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...

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.

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...
