New research claims that Russian Twitter campaigns in 2016 didn't change voting behavior.



The Russian trolling campaigns have one problem. Makers of those campaigns believe in the authority and selfish ideology. So those campaigns are telling ideology, that is against the values of most Western people. Or those values against the ideology of Western social media users. Another thing that decreases the effectiveness of Russian trolling campaigns is that people know more about Russian and Russian internal affairs than in the past.  

The third thing that is is decreasing the effect of Russian troll campaigns is that people afraid that somebody will target them for cheating and trolls. If people are afraid to join those groups where propaganda- or information operations happen. Delivered information would not reach their targets.

We know that many people are afraid of trolls and other kinds of things. And we are all faced with cheating and trolling. The Russian trolls are operating under the control of the Russian government. And they sometimes use very bad language and terms like "bitch" about their targets. So, those words might seem funny, but they belong to some child's mouth. 

The thing is that criticizing Russian trolls is prohibited in Russia. The Russian government also uses trolls in the internal political area. If somebody doesn't believe Putin. And shows loyalty to the Russian government, that thing causes a very bad situation for a person who dares to talk against the government. The person who doesn't support the Russian government and the Ukraine war is automatically a Western agent. 

The difference between Western and Russian culture is that Western people are more critical than Russian people. The key element in Russian ideology is that "government's leaders are wise men, who are above the society". That is why nobody should review those people. The role of regular citizens is just to obey their leaders. If somebody is against their leaders that means discrimination, and that happens immediately.

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...

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...
