Solovetsky Monastery

One very interesting thing about the holy places on Earth is how those places were sacred? How the people, who decided the sanctify someplace made that decision? When we are looking at things like the Solovetsky Monastery(1) that place is about 30 kilometers over the White Sea. The Monastery is founded in 1436 by three Orthodox monks Herman of Solovki (?-1479) and Sabbatius (Savvaty)of Solovki) (?-1436)(3), Zosimas of Solovki (?-1478)(4), and Sabbattius might see the monastery ready. The thing is that those men were hermits, who were looking for peace, but the question is how those men choose the Solovki Islands for the place of their monastery? Was some saint live on that island?

And who was that saint? If we are returning to Heligoland (5) that name is translated to "The Land of Saint" or "Sacred land". (6)We might think one thing, what might be very interesting. Somebody would start the journey from Heligoland to Norway and follow the coast of that country, that person would sooner or later reach the White Sea coast. If our traveler would travel by following the coast, that person would reach the place, what is called "Papinsaari" or "Priests island".

There are 40 kilometers to the Solovetsky. The reason why I believe that traveler who would travel from Heligoland without the map or GPS would travel by following the coastline because there is water, what our traveler can use for drinking. There is a possibility that our travelers will use fire to separate salt from water, but the natural rivers are offering freshwater.

There is also fish for food but those persons can also use algae for food. But could some saint make that travel in real life? Maybe that person would travel from Heligoland to dying in the Solvetsky Islands, and the sky was probably very beautiful, because of the northern lights. But what was the reason, why that person went to that place? Did that person escape something? Or is this only my imagination?

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

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...
