Thoughts about the old milestone and old road in Espoo (Life is a road, I want to keep going)


The old milestone

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Many memories are connected to scenes or landscapes. And there are many marks about how the advancing of the city and growing population changes the area and the lines of the roads, but there are still marks from the past times when the cars were smaller and driving speed was lower. Above the text is a picture of the old milestone, what is at the side of the old footpath in the city of Espoo. Of course, that milestone can be carried that place from somewhere else, but maybe that brought some thoughts about chance in my mind. And writing is the nice hobby, and I would like to tell those thoughts to you.


That kind of milestones are not made anymore, or they are on the side of bigger roads, and this picture remains, that in the past the roads were quite different than today. Today this old road does not even have the snow plow in winter time, and it tells something, how the road lines are changed in history. In the past, this road had some kind of meaning because there is a milestone, but then everything changed, and today the line of the main road is in the different place.

But that milestone remembers us, what kind of people lived in here near the capital in a couple of decades ago. The main roads were quite smaller than today, and this footpath is now only the memory from the times, where there were many agricultural fields. But then the price of the ground was raised, and that meant the farmers moved away and sold their farms to the city or building companies.


That meant the end of the agriculture here, near the capital of Finland, but there are many memories about those times, like straight ditches, what are still marking the places of the fields, even this area is now full of trees, and it's now forest area. But in the bottom of the forest is very easy to see the lines of ditches, what is filled with water in autumns and springs. This tells how long those marks of farms are staying in nature.

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...
