One very interesting detail of thylacine


One little detail about the book and TV-series "Arthur C. Clarke's mysterious world" is that in this book we will meet our friend "thylacine"(1), or "Tasmanian Tiger", and I sometimes have thought that this animal has something, what people don't want to tell to a great audience. So the question is, why Clarke choose that animal in the book that tells about great mysteries? The "thylacine" died because of hunting and the last known individual died in the zoo in the year 1933. That animal seems like a mixture of German Shepherd and opossum(1), and it hunted like the opossum. But it was bigger than it. But the biggest species of opossums is 90 cm long, and that means that it can also be very big. 

But then we can think another possibility, that another marsupial "Tasmanian devil" has been killed that very interesting animal, and the reason would be that thylacine was not afraid of the Tasmanian devil. And what would be the reason for that? There is one theory, that might be interesting about people, and the thing is that thylacine didn't know that Tasmanian Devil is the beast. And that brings a really interesting question about that. Normally animals are afraid of their natural hunters and the question is, why thylacines were not afraid of the beast. 

So was thylacine newcomer species? And here it goes very interesting. The thylacine is looking like very much another marsupial opossum. The opossum drinks the blood of the prey and that makes thing makes those animals sometimes very creepy, and there are many tales about those animals. 

That behavior is not unique in the world of animals, and also cats and other beasts are drinking the blood, what comes from the injuries of the victims, because that denies other animals notice, that the beast is hunting in some areas. Sometimes the victims of vampires are victims of the opossum but those might be only stories. Here we must remember that opossums are very large groups of animals, and the largest known species, the Virginian opossum could be over 90 centimeters long. 

So could thylacine be opossum? When we are seeing the pictures of the thylacine, they seem very big, but if the pictures are taken in a zoo, those animals could be much bigger than the same kind of animals, what is living in the natural environment. But the thylacines are looking like little bit German Shepherds, and that thing has brought in my mind one very creepy question: are those animals hybrids? 

So if the opossums are somehow entered into Tasmania, we must ask the reason, what those animals are doing in there? Did they swim over the Pacific ocean? Or are they took to Tasmania for some kind of purpose? And is that purpose make some kind of hybrid species, for some kind of purpose? But what would be the purpose of that thing?

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...
