Sampo the magical artifact in Finnish mythology

Sampo the magical artifact in Finnish mythology



Kalevala the national epos of Finland is full of symbols. And maybe Sampo was the symbol of person or machine, what people can benefit in their life. But for benefiting that thing, they must realize the value of that thing, what seems like worthless. The thing is that the value of a thing can see when somebody can make contact with it and start to operate with it.

So if people would get benefit from the Sampo they must keep their mind open. And they should not close any things from the mind, even if they seem to be unrealistic.

Today I had an idea that for some researchers Sampo, what is mentioned in Kalevala as the mythical artifact, or celestial sphere would mean that the thing, what creates money, salt and corn. That thing has been explained in many ways, and one explanation, that is connected with UFOs is interesting. The explanation is that Sampo was the communication or data transmitting between some things, what was staying on the ground, and the Black Knight satellite.

This means that this thing could be a portable device, which would send the image from satellite to the user. And if we are thinking that the blacksmith would make that system, that could mean that this person just fixed a couple of electrodes. This is one of the most fascinating and original explanations of this thing. In this theory that device would be dropped from some kind of humanoid, but as you know that this thing is not a scientific theory. But it is a theory as well as other theories.

But there is another explanation of Sampo, and this explanation is very interesting. The thing is that Sampo could be some person, who could make those things. The thing, that is called the celestial sphere could be the curriculum vitae, and the people like Vainamoinen understood the value of that person, who might be different than others. Or that person knew where to take those things like money, salt, and corn. In this version, Sampo was the person, who had the models, what could be made for creating the faked money. And then the people were going to the marketplace and test that money with tradesmen.

And of course, another version is that Sampo created those things by using some kind of genetic manipulation and chemical reactions. But that thing is straight from some humorous book, and this is why we must be careful when we are writing about this kind of thing. The thing is that Sampo is many ways symbolic machine or artifact.

Maybe it symbolizes things like some kind of steam or water-powered hammer. If some village would have a perfect place for that kind of tool, that would mean that it could rent that machine to other people, and this would make them rich. In this scenario, Sampo is some kind of place like race, where water flows with very high speed.

And that allows it to give power to the mill or some giant hammer, which is used for creating heavier parts than a single person can. So that might mean that Sampo symbolizes the opportunity to get the benefit of something, what is original and belongs to something, what is very special and reserved to people, who have skills and abilities to see things that other people don't understand.

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.

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...
