The inflatable structures

How to find, if some company has something to do with restricted productions? This is the question when we are trying to think about the military equipment and government secrecy. One thing is simple to look about information about that company from Google, and then try to find out the connection of the products of that company to something, what is secret.

One very interesting company is the Bigelow Aerospace corporation, what we can find from Google. This company makes inflatable structures for spacecraft and one of its balloon modules have been in use at the International Space Station what is known as ISS. This thing makes us think, what kind of products this corporation makes. And the thing, what makes me think about the role of this corporation in the space program, and it's connections to other defense industry producers is that one balloon module would not make the company, what is operating with the international space station.

Then we must realize, that the corporation might have the ability to produce gas sections for very high flying airships. Those high flying airships are operating on the edge of space, and they can be manned or unmanned. Those systems can operate passively like ECHO-satellites operated in the early 1960s. But they can operate also with a very highly sophisticated electronic equipment as the civil and military communications and electronic intelligence missions.

But they can also take small space rockets to the outer atmosphere and shoot satellites to the orbiter, by using Pegasus or if those airships are bigger, they can deliver also Minotaur rockets. In fact, if those airships are the size of Hindenburg, they can be used to launch Delta rockets from airborne.

I have written about this thing many times before, but this kind of technology makes possible to create large structures, what can launch to space by using conventional rockets. Those very high flying airships have still one theoretical use. If those airships would be delivered to the orbiter by using rocket, and then it can be blown to the shape.

And that kind of thing makes possible to make extremely large structures like manned space stations to the orbiter and far away from Earth. If those light structures would cover with gold and water layer, what is between two-layer structure, will that make very good protection against radiation, that comes from the Sun. And the outer layer must be covered with carbon fiber plates and the entrance of the station goes thru the airlock, what allows to deny the lack of oxygen.

Black holes cause a virtual redshift because gravitation stretches the wavelength near them.

At the beginning of this text is a film about the redshift of black holes. Gravitation stretches light, and that means gravitation fields are pulling waves longer. That thing is called the gravitational redshift. As you can see from the film, the black hole stretches radiation and distorts the redshift. Gravitational redshift, or virtual redshift, means that a black hole might seem to be at a longer distance than it is. The film shows the redshift of the star that orbits a supermassive black hole. But all other black holes interact the same way.  The event horizon is always constant. At that point, the black hole's escaping velocity is the same as the speed of light. So every black hole interacts basically in the same way. And it's possible to apply that model to all black holes irrespective of their size.  Is gravitation the thing that forms dark energy? That thing seems somehow strange. But when photons and other particles are traveling through the ball that forms the visible

The shape of the brain means more than neuro connectivity.

Well, we might say that the brain is in its entirety. Another thing is that all things in the brain have some kind of purpose. The shape of the brain and, especially, the folding of the brain shell are extremely important things. Those folds are expanding the brain's surface areas. And the brain shell has a primary role in the thinking process. The surface area of the brain determines how large the cerebral cortex is. And in a large cerebral cortex, there are a large number of neurons. But as I just wrote, the brain is in its entirety. "Researchers have discovered that the shape of a person’s brain significantly impacts thought, feeling, and behavior, overturning the prevailing emphasis on complex neuronal connectivity. Utilizing MRI scans and the principle of eigenmodes, they found that brain function is closely linked to its geometric properties, much like how the shape of a musical instrument determines its sound, offering new avenues for exploring brain function and diseas

New nanomaterial is 4 times harder than steel. And, at the same time 5 times lighter than steel.

 New nanomaterial is 4 times harder than steel. And, at the same time 5 times lighter than steel.  The new material is the hollow glass fiber with DNA molecules inside that structure. Or as you see from the image. The glass fibers are on both sides of the DNA.  DNA molecule is the thing, that involves the genetic code of the cells. Genetically engineered cells can make DNA, and those molecules can used as the nanomaterial's structures. DNA manipulation makes it possible to create new types of extremely strong materials. And those materials are stronger than steel and lighter than it. DNA molecules can act as nano-size springs.  And in some visions, genetically engineered cyborg cells like cyborg macrophages can make extremely long DNA molecules. And then they can just use those molecules as spears that can pierce wanted cells. Or those cyborg cells can also dumb targeted cells full of the DNA that terminates them immediately.  The DNA and nanotube combinations can also act as DNA-b
