Biological warfare and pandemic




Biological warfare and pandemic

This coronavirus has been shown how effective weapons viruses are, and when we are thinking about the pandemics or local epidemics, we must realize that for the biological warfare is in normal scenarios used the micro-organisms, what are "strengthen" against medicals. Normally those micro-organisms can be bacteria, which are easier to control by using strong antibiotics. In the cases of bacteria, the antibiotics would have an effect to protect own troops and civil personnel against those weaponized bacteria. 

When we are thinking about the history of warfare the biological weapons are as old as the human race. In history, the bodies from the battlefield have been throw to the enemy territories, and the rats are released to the cities to make people's life difficult. Also, people who were infected with plague(1) or cholera (2) have been led to hostile areas. There is a vaccine and also antibiotics against cholera and the death rates are between 5-50%, and there were 28 000 deaths in 2015 in this disease. The thing is that if antibiotics would not affect, that thing causes dangerous situations. This kind of thing is a good example of people able to invent new ways to destroy others. 


Syphilis was one of the best ways to calumniate the political resistance of some leaders. The reason is that when syphilis bacteria in the late-syphilis infect the human brains and cause neural damages(3). 

One popular thing was to send the prostitutes who had syphilis to the enemy's bedroom or inject that bacteria to the blood of political prisoners. The thing, that made that kind of idea effective in the hands of the political police was that syphilis causes mental illness, and that thing decreased the trust for the testimonies. Also, people think that syphilis is the sexually transmitted disease that caused that it was a good tool for calumniate the political enemies of the state. 

The thing that makes biological warfare so scary is that there is no way to prove that some infections or epidemics are caused in purpose. The cholera is so deadly that even in modern days antibiotics must be given immediately. And if the antibiotics would not affect the bacteria also normal bacteria cause death. 

But when we are facing micro-organisms, what are resistant to medicine, we cannot say is that thing made in purpose. The natural bacteria is a very good tool in the hands of the attacker, because of that thing that the genomes of the bacteria have been modified is hard to prove. 

When we are talking about things like spiked organisms, we are normally mean organisms that are predisposed to the small doses of antibiotics. This kind of thing happens all the time, and the problem is proving that the manipulation has been made in purpose is very difficult. 

That thing causes the bacteria cultures are creating resistance against those micro-organisms. This kind of thing is extremely dangerous, but the thing, that makes biological weapons addictive is that they are cheap and quite easy for the produce large numbers. Only one cell can put on the nutrient base, and then it can be used to create the new weapon, which can be released to the water system or spray over people by using the same aircraft, which is used in agriculture.

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...
