This is a big step for SETI-program

 




This is a big step for SETI-program


NASA is starting to fund a Harvard University project to hunt for the technical civilizations. And this thing tells that the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) is taken more seriously. The new exoplanet observations are increasing the pressure and hope to search for the extraterrestrial technically advanced civilizations. The search contains two main roads.


-----------------------------------------------------


Two ways to search the alien civilization


1) Attempt to find the radio signals from other solar systems. The ideal version of that kind of contact is to find the synthetic frequencies, which can be identified by causing artificial transmission. Another version is just searched the alpha-emission of the hydrogen, and hope that the alien would follow that frequency. 


The idea is that because hydrogen is the most common element in the universe, also aliens would listen to it. And the idea is to use that frequency as the call-channel. 


But there is a problem with that kind of attempt. And that is that alien must separate the message, what is sent from the radio telescopes by human researchers. So there is the possibility, that aliens would not detect the signal, because of the background radio noise. And here the question is should we attempt to make contact actively. That means active radio transmissions to the stars, where the suspected alien civilization is living. Or should we just listen? 


2) Attempt to find the "fingerprints" of the technical civilization. Those things are pollution and some other chemical changes in the environment, which would be suitable for alien lifeform, which is similar to us. 


But the problem is finding a suitable planet is difficult, and there is a possibility, that the aliens would not use the combustion engines anymore. So the thing is that this kind of search would take an extremely long time because the telescopes should observe the area near every known star. 

------------------------------------------------------


If we make contact with aliens, we don't know a thing about those species


And then we must realize one thing. Facing alien civilization would be at the same time fascinating and frightening experience. The thing is that aliens would not be like humans. They might look like humans, but they are formed on a different planet. And that thing makes this kind of contact dangerous. 


The culture of the aliens might be different, what we have, and that means that this kind of thing is making the SETI-program so interesting. Everybody wants to see aliens, but the thing is that at that moment we would see that we are only one civilization with other civilizations. But would that thing revolutionize the society of the human race? Maybe we would turn to unite and the wars will be ended, but the thing is that this kind of thing is pure hypothesis, until we are making the first contact with alien civilizations.

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 ...
