Beware of social media, and remember that everything you see is not true




Kimmo Huosionmaa

When we are talking about social media and the use of it as the propaganda platform, we must say that modern technology allows making very trustable propaganda in the very low budget. The open source rendering platforms allow to create the animated films, where are characters, what looks absolutely real. Those photorealistic characters are allowed to make the realistic propaganda animation, what cannot separate from real news film.


Also, the use of social media allows making profiles of the persons, what are meant to target for propaganda. That means the propagandists can make propaganda, what is more, attractive and influential for targeted persons than ever before.


Social media is the very good weapon in the hands of propaganda makers because that media can be used in targeted propaganda, what is meant for children of the leaders, who are working for police and military. And of course, also criminal organizations would use social media in their recruiting campaigns, what is targeted to younger members of police and military. In those campaigns, those organizations claim, that they are only victims of the system, and the law enforcement only takes them as the targets of the use of force. And of course, drugs and doping are all right in that propaganda.


But the way to look like social media is that would give the information of the things like actions in some elections. Here I must ask does anybody tell us about the electoral fraud of Russian elections, or would the world be quiet about this kind of things? Silence is the very good way to keep undemocratic forces in power. And social media is also brought many things in publicity, what has been kept in silence.


And when we are talking about censorship, we would not want that thing. Social media has brought the attitude problems of some officials to public knowledge. Also the thing, those undemocratic forces are found also in so-called paradigm democracies. And what we have learned by social media is, that many things, what we are known as the truth, has more aspects than we ever couldn't expect.


The social media has shown that any media is not absolute neutral or all reporters are not standing behind the truth. That kind of reporters have supported the dictatorial governments, and an example the most important supporters of Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler were journalists, who wrote the supporting propaganda for those dictators. They made articles, what justified persecution of political enemies of those dictators. This is an aspect, what we must understand, while we are investigated media.

Use virtual "perpetual motion machines" and seawater as energy sources.

   Use virtual "perpetual motion machines"  and seawater as energy sources.  The Archimedean screw can offer almost endless energy sources.  "Robert Fludd's 1618 "water screw" perpetual motion machine from a 1660 wood engraving. It is widely credited as the first attempt to describe such a device." (Wikipedia/Perpetual motion) The term "virtual perpetual motion machine" means a machine. That pulls water to the upper tank using a capillary tube. Then that water will fall through the generator or turbine wheel. The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a "perpetual motion machine", that is impossible because of laws of thermodynamics.  The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a " real perpetual motion machine", which is impossible because of the laws of thermodynamics.  The real perpetual motion machines don't use outside energy. And that's why they are not possible.

Will humans survive the sun's red giant stage?

"As the Sun matures into a Red Giant, the oceans will boil and Earth will become uninhabitable." (The Conversation, The sun won’t die for 5 billion years, so why do humans have only 1 billion years left on Earth?) Sooner or later, all stars use their hydrogen. And then they turn into red giants. Sun is a yellow G spectral class star that turns into a white dwarf. But before that, the sun will turn larger.  The sun turns red and that means. It starts to send more infrared radiation. This thing will turn Earth into a hellish temperature that vaporizes water from Earth.  It's possible. That Earth will also vaporize with Venus and Mercury. Some scientists say that we have only 1 billion years to move farther in the solar system. The habitable zone will go to the distance of Jupiter and Saturn, and maybe humans find a safe place in those distant moons.  It's possible that before Sun will grow too large humans make large groups of mirror satellites or large shields that sho

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.  An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru
