How neural, or learning network makes astronomers work easier?

Neural networks are powerful tools in many fields. The term "neural networks" means learning networks, and when astronomers are operating with this kind of system they are using databases, where is stored data from the universe. One type of data is a simple image of the sky, which are showing things like the position of asteroids at a certain time. And when the system detects some new white spots in those images, that thing might mean new objects in our solar system. 

But the thing where the neural network is the best is that the system can follow large entirety. So, in this case, artificial intelligence follows movements of the thousands or even billions of particles in the asteroid belt. The problem in that area of our solar system is that there are so many particles, that following each of them is difficult, and the human observer cannot even make that thing. 

One of the biggest problems in the cases, where the movements of individual targets are observing in the asteroid belt is that the images of a certain area must take in a certain time. In this version of the research, the system takes pictures simultaneously after a certain period. And the purpose of this process is trying to find new spots from those images. 

The problem with large telescopes is that they are observing only the small part of the sky. The second problem is that those giant telescopes have only limited observation time. When the smaller telescopes are used to find out interesting targets, the system can call larger telescopes to confirm that thing. 

The smaller telescopes can observe larger areas, and they are seeing multiple targets. So if the new spot is noticed, the bigger telescope would call to take a sharper image of that spot. That would share the stress of those telescopes more smoothly.

So in this case, if the new spots in some areas are found, the system can ask bigger telescopes to take an image of that object. Then artificial intelligence can compare the image of the object with other images, what are portraying asteroids. The system is similar, which is used in face recognition in the mobile telephones, and it compares the shape and color of the object and the form of impact craters with the known asteroids, and that will tell is the asteroid already known or the new acquaintance. 

The problem with the calculating trajectories of the asteroids is that the Earth is a rotating planet. So the observatories must cooperate in this kind of mission. That means that the observatories are connected by using the internet, and when the object lays in the horizon in the position of the first observatory, the second one continues its mission. The images are stored in databases like film, and artificial intelligence can follow the movements of those asteroids. 

But when artificial intelligence is calculating trajectories of those objects it must define the beginning point for the series of observations. Then the system must start to take photographs of those asteroids simultaneously, and in that process, the observatories can connect worldwide by using the internet. That means the observatories around the world can take images from the same area and in this process, the system must make sure that the asteroids that are under surveillance are the same all the time.

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...

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...

Who really was Plato, the great philosopher?

When we are thinking about the great philosopher Plato, we are thinking about the man who established the Academy of Athens. And we might remember that this man was a traveler. He traveled in many places in his life and wrote many texts and books, which still is very respected thoughts about the state and other things. When we are looking at the books or series of books, we are facing the thing, that there were lots of texts. If we want to use criticism we must notice that the model of the ideal state is rising the kings in the very high position, and the thing would flatter the kings. And sometimes I have thought that maybe that famous model of the ideal state is written by somebody else. The thing is that the model, where the philosophers rule the state behind the lines of soldiers could be written for the persons like Justinian, who was really flattered. The thing is that this kind of writings was meant for flatter the rulers, who would not persecute philosophers, even they had d...
