Could a chemical called DMT work with silent synapses?

Are those famous crystal skulls meant to use in shaman rituals along with DMT? 

Psychedelics are a new thing in modern time research of neural functions. A chemical compound called DMT N, N-Dimethyltryptamine is a psychedelic hallucinogen. That the human nervous system creates. So does DMT drive information from the DNA to those silent synapses? 

When a person is in an ultimately stressful situation. The reason why shamans are fasting themselves near death is that kinds of situations are causing DMT  production in the nervous system. Does the DMT have some connection with the NTP? NTP is also a neural chemical. Does the neural system use those chemicals to transmit data between DNA and our awareness? 

"A nucleoside triphosphate is a nucleoside or NTP. Containing a nitrogenous base bound to a 5-carbon sugar. Either ribose or deoxyribose. With three phosphate groups bound to the sugar. They are the molecular precursors of both DNA and RNA, which are chains of nucleotides made through the processes of DNA replication and transcription. Nucleoside triphosphates also serve as a source of energy for cellular reactions and are involved in signaling pathways. (Wikipedia/Nucleoside triphosphate)

Hallucinations that shamans get when they are in ritual connect them with the spiritual world. And there is the possibility that the silent synapses in the human brain have some connection with DMT. Sometimes some people have introduced the idea that the DMT is the chemical that drives memories stored in the DNA to neurons. 

So is that chemical some kind of gate between molecular memory and everyday memory? The thing is that psychedelics are dangerous stuff. And they might have bad effects. So we must realize that things like shaman rituals should leave to those people who are making those things and know what they are doing.

The nuclear thermal rockets will take humans to Mars in 45 days.

The new nuclear thermal rocket concept will make it possible to transport humans to Mars, and back to Earth in 90 days. Nuclear thermal propulsion is not a new idea. In the 1970s' NASA planned for NERVA (Nuclear Energy Rocket Vehicle Application). NERVA rocket engine was the nuclear reactor. That reactor was in the combustion chamber of a quite conventional rocket engine. 

There were some tests for that engine in the Nevada desert in the 1970s'. But then the NERVA system closed. Nuclear thermal propulsion makes it possible to create nuclear-powered Moon and Mars shuttles. Nuclear thermal propulsion makes it possible to create flexible and powerful rocket shuttles. 

There could be two stages for nuclear thermal propulsion. First, the crew and passengers will shoot to the orbiter using a conventional space shuttle. Or they can use the laser-powered craft. Then the crew will transfer to the nuclear rocket. That kind of system can operate anywhere inside the asteroid belt. 

Nuclear thermal engines can revolutionize space missions. Those systems need lightweight powerful nuclear reactors. Those reactors might use plutonium that has a weapon enrichment level. Or some other highly radioactive isotope. 

If nuclear thermal propulsion uses hydrogen as the fuel it will not turn it radioactive. That means the nuclear-powered shuttles can operate from the Earth if that system can deny radioactive waste. If nuclear thermal propulsion can turn safe. It can use to transfer airplane-shaped shuttles even to another planet. And that system can operate from regular airfields. 

The nuclear-powered aircraft can fly for 15 years. And that makes them more. Powerful than we ever imagined. 

Plasma engines can be even more powerful than nuclear thermal propulsion. 

If the aircraft uses plasma mirroring. It can make the low-pressure area in the side where the craft shoots plasma. Those ions are making it possible that the craft can make incredible maneuvers. If there is some kind of low-pressure area on some side of the vehicle. That makes the craft will move to that point. 

The rumors say that the famous "Black Triangle" UFO uses nuclear thermal propulsion along with plasma mirroring. The idea is that the laser rays are making ions around the craft. And then the plasma mirror or magnetic field will push those ions away from the craft. That means the ions can operate for stealth purposes. 

Or they can be much more. The ions can make low-pressure areas in the side where the system shoots them. And that thing makes it possible to create a craft that can make unbelievable maneuvers. 

That makes it possible to create the nuclear-powered interplanetary VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing). Nuclear thermal propulsion can give that kind of system abilities that no other aircraft in the world has.

Lasers and laser-accelerated plasma can make spacecraft travel to the Moon, and even outside our solar system.

"Graphic depiction of Pellet-Beam Propulsion for Breakthrough Space Exploration. (Artur Davoyan/University of California)" (Shooting Tiny, High Speed Bullets at a Spacecraft Could Speed Up Travel to The Stars)

Nasa plans to use the laser beam to transport spacecraft to the orbital trajectory and even to the Moon. Using a laser as a booster can make a cheap way to transport spacecraft from the Earth to the moon station and back.  Maybe, someday in the future, this system transports the spacecraft to other solar systems.

The idea is that the laser beam creates the plasma or heat air under the craft. When the craft rises to the orbiter. A laser that orbits Earth will start to push the spacecraft to the Moon. Then, the spacecraft can land by using regular rocket engines. 

Another laser system that shoots the spacecraft back to Earth can locate on Moon. 

The laser beam can vaporize hydrogen or water that is in the rocket's fuel tank and make it travel to Earth. In some simplified models the parabolic mirrors that are vaporizing propellant can use to send spacecraft back to Earth from the Moon. 

But the laser-accelerated ion bullets can use to send spacecraft even out from the solar system. The idea is that the high-power laser ray can push ions and electrons in one direction. The idea is that accelerator sends a cloud of electrons and protons to the spacecraft. The electrons and protons have different polarities. And that thing keeps the high-speed plasma bullet in form. 

The plasma bullets can also use to turn the incoming asteroid out from the Earth. NASA plans to use the 10 MW spaceborne lasers in that system.  There is the possibility that this kind of laser-accelerated ion system can use antimatter plasma. The idea is that the antiprotons- and positrons are created by using a thin gold layer or magnetic field that turns their spin to the opposite. Then those antimatter particles can shoot against incoming asteroids. 

And the same systems that are pushing spacecraft to the moon and other places in the solar system can use to turn asteroids. The same system can also use to destroy satellites and ballistic missiles. But in that case, the antimatter is a little bit too powerful a tool.

Rentokil created "face recognition" for rats.

The same system used for detecting individual rats can use detecting many other things. That system can track the merchandise in the warehouses. It can see if somebody opened some boxes or boxes are changed. 

The system can detect the details of individual firearms. Every metal item's surface is full of scratches. Those scratches form the individual image. And the AI can use that image to detect individual firearms from all images it can see. That means the AI can track illegally sold firearms from the crisis. 

A New AI-based program can separate individual rats. Its mission is to find paths that city rats are using without the need to implant those rats. The AI-based recognition system can be connected to any surveillance camera. And the same system can operate with drones. That makes it very easy to detect the paths that city rats use. 

But the same system can use for predator research. That kind of system can detect individual predators. And if some predator like a bear or wolf attacks pets. That system can use to find that individual. And that allows targeting the force to that member of the pack. In this model, the camera takes an image of the predator that comes to the yard. Then other cameras can use to track that individual. 

That allows for minimizing damage to the predators. The problem is how to find individual members of the group. That makes damage or is dangerous. If hunters shoot all other predators. But that single one stays free. That means the damages continue. The image of that individual predator can load onto computer-controlled rifles that launch ammunition only when that individual harmful predator is in sight. 

The same system that use to recognize individual rats can use to recognize cars or vehicles. Even if the car is painted the system can inform how high percent is that the car is pictured in some other place. The system can detect if vehicles are used in prohibited areas. Or they can use it to compare images of firearms or other items. That allows law enforcement to track where criminals get their stuff.

New rotation detonation rocket engines can revolutionize spaceflight and aviation.

The artist's impression of USAF's top secret hypersonic "Mayhem" bomber concept. (Image: Popular mechanics)

Rotation Detonation Rocket Engine. Or simply RDRE engine is the next generation rocket system. The big difference between regular rocket engines is that RDRE engine uses screw-shaped burning structure. The simplest way to make an RDRE engine is to make a screw-looking structure in the walls of the combustion chamber. 

The RDRE engine uses less fuel than a regular rocket engine. And that means it's an excellent tool for moon travel. But the RDRE engine can make much more than just transit people between the Moon and earth by using moon shuttles. The RDRE engine can connect with large-size hypersonic aircraft. 

When that hypersonic aircraft starts to make a ballistic jump above the atmosphere. It can turn to use the RDRE engine when it reaches space. That makes it possible to create a real space shuttle that can operate from regular airfields. And that system can make futuristic travel to the moon from regular airports possible. 

But that kind of engine combination can make things like "Mayhem" hypersonic bombers more advanced and more deadly than ever before. The ability to connect rocket engines to hypersonic aircraft is always an interesting thing. That kind of system can make it possible to launch satellites. And the same system can also use in space fighters. 

Researchers are interested in scramjet engines because they use atmospheric oxygen. That gives more space for fuel.  And if the scramjet has a flap at the front of it. And internal oxygen tanks can turn into a rocket. This engine system allows the craft to operate at the orbital trajectory or travel to the moon. 

The RDRE engine could connect with scramjet- or ramjet engines. The idea is that at the front of the engine is the flap that is closed when the aircraft cannot use air from the atmosphere. 

Then the system can turn to use internal oxygen that makes the same aircraft or shuttle able to operate in the atmosphere and space. The system can be more powerful and multi-use than ever before. The screw-looking structure in the ramjet- or scramjet engine will also allow them to fill the chamber more effectively. 

The flap scramjet makes it possible to create hypersonic aircraft that don't need any compressors or regular jet engines for lift-off. At the beginning of the flight, the system uses flap scramjets in rocket mode. When the aircraft's speed is high enough the system turns to use the oxygen from the atmosphere. And if will turn to fly to an orbital trajectory. It turns back to use its engines in rocket mode.

Can we predict evolution?

Image above: Glowing corals entice nutrients like small water insects. 

Why are species advancing? The reason for that is that the species must get nutrients. And they must get descendants. The challenge is that if the species is good prey for hunters it dies before it can make descendants. If the hunter is too dominating, it eats its food to end. And that thing can cause extinction. Same way, if some animal is a too easy target. That causes extinction. 

For success, the species must ensure its nutrient source. Without nutrients, the species is gone. So, that's why corals are glowing. Glowing corals are a good example of how a thing that seems meaningless has a big role in evolution. 

When we think about the reason why corals glow, we can answer that the glow of corals is meant to entice food. Because bioluminescence increases the nutrient level of corals higher than corals that are not glowing, that makes glowing corals stronger. And they will take over space from other corals. Sooner or later that thing causes the accumulation of genetic material that makes corals glow. That means corals are starting to glow brighter. 

So we can think that maybe in the future glowing corals are turning more common than other corals. The reason for that is that those corals get more nutrients than their competitors. If shining coral is next to coral that has no shine the nutrient that is mostly small sea creatures will go to shining corals. And that decreases the nutrient level of that dark coral. And maybe someday shining coral gets all food. 

This is one version of how we can predict evolution. But then we must realize that there are many types of evolution. This is one version of how we can predict evolution. 

But then we must realize the thing, that evolution is not always biological. The next list includes a couple of examples of that thing. 

1) Natural evolution. That is the regular advancement of the species. 

2) Cultural evolution. That thing can increase the success of some species. 

3) Technical evolution. When some system is turned old-fashion there is a need for a new and better system. One of the examples of technological evolution is the history of electricity. 

4) Economic evolution. When some model in economics turns useless or too expensive. The new model replaces it. The modern economic model bases the growth that continues forever. But we know that this model is impossible. But economic evolution is an extremely large sector. So maybe I will return that thing later. 

But also the development of other civil and military equipment is a good example of technical evolution. When a new product is entering marketing that product must answer to need. If the new product is superior, that means old products and models must step away from the new product. 

When we are thinking about the problems of electric cars the first challenge was to turn the infrastructure so that electric cars can recharge their batteries The new equipment must have support. If there are no charge points for electric cars, there are no electric cars. 

Light bulbs and electric stoves replaced gas lamps and stoves because electric lights and stoves are safer than gas versions. If somebody leaves the gas tap open, that thing turns the gas light and gas stove into thermobaric bombs. Electric light and stoves can cause a fire but they are not as dangerous as gas lamps and stoves. 

The next big step in technology, environment, and culture is AI. AI can control the use of electricity and use of natural resources more effectively than ever before. And AI can turn life more comfortable than ever before. 

Modern lights are using light diodes that decrease their use of electricity. And in future the artificial intelligence can control stoves. That system can see if is food ripe enough. And the system can control if the person is at home. That means stoves are part of the network. If the chef sees that something is missing, that person can visit the shop. 

When the person will step out the door. The system says that the person is cooking and asks where that chef is going. When the chef says that he or she is going to shop the AI will calculate the time how long that thing takes. Then that system adjusts the temperature to the right level. The artificial intelligence can also ask when the person wants to eat, and then adjust the cooking temperature precisely right.

Also, the AI can ask what food the chef wants to make. And then it uses surveillance cameras for seeing if there is the right raw material in the cupboards. And then the system says that if something is missing. The AI can same way asking if a person wants to order those things from the shop. Or would that person want to go shopping? 

When we are thinking about energy production we must realize one thing. We have developed energy transportation tools. 

But there are no new energy sources since nuclear energy. The large-scale use of solar power is a new thing. Same way geothermic energy is a new thing. The fact is that nuclear power can be safer if the nuclear reactors are put in deep underground caves. If the reactor is hundreds of meters below the surface that protects it against terror strikes. That means that the reactor can place in the same depth as nuclear waste final disposal.

MOXIE successfully made water on Mars

Mars is far away from Earth. And if the researchers can make something necessary on that planet, that thing makes all missions to that planet easier. The oxygen is needed for breathing in manned missions. But also oxygen is needed in unmanned missions. 

It can use in fuel cells that making possible to operate at nightside without nuclear systems. The water can break into hydrogen and oxygen which are excellent fuel for rockets and fuel cells. Those systems can also decrease the need to use nuclear systems. 

The solar panels can use to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. And that kind of system is decreasing the need to use nuclear fuel. So nuclear reactors can work longer before operators must change the nuclear fuel elements. This makes those missions cheaper.

Image 2) MGM-52 Lance

In visions, the samples from Mars are taken to Earth by using a small rocket that looks like an MGM-52 Lance missile. Or at least that rocket is based on the technology developed for the Lance missile. 

Those hydrocarbons can use as fuel in rockets that are shot to the Mars orbiter. When we are thinking about the most challenging part of the Mars colony is the support of that colony. Of course, nuclear engines can use in interplanetary flights. But the system must rise the merchandise to the Mars orbiter where nuclear rockets are waiting for that cargo.

The cargo from Mars will of course involve minerals but also crews must change after a certain time. The manned colony can use the biowaste to create methane for rockets and shuttles that are rising to the Mars orbiter.

Mars-planet must be mapped very accurately before we can build the base on Mars. There is always the possibility that there is carbon dioxide ice under the Martian surface. Even small energy impacts can vaporize that carbon dioxide and cause dangerous situations.
