 The biggest of the wild card effects is the human factor.




The human factor is the thing that makes predictions very difficult. 


The thing is that we can predict how the large gas masses behave in the universe. We can make algorithms that predict if there is some kind of exoplanet or civilization near some star. But we cannot predict how the human race and our society are behaving. The thing called: "the human factor" is one of the biggest of the so-called "wild card effects". 

The wild card means the surprising and non-predictable thing that has a large-scale influence on the environment. And the power of human nature is visible in the cases like COVID-19 vaccination programs. It is predicted that authorities can remove limitations caused by pandemics when the level of vaccinated people reaches 80%.  But the percentual number of the vaccinated people would rise hardly over 80%. 

And that thing is one of the examples of the human factor. All people would not take vaccines even if against the sense. These kinds of human factors are causing problems for making predictions for the future. When people are against something, they just want to follow their road even if that thing is against their benefit. 


Social media is one of the most impressive examples of wild cards. 


The cases that the human factor would terminate all predictions are examples of why computers cannot predict the future. When the AI is making the prediction it will collect all data about the cases, and then it will see are the similar signals visible in nature. But when we are thinking about technology advantages and development process that thing is out of control. 

There is one wild card that is totally out of control and that is social media. That thing is hard to control. And then another and even larger size thing is the internet. Nobody controls what people are doing at their part-time. And the information of the programming is easy to find from the net. So every person in the world can begin their artificial intelligence project. 

There is nobody who leads the R&D processes that are basing the open-source. Those kinds of things are self-controlling. And that thing means that no leader can stop those processes. When a developer makes something the response of the product is in the developer's seat. 

The same developers that can make the algorithm that can search data from the internet can also make spy programs and computer viruses. And that is the problem. But those programs can also use for searching drug dealers and slave traders. So are the surveillance programs so bad? Or is in those programs something good? 

Even if own projects by using the computers that belong to a company are prohibited everybody can buy their computer for that kind of thing. And the recommendation is that for own business is used own computers. 

The wild data causes turbulence in the environment. And the turbulence can cause. That even the strongest signals are covering. This thing makes traditional leadership very hard. The movement from the upper-controlled process will turn to a self-controlled process. And this thing makes the next challenge for society.

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...
