Can the planets of red and brown dwarfs maintain lifeforms?


 



Can the planets of red and brown dwarfs maintain lifeforms?


This is one of the most interesting questions in the history of science, and one of the answers is that the life form, what might be on those planets would be formed in there and they would be adapted to the conditions of the surface of those planets. Red dwarfs are every time so-called flare stars, and there are massive eruptions, what would burn the surface of the planets, what is at the habitable zone. 


But the thing is that there is a possibility that the lifeforms on those planets are different than the lifeforms on our planet. One of the possibilities is the lifeforms are a little bit like some worms, which are pulling their tentacles in when the eruption of the star starts. Or another version would be the alga-type lifeform, what cells would split so fast that the flare of the star would not burn them all. 


In some simulations, the lifeforms would not be active most of the time. That means that the planet would be away from the habitable zone, and when the flare eruption happens the lifeforms would be active a couple of hours, and then go back to hypothermic sleep until the next eruption will start. That kind of lifeform could be some kind of diatoms or bacterial alga. 


The thing is that the term "lifeforms" are not the same as "intelligent lifeforms". So the worms and other kinds of animals can live at the other planets even in our solar system. But the intelligent lifeforms would be a more unusual case. The chance to find the lifeform at the extrasolar planet is always interesting. 


If there is a possibility to find the lifeform from Proxima Centauri B, that can cause the situation that we should re-estimate our models of the lifeforms and possibility to find them. If Proxima B has some kind of lifeforms the similar lifeforms can also be found from the planets of other red and brown dwarfs. 


There is a model that the brown dwarfs or red dwarfs, what are orbiting each other, would have a planet, where are the lifeforms, what is active only when both of those stars are shining to their ice-cold planet. And maybe the active period of some other creatures is limited only the time of flare eruptions. That is one model of the primitive lifeforms that are exciting and interesting, and what can be found also from other dwarf stars.

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...
