The skull and pipe

The skull and pipe

In some paintings, death smokes a pipe, and there are three ways to think about that thing. Or I have seen one painting or woodcut, where death has portrayed while that horrifying character is sitting and smoking. Does that mean that tobacco causes cancer? In the modern time that thing would mean that but on the 18th. century there was no knowledge about cancer and the connection between tobacco and cancer.

But who knows, how much of those things kept secret in the 18th. century. Cancer would be a good way to ditch the people, who knew too much. The normal people did not know, what that thing, what caused blood in the sputum, and death very soon. So did the ancient doctors knew the connection between cancer and tobacco? Those things were secrets, that they could use to make people unable to tell anything when they are divorced from the active commanding position.

But another thing, what that pipe might mean is that if the person has put the active carbon filter in the pipe. And then the careless person would come to threat that thing, what is portrayed as death, that can be the last thing, what that person can ever do. If the room is filled with carbon monoxide, the filter can save the person's life, but the intruder would die.

And in some science fiction stories in the pipe would cover the small generator. That thing would give electricity to the small magnetron, which will give electromagnetic impulse to target, and that thing would cause even death. These kinds of things are always happening in science fiction tales. This kind of thing is making heroes or the master of bad guys invincible in the many tales, what are meant for the younger audience. These kinds of things are the most interesting examples of productive thinking, what makes us human beings.

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

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...
