Mathematics plays a big role in encryption algorithms.



When hackers broke the Pentagon's top-secret quantum encryption algorithm in less than an hour. We are facing one thing. People who are making algorithms are not good at mathematics. 

Theoretically, extremely long (quantum) prime numbers are effective tools for ASCII code multiplication and division. They should make the code unbreakable. 

But there is one thing that we must realize: if the prime number is easy to guess even the best of the algorithms are useless. The heart of the encryption software is the prime number generator. That prime number generator is the equation that forms prime numbers. And then the system multiplicates ASCII codes with those prime numbers. 

The equation that creates the prime number is normally the Riemann hypothesis (conjecture). If the user waits too short a time. The computer will not generate enough prime numbers. And in that case, the attacker can use brute force for breaking the code. In that case, the attacking computer just creates prime numbers. Then it just tries those prime numbers to message that operators want to break. 

There are encryption programs that use different prime numbers for each letter. And that makes encryption harder to break. But the fact is that Riemann's conjecture is at the end of its route. Faster and faster computers can make brute force attacks easier than elder computers. 

The problem with algorithms is that they must make very carefully. If there are errors in the code that algorithm will not work. And the heart of those algorithms is a mathematical formula that must make by using pinpoint accuracy. And if there are errors in that formula the entire algorithm is useless. 

Binary computers handle only numeric data. And this is the thing that makes coding the encryption algorithms very hard to make. If there are some kind of errors or the chosen formula is wrong for that purpose, the algorithm cannot protect information. If one multiplication mark turns into a division mark. That thing turns the algorithm useless. 

Also, algorithms can turn weak if the people who are using them must call things like passwords from some computer center. And those things cause a big risk that somebody can break the code simply by asking passphrase by using the telephone. 

That kind of backdoor offers the possibility. That somebody breaks the code or steals the information by using some other method than regular brute force. And if there are errors in electrical or physical protocol there is the possibility that somebody just cheats the data security team, and orders the username and password themselves.

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...
