The HIV-virus and genetic experiments


Reverse transcriptase is the ultimate tool for genetic engineering. In some retroviruses, the genome is pack in the form of the DNA, and the enzyme called reverse transcriptase (or reverse transcriptase enzyme) will split that DNA into two pieces. The reverse transcriptase can use as the tool for making the genetic manipulation or genome transplant between species. In this version, the reverse transcriptase enzyme would put in the nose of the nanotube, and in that case, it will be used to split the DNA into two pieces. 


There is a possibility to use the natural version of that enzyme if the researchers can isolate that molecule from some viruses. The fact is that the HIV-virus has this enzyme, and if the laboratories can isolate it from viruses, they can create the "magic stick" that can be used for genetic manipulation and genome transfer projects. But that thing requires that the virus, what is used as the DNA in the genome. 


In the AIDS-virus above the genome is in the two pieces of RNA, and the reverse transcriptase will connect those RNA bites to DNA. In some cases, this enzyme just aims the RNA molecules in a different direction, Another will send to cell organ, where it will make the organ to make copies of the virus. So reverse transcription will give unlimited changes to connect and split the genomes. It can connect the RNA but it can also split the DNA. Those enzymes are different, but together they are the most powerful tools in genetic engineering. 


If we are saying that HIV-virus is somehow interesting in the point of view of genetic research we might not mean that the virus is artificial. Or we don't mean that the virus is somehow artificial. The thing that makes HIV-virus interesting is that there is a thing that is called "reverse transcriptase enzyme". The purpose of that enzyme is to transform the DNA into the RNA and reverse transcriptase makes that thing by splitting the DNA in the two bites. 


So what makes the reverse transcriptase enzyme so interesting? The enzyme itself can isolate from the retrovirus, and then it can split every kind of DNA into two pieces. Those pieces of DNA are the RNA molecules. The fact is that this kind of RNA can make it possible to connect the new bites of genomes between species. The thing is that by using the reverse transcriptase the genomes of the DNA of every single species can split into two pieces. And the RNA can transfer to every organism what have a nucleus.

When robots are laughing and crying.

When robots are laughing and crying.  Does the AI have feelings?  Does the AI have feelings? Or can it be emphatic? The fact is this program code that controls the AI determines if it can give empathic reactions. The problem with the human nervous system is that we don't make a difference in the writing of empathic letters or telling empathic stories human or AI. Our nervous system is not adapted to AI yet. And that's why we cannot separate text written by AI from text that made by humans.  What does somebody make with AI that can emulate feelings? The fact is that the cyborgs are useful tools for infiltration operations. The human-size robots can have WLAN/6G connections with the central computers. Or they can form a neural network that shares information between all group members. The robots can also act as walking neural network-based supercomputers. That can make complicated solutions.  In those networks, each member shares information and their data-handling capacity all o

Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization

    Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization The Earth 2.0 or officially Kepler-452b is locating extreme log distance from Earth(1).    A new Earth-type planet has been found near the star, which is similar to our own Sun. The journey to that planet would take 1400 years, even if the spacecraft will reach the speed of the light. The planet has been found in the year 2008, but the confirmation of the existence of that planet has been taken time, but in 2015 the confirmation has been got, and Earth 2.0 has turned true.  The mass of that planet is 1,9 times Earth and the temperature is excellent if we are thinking about liquid water, but the journey to that planet will take so long, that we cannot ever go in there by using regular rockets and technology. The thing is that this kind of planets are the most interesting if we are looking for the lifeforms, which are similar to us, and the problem with that kind of things is that the communicatio

Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission

  Image I Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission 1) Tunguska UFO-theory  Tunguska meteorite is the mystery, that has been solved once, but then the case has been open again because Lake Cheko was not suitable for an impact crater. That lake has been introducing as an impact crater of the Tunguska meteorite. But the problem is that the shape of that lake is like a swimming pool. And that means it cannot form by a meteorite. So the mystery remains.  Meteorites can launch the natural nuclear fission if they hit the uranium ore, and transfer the impact energy to that ore. And is the thing that the famous "Tunguska" meteorite caused that kind of effect? There is also a theory that some "UFO" explode in that area, but the thing is that it is only theory, but interesting topics for some TV-series.  So I will begin this text by handling that theory, which is one of the incredible and outstanding theories in the world. Officially there is no physical evidence of
