Why we don't think of Dante as a serious scientist, even he mapped the universe six centuries before Einstein?

Dante, the writer of the book "Divine Comedy" description of hell is the man, who is causing many kinds of thoughts. At first, we must remember that Dante Alighieri or simply Dante (C.1265-1321) lived in Medieval time, and during that time the best way to make the road to a bonfire was to publish something that was not accepted by the Catholic church. So if something was against the order of the Catholic church. That caused torture and the death penalty in the hands of inquisition. 

The second thing is that Dante is known only as a writer, not a serious scientist. Maybe Dante was a serious scientist, but he must cover his work as the artistical work, and that means he wanted other people to know him only the writer, not a scientist. When we are analyzing his books and especially ´"Divine Comedy" we must realize that there is one of the most interesting books in history. 

There are two explanations of things like "Inferno" which Dante described in that book. The first is that somebody was keeping secret minings in somewhere and took the gold to Europe without telling that thing to the rulers. The second explanation was that Dante visited some alien base, but that thing is almost too exotic to believe. But when we are seeing the image above this text, Dante is portrayed as the researcher, who carefully follows the text, what he sees. That image is from the Wikipedia article, what is telling about Dante. 

The reason why Dante Alighieri used only his first name was that he probably wanted to hide his identity. And the second thing is that maybe the books, what that man wrote were reports for somebody, who wanted to read them. The thing is that in the time of Dante, many people wanted to know the secrets of the Vatican, and maybe Dante was working for someone, who wanted to see, what made the seat of Pope the seat of power.

Did Gustave Dóre get his ideas for those images from the automatons?

On the Wikipedia page of Dante is three images drawn for the book "Divine Comedy" by the man known as Gustave Dóre (1832-1883). When we are seeing that giant eagle, we can ask is it possible that there were flying robots in the lifetime of Gustave Dóre. By using modern technology is possible to make the flying robot, what flaps its wings, but is it possible to make an automaton, mechanic robot what flies like a bird and looks like Eagle? 

The most left of those images portraits the giant eagle, which takes a woman to flight. The image in middle is the thing, what is explained as the UFO or something like that. When we are thinking that the creature wants to make the wormhole between objects, that thing requires two rings, where the singularity is made in the middle of those rings by targeting the piece of material the fully symmetrical radio waves. 

And the most right image is the tunnel to the heave, which has sometimes caused explanations of some kind of wormholes or giant space stations like O'Neill cylinders. The thing is that where Gustave Dóre got his ideas for those images is interesting, but those things are fascinating. The thing is that we are observing those things from the point of view, of our knowledge. And even those images are only the production of imagination, they are causing fantastic ideas in my mind.

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...
