Science and Pandora's box


Kimmo Huosionmaa

In Greek mythology, Pandora's box is the thing, where all the bad things have been closed. When we are thinking about modern science and this tale, we must realize, that this a very interesting thing. Some people say, that we should not make things like particle accelerators, because they risk the life of humans. Or we should not investigate things like Aliens, because those things are against somebody's ideology or personal opinions.

But then we are facing another kind of truth, the thing is that thing is still exists if we are not looking at it. This means that closing some things in the box doesn't make them not existed. This is the thing, what we must realize. The asteroid can still hit to Earth, even if we would destroy all our telescopes, and there are billions of stars in our galaxy, and many other fascinating objects are still in the Universe, even if we would not find aliens. Of course, there are many people, who believe, that they can rule everything, what they want. There is one very good example of this kind of way of thinking. The thing was a YF-12 interceptor, what was the armed version of the famous SR-71 recon plane.

That project closed, and the politicians ordered also destroying that equipment, what was used for manufacturing those aircraft. They forgot one thing. This project was made under the control of Lockheed-Martin aircraft corporation, and that's why the government couldn't give any orders for the project team.  Here I must ask, why every rumor, what is told about the government or presidential position is called "theories"? And is it so impossible, that some president of the United States or some other nation would be a member of organized crime?

Why people are always so sensitive about this kind of thing?  Are they hard to understand, that somebody would tell lies in the news? This is the reason, why there is a company, what makes that kind of stuff. Also, religion is a hardcore thing in the political campaigns, and this is the reason, why vaccines and another kind of things like genomes are researched in privately owned laboratories.

Some of those laboratories are owned by CIA, and they are working in the highly secured areas. There is a theory, that some presidents of the United States wanted to go to war against the Soviet Union because the war could turn people eyes off the problems of the government. The legend begins from the civil war of the United States. One of the reason, why Confederate states lost the war was the Gatling-machine gun, what was the early version of the multi barrel machine gun.

The Gatling-gun has always similar mechanisms and the thing, what makes different with the modern Minigun and the Gatling-machine gun from the 1860s is that the first one is rotating by electric motors. Of course, the minigun doesn't need the electric motor, if they are equipped with similar gears, what are used in the bicycle. Those gears would increase the speed of the rotating in the case, that minigun is operated without the electric motor. But let's go back to that legend. The legend was, that the key politicians in the United States government wanted to deny the production of this weapon.

The theory was that Lincoln was actually the man of the confederate, and he denies the use of the effective weapons against the Confederate soldiers. This rumor has been base-element in many other rumors and theories, that some presidents of the United States have been sometimes Nazi-agents or Soviet spies. And they have prohibited the production of the combat aircraft and Sherman tanks. But the legend tells, that there was a top-secret military research group code-named "omega", what mission is to create the most sophisticated military equipment. This thing is also a theory or rumor, and here I must wonder again, why rumors are called theories? Why some people are so blue-eyed, that they believe, that nobody ever lies.

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...
