Biosphere experiments and their connections to Raymond Lindeman


Dr. Raymond Lindeman (1915-1942)(1), one of the greatest ecologists in the world, and the man who created theories of the ecosystem. Those theories are important when the food is going to produce in the closed areas and remote environment. 


Raymond Lindeman was the man, who could give much for science and ecology. But sadly that man was living an only short life and the thing, what we must realize is that if Albert Einstein is something in physics, Raymond Lindeman was something in the ecology. The essays, what that man created were revolutionary. 


And things like recycling the food in the lake are opening the researcher's ability to create ideas the closed- or limited area ecosystems. If we are thinking about things like Biosphere II (2)in the Arizona desert that kind of research is really important when the stable bases to the other planets and moons are starting to establish. 


The thing, that Lindeman proved was that every single organism on the Earth and ecosystem is important. The thing, that Biosphere II was proven is that the entirety like ants, bugs, bacteria, and fungus are important for the ecosystem. If some part of the ecological entirety has been lost, the result would be catastrophic. So when the ecosystem is starting to model to the space station the thing, is that every part of this kind of project must work properly. 


The idea of the modeled ecosystem is that the food and possible cotton can grow inside the space station, which decreases the transportation payments. And that allows making clothes and food in the space stations, what might locate at Moon. The problem with that place is the low gravity field, which is making it difficult to keep the water in the pool, what the plantation requires. 


But the same technology, what is created for the moon bases can be used more easily in the remote bases at the bottom of oceans, deserts, distant islands, and arctic areas. If we want to establish a base in places like the Southern Shetland Islands, what is located near Antarctica, that thing requires food production or internal food production would make the base cheaper to maintain, because that thing doesn't require the supply flights or supply ships so often. 


That kind of remote area would be extremely good places to test technology, which is required in the long-term spaceflights. But the weak gravity of the moon would cause the idea that the entire food supply can be created in the water tank. If we would make the water tank, where the alga and fish are grown underwater conditions, that allows denying the effect of the 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...

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...

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...
