Viruses are not the only thing, what causes pandemics


Viruses are not the only thing, what causes pandemics

I just watched a movie about the famous law enforcer and businessman Wyatt Earp (1848-1929) and his partner Doc Holiday (1851-1887), who had the lung disease or sharper saying tuberculosis. In real life, that man died in lung tuberculosis at the age of 36. When we are thinking that tuberculosis is one of the worst epidemics on the ground, and that thing causes death if there s no effective antibiotics, we might ask how many people Doc Holiday have been killed by infected them by the tuberculosis bacteria. So that thing tells how many ways of thinking has been changed from the 19th century. 

In modern days that man would put into quarantine and that would deny the transferring organisms to another person. But in the time of Wild West, there was no quarantine, and that man waked in the middle of people and transmit bacteria to other people. 

The thing, that decreased the risk to get that bacteria was quarantine and later antibiotics. Sometimes researchers said, that they have won this disease, but sometimes it would come back, and the problem is that this bacteria has been turned sometimes resistant against the antibiotics. 

Also, things like resistant bacteria and bacillus are causing pandemics, and if we are thinking cases like tuberculosis that is still one of the deadliest diseases if the antibiotics would not affect that thing. And of course, cholera and other things like the plague are deadly even the antibiotics like penicillin has existed almost 100 years. 

The thing what makes bacteria deadly is that the antibiotics are used the wrong way and if the cure period of antibiotics is too short, or the antibiotics are used the wrong way, the result is that the strongest individual of the bacteria population would survive, and that means that the antibiotics would not affect to bacteria or bacillus. Also, bacteria and bacillus would create resistance against the antibiotics, and that thing is causing that the antibiotics cannot destroy bacteria. 

One of the reasons why the bacteria turn to resistance is that the antibiotics would throw to nature. In those cases, the small dose of antibiotics activates the immune system of bacteria, and then that bacteria would transfer this ability to the other bacteria in the population. So when bacteria face antibiotic it would start to send the chemical marks that it is in trouble.

And that causes that other bacteria would send it the small bite of the genome, which makes that bacteria resistant to antibiotics. But how the immune defense of bacteria is working? The normal procedures of defense are that bacteria would close the ion pumps on its protein layer, and that denies the molecule entry to the cell. Or it would start to create the resistant molecules, what mission is to neutralize the antibiotics molecules. And that means that there are many other threats in nature than some viruses.

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...
