Researchers are unveiling the mystery of the time arrow.

Time is an interesting thing. It's the thing that dominates our life. When we want to describe time, we can see describe it as the thing that is between two points, that are in two different moments. Time can also describe as that thing that started in the Big Bang.  Time is the change of the universe. And when the universe reaches stable form, time ends. So time is the change in atoms and subatomic particles. It started during the Big Bang, And the cooling universe is one of the things, that we can use as a description of time. When all energy is gone time ends.  Cosmic inflation is the thing that causes the particles of material are turning to wave motion. And when the last electron and quark are turned to wave motion, the universe reaches its stable form, and that is the end of time. That requires that the universe is open and dark energy pushes it larger and larger. And in the open universe, the expansion continues forever.  We know that the energy level of the particle is dire

The Meissner effect is the superconducting levitation.

The reason for the Meissner effect where the superconducting object hovers above the superconducting layer is one of the so-called quantum miracles. The reason for that effect is that gas and energy flow through the object. And that causes the low-pressure area above the object. The temperature of the superconducting layer is extremely low. That means energy flows from the upper side of the levitating object to the superconducting layer. And that thing rises the object above the low-temperature layer levitating.  The problem with this kind of levitation is that it requires the layer that is turned into superconducting. And that thing puts limits on the use of the Meissner effect. Normally that thing requires things like magnetic railways for working. But there is made research using Bose-Einstein condensate to make levitation systems that are not needed static magnets or special layers. The powder form superconductors are making it possible to create layer-free solutions for the system

The quantum heat pump can theoretically detect dark matter.

That system is based on the idea of two superconducting circuits with different energy levels. And different frequencies. In that image, they are marked with red and blue colors.  The red one has a higher energy lev

The main problem with nanomachines is: how to make parts for them.

Biological nanomachines are genetically engineered bacteria. The problem with organic nanorobots is that they have the same limits as bacteria. Normally in nanotechnology bacteria's ability to make descendants is terminated. There is only DNA plasmid in the core of those bacteria.  The purpose of the DNA plasmid is to control the functions of bacteria. But the main DNA is removed. That means bacteria cannot make descendants. And it makes bacteria easier to control.  The non-biological nanomachines are necessary tools in highly toxic and radiation environments. Their operational area is larger than genetically engineered bacteria. Those non-organic or non-biological systems can operate at a high level of radiation and higher temperatures than bacteria. But making large numbers of those machines is difficult.  Nanomachines are impressive tools. But the biggest problem is how to make those extremely small machines work right. There are billions of points where nanorobots are useful, b

Why do photons have no mass?

When we are looking at the two forms of light, particles and wave motion we can try to find the answer to the strange abilities of the photon. There is the possibility that when a photon stretches to wave motion or superstring it turns flat. So when a photon hits particles its impact area is so small, that it cannot cause enough large-size impact area.  The situation is similar to when a bullet hits the house. That bullet cannot destroy or affect all houses because the impact area is so small. So the bullet makes a small hole in that house.  Same way when a flat photon or superstring travels in space. And impacts material. There is the possibility that it just pushes the quantum field around particles away. The idea is that the particle's quantum field is not a uniform structure. The quantum fields around particles are a series of superstrings or quantum lightning that is forming a structure that looks like a whisk.  The force of that quantum lightning or quantum strings can be uni

The artificial embryos are opening new visions for biotechnology.

  The artificial mice embryos were "real" embryos, not clones. They were made by connecting the chromosomes of two mice. And that makes this thing very interesting. When we are thinking about this method from the point of view of artificial evolution, that thing opens a road to more versatile things than just cloning.  Artificial embryos are making it possible to create tailored people. The parents or DNA deliverers of those embryos can be selected very carefully. Also, nanotechnology can change the sequences of DNA. And researchers can change things like skin color and gender.  The ability to connect genomes and put them in the stem cells is making it possible to create new animals and even humans by using the genomes that are taken from the DNA samples. In some theories, mysterious UFO abductions are made for collecting DNA from extraordinary people. DNA can use to solve what kind of genomes are making people intelligent can be solved from that data.  This new technology do

What does somebody do with information about how a hawk homes its prey from the chaotic swarm?

"Composite frame sequence of a Swainson’s hawk attacking swarming Mexican free-tailed bats at a bat cave in New Mexico, USA. The white lines connect the hawk to the bat that it captures, and remain parallel over time showing that the bat remains on a constant bearing. Credit: Caroline Brighton (Oxford Flight Group)"(Phys.com/ Study reveals how hunting hawks home in on prey inside a chaotic swarm) Many swarming animals, such as insects and birds, use chaos as a shelter. Chaos makes it harder for a predator to pick a single bird or insect from that chaotic flock. Information about how animals such as hawks or dragonflies select targets and attack them makes it possible to create algorithms that are used to select the main movers from a flock of drones. The prime mover is the drone that goes first. And the secondary drone is the backup tool. That mission is to observe the prime movers. They are forming two- or more-stage hierarchical systems that can make their mission waves.  F

Scientists created synthetic mouse embryos by using stem cells.

"Natural and synthetic embryos side by side with heart and head folds stained in color. Credit: Courtesy of M. Zernicka-Goetz" (ScitechDaily.com/https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-grow-synthetic-mouse-embryo-with-brain-and-beating-heart-from-stem-cells/) Those synthetic embryos are the most fundamental things in biotechnology ever created. Those embryos had hearts and brains. So this kind of cloning technology can use for creating neurons for people whose brain is injured.  The problem with those neurons is that their memories are gone when they are destroyed. But even the existence of the "spare part" neurons makes it possible to avoid physical damage to the brain structures.  Same way as scientists can clone mice by using stem cells. They can clone humans or any other mammal. Stem cell technology can be the biotechnology of the future.  There is the possibility that before humans are born researchers take a couple of stem cells from each embryo for cryogenic stor

A photon trap is a perfect tool for sensors.

"Researchers built a “light trap” around a thin layer using mirrors and lenses, in which the light beam is steered in a circle and then superimposed on itself – exactly in such a way that the beam of light blocks itself and can no longer leave the system". (ScitechDaily.com/A Perfect Trap for Light – Allows Light To Be Absorbed Perfectly in Photosynthesis and Photovoltaics) A photon trap is a perfect tool for sensors. But they can also use to create energy to ignite a fusion reactor without fission. The idea is that the photon trap collects energy from the sun. And then that temperature ignites the fusion fuel.  A photon trap is a chamber where light is trapped inside it. Then that light or photons are jumping between mirrors of that chamber. This thing makes the photon trap the perfect tool for the sensors. When outcoming energy hits those trapped photons. That thing increases their energy. The photon traps can also use in ecological fusion or some other kinds of research. W

Lockheed -Martin "Helios"-naval laser system enters service.

The new tool for military systems is lasers. The Helios-type laser systems are offering ultimate defensive and offensive systems. Laser weapons with adjustable power can use for laser communication, laser eavesdropping, and spectrographic intelligence tools. In the last case, the laser will stress the target's atoms. And spectrometer can detect elements that are used for that target. The difference between those systems is the power of the laser rays.  The laser weapons can also shoot ground targets over hills by using very simple methods. The quadcopter will just rise the mirror above the area and that mirror will use to aim a laser ray at the ground target. So the Helios-type systems can also use to destroy ammunition and individual targets on the battlefield. The main problem with regular mirrors is that the glass layer at the front of the reflecting layer absorbs laser radiation. And that thing broke the mirror. But new technology allows for the creation of mirrors, where extre

Liver disease is linked 38% higher risk of dementia.

The FDA accepted new medications for Alzheimer's. And the research is advancing very fast. The name of the medicine is in the top link below this text.  Accumulating toxins can cause the immune cells can attack neurons.  When certain toxins are accumulating in cells there is the possibility that their membrane proteins are changing.  Or otherwise, there will be some strange chemical compounds in the core of those neurons. And if the immune cell misses the neuron or their support cell and destroys those vital cells.  The liver is a very important organ. That organ removes toxic material from our bodies. And that thing can explain why liver disease causes dementia. When toxic waste of the cell metabolism will start to pile up in our body those products of metabolism also get access to our brains and neurons.  When toxic chemicals are starting to pile up in the brain neurons are meant to stay the entire life. There is a big risk that those neurons will be destroyed. This is the reason

Scientists try to explain or model dark energy.

Dark energy is energy that rips the universe into pieces. That thing means that there is too much energy in the universe. So is it possible that some particles are "shining too bright?". That thing causes the wave motion called dark energy kicks particles away from each other.  Einstein's theory of gravitation and gravitation lensing exists. So things like dark energy don't mean that the entire gravitational theory is wrong.  But there might be some parts of that theory, that require some kind of rethink. Or maybe there is one thing that even Albert Einstein himself didn't recognize.  That thing is that gravitational lensing accelerates the photon. Or actually, the gravitational field accelerates a photon when the photon travels to the gravitational center. And when a photon travels away from the gravitational field's center its speed slows. That means the speed of photons is not the same all the time.  When photons hit to planet's atmosphere, their speed

Why do we all have an individual way see things?

The idea of the ultimate reality that is the same for everybody is a myth. The reality is different for everybody in the world. How we see things depends on the experiences that we have. The same thing that might mean funny and pleasure to some people might be very traumatic for some other people. We know that things like festivals and concerts are meant to be places, where everybody has fun.  But some negative experiences can cause that person ever go to those places. The fact is that feelings are in dominating role in the way to see things. The fact is that if the person has some kind of difference in the nervous system or senses that can cause that person to see the world differently than others. So when we are thinking of observation, we must realize that memories have a big influence to things how we are seeing things.  This thing should show that people are individuals. We might see things differently than other people. We might have an allergy that makes something like a chocola

The principle of superconductivity is easy to understand.

Metals and some other materials are turning superconductive in low temperatures. The superconductivity is the result of the lack of oscillation of the object. And that thing makes objects superconducting. There is also a second way to make an object superconducting.  That thing is increased pressure. And an extremely high pressure ends the oscillation in metal. The problem is that the needed pressure is over 20 thousand times the atmosphere. And if there is a lean in the system that can cause a dangerous situation. The combination of low temperature and high pressure can make it possible to create superconductors that are operating at higher temperatures than ever before.  The third way is to use plasma or a magnetic field that is pushing the wires as normal pressure does. In that case, the magnetic fields are making it possible to create superconducting at room temperature.  ***************************************************************** The thing that makes the object superconducti

The first-time robot learned to imagine itself.

For the first time in history, a robot imagined itself. It looked at itself from mirrors and made a copy of itself.  Of course, robots could make copies of themselves by using CAD drawings, stored inside their memories. But the ability to imagine themselves is fundamental.  The ability to imagine themselves without the 3D images makes it possible that robot can fix their damages autonomously. That thing is necessary when the robot is operating in areas where they need to be extremely independent.  The ability to imagine themself will work with the 3D models of the robot's surface layer and its system. The image tells what the structure should look like. And the cameras and other sensors are telling the real situation. The robot's core can contain sensors that are observing what its skeleton and hydraulics are looking like. And if there is some kind of warp or other damage.  The inner core of the robot can have sensors that are observing the condition of its inner structure. Tho

Research uncovered that people with similar faces have similar genomes.

Image: ScitechDaily.com/Characterizing Human Beings on a Molecular Level: People With Similar Faces Likely Have Similar DNA) There was an article today in ScitechDaily.com. It had a highlight: "Characterizing Human Beings on a Molecular Level: People With Similar Faces Likely Have Similar DNA". Genome researchers are uncovered that the DNA is similar between people who have similar faces. But that kind of research can also use to make models of human faces. In databases are stored the shapes of the faces.  And the DNA that forms the nose and other details can uncover. By connecting the DNA models the AI can create the image of the person.  In the future, the computer can make the model the faces of humans by using the DNA sample. In the same way, the AI can make the model of human fingerprints by using the DNA image.  Researchers confirmed that DNA between two persons with identical faces is also similar. So that thing tells that face recognition can use to search for family

Nanotechnology and drones are effective tools for field medical research.

Drones can carry X-Ray transmitters and receivers. The system can work that way that the 2-8 drones are flying around the target. The receiver must be on the opposite side of the target. That allows making X-ray research for natural animals without trapping them.  Drones and artificial intelligence allows also make even PET scannings for insect-size natural animals without the need to trap them. And the same systems can also use for research on humans who might be injured.  The fact is that nanotechnology and drones allow us to make even radiological research on the insect's nervous system and body in a natural environment. The system can be artificial intelligence-controlled drones that can have nanotechnology-based injectors. That injector injects things like the I-131 isotope into the insect's body.  And then extremely small sensors can detect how the radioactive isotope travels in the insect's body. The system can use miniaturized sensor chips that are like dust. Those

Researchers found out how flies' brains respond to tastes.

"A new imaging technique called trans-Tango(activity), developed by researchers with the Brown's Carney Institute for Brain Science, reveals how specific neurons in brain circuits of fruit flies respond to stimuli such as sweet and bitter tastes. Credit: Gilad Barnea". (Phys.org/Using new technique, researchers make surprising discoveries about how flies' brains respond to tastes) New miniature systems called "trans-Tango" open a view of the insects' brain activity. That system can observe the activity of individual neurons. That can revolutionize neurology. This kind of system can collect information on how the insects find their food.  And how they observe predators. Maybe quite soon, those systems can install in drones, controlled by artificial intelligence. So they can observe insects in their natural environment. That kind of information can use to create a new type of insect repellent.  But the information on how the insect's brains work can gi

A new study tells where memories are stored.

The study shed new light on the process of memory recall. (ScitechDaily.com/Broad Implications: New Study Reveals Where Memory Fragments Are Stored) A new study solved where memory fragments locate in the human brain. This kind of study can help to create technology that can help to minimize brain damage. The problem with brain cells is that when they have been destroyed. The memory fragments of those cells are destroyed.  And that thing makes replacing damaged neural tissue difficult. Another study has solved how brain cells are forming. In animal brains the brain neurons that are formed together wed distinct connectivity and activity throughout the animals’ adult lives.  That thing means, that the neurons are born in pairs keeping in touch their entire life. The neurons are formed in pairs because there should be an odd number of neurons in the brain. That thing eliminates the possibility that there is the same number of neurons in the case the brain must decide something. If every s

The "silent mutations" are not harmless.

The reason why some mutations are silent is simple. Cells read the DNA sequence, where the silent mutation locates seldom.  And those DNA sequences control the development of neurons and the nervous system. There is no junk DNA in human genomes. So every genetic abnormal is dangerous.  When people are talking about things like "silent mutations" they should understand that the thing that makes mutation silent is that its location is in the DNA sequences that are not read very often. If the cells don't read the DNA sequences very often that means they don't need that data very often. So what that kind of data is? Those DNA sequences that are read seldom involve information that is needed for cells that are splitting very seldom.  So those "silent mutations" are in the areas where is information. That controls the development of the nervous system. And that kind of mutation involves the greatest risks. The error in the genetic code that controls the developmen

Photon rings around black holes part II.

The inner shadow of the photon rings could tell that there is some kind of radiation that pushes the photon ring away from the event horizon. So is that inner shadow the result of the Hawking radiation? Or is it an even more exotic thing?  Can that inner shadow tell the wavelength of the radiation turns so short that radiation that falls in the black hole is invisible? There is the possibility that the black hole can pull that radiation straight. But if there is wave motion that is coming from the black hole. That thing can form short-living virtual particles.  There is the possibility, that those short-living particles are the source of dark energy. When photons are orbiting a black hole they are interacting with their environment. Those photons are collecting things like gravitational energy and resend that wave motion around the universe. That dark shadow means that there is the possibility that the photon itself can be the hypothetical graviton.  There is the possibility that aroun

Photon rings around black holes can help to detect gravitational waves or even dark matter.

There is a photon ring around black holes. That photon ring is an example of the energy level and the force of the gravitation of black holes. That photon ring is one of the things that is predicted but the evidence of those photons that are orbiting black holes is not confirmed yet. That photon ring is one of the things that is making black holes invisible.  The photon that orbits a black hole precisely at the point of the event horizon can act as a tensor between the world inside the singularity and outside it. So the photon that is orbiting a black hole just at the point of the event horizon can conduct energy away from the black hole. By using two-way quantum entanglement. But the photon will not necessarily require quantum entanglement for conducting energy away from the black hole. The photon can stretch by massive gravitation if another side of the photon is inside and the other is an outside event horizon. That photon acts like an antenna, that conducts energy out from a black

Supermassive black holes are forming and ripping galaxies.

  Image: NASA The supermassive black holes are forming galaxies. But they also push material away from them. The interaction between black holes and their environment is more complicated than people think. When a black hole pulls material inside it the energy level of the material rises to an extremely high level. Part of that material travels to the poles of the black hole and impacts together.  That thing causes very high power X- and gamma ray beams that are leaving from black holes or at least near that thing. When those radiation pikes hit the material cloud around the black hole it makes the material shine. That shine means that the plasma that forms the main part of the galaxy is sending radiation.  What is the difference between interstellar and interplanetary nebulas? One description is that there are heavier elements like silicon and iron in the interplanetary nebulas.  Interplanetary nebulas are the supernova remnants. And interstellar nebulas are mainly hydrogen and other l

Does time exist?

In some models, time is like some kind of wave motion. Everything that we see happened in the past. So if time is wave motion or some kind of river. That explains why we can see only the past. If we think that the energy level in the past is higher than future. We have a hard-to-send wave motion against that flow.  If we are raising our energy levels we will make the difference in those two energy levels smaller. And that makes the river of time move slower. So if we want to see to future we must make energy level of some point in future higher than the point where we are.  The reason, why we see things that happened in the past is that the energy level in the past was higher than it's now and future. Even a microsecond and shorter time units are time. So what would we need to do that we could see to the future? The answer is that we must send wave motion against the flow of that river.  And that means we must make two points at two different times. And then we must make informatio

How to control hovering C^60 balls?

Above this text, you can see a cloud. Cloud is the entirety of the water droplets. The rising air keeps those tiny droplets airborne simply by forming the lower pressure area above them. This thing makes water droplets hover.  So if the speed of rising gas is high enough. Even large objects can rise over the ground. The combination of the high pressure below the object and low pressure above it pulls also dust and ash airborne.  But there is also another way to make objects like fullerene balls hover. That thing is the energy stress that impacts those molecules. If the fullerene molecule turns hot enough that thermal radiation makes it hover. Image 2 is the fullerene where is trapped a water molecule inside it.  The single water molecule has the quantum state that makes it polar. The polar molecules affect magnetic fields. So the heat can put fullerene molecule hover.  XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Could the Roman dodecahedron be some kind of communication syst

The shape of the fusion reactor meant something.

Image 1) When we are thinking about ion fusion, where ions with plus and minus polarities are impacting together, we must realize that there is one problem. If all ions have the same polarity. They are repelling each other. So the magnetic field must push those ions together. And then an ignition laser will pull those ions together. If we will inject the different polar ions into the Tokamak reactor that magnetic field will pull another ion cloud to the walls of the accelerators.  The system can use a similar structure to NIF (National Ignition Facility). In the middle of the ball, the system sprays a cloud of positive ions. Then magnets start to press that positive ion cloud. And after that, the negative ions will shoot to that chamber by using a particle accelerator. The beam of negative ions will impact that glimpse of positive ions. And the laser rays will increase the energy of that system until fusion starts.  The Images in the diagram above are 1) Traditional Tokamak 2) Tokamak

Mass, energy, and photons.

Nothing else can reach the same speed as photons. Photon is a particle that seems to have no mass. But as I wrote many times before photons should have mass. The reason for that is that without mass photons cannot transport energy. And without this ability lasers and other things will not work.  Ernst Rutherford said once that "certainly photon must have mass". But nobody measures that mass yet. In some theories the photon is only so "hairy" or its quantum field "shines" that photon flows away from other particles.   So, could the answer for that be found in the photon's ability to be at the same time wave motion and particle? There is the theory that a photon is "flat" when it travels in space. That flat form would be the result of tunneling. That means the photon is very close to the thing called the superstring. And if the photon is like tape when it hits the medium wall that means the impact area of energy is so small that it's hard t

Researchers created quantum entanglement between two quantum systems at a 12,5 km distance.

Researchers created quantum entanglement between two quantum systems at a 12,5 km distance. The ability to exchange information between two memory systems is the base requirement for communication. When two persons are talking to each other they are exchanging information. Or otherwise, we can say that their brains exchange information. And the human brain is one version of the memory system. When we are discussing, we share information. Sharing information requires certain protocols. And one of those protocols is biz talk. Another system that can be human or computer asks permission to use another system's databases.  When an elder person gives pieces of advice the situation is the same as when a server offers a client access to its databases. In both cases, systems offer a path to information, stored in their memories. So when another person offers pieces of advice that means the person offers information to another person.  During that process, we are transferring information th

The mystery of graviton-particle again... (Could that particle be the tensor between quark and gluon? Or is it some particle that we already know?)

The mystery of graviton-particle again... (Could that particle be the tensor between quark and gluon? Or is it some particle that we already know?) Graviton is the hypothetical transmitting particle of gravitation. That particle would be the source of the gravitational waves. Gravitation is wave motion that behaves like other types of wave motion. And that means graviton is the particle state of gravitation. And wave-particle duality means that the gravitation can turn to wave motion.  Otherwise, wave motion can turn into a particle. But another thing is that gravitation is also energy. This should make theoretical anti-gravitation possible. But, I will return to that topic in chapter 2B.   So there should be a source for the gravitational waves. But is the particle that sends gravitational waves particle, a virtual particle, or something that we already know, but didn't realize connect with gravitation?   The name of the graviton is given to the source of gravitational waves. Ther
