Ants are really interesting characters if we are thinking of evolution

Ants are really interesting characters if we are thinking of evolution

Ants and termites, what also are ants are interesting characters. Those social, wingless bugs are defending their base with a very big attitude, and some of them even die, when they are defending their queen and home. One of the most interesting characters in that community, where everybody would put their stakes to the work of the day is military ants.

Military- or soldier ants are the very aggressive version of ants, and their mission is to defend others. But how those ants would control those soldiers? Their jaws are terrifying and attitude is deadly, but why they are not attacking the workers? That is because the worker would feed that terrifying member of the community.

If the soldier ant would be aggressive, there would be the situation, that another worker comes to the place, and then those ants would relax that horrifying defender of the community. They are telling that everything is fine, and nobody would not threaten the position of that specific ant. And then those worker ants would give a small bite of sugar to the warrior.

That keeps soldier ant satisfied, and there is one little thing about that soldier ant, what protects the entire community. They cannot eat themselves, and those ants are not using their jaws to anything else than just fighting. Military ants cannot even eat, because in their stomach is not bacteria, what is necessary for eating, or transformation of the food to nutrient.

Ants are given an idea to nanomachines, what his group of robots, what are operating like one giant robot. This kind of robot can lose one part of it, and it can still operate. That poly- or swarm robot would also be more flexible than any other device in human history.

But the ants have given ideas of the society, where everybody has their place, and one of those workers, who would work in that futuristic society is the data worker, who would sit in the space station and control the drones and other devices on the Earth. In this hypothetical scenario, those data workers cannot escape or rebel, because they are addicted to the nutrient, what will bring from Earth.

When we are thinking about evolution, the ants have learned the communal working. In their society, every single ant has own duty. And if the duty is defending the society, those bugs would not do anything else.

In the next part, the world "future" can be replaced by the world "other civilization". What we will do and what we are looking in the distant future is a mystery, and without time machine we cannot find that out, how our decadents would live thousands of years after us. The evolution of ants has given the idea that maybe the future would bring to the world the real-life information workers, who are operating in the giant orbiting space station.

Those space stations would need the food from Earth, and that thing would keep them under the control. And those workers would operate the drones and robots on Earth. The thing is that if those controllers connection with robots must be cut, the thing, what the people on Earth must do is just jam the communication lines. If those operators would spend all of their life in the space station, their bones and muscles would be so weak, that those inmates would be dead, if they land to the Earth.

And in one scenario those characters would not have even consoles, and their brains are connected to the computers by using surgically installed microchips. They would also offer their brain capacity to solve problems, and if there would be a problem, the operator, who sits on Eart can just cut the connection of the microchip. The idea is that in those space stations would live people, whose brains can be connected, and that will gove those systems extremely high level of intelligence and ability to solve problems.

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...
