The quantum tunneling and crossing the speed of light

It's possible to cross the speed of light simply way. The electron must just accelerate to a speed that is near the speed of light in a vacuum, 299 792 458 m/s. Then we must just aim the electron to the medium, where the speed of light is slower than the speed of electrons and because the electron has the mass, the slowing cannot be limitless.

The same thing that is possible with electrons should work with photons, if the photon has mass it should need time for slowing. If particles like photons or electrons are over-energetic the energy is not disappearing. In that process, the particle must transfer its energy to some other place. Or transform it to wave movement.

Slowing the speed of the electron happens in a very short time. But during this very short moment, the electron is traveling at a speed that is higher than the speed of the light. This same thing happens with all other particles which have mass. And the function of the neutrino detector bases on that thing. When a high-speed neutrino hits the water, it must conduct its energy to something, and neutrino releases it as the blue light flash.

But when we are thinking about quantum tunneling, the thing that electron or neutrino can make doesn't mean that the things like spacecraft, which weight is thousands of tonnes can make the same thing. Quantum tunneling means that something like an electron can cross the speed of light.

Sound is the movement of molecules.

Can sound travel higher speed with the speed of sound? Sound is the pressure wave, that travels through the air. And the pressure is the movement of air molecules. The molecule or gas can travel faster than the speed of the sound, so how we should call the pressure wave what travels with speed, what is higher than the speed of sound.

Gas moves faster than the speed of sound every day in the universe. When the flares are forming in the sun, they are moving at a very high speed, and if we would hear that sound, it would be marvelous. The pressure waves that are coming out from the nucleus of the stars is the sound. And the traveling plasma clouds are also one version of the molecular wave movement. So the radars can see the incoming gas.

And turn the wave movements of the molecular or plasma clouds to sound by sending the image of movements of gas to the computer that transfers those images to sound synthesizer. Using the same technology the aircraft or satellite can observe the movements of gas around single persons. Using high-accurate radar or laser technology can use to eavesdrop on people even from high-altitude and orbital platforms. The requirement is that the system must aim to target by using very high accuracy But if that thing is possible the next generation laser microphone is the reality.

One paradox is that the soundwave can travel at the speed of light. Sound is the movement of molecules in a medium. And when the molecule is dropping into the black hole it travels at the speed of light. So if we would go to transition disk and yell that thing makes the soundwave, what travels in transition disk, but we would burn to ash if we try to make that thing in real life. But can sound travel faster than the speed of sound.

When the air molecules are dodging the supersonic aircraft they are traveling at a speed that is higher than the speed of sound causing the sonic boom. But can we call those extreme high-speed pressure walls the sound or should we just call them the pressure waves? If we are making the loudspeaker which film moves faster than sound, that thing makes the sound or pressure waves, what is traveling with the speed, what is higher than the speed of sound.

The fact is that the shockwave of the nuclear explosion is the soundwave, what origin is in the nuclear reaction of the nuclear bomb. So that means that the nuclear bomb can make the pressure wall that travels at a very high speed. But can we call that wall the sound- or shockwave? That's an interesting question because it's the movement of molecules.

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...
