What if the Earth would be a donut or cube?

What if the Earth would be a donut or cube?

This thing is interesting to think and when we are thinking about the possibility, that the natural planet would look like a donut, we must at first think that this thing is impossible. But then there is one small possibility that the planet would turn to donut-shaped, and that thing can happen when the planet, what is entirely melted, would start to rotate extremely fast, and then the thing like the material jet would go through it and form the planet to a donut. But I must say, that there is only an extremely small probability that this kind of thing would happen.

In this text, the fictional observer would stand on the outer layer of the donut-shaped planet. So this is not writing about Dyson's spheres or some hollow structure. The tale is about geometrical thought about the donut- and the cube-shaped planet, what is only exited in fiction. 

What if the planet would look like a donut?


And the natural planet cannot have a form of the box, because gravity would pull it to the form of the ball. Of course, in the future is possible that the humans or some humanoids would use extremely large lasers to form the planets, how they want. But as you know that making the planet-sized sculpture is difficult, because gravity has a very big effect on those sized particles. 

When we are thinking that the Earth-sized object would look like a donut, that would not affect creatures that are on the surface of that fictional particle. The most visible thing is that the horizon of the particle would be asymmetrical. On the other side, it would be really near the observer and another side it would be the farther. And inside the ring structure, the sky will be dominated a similar landscape, where the observer would stand. The horizon would be straight if it is near, but farther horizons are chamber heavily. 

And the gravity inside the wheel or donut would be stronger than the outer layer, and that means that the donut would not probably have an atmosphere. Or the atmosphere in the inner side would be tight, but also thicker than the outer layer. If we are thinking sharply the atmosphere can fly to space because of centrifugal forces. And centrifugal forces can destroy the entire donut-world. So this means that this kind of thing can be only fiction. 

But what if the planet would look like a cube? 

This kind of planet would not even exist, or it must not rotate at all, because centrifugal forces would destroy it immediately. But if somebody or something would be standing on the surface of that particle, the thing what that creature sees is the straight horizon, and when the creature would reach the horizon, there would be a very deep canyon. 

If the person just steps the wrong way, there is a possibility that the acceleration of falling speed causes that the creature would drop passing another layer and that means dropping to space. But the thing that happens is depending on the size of this fictional particle, and if the particle would have Earth-mass that character cannot slip to space. In this case, our main character would drop to the other layer when it goes back it sees that the layer, where that creature has just left is turned to the canyon. 

One thing that we can say is that the gravity would pull character to down, and that means that if our main character wants to make a parachute jump from the edge of that layer, that thing would fail because gravity would pull it to that layer. So the thing is that those very interesting looking fictional worlds are interesting objects to think about how the geometrical form affects the way how creatures will see things.

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. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core.

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...
