The brave musicians of Titanic

Picture I

In the above picture (Picture I) is the memorial for the brave musicians, who played until the ship was lost below the waves. This is a very well-known story, what tells the brave attitude. The hymn, what those musicians played was "Nearer, my god to thee". And this story has been told many times, and I don't write any more about this ship in this text

But there is one remarkable thing, what you don't probably have not noticed. Below this chapter is one picture (Picture II), where is one of the most famous comedians in history, the Marx brothers. One member of that group Groucho Marx seems like one member of the Titanic orchestra P.C Taylor, the man in the middle of the portrait, who played piano, is looking like Groucho, but this might be the coincidence. But this coincidence is the reason, why I put these two pictures in this text.

And the thing, why I was interested in this orchestra, was the story, where is told, that the family members must pay the uniforms, what they used in that fatal journey. This thing was very interesting detail, and it is claimed to be the most heartless thing in history of peacetime sailing. And I think, that there was something strange in this story because that was not good marketing and those brave men were the mark for courage and willing sacrifice for other people.

But why those uniforms must be paid? The uniforms, what those people used were normally owned by the shipping company, and the reason for that was, that nobody could slip in the ships by using uniform of the shipping company. That's why the uniforms were owned by shipping companies and the buttons, what was marked with the logos of the company, and those buttons, what were calculated hung to the uniforms, when they were delivered to the men, who used them. The payment, what crew members must pay, was the bill for clothes, that they must return those clothes if they changed the workplace.

The new 3D printers are coin-size systems.

"The tiny device could enable a user to rapidly create customized, low-cost objects on the go, like a fastener to repair a wobbly bicycle wheel or a component for a critical medical operation. Credit: Sampson Wilcox, RLE" (Scitech, Tiny Titan: MIT’s Revolutionary Coin-Sized 3D Printer Fits in Your Pocket) Researchers created a 3D printer that is coin-size. That kind of printer can create things like microchips. But it's possible. Those tiny 3D printers can also work in extremely large-size projects. In simplest models, the 3D printers are positioned on tracks. The 3D printer itself is the tool, that can be part of the modular production systems. There are visions of high-temperature metal printers installed on the gantry cranes. That makes those crane printers that can make even ship-size things. The crane that the printer controls can move back and forth and the printer can move horizontally. This kind of thing can turn the crane into a high-temperature 3D printer, that

Quantum computers and ultra-fast photonic microchips can danger even the most secure communication.

"Quantum computers could pose a major security risk to current communication systems in 12-15 years with their exponentially greater speed and code-breaking ability. (ScitechDaily, Today’s Most-Secure Communications Threatened by Future Quantum Computers) Quantum computers can break entire binary cryptography. And that makes all communication unsecured. That is one of the greatest threats in quantum computing. And this brings the arms race to the quantum age. The quantum computer can create codes that any binary computer can break. But the quantum computer can also break old-fashioned codes. And that makes it an ultimate weapon and sabotage tool. Quantum computers can change the measurements of the ammunition in factories by changing the system calibration. Or it can delete databases from the opponent's computer systems. This thing can delete all SIM cards from mobile telephones. In peacetime, the hackers that operate using quantum systems can steal the names of the counter-

Electric power innovations. Fuel cells in aircraft and solar panels over Arizona canal.

"ZEROe teams powered on the iron pod, the future hydrogen-propulsion system designed for Airbus’ electric concept aircraft." (Intersting Engineering, Airbus's ZEROe: First engine fuel cell powers up for hydrogen flight) Electric power innovations. Fuel cells in aircraft and solar panels over Arizona canal. Airbus Zero is a testbed for fuel cells that are used in commercial aircraft. The problem with aircraft is always noise and pollution. If the aircraft uses electric engines. That decreases noise levels and cleans the air, especially around airfields. Lightweight solar panels that can be installed on the wings and body of aircraft can give electricity to electric engines. And they can extend an aircraft's operational range. The thing that makes this kind of system interesting is that the "flying cars" or cheap VTOL aircraft can use them as a power source. The hydrogen power cells can give energy to electric aircraft at night time. And that makes them m
