Peto's paradox: why whales don't get cancer?

  

 Peto's paradox: why whales don't get cancer?

There is introduced an idea in the Cosmos Magazine. That the rapidly evolving genes cause that whales can't get cancer. But also water is protecting them against UV and other electromagnetic radiation as well as alpha and beta radiation. So maybe lack of natural EM- radiation causes that whales don't get cancer.

Whales are enormous animals. They live a long life. Also, whales carry lots of fat. And the new thing that makes those great animals interesting is that whales have no genetic mutations. 

And they don't have cancer. The genomes of the whales have less mutated than other animals. So what is the thing that makes whales so wealthy if we are thinking about cancer? 

One of the things that can save whales from cancer is that water protects them the natural radiation. Water absorbs radioactive radiation better than air. And good senses may be protected whales also against poisons like carcinogens. There is a possibility that the poisons like PCB and some carcinogens are making fish so bad smelling that whales can avoid them. 

And water is protecting them against UV radiation. But the genomes that are protecting whales against cancer are also mapped. If we are thinking about the cure for cancer theoretically is possible to create vaccines. Those are protecting us against the changes of the cells. But without knowledge of the forming of cancer is impossible to search for the changes in the protein layer. 

Those membrane proteins of the cells are the thing that the immune system uses for finding those cells. But making that kind of vision is a very challenging thing. The thing is that when the cell is turning into a cancer cell. There must be some changes also in its surface proteins. The reason is that. When the DNA of the cell is damaged. It cannot control the production of the surface molecules of the cells. 

That damage in genomes has an effect on other things than just the ability to die or split. The DNA controls every single action in the cells. The core proteins of the cells are extremely complicated. And if there are damages in the DNA. That causes changes also in the structures of the proteins of the cells. Those anomalies can use to track and destroy cancer cells by benefiting own immune cells of the people.

There are many problems with self-driving car

Computer programs what are controlling the self-driving car are very complicated. And those vehicles are under development, and there is always the driver when those vehicles are operating in some area. Uber has made lots of work about the security of their autonomous driving taxis. And this was the sad accident for that pedestrian.  If there is a single error in a program, the computer cannot control the vehicle. The results would be terrible and sad because the car would kill somebody.


But that kind of news is causing terrible thoughts in my mind. If somebody wants to make murder by using the car as the weapon, might this person able to make the computer program what makes the car as an invincible weapon. And when the normal taxi drives on the road, it would suddenly turn and hit some person.


This is the problem with the self-driving cars. If somebody wants to hurt some innocent persons,  he might just change those car’s controlling program. And the results would be devastating. Also, somebody would want to make assassinations with autonomous vehicles, by connecting their controlling program the thing, what is called as “ghost protocol”. In this scenario, somebody would make the car a terrible assassination weapon. And then the strike is done, would that program terminate itself.


The “ghost protocol” means that in the controlling software would be injected the code, what reacts, when the targeted person is visible. That code makes the car attack to that targeted person. In normal drive, those self-driving cars seem like harmless, but when they would notice the target, that would begin the attack against that victim. The computer of the car would get the image of the targeted person or another vehicle, and then this car would transform real life “Christine”.
