There are many layers in the Kalevala.


Leaving of Vainamoinen
Akseli Gallen-Kallela
(C.1893-1894)


Kimmo Huosionmaa

The symbolism of Finland national epos Kalevala has many layers, and there would not be possible to make one conclusion or analyzes of that book. In the painting above the text is the idea, what people might always see. In this picture the hero of Kalevala, Vainamoinen leaves his community by flying boat. There is more well known painting about this same theme, but this painting is made with watercolor, and it is also made by Akseli Gallen-Kallela. In this portrait, the Vainamoinen would be like the young boy, who gets his first car. The car feels like some kind of spacecraft or something else like it.


Every young man wants own car, and when the person would begin first time to drive that vehicle, it would feel like driving the spacecraft. The starting of the engine would be like using ion motors in some fictional spacecraft. And in this picture seems like Vainamoinen is using some kind of UFO to leaving the place, where this man has stayed.


This watercolor painting is not the same thing as the well-known aquarelle, and in this watercolor work, the left of the community would be looking like little bit different way. In this painting might be a man, who finally made his services for community end, and this thing caused the situation, that everything felt so light. The flying boat, what hangs on the top of the smoke would be the opportunity to begin own life without debts.

The moan of the sail
Akseli Gallen-Kallela
(1907)


When Vainamoinen was accomplished his mission, would the next adventures wait for that man, and this is also the death of this person. In the campfire would that man, who can be some engineer, who was in the long-term project and hired to help the villagers, finishes his job. And this is the end of his services. After this, the villagers must hire another wise man for projects.


In the Kalevala same texts symbolizes many things. One could be some kind of building project. In the beginning is the idea of the project. And then the project would continue. There would be fighting against the time, but then there would be painting, where is the wreck of the boat. This project would continue to the point, that the wrecks will be collected from the building area. And at least the crew of the project would leave the site. Those people were well-known characters in that area, and then their mission is accomplished. Some of them would stay in people mind longer than others, and we must say that there are many things in Kalevala, what will make it one of the unique and fascinated books in the world.

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
