The amateur astronomer might solve the source of the famous Wow!-signal. And there is a similar star to our sun. 

The name of that astronomer who found where the Wow! (1)-signal came is Alberto Caballero (2). This is the big step for science, the first time the possibility that the Wow!-signal is coming from other civilizations has taken seriously. There is a possibility that the source of the signal is in the area where is the yellow star. The star is similar to our sun. That thing increases the interest in this mysterious signal that was heard in 1977. The Wow!-signal captured once, and then there were no such signals, what is remarkable. In some explanations, the comets caused the so-called Wow!-signal (3). 

If the source of that signal is some malfunctioned electric device that thing would happen more than once. And the radio telescopes would not recognize microwaves. Microwave telescopes are normally at the satellites away from the Earth's atmosphere. They are operating with radio frequencies. So that means that there is a possibility that the sender of that famous signal is a similar civilization, what we are. Or let's hope that they are not "too much" like us. 

The location of the star is probably calculated by using the method, where the point the Wow!-signal came calculate for both antennas of the "Big Ear"- telescope.  That thing eliminates the error in the computer code and gives two points, what are opposite side to both of them. And then the large optical telescopes can look at those points, or in this case, the researcher would just take the star lists for both of those points, and that thing could make possible that one amateur astronomer could locate the point, where that famous signal came. 

The thing that makes the Wow!-signal so interesting is that the signal could hear only once. That thing almost closes away from the possibility that the neutron star or pulsar is sending that signal.  But of course, there is a possibility that the neutron star is just fallen.  And change the direction of its poles. But I don't believe that thing even myself. So the Wow!-signal is one of the most fascinating signals ever captured. 

If the sender of this signal is the alien race, the reason why it is sent is a mystery. In some theories, the Wow!-signal meant for some kind of lighthouse or calibration tool. But that thing is a hypothesis. But if there is a similar star with our sun at the location, where the signal came. That thing increases the interest in that mysterious signal what was captured in 1977.

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...
