. That makes it effective. And then the programmer must find out, what is the most effective first movement and program that movement to the program. Then it can calculate every single movement and counter movement, what the opponent can make. And of course, the terms like "mate" and the strategic object of the game must be programmed.

This is the problem to create artificial intelligence. The thing that every each action must record to the database separately is taking time. The thing with this kind of artificial intelligence is that the creation of this kind of systems is similar work with making statistics. 

Statistics is an effective tool for finding out things like the political opinions of some group. The tools for statistical analysis are simple. Only thing, what is needed is Excel or some other similar program. But collecting the data to those sheets is the thing, what takes most of the work. The same thing is with the robot, which uses artificial intelligence. 

Every single movement must record to that robot separately, and of course, there must be found some connection with the command and some action. Let's take one simple example of that thing. If the programmer wants to teach commands like "take me a newspaper". The thing seems a very easy process. But when the programmer wants to make that thing, every part of the command must teach separately. 

When the actions for the command is described the creator must describe, what is the newspaper, where it can be found, and what to do if the newspaper is not found from that particular place? The thing is that if this part of the program, what is called " the error correction" is not made, the program can be locked or stoned because the event handler cannot find matches between the input, what is taken from sensors and the action, what is stored in a database. 

The teaching of the computer of the robot must happen by using the same method what is used with children, and the operator would use the command to console, and then walk with the robot to the place, and then make what should be done. And remember that "get" is the first part of the command. 

Then the next command would be the object, what must be taken. And then the action, what must be done after that. But if the robot would not find the newspaper, it can report that thing to the controller, and if the controller would say, look it from the table. 

This kind of command means that robot would search the table, what is in kitchen and if it would not still find it, that machine would go to the living room and then it would systematically search those things from every room and every table. The thing is that the order of those rooms and the layout of the house has been programmed in the memory of the robot. 

If we think that somewhere in Universe the robots, what are equipped with artificial intelligence would start to create a new civilization, we would think that maybe they would act like ants or wasps. They would create spacecraft, which also operates as the autonomous factor, what can create other robots. 

This particular unit will have the same role with the ant queen, and it would create a new base on the planet, what it can use as the same way as ants use their nest in nature. In some vision, the robot civilization would start to create city-looking structures when they are spreading across the universe. The purpose of the city would be to act as a trap for organic civilizations. The thing what computers need is the mind of the living organisms. The problem with the computer is that they are not able to create any abstractions. So they don't have imagination at all.

The natural-looking recon drones

The natural-looking recon drones

Have you noticed that some hoverflies are like searching for the ID-papers? Of course, this is only a coincidence, that when some person keeps the wallet open, there would come the hoverfly to look for the place, where it can put its eggs. But the new kind of nano-drones or robot bugs might make this kind of things, and the thing is that those drones might look like real bugs.

YouTube and the Internet are full of stories about nanorobots, what are looking like mosquitos, but if I would create recon drone, what can operate undercover, I would choose some other bug than a mosquito. That form should be something, what is not tempt people to damage drone by slapping it with newspaper, and that's why hoverflies or dragonflies would be more suitable for that purpose. The thing is that the small-size drones have limited computing capacity, but they can operate as swarms.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z78mgfKprdg

That means the drone can be remotely connected with the central computer, and the transmitter would not need to be so powerful, as people normally think. This kind of nanotechnical drones can make row to the central computer, that they can communicate from long distances. And they can use lasers or some other optical communication systems for command messages, which makes them very difficult to detect. 

In this solution, the communication would happen from the drone to another, and the small-size drones can get their electricity from high-power radio transmitters, like high power OTH-radars. That allows them to operate unseen and they can collect data from every each person, what is targeted to them.

And those drones are extremely difficult to find. They can communicate with their command center by using the same data transmitters, which are used in the mobile telephones. Those operators can sit in the command center at another side of Earth, or they can work in the operational field. The communication can happen with blue tooth or every other data communication solution.

This would allow the operator to use their mobile telephones antenna for data communication between themselves and drone swarm. Those small drones can make many things, like take the samples of tissue of some people. They can also observe rooms, and collect the data from the WLAN systems. But those drones can also be used to follow the behavior of natural animals, and they can search people from some area. 

Drone-swarms can cover a very large area, and even if they have limited equipment, the large mass of them replaces the quality. That means that every each drone might have different sensors, and they can produce in the operational area. In this that the cores of the drones can put in the small robot unit, which puts the necessary sensor in them.

This supply unit can install in the helicopter, and there could be many types of sensors, which can put in those drones. That equipment could be radio-active or chemical detectors or even the ricin injectors for assassination missions. And this kind of things makes those drones extremely dangerous. They are cheap to produce in the automatized factories, and they are unseen.

Could the newest school of thoughts of philosophy named "Astrophilosophy"?

Could the newest school of thoughts of philosophy named "Astrophilosophy"?

When somebody is talking about futurology, what is science that research people relationship with technological advantages and their influence on society, we must realize, that there are many similarities with the writing of novels. Nobody has seen future, or at least nobody ever has given any prove about, what is happening in the future, or what kind of advantages there will be in far after the hundreds or thousands of years. And that's why people would sometimes call the futurology as "Astrophilosophy". That thing would consist of the thought about hypothetical space colonies and travel to other solar systems.

Astrophilosophy would be similar than the philosophy of state or "Platonism". It would handle the human and our society's relationship with astronomy and the universe. What would be right, and what would be wrong, when we would start to colonize the universe. Things like protecting nature on some planet, which is dangerous for us, but what might be the level of bacteria is an interesting way to think about the conquering space.

Or if we would someday force to leave our home planet Earth, have we right to enter the young solar system, and sterilize some of it's planets to our new home? And if we would force to leave Earth, and it would happen because of pollution, would we let the same thing continue in the new home planet? This kind of things might be interesting to think before we would start to create new colonies in the Universe.

When we are creating new colonies, we must realize, that we should also give them something. If they are the only side, what gives things, that would mean that this colony would cut the relationship to Earth. When we would create colonies, the persons who would send to that mission would be most intelligent and perfectly trained. 

But if the journey would take hundreds or thousands of years, the colonialists would be born children, who have not even seen or hear Earth. And that would make social pressures to the relationship between Earth and it's hypothetical civilizations, but the problem is that those civilizations would turn aliens to Earth on together. And the thing is that maybe Earth would not in those visions be the number one, and it would turn to one of the colonies, or in the worst visions worse than average colonies.

The thing is that those highly intelligent persons could start to manipulate their abilities, and that means that they might turn to very highly intelligent, and also they can adapt themselves to new environments. And those environments could be different kind of places than Earth. Those colonies might start to send their colonialists to other planets, and they would not even tell that thing to Earth.

And why they should do that thing? Those hypothetical colonies might communicate with Earth from hundreds of light-years. That thing might take too long for communication. Then the colony would start to live it's own life away from the Earth.

When I wrote this text one thing brought to my head. And that thing is why when youngsters would write things like this, they are using their imaginations. But when elder people are thinking and writing this kind of things, they are making theories.

This is a thing, what makes me sometimes think, how many good writers could have lost because people attitude is that they are childish. When we are thinking about novels and writings, what are created by some writer, we can say, that many of them are still a theory. But why only elder people are making theories? This is a very interesting question. And sometimes people would think that the people who will write about their thoughts are some kind of autistic. That thing is a really interesting way to think.

About the philosophical schools of thoughts

About the philosophical schools of thoughts

Philosophical schools of thoughts are many times mentioned in the biographies of philosophers. There are found many interesting schools of thoughts, like Neoplatonists, Leipzigeans, Modern German and many more ways to think about things. There is seen many very good ideas, how to put those persons in the boxes, where people can choose, what school of thoughts of philosophy would the philosopher advocate.

And this kind of things are good looking, but if the philosopher self should put self to some of those boxes, that thing would be really difficult. If there would be the allowance to become a philosopher, what depends on the knowledge, what shool advocator the philosopher would be, there would be no philosopher on Earth, who would not have peptic ulcer or who even wrote a single word.

When we are thinking about things like putting people to boxes, that thing would be a nice way to destroy the interest of philosophy in the beginning. Those things like classes of philosophers make studies very hard, and very complicated. And one thing, what people might not understand is that the thing in philosophy is to teach a person to think own thoughts.

Not copy other people thoughts. Even a child can make copies of texts, and in that case, the person must not even understand a thing. I don't speak languages like Japan, but I could copy texts if I can copy marks from one place to another, and I must not understand a thing about that. 

Sometimes some people asked me when I started to write, whose thoughts I will write. In those cases, I don't care a thing, what other people thought. But when some person, who knows everything better than I come to ask things like that, they should tell, what that kind of things are meaning to them? Who cares, who have written those words?

When we are thinking about those words, what is the matter, is the writer of the words some Plato from Ancient Greece, or some modern philosopher? When we are thinking the modern philosophy, we can ask, how modern that thing could be Advocators of the modern philosophy shool is mentioned persons like John Locke, who lived in the last 17th century. That thing means that there are only a few changes in the way of thinking in the knowledge theory. Locke lived about 300 years ago, and that man is still very qualified philosopher.

Thoughts about the future and things, what are delicate for some people.

Thoughts about the future and things, what are delicate for some people. 

The thing about technical advancements of civilization is a very interesting object for thinking. When we are thinking about the technical solutions and biotechnology, we are facing one very interesting confrontation or paradox in those cases. The future of the human race would seem very nice, without our actions, what are risking the existence of the entire nature and our species.

Sometimes I have seen cases or arguments, where genetic and biological manipulation are prohibited because God has created us. Or that seems a very good argument for the new laws. This thing is interesting because some of those people are denying the existence of the god. There is some kind of contradiction, if the same person pleads for something, what does not exist.

Some people want to prohibit genetic engineering of human beings because that thing fights against the natural selection of some religious point of view. But there is one thing, what we must realize, and that is those people would probably not have things like cancer or AIDS, and that would make them real militant in the cases, where scientists are creating changes in our genomes.

When we are thinking about natural objects like small asteroids, which can cause very big destructions on the Earth, if they hit to the ground, there are people, who are denying the use of rockets or missiles against those targets. Those people have very good arguments for that solution, where the people just sit on the chair and let things happen because the asteroid is naturally created threat. That means  10 to 40 meters size stone can cause very big destruction if it hits on Earth.

That kind of stones can easily be destroyed or cut in smaller bites by using missiles. The thing is that those asteroids are one of the biggest threat for the human being and the possibility that those bites attack to Edinburgh is same class, what the hit to the same size area everywhere on the Earth is. The thing is that asteroids are natural objects, which are dead. 

This kind of things interesting, because at the same time people are risking their entire living environment. When we are thinking about the growing city-areas, we must face one very interesting thing, and that is that fast-growing cities are bringing natural animals near the human the way, what we have not seen ever before. This kind of things is called environmental angst.

But if we are thinking about the environment, we must realize, that we must not protect every stone, which can be found in the Universe.  When we are talking about the survivability of the human race, we should not set some bacteria ahead us, this is the thing, what we must realize.

Someday in the future, we would face the thing, that the genetic alteration of DNA is used, and that would cause very interesting visions of the humanity of tomorrow. The thing is that evolution is continuing in the human race as it has been happening before, and at last, a human would turn to another species if some kind of nuclear warfare or meteorite would destroy our entire planet.
