The cosmic whale


The cosmic whale

Bioships the cosmic version of "Kranken" is one of the most extraordinary ideas in the world of futurism. The idea is that the entire spacecraft would be made by using the living tissue. One of the easiest ways is to cross the fungus and diatoms and then create the layer, where every cell is connected with the small strings. And the layer could be covered by using the polymer, which fits space. The cells of this kind of bioships can be connected to the brains, which is created by living neurons. 

This kind of system could recycle the nutrient, and maybe this feels impossible to make, but maybe in the future, the advanced nano- and biotechnology, what allows to create the artificial DNA or RNA that has precisely wanted properties. Creating this kind of thing, what could be even more intelligent than humans, and what can make things, what living organisms can is fascinating. 

But as you might know, bioships are not an invention of the sci-fi films of the 1970s or "Babylon 5" TV-series. There have been some sci-fi tales about the giant space octopus or jellyfish in the old books, and the idea has turned the giant space whales in the front of the eyes of the people in the movie theaters. 

There have been theories or plans to make the giant artificial squids in the laboratory. In the heads of those artificial monsters would be installed the ball-shaped module, what is connected to the nervous system of that artificial squid, and that kind of systems would be used in many missions from the scientific research to underwater work and military missions. 

If we are thinking about biological spacecraft and underwater vehicles, that kind of thing can have one benefit to regular structures. They can fix themselves without specific commands. And that makes the use of biologically renewing material in the large structures a really interesting thing. But could we sometimes make that thing in real life? 

The answer is that theoretically, the process would not be difficult. The giant squid just be cloned, and the controlling ball would install in the head of that creature, and then it would be connected into it's the nervous system. And if we would want to create the spacecraft, what is using the biological structures, the cells can be covered by using the polymer, which protects the craft against cosmic radiation.

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. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. 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...
