The visions of the bacteria and ability to go to genetic hibernation


What if our DNA would be in the plasmid or wheel form, and there is the genome, what makes our cells go to hibernation at a certain point? We would be creatures, what are living in cycles. When the DNA has been read, we would go to hibernation as some bacteria do. And that brings interesting ideas in my mind. What if we can transfer that genome in the body of some interstellar astronauts somewhere in the future? The chemical stress by some antibiotics can activate the hibernation as it makes for bacteria, which has this ability(1). 


Scientists found 100 000 000 years old hibernate bacteria from the deep sea, and recovered them back alive(2). That thing causes very interesting visions could there some higher organisms that could hibernate thousands or millions of years. Things like expanding the lifetime by transferring the genome, which makes this kind of hibernation possible to the body of even humans. So the thing is that if we would have the same genome, which makes bacteria possible to survive an extremely long time, there is possible that we could also travel to the other stars in the genetic hibernation. 


The genetic hibernation means that every cell in our body would take the same form, what bacteria takes when it goes to "sleep". The thing is that if we would want to expand our lifetime by transferring this kind of genome in our cells, there must be some kind of reason for that. If we would be in the hibernation, we would be dead for people, and in that condition, we would not be very social. So would we have any kind of benefit in that kind of thing?


Maybe that kind of hibernation is only interesting philosophical thinking about the abilities of genetic engineering. And of course, it gives a good topic for some horror-movies, where the criminal would go in hibernate for 300 and then return to terrorize the community. But the thing is that if researchers would connect the computer in the hibernate body, they could have a possibility to control things like robots or spacecraft by using EEG-waves. 


The genetic hibernation where the cells of the body are acting like bacteria, what are encapsulating is an interesting idea. Genetic engineering makes it possible to connect that genome in the DNA, and that gives the extremely interesting visions in the mind. If that "hibernation genome" is at the end of the DNA, that thing causes the creature would live in cycles. When the genetic code is read, that thing causes that the hibernation starts in cycles, and if the DNA is in the plasmid form that means the organism would wake up in certain cycles.

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...

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...
