Wings of desire (Der Himmel über Berlin)

 



Wings of desire (Der Himmel über Berlin)

Der Himmel über Berlin means literally "The Sky over Berlin", and I write this text because I just watched this movie. This movie was made in 1987 when West Berlin was in the middle of East Germany, and there were two Germanys. West Berlin was like some island in the middle of another state, which was somehow interesting but at the same time frightening. East Germany was a society, that controlled everybody.

The security police used eavesdropping and only the suspicion that people had some attitudes, which was against the "accepted opinions" caused arresting and those people send to a mental institute. Sometimes people have asked, what would East Germany's security police make with a quantum computer?

There was a wall around West Berlin what was like a wall between two worlds, and there could be seen houses in East Berlin while people were walking around Berlin near the famous wall. The roofs of those houses were interesting but at the same time frightening. And there were tales that the East German security police photographed people who walked near the wall. That famous Berlin wall was more than just a wall.

It was the line between two worlds Communist East Germany and Capitalist Wes Germany. It was also the border between the two most powerful military alliances. There were tales that there were hidden 100 megatons nuclear device in East Berlin, and the same tale told about West Berlin. There were many tales around that city.

In one version the East German authorities hide the loudspeakers in the structures of the Berlin wall. In some other versions of that urban legend, the loudspeakers would replace by using the electromagnetic system. But those things are only urban legends.

Those loudspeakers would send the infrasound to West Berlin, and then that system could brainwash all the population of West Berlin. Another version was that in wartime the East German military would conduct electricity to that wall, and then the electric field would burn the entire West Berlin. The urban legends are powerful weapons in the right hands.

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...
