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...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
