Thoughts about René Descartes the man, who existed and thought





Thoughts about René Descartes the man, who existed and thought

René Descartes (1) (1596-1650) was one of the most interesting persons, who has ever lived in Europe. He created an idea, that existence means that creature could think independently, and independence of thinking is the same thing, what the independence in life would be. So when creature thinks, that means creature exists. This idea is culminating in modern Artificial intelligence. Are we creating the machine, what exists, or what knows that it existed? This is a very interesting question because stones also exist but they don't know their existence. Or how could I know, does the stone know it's existence? 

I can think that stone is so different creature, that we cannot even notice, it's alive. So for us, it's the creature, what is dead and that's it. The thing is that Descartes was one of the most interesting persons in the history culminates in his work as the teacher of the Queen of Sweden, Christina (1626-1689), who was protestant. Descartes was Catholic and that thing is really interesting because in that time the 30 Years War was just ended, and Catholics had very bad relationships with protestants. 

So how Descartes allowed teaching the had of protestants? The thing is that Descartes died year after he came to Stockholm, is causing many theories about the methods, what this man used in his work. And the thing is that Christina turned to Catholic, and abdicated her crown is remarkable. 

So did Descartes use some kind of suggestion to that 22 years old woman? Those things are really interesting to think, and when we are looking at the work, what Descartes made in the field of research of the anatomy or natural sciences, we must realize that there is something that people are not understood, and that thing is that if Descartes wrote something, that man might mean something else. 

This thing is visible in the image, which is found on the Finnish Wikipedia page about this man. There is an image (3), that demonstrates the cooperation with hand and eye, and there is another explanation for that image. The thing is that the image might also represent the statue, which keeps the book in the hand. And when the time is coming, the sunlight would be conducted to the series of lenses and mirrors to the eyes of the statue, and that thing causes a fire. 


The thing is that the system might use the very big parabolic mirror for conducting the light to a small channel, where is the series of lenses and mirrors. I don't know does this thing work, but if the parabolic mirror, what size is two meters would target to a statue or intaking lens hours in shiny day, that thing might have a very big effect. I don't know did Descartes finalized his ideas, but this kind of thing is very interesting.

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...
