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.

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

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...

Who really was Plato, the great philosopher?

When we are thinking about the great philosopher Plato, we are thinking about the man who established the Academy of Athens. And we might remember that this man was a traveler. He traveled in many places in his life and wrote many texts and books, which still is very respected thoughts about the state and other things. When we are looking at the books or series of books, we are facing the thing, that there were lots of texts. If we want to use criticism we must notice that the model of the ideal state is rising the kings in the very high position, and the thing would flatter the kings. And sometimes I have thought that maybe that famous model of the ideal state is written by somebody else. The thing is that the model, where the philosophers rule the state behind the lines of soldiers could be written for the persons like Justinian, who was really flattered. The thing is that this kind of writings was meant for flatter the rulers, who would not persecute philosophers, even they had d...
