The research with insects ( Don't take this too serious)

The research with insects ( Don't take this too serious)

There have been people, who have said that it gets generations to make stable transformants and mutations in the population. And this kind of things would seem to make some research safe, but then we must say, that there is one problem with the evolution tests, what is created with insects, and that thing is that the changing the generation would happen in days if we are talking about insects. The short period life cycle would make insects like banana flies very good tool for many kinds of research. There have been created nice scenarios, which is fitting to some horror movies.

When we are thinking about the laboratory environment, we might think the thing, that the genome of intelligence is growing also in that environment. Maybe the banana fly would start to learn that the persons, who make tests are taking the test items from the forward, and the banana flies, what are staying backward are living longer, and that means that maybe those banana flies could transmit the knowledge of that thing to the next generations.

And maybe the intelligence level on the population would increase, and here we must realize, that insects are nothing like we are. One of the most fascinated ideas, what some philosophers have created is the intelligent swarm of insects, what would have the same level of intelligence, what we have, but what is actually a swarm.

That kind of organism would have the ability to lose a couple of individuals from that swarm, and the thing that would make it intelligent would be that the individual insects would communicate with together by using neurotransmitters. In this case, the neurotransmitters have replaced pheromones and is that kind of species exist or not has not been proven.

The thing is that the SETI-program is reaching the possibility to find this kind of organisms doesn't make them existed. The thing in this kind of intelligent creature is that it might be intelligent only when it needs intelligence. In that period the insects are connecting together when they want to solve some problem, and then they would share the missions to each individual.

The thing is that those alien organisms would seem something, what we have found on Earth, but they can be totally different. This is the thing, what fascinates the scientists and philosophers around the world.  The form of intelligent alien would not be anything, what we can imagine. And in fact, there is one really interesting thought about the intelligent swarms of insects.

I read that idea from one Scifi book, and that thing was that the humanoids or space travelers could create that kind of intelligent group of organisms for making the small scale jobs in the space ship, or searching the damages of the craft. But that kind of things are yet pure imagination and that thing that maybe some space race would have this kind of "helper" or assistant alien is, of course, the interesting point of view the things like intelligence and evolution.

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. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. 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...
