Social withdrawal is one of the things that is causing discussions.

When we see persons who are social withdrawal. We must ask one very important question. Are those people alone, because of their own will, or are they kicked out from the team? If the person is somehow different, that thing can cause other people to want to close them out from their group.  That thing can cause very big trauma for people who are trying to be social. If the only answer for the person who tries to come to talk with other people is silence or some "get lost" that thing can cause that person would not even want to talk with other people. The reason for social withdrawal can be that person gets bad feedback during the first years in school.  Social withdrawal is one example of the things like complicated psychiatric diseases like autism and schizophrenia. There is a genetic disorder behind those things. And the fact is that autism and schizophrenia are the most complicated psychiatrical disorders in the world. There is the possibility that an autist would not say

Quantum cryptography makes it possible to create unbreakable codes.

  Things like BlowFish and TwoFish encryption are been begin to the development of quantum cryptology. The virtual model of quantum encryption uses the series of prime numbers along with some other numbers. For the multiplication of the ASCII codes.  Those prime numbers can be so-called quantum prime numbers, and they can be decimal numbers that are involving thousands of numbers. So the creation of those numbers is difficult. But quantum computers changed the game. They can create those quantum prime numbers in a very short period.  Quantum cryptology is like the use of imaginary numbers to create an encryption algorithm. But in the real quantum encryption process, the encryption key is stored in a physical form called a qubit. The qubits are physical components, and the hackers cannot get data from them without destroying those qubits.  The thing that makes the quantum system very secure. Qubits can be photons, electrons, protons, quarks, or some ions. The information will load to qu

The question about the health of Putin

There are lots of discussions about the health of Vladimir Putin. The image above is taken from the Finnish media. You can see two bruises on both sides of the nose just between the nose and eye. There seems to be some kind of pothole in the middle of those bruises.  Another remarkable thing is that Putin seems too young like his skin would be elongated. The blood vessels are visible. And skin seems to be like paper. So is there some kind of plastic surgery behind those skin anomalies? But the bruises are a different thing.  They can tell that Putin has some blood cancer. Normally bruises are along with fatigue marks of blood cancer. Or another thing that can cause this thing is liver cancer. If Putin used too much alcohol that thing can cause cirrhosis. And if the drinking doesn't end that thing causes cancer or gangrene in the liver. The liver cleans the entire blood, and if there is cancer it will spread all over the body very soon.  And that makes liver cancer so deadly. Even i

Stealth is the race of domination.

Image 1:) Su-35 during exercise The Russian military claims that its Su-35 jets are sweeping out Ukrainian S-300 system missiles. There is no concrete evidence that this thing is done, but Su-35 is one of the most powerful jet fighters in the world. The Ukrainian war makes it possible that western researchers can get Russian fighters in their hands.  And maybe Ukrainians are allowed to get the best Western weapons if they give access to the Russian jet fighters that are shot down or captured. One of the reasons why the Russians would not want to jam the GPS is claimed that Russians use that system themselves. But the problem with that scenario is that Western operators will know the position of every single Russian fighter.  What researchers can get from that debris? They can get serial numbers of the GPS that is connected to the cockpit of the Su-35. That serial number can connect with credit cards. That used to buy that system. And another thing that trash can tell Western operators

Inflation is not the only thing that affects prices.

Customers are wondering why prices in the EUR area are so high. One of the reasons is inflation. But that thing is not the only thing that causes rises in the prices. Another thing that affects the prices of products is the price of the cargo. And of course, how much product is offered for markets is affecting the prices.  Things like wars in the production areas are causing the rise in the prices. Things like uncertainty are also giving negative signals and that causes the loss of money. If investors are not sure about the future they can take their investments off. And start to sell certain economical area's currency. And that thing increases inflation.  Also if a certain economic area has a negative reputation because of corruption, bad human rights, or some other reasons. That thing causes inflation. The reason for that is the companies have a hard to market the products. That produced in that area. The thing is that when companies left Russia they left their merchandise behind

One thing about pressuring researchers.

  Researchers are facing things like unsatisfying at least once in their life. There are always people who say that some research is not necessary, or there is a better place to put their money. Everything that does not support some people's way to see things. Is wasting of taxpayers' money. When some researchers are making their research for the institutions like parliaments, there is sometimes a misunderstanding that those researchers should support the political atmosphere in that country.  So that thing means that research should support the politics and political line of the members of the parliament. These kinds of things are against the purpose of research.  The research's purpose is to bring neutral and confirmed information for supporting decision-making. The purpose of research is not to support the political attitudes of people. So this is why people should understand that science and research are not democratic things. Even if we want to believe something, the e

Jamming the GPS is not as easy as people think.

Russians are told that they can jam the GPS. The war in Ukraine has shown that jamming the GPS is not as easy as people think. The communication between GPS and satellite happens with multi-channel radios. So the system uses multiple frequencies at the same time.  That's why jamming the GPS is more difficult than people expect. The data security of those systems is very important. And maybe NATO uses different GPS in exercise than in real situations. That makes jamming of those systems extremely difficult.  When people are looking at the Russian sea-launch missiles they are not very accurate. There is the possibility that small drones or special warfare teams are taking the radar transponders to targets. That thing makes targets seem brighter on the radar of the missile. And people expected Russians have those transponders. That thing can give the radar-homing missile higher accuracy. But Russians seem to have not those transponders.  The problem with HiMARS and other precision-gui

The good news; video games are improving brain activity and decision-making skills.

Video games are not a bad thing at all. They are improving their skills to make fast decisions. And they are also improving brain activity. Another positive thing with computer games is that they improve the language skills of the gamer. Those games are also improving the ability to follow rules. And those skills are needed in working life.  There is a vision that video games can also benefit the teaching and education process. There is the possibility to send the lectures to gamers by using subliminal messages. That thing means that those systems can also drive information to the head of the gamer. Computer games are one of the most complicated things on the Internet. Those things are modifying our brains and making them create new connections.  Those video games require fast decisions and flexible brain activity. But the problem is that there is no time for deep thinking. If we are thinking about the difference between shallowness of thinking and deep thinking we can use the old exam

The reality in economics is that a boom cannot last forever.

  The reality in economics is that a boom cannot last forever. And after the boom period, the downturn is inevitable. That is the law in economics. Even the largest marketing areas cannot maintain a boom forever. So the economical downturn in the EUR area should not be surprising. What sizes are the damages that the downturn causes?  That depends on how fast it is. And how long the boom continued before the downturn. If the boom continues for a long time and then the downturn is very fast the results of that thing are devastating. That thing causes lots of bankruptcies and unemployment. The bad economical situation can turn worse if there is some kind of civil disorder or some kind of suspicion of the central government's skills and abilities to keep order and control the value of currencies.  The case where inflation brings benefit is the case where inflation turns to deflation. Deflation is the anti-inflation where the value of the currency is increasing. If that thing happens so

Good and bad inflation.

Inflation is decreasing the value of the currency. Sometimes some people say that inflation makes the interest of loans negative. That means the value of the currency drops so fast that the interest of loans cannot cover the loss of the currency's value. Maybe that thing is good for somebody, but that is a bad thing for banks. The interests of loans are meant to cover the expenses of the bank.  So when the bank would not get what it calculated, that thing means that those negative interests are left as bad debt. The thing that if the private person gets to benefit from the loans of the inflation person requires the inflation adjustments for the incoming.  The problem with inflation is that it affects the prices of every product. Inflation is increasing prices. And another term for that thing is that costs of living increasing. There is the tale that little inflation is tolerated and helps economics. Of course, that thing can be true. But that requires that people have currency loan

Russia denies its dependence on western nations.

"The High Mobility Artillery Rocket System fires the Army's new guided Multiple Launch Rocket System during testing at White Sands Missile Range" (Wikipedia/M142 HiMARS). Russian propaganda claims that Russia doesn't need anybody in the world. And another thing that Russian propaganda highlights are that the Russian government can maintain a mercantilistic economy forever. In that case, the money will surround Russia, and there is no importing trade at all. When only international trade is exporting gas and oil. That thing means that the government has just income.  The fact is that. Authoritarian governments can continue force and violent policy against other countries longer than republics and democratic countries. But the fact is that sooner or later even the most authoritarian governments lose their ability to go to war. If the war machine loses lots of men and equipment. That means there is always an end. No army has an endless store of equipment and men. If ther

Somebody claims that even Putin himself doesn't trust his generals.

Image: Reddit There is claiming that there are no intelligent generals in Putin's military. Intelligent people are always threat, and Putin doesn't want threats around him. He wants people who are doing what he says when he says. And that denies the use of own brains. There is a tale in Novaya Gazeta that even Russian leaders don't trust their military. Putin's leadership style follows faithfully the same style. That was in use in the tsar and Soviet armies. The top thing in the Russian command system is political trustworthiness. That means the commanders have no right to say anything against their leaders.  That kind of attitude doesn't favor initiative people. It favors people who are not willing to take responsibility for their actions. And that is the problem with the Russian military.  And that lack of initiative actions and thinking gives a great opportunity to "yes men" whoever think themselves. The key element to earning political trustworthiness

Why Russian invasion of Ukraine was something else than it should?

Above: Antonov An-22 heavy transport aircraft plays a vital role in the Russian military. Heavy transporters' primary role is that they can carry paratroopers to capture some airfields. Then the same planes can bring tanks, artillery, and men for creating another front behind the enemy back.  The idea of this tactic is this: Russian forces are taking enemy troops between two main groups.  Then Russians would destroy their enemy by using mortars, tanks, and artillery.  Putin planned that the Russian invasion and Ukraine occupation would be a good demonstration of the skills of the modern Russian military. The invasion was planned as a short-term military action against Ukraine. And then something went wrong.  The key element in the Russian military tactics is the cooperation between tank corpses and VDV (Airborne Assault troops). The idea is that when the Russian main force attacks from the front the paratroopers attack to back of the troops and conquer some airfields. Then cargo pl

The Institute of Study of War (ISW) tells that Russia wastes its power in meaningless battles.

Su-25 "Frogfoot" Why Russians are wasting their power? The fact is that two things can explain why Russians are fighting in meaningless areas, wasting their power and causing casualties. The first thing is that the Russian military is following the original battle plan without caring about casualties. And Russians might think that some area is important to them. But Ukrainians or Western observers think that the areas have no meaning in the war.  There is the possibility that the Russian military makes its casualties on purpose. The Russian government promised over 8000 euros price for recruiting to the war. And if those soldiers die, they must not pay that money. But another reason why Russian waste its power in meaningless areas like small towns can be in defense tactics of the Ukrainian army. There is a possibility that the Ukrainian army makes "unnecessary-looking" hard resistance in the small towns and countryside. That kind of tactic when the defender wants to

Hypersonic Air-Breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) made its second successful test flight.

Image 1) "An artist's depiction of Raytheon and Northrop Grumman's Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept. (Image credit: Northrop Grumman)" (Space.com/Hypersonic air-breathing weapon concept passes 2nd flight test) The Hypersonic Air-Breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) is the scramjet-driven missile concept. The idea of that system is to develop a full-scale hypersonic cruise missile that uses a scramjet engine. The secondary objective of this project is to collect information about hypersonic aircraft that will revolutionize aviation in all sectors. The HAWC system is based on the X-51 "WaveRider" concept.  And it's more advanced and capable than AGM-183 ARRW (Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon) could be. Those futuristic Scramjet-driven drones can be the next-generation tools for sending miniature satellites to space. They can rise a "Pegasus" rocket or miniature shuttle to a ballistic jump before the orbital vehicle will start its engines.  Th

Ukraine is the graveyard of tanks, so are tanks gone forever?

The image above: German Leopard II tank (Pinterest) What is the problem with Russian tanks in Ukraine?  The main problem with Russian tanks is that they are not what they should be. Somebody might steal those tanks' electronic components because of corruption. That means the screens are carried to officers' personal computers.  There are tales that the tracks of the tanks changed to tracks, meant for civilian vehicles. Or the assemblers are not made proper work. And there is some kind of leaks in the amphibious vehicles. The problem with reactive armor is that the explosive must be changed after each hit. And if those explosive bricks are not replaced with new ones. That thing causes the hole in reactive armor.  But if we are thinking about the role of the tanks in modern warfare we must realize one thing. If the tank is not modern, equipped with modern weapons and without modern armor that thing makes it a death trap. Also if the crew doesn't handle those systems even the

Vastaamo's hacking incident is still under investigation.

The Vastaamo's hacking incident is still under investigation. That case where hackers attacked a psychotherapy company and stole a client's information remains dark. The sources are outside Europe. But the person or persons who made that attack can be Finnish. Those persons can travel to another country. Or they can have cooperatives that opened remote access to computers.  And that means those people can sit in the living room somewhere in Finland. officially, the purpose of that hacking incident was simply to blackmail money. But there is the possibility. That some "hostile actors" might want to search the names of the members of the Parliament. The fact is that also regular criminals can be interesting in powerful people's psychotherapy.  Or they can try to sell that information to the FSB or Mafia. The fact is that. Also, regular criminals can operate under the control of the FSB. And that kind of security service can blackmail people to cooperate with them. I

Hypersonic technology is the next thing in the military systems.

Image 1) The image above portrays the British reusable hypersonic system concept.  "The single-engine vehicles would be reusable. They would return after a mission"(BBC/UK studies reusable hypersonic military jet technology) The new hypersonic missiles like USAF AGM-183 and Chinese DF-21D and DF-26 ballistic anti-ship missiles are brand new technology. Today, many countries are developing this kind of weapon. The Russian Kinzhal missile is one of the first hypersonic missiles, that entered service. That rocket-engined missile must launch from a MiG-31 interceptor so that it can reach hypersonic speed.  Those missiles are made to attack their targets by using a low trajectory, which makes them more difficult to destroy than ever before. Hypersonic cruise missiles can launch from ships and aircraft.  The Chinese systems use ballistic missiles as their carriers. Those missiles shoot the hypersonic glider to ballistic trajectory. And then that glider hits to target. Most of those

Why does Putin go to war so often?

  The image above Russian Troops at Chechnya (Pinterest) There have been many wars during Putin's time during the presidency of Russia. That thing means that there is something in those wars, that bring benefit to Vladimir Putin.  Putin's era remarkable conflicts are Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, and Ukraine. The Wagner group or mercenaries played a big role in those conflicts. And that means the losses are not in the official records of the Russian army. The Wagner group allows Putin can go to war without telling that thing to an official army or even FSB about his plans.  But there is one aspect that we must realize when we are looking at wars. War is a good place to get rid of nasty people. If Putin wants to eliminate some individual people the war is a good place for that operation. If the eliminated person is a member of the Wagner group. That means nobody asks uncomfortable questions. War is the place where people are dying naturally. And mercenaries always know something tha

Why do Russian troops make people vanish in Ukraine?

FSB armored vehicle (Redditt) Vanishing is the thing that causes fear. Fear is the thing that makes people cooperate. And the purpose of fear is to make people remain silent about things that can harm somebody. The political police or secret police use this kind of method where a person just vanishes. There is no trace or evidence of their fate.  The idea of this kind of action is similar to all other secret police psychological operations. Many political or secret police organizations like Gestapo, NKVD, and DINA (Chilean security police) maximize their fear by taking their victims to arrest facilities at night time. Because those people who are making those arrests are coming at night time. That allows them to hide their identity. Because people cannot see the faces of men of the secret police, that makes those persons even more terrible.  The purpose of making people vanish is to cause fear and uncertainty. If a person is dead people believe that there is nothing that can hurt those

The problem with cheap gas and oil is that they brake the investments in new energy sources.

The main problem with the warming of the atmosphere is the use of fossil fuels. If fossil fuels or fossil energy sources are replaced, using some other energy source like hydrogen that is produced by clean energy will decrease carbon dioxide emission.  But the problem is that the new energy sources like geothermal energy, wave and tide energy, wind and solar energy require new investments. The thing that gives brakes to those investments is the cheap fossil fuel. The investments that the new energy sources require are causing the rise in the price of energy.  The Ukrainian crisis is opening the people's eyes that the Russian government can use its energy weapon against the West. That means the cheap oil and natural gas are not enticed to invest in some kind of green energy. That thing is the weapon in the hands of the deliverer of the energy source. When we are looking at history we should remember the oil crisis.  The Ukrainian situation can cause a new "oil crisis". Gas

Tony Blair said: the western dominance is over.

  Tony Blair's opinion is this: The situation in Ukraine shows that western dominance is over. That means the warm discussions between the western world and Russia are over. This is the era of the next cold And we must prepare for the long-period cold era in the relationships between the West and Russia. Some people can never go to Russia in their entire life. The reason for that is that they said something against Putin.  When we think about the process that caused this situation, we must ask one question, could we stop this thing? Did we have a chance to stop the advance in Russia that caused the war in Ukraine? Or what the Ukrainian war should teach us? Could that thing be "never trust anybody"? Or is the lesson that the Ukrainian conflict should give that the military world is constantly changing. Alliances are forming. And alliances are ending. Enemies turn to friends and friends turn to enemies.  All weapons are not killing. They are like gas and oil. Those things c

There are two remarkable things in the Ukrainian war. The war crimes and destructive firepower.

The major question is why Russia doesn't use harder language against the western weapon aid for Ukraine? The fact is that this military aid is not enough for driving Russians away from East Ukraine. But those weapon systems causes losses for Russian troops. Maybe one purpose of that operation is simply to kill some fighters who know something that Putin doesn't want people to know.  Things like the murders of Anna Politkovskaya and some oligarchs might be made by some people, which fighting in Ukraine today. Maybe those people have some kind of evidence about things that can harm even Putin himself. Or they might know something about Putin's financing systems especially before he became president.  And the comfortable solution would be for the Ukrainian army kills those people, who made dirty work for Vladimir Putin. Could the man who poisoned Boris Yeltsin be on the blacklist or kill list of Vladimir Putin?  Things like Wagner Group are meant as a tool in the hands of Puti

What kind of companies gets the benefit of the rise in the price of oil globally?

  When people are talking about the rise of the price of oil. They are talking about the rise in the price of fuel. That means the rise of the price of oil rises with the price of traveling. The companies that get benefit from that situation are the companies that are selling especially services that can replace physical traveling.  So things like data security companies might get lots of benefits from the rise of the price of oil which is the primary component in fuel that is used in cars and other vehicles. If people would get orders to use remote meetings as the primary meeting type.  That means the company must secure its communication. The thing is that the rise of the oil price will make the use of own car expensive if it burns fossil fuel. So electric trains and electric cars are getting benefit from the situation that the price of oil is high.  The rise of oil's price affects especially the price of the fuel. And if the price of natural gas that is commonly used in power pl
