Do you know why estimation of the age of the universe is so difficult?


The estimation of the age of planets bases the radioactive isotopes. 


The method that researchers are using in that process is the half-time of the longest living radioactive isotopes. The Bismuth-209(1) is the longest living known isotope. The problem is that the radioactive isotopes, what are used should exist from the beginning of the time, and that's why this kind of method is useless if we want to estimate the age of the universe. 


 If the radioactive isotope forming in the fusion reaction in the star, the method is useless. The radioactive method is useful if we must estimate the age of the planets, but that thing requires that there are radioactive isotopes on the planets, and there is a possibility that those isotopes are just ended from the eldest planets. So those planets are geological dead. 


There is a possibility that the tidal forces that are caused because of other particles like moons around those extremely old planets would cause that there is liquid magma inside them. But those planets would be far different, what we are used to, and it is possible that somewhere in the universe is this kind of planet. 



How to calculate the age of the universe?


When the universe is expanding the density of the radiation and material is turning lower(2). That means that when we are thinking the universe as the ball, what is expanding. The size of the ball, what we are calling is expanding the distance between those particles is expanding. And the density of the radiation and material is decreasing. 


So that thing can be useful in the calculations about the age of the universe if we would know the power of the Big Bang. The thing is that the estimation of the age of the universe requires very sharp measurements(3) and complicated calculations make the real-life work for estimating the age of the universe quite a complicated thing. 


The easiest way to calculate the age of the universe is to measure the distance between Earth and the point of Big Bang. The problem of that thing is how to make that measurement. The scientists should only follow the tracks of photons, and then find the point, where the photons are starting to travel away from Earth in the same line. 


And the thing is that making this kind of observation is difficult. The thing that would make this method easy would be that the galaxies would be in the same direction on the ball-layer, and then the astronomers must just draw the lines to the center of the universe. But theory is far away from the practice.

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...

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.

 Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.  The modern Hounds of Baskerville ABW:s (Advanced biological weapons are the modern Hounds of Baskerville. The term ABV means the animal which is genetically engineered. And which is controlled by using some interactive electronic systems. There is a possibility to connect the action camera to dogs collars. And transmit commands to that animal by using electronic systems. Spoken words can use to the commands.  Or they can be a series of sounds that are stored in the sound files. When the operator activates a certain file that sound means a certain command to the animals. There is the possibility to automatize some commands by connecting the system to the image recognition tool. When the action camera sees something that is stored in the memory of the computer. That system sends the coded order to the animal.  Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the most lethal combination in the world. The ABW:s (Advanced Biological ...

Facebook and dominance of the media.

The position of Facebook is dominating and that causes concern. Facebook is a well-known and commonly used service. And that thing causes that the information is starting to pile up in that service. That information contains data that we might want to hide. Facebook is a network-based service that can use for many purposes from marketing to intelligence.  Facebook was down and the thing cost about half a million dollars per hour to that service. That shutdown has shown how dominating that service has been growing. Facebook is a powerful tool. It can use to track the networks of people.  Artificial intelligence can show the network map of the people who are using that service. The data that travels between certain members of the network can show how often those people are contacting each other. There is a lot of criticism against Facebook but the fact is that everybody is using that thing.  The attitudes toward Facebook are conflicting. People are criticizing that service ...
