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 evidence might be something else. And that evidence might be against the attitudes of most people. 

So the results of the research might be against the things that even researchers self wants to believe. And the results of the research might be against the national interest and even against the will of the big majority. When we are talking about things like national interest and especially national security we must understand a couple of things. 

There are no perfect solutions for those things. And the short-period benefit can also turn against the nation in the long period. When people are making decisions. They should realize that the political atmosphere can change very fast. Nobody can predict what is the great majority's opinion tomorrow. 

Another thing is that we should learn to see things that are happening the day after tomorrow. Some decisions might seem perfect. But they are always causing the counter-reactions. And that means we cannot please everybody in the world. So we should select the allies that are closest to our values. And the same way we should select do we want to make short-period decisions that kick back in the distant future. And believe me, many solutions might be easy to make. But they can turn very complicated and pressuring. 

One of them is to buy energy from a nation that doesn't care about international agreements. There is the possibility that this nation uses energy to pressure its neighbors. When neighbors are not pleased leaders of that country, its energy delivery ends immediately. 

When we think about Putin's way to make international agreements. Those agreements were meant to give Russians time to develop new nuclear weapons. Things like the Novichok strikes showed, that Russia still has a stockpile of chemical weapons. 

We must understand that energy dependence is the thing that attracts the use of that thing as a blackmailing tool. When some nations can use things like energy as a weapon or pressure tools we should understand that state uses energy as that tool

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...
