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.

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...

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...
