Photon computer

Photon computer

The idea of photon- or laser computer is that the electricity would be replaced by light, which means that the temperature of the microprocessor would be lower than in some traditional computer, what will use electricity for transporting data. In laser computers, the problem is that the production of needed components is really difficult, and the replacement of electricity by using the light seems absurd. But then we can think one thing, what is not normally mentioned when we are written or read things like laser computers.

We could use a laser system as well to transport information and energy to the components. In this solution every each component of the computer would be equipped with small-size photovoltaic cells. Those cells would receive data from transmitting a laser beam, and also they could create electricity for the component, and this brings fascinating things in the mind.

If this kind of computer would someday be made, the system could save electricity. The thing what makes this system revolutionary is that every each component in this kind of computer have an independent power source, and the power to that system would be brought to the electric circuit by using lasers. That kind of system opens new doors to the world of computing.

The system what I will describe here is the hybrid version of traditional and photon computer. So it's not pure photon computer, and less radical or revolutionary, what it seems. But that thing could bring a big advantage in computing if it would someday work and this kind of microchips would become cheaper to produce.

The internal architecture of every single component would be like in a traditional microchip, but the data travel between those microchips in the form of photons. Each of those components would be equipped with the laser, and small photovoltaic-cell, which also would create the electricity to those microcircuits. The idea of this kind of system is that the microchips would produce electricity, only when they need it.

This system would operate with a very low voltage, and because of the copper wires between those components are replaced with the laser rays, what can travel in open space. If that system would put in the vacuum box, those laser rays would not create very much heat, what is the problem with normal computers. The components can be connected to the core of the vacuum box, which helps to cool them. The thing is that the heat would create oscillation in the microchip, which will cause the dropping of the speed of computing.

So in these kinds of futuristic hybrid computers, the temperature would be lower than in normal, or traditional computer, and that would someday be a very effective solution for computing, along with quantum computers, what are superior solutions for high power computing. But the work must be done, and that's why those systems along with quantum computers would be in the future answers in the problems of high power computing. Or this kind of system could use quantum technology if it someday could be done. But this is the visions of tomorrow.

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...

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...
