COVID-19 and the pandemical time-bomb

COVID-19 and the pandemical time-bomb 

COVID-19 has caused that people are starting to realize, that the pandemics are not the thing, what is belonging to movies and African jungles. The viruses are in in the middle of us all the time, and sooner or later some of the viruses are chancing and causes infections. And because in many African nations has limited health care system with limited capacity to recognize viruses, that means that nobody knows about the real number of infected people.

The route of viruses from the animals to humans is sometimes really long, but the speed of transformation would depend on the length of the genomes of the virus. If the length of DNA or RNA is short, even the small changes of the genetic code have a bigger effect than in the cases, where the length of the virus genome is long. But this thing is not sweeping, and also long genome would transform radically if the new genetic material would connect to the right place.

So how the transformation happens?

The transformation of the genomes of the viruses happens when the virus is finding new host species, but also the condition of the genetic material has an effect on that process. The electromagnetic and chemical stress is causing the damages to genetic material, and that means that the genome is chancing also in this way. So when we are talking about the "living viruses" we are talking about the virus genome's ability to connect it's genome to the processes of the cells.

If the virus has two or more layers in its structure, that means that the radiation has problems to affect the genomes. And if the chemical structure of the inner layer is different than the chemical structure of the outer layer, that makes the creation of the vaccine more difficult as usual. In those cases there is sometimes the "crystal" inside the virus, where is the genetic material.

Theoretically, the creation of vaccines is simple. The researchers must only destroy the genome inside the virus, and then inject that thing to people. But the thing is that this process must be done without damaging or changing the chemical structure of the virus makes this process difficult. The structure of the outer layer of the viruses is comprehending complicated molecules. If those molecules are changed the immune system would not recognize the virus and the vaccine does not affect.

Because the virus is only the bite of the genetic material, that means that making sure that genomes of the virus are destroyed is difficult. In the cases of bacteria, this thing happens by using the chemical marks of the metabolism of bacteria. But in the case of viruses, this method cannot be used. If we would just want to destroy viruses, we can target it with electromagnetic radiation, but if we want to create medicines against it, or create deadly viruses for vaccination that thing would be dangerous.

Making sure that all genetic material of the virus is destroyed is important before the vaccine can be used safely

Before dead viruses would be injected into the people, the researchers must be sure that the entire virus population, what is used in that process is dead. If there are living viruses that thing can cause the infection, and increase the speed of suffusing of epidemics.

And when the viruses are killed by some kind of radiation, that thing should not change the antigen of the surface of the viruses, because that thing makes the vaccine useless. In this case, the immune system would react to the wrong antigen, and this makes the creation of vaccines so difficult. The makers of the vaccine must kill the genomes inside the viruses, and make sure that nothing changes the core antigen of the virus.

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...
