National identity is more than just genomes

1. National identity is more than just genomes

Sometimes have been claimed that the genomes make people, and the reason, why some nations are so strong is because of Genomes. That kind of things are used for making people proud of their nation, and the strong genomes are connected to the warrior stories and people like Genghis Khan or Vikings. And those people are raised in the mythical position in the history of some nations, what want to be proud of their mythic roots in somewhere past. In the national awakening, ancient warriors have an important position.

2. National awakening is sometimes bad for the research

National awakening has caused the thing, that the genetic research of the nation and also anthropology have seen some kind of the negative point of view, because every person, who are interested in the national history have stamped as the fanatic nationalist. And every theory, what those people would introduce are of course far wing nationalist way to see things, and sometimes that thing is true. During the national awakening, people are sometimes even persecuted the scientists, who had different opinions than the leaders of the nation.

In the late 20th century and in the early years of the independence of the nations like Finland, the nationalists have found the things, why some people are better than others, and at that time introduced the theory, that the Finnish people have the best genomes in the world, because the long journey via the Tibetan mountains from Hungary to modern Finland have been eliminated the bad genomes from the people.

3. Did the Family of Jesus Christ go with nomads, when they have escaped the persecution?

When we are thinking about the text above, we would think that this is something very ridiculous. Of course, that kind of theories are supporting only the nationalism and they must be stunned. But then we can think that at the end of the period of the Roman empire the Christianity was the religion of the empire. But the thing was that the ideology of the Christians was put to serve the benefit of the Roman emperor, who got the justification from God himself.

And the Pope was the only person, who had the right to say something for the Emperor. For the Emperors and their closest men, Jesus was the best while he was dead. That means that the family of Jesus must afraid, and during the Migration Period, those people might leave their homes for escaping the hand of the emperor, and the rulers of the Rome, who rewrote the Holy texts in the form, what supports their own benefit.

4. "God is in our side"

Have you hear the motto "God is our side". This thing has been fascinated by the leaders of the nation. If god is in the side of some tribes, that would justify the things, what they have done. That kind of things was interested the national leaders, who wanted to hear stories about the "great northern boys". When we are thinking other nations, who also are proud of their past, we must see Norwegians, who were Viking, and that thing should make them tough, but do we know some Norwegian?

Or are the modern Finnish people tougher than some other people? I really like to believe that, because I'm Finnish, but in fact, I must say that modern Finns and Norwegians are not tougher than any other nationalities. And here we must say that the culture is the thing, what makes nationalities. If we are thinking about modern Finnish or Norwegian, we don't think that person is the descendant of some ancient warriors, who were traveling in the forests of the Sibir, or descendant of Vikings, who were the best warriors in the world.

5. Does aggressive behavior cause the enriching of a certain type of genomes?

The reason why some nations have behaves like that they would drink very much alcohol and become aggressive. The ability to aggressive behavior in the situations when the level self-control has been decreased is explained by the reason, that during the journey in the Arctic tundra only the strongest and fighter types were able to survive.

That means that the genome type, what causes aggressive behavior have been enriched in those nations. Also, behaviors are making national identities, and if the person sits on the chair and eats sausage, even the best genomes in the world would not rescue that inmate from the heart attack and overweight.

We are seeing normal people, who are going to Supermarkets and restaurants to getting their food, and we don't believe that we would go to the forest for hunting the food for ourselves, even if we are descendants of some ancient nomads, who left from Front Asia or area of modern Hungary to travel to the northern lands, when the Roman empire has been fallen.

6. Where would you go, if you afraid the persecution during Migration Period?

In the Migration Period, many bands have been left from their areas and that was the thing, what also the Finnish-Ugric people made. Here I mean the people, who have spoken those very extraordinary languages, there are no articles in the writing or spoken language.

In history were introduced one very interesting theory about the connection with the ancient Scandinavians and the holy bloodline. The thing is that in the period of the national awakening somebody introduced the theory, that the members of the family of Jesus Christ have been gone with those nomad tribes because of they afraid the persecution.

That kind of things is a very interesting part of the philosophy, and sometimes I have asked from myself, that where would I go if I would afraid something in the Roman empire? Maybe I would go to the far away from Rome, to the northern land, where the hand of the emperor would not touch. That kind of things is interesting to think when we are sitting in the evening, and when we don't have anything to do.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme.

The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
