The fish-example 

Einstein's theory of relativity is one of the most interesting and remarkable theories in history. And there is one connection to the example of the flowing river. That thing is that if the fish would swim against the flowing water with very big power, would it face the flowing water with faster speed than in the places, where water is standing still.

So if the speed of the fish is 20 kilometers per hour and the water would flow against it with the speed of 20 kilometers per hour, the impact speed with water is 40 kilometers in an hour. The example is taken from the examine, where the impact speed of the cars is asked when they are hitting against together while both of them have a speed of 40 kilometers per hour. That means that the impact speed is the addition, where the speeds of both particles are sum together.

Ability to travel faster than the light

When we are thinking about the first paragraph, we might ask, what would that thing do with the space traveling and the interstellar spaceflights. In fact, there is a possibility to create the spacecraft, what would cross the cosmic speed limit, what is called as the speed of the light. In this system would the ions pull towards the spacecraft with very powerful magnets.

Those magnets would create the impact area, where the impact speed of the spacecraft would be higher than the speed of light. And maybe that kind of things could make the hyperdrive possible, and in the future, we could use this version of the hyperdrive in the distant future for traveling between the stars.

In this case, the rockets what use antimatter as fuel would accelerate the spacecraft to the speed, what is about the 50-90% of the speed of the light. And then the system can pull the ions to the accelerator channel, what would accelerate them to the speed of light. If the particle accelerator would suck the particles in the accelerator channel by the speed of the light, or something like 80% of the speed of the light, would the impact speed of the spacecraft and the particles about 1,5 times of the speed of the light.

In that point, the spacecraft would fly faster than the speed of light. The reason for that is that slowing the mass cannot slow by unlimited speed and the thing causes that the spacecraft would travel faster than light in the short moment because the speed of the light is slower in water than in the air. And then when the electron is hitting to the water, would that cause the thing, what is called the "border layer crossing".

This phenomenon is visible in the neutrino detectors, where the electron is hitting in the water pool, and that thing causes the blue light shock-wave. This means that the speed of the electron crosses the speed of the light in a very short time period. And when the electron is slowing, it must release its energy, what is seen as the blue light shock wave.

Could this be the hyperdrive?

The idea is that the particle pulling is turned off, and maybe the spacecraft would jump forward with the speed, what is higher than the speed of the light.  The idea is similar when the fish what would travel upwards to the river in 20 kilometers per hour because it must fight against the flowing water, and then the fish would face the stream pool, and suddenly it's speed would increase to very high.

In this hypothetical case, the starship would pull the particles against it, and the impact speed with those particles would be something like 1,5 times the speed of the light, and then the particle accelerator would shut down. By using this technology, the hypothetical spacecraft would jump forward like rabbit of the fish in the example. So that can be one version of the hyperdrive.

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...

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...

Who really was Plato, the great philosopher?

When we are thinking about the great philosopher Plato, we are thinking about the man who established the Academy of Athens. And we might remember that this man was a traveler. He traveled in many places in his life and wrote many texts and books, which still is very respected thoughts about the state and other things. When we are looking at the books or series of books, we are facing the thing, that there were lots of texts. If we want to use criticism we must notice that the model of the ideal state is rising the kings in the very high position, and the thing would flatter the kings. And sometimes I have thought that maybe that famous model of the ideal state is written by somebody else. The thing is that the model, where the philosophers rule the state behind the lines of soldiers could be written for the persons like Justinian, who was really flattered. The thing is that this kind of writings was meant for flatter the rulers, who would not persecute philosophers, even they had d...
