The book of curiosities (Islamic typography from medieval period)

Picture I



Above the text is Islamic typography from the medieval period, and there is one very interesting thing about it. This figure is claimed to portray some harbors or something like that, but in fact, it seems like a bacillus. When we are thinking about the paintings and other kinds of art, there could be a difference between things, what artist claim to portray, and then the thing, what the painting or in this case, typography really portraits.

The thing is the microscope was invented by Robert Hooke in the 17th century is not true. Hooke published the orders on how to prepare the sample, but the microscope itself has been known for a long time ago. And the thing is that if this figure is actually the bacillus, it would be the plague bacillus, one of the most deadly organisms on earth. When we are thinking about the well-known inventions like microscopes there is the possibility, that some of them were actually the things, what are called as the top secret.

And maybe some Islamic leaders would keep this kind of information out of the eyes of the ordinary people.  The epidemics have been a good way to control people because the existence of those microbes was not probably commonly known thing. And the plague or some other epidemics would be explained as the hate of God, what caused that the people were not enough concerning the service of the god, and leave thoughts to the leaders. It was the spirit of the medieval period.

In medieval society, the purpose of the people was to serve the god, who was represented by the local leader. The things were not different in the Islamic and European side. And if there were too much free time in the area, people would start to ask, why somebody would not do a thing? And in those cases, the artificial epidemic was probably the best way to turn the eyes of the people in another turn from the palace of a local leader.

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
