The problems with automation and society

In this text, I would handle the automation mainly in the visual angle of sociology and national security. When we are thinking about the use of robots as the production, we must understand the reason, why they are so popular. Robots can make almost everything in production side better than human, and there would no need to pay salaries for the machines. Robots never make mistakes, the people who make programs for robots are making mistakes, and this is one of the worst weakness of those machines.


There is a technique called "CAM", what means "Computer Aided Manufacturing". This term means technology, where the CAD (Computer Aided Design) picture would send straight to the robots, and and then automatized manufacturing process would start. The most advanced version of CAM is 3D printing technology, what allows to make any product by using the printer, what makes 3D objects by using steel, plastic or carbon fiber.


The problem with computers is that they would not have imagined, and they would not actually think anything. This means that if there is an error in the CAD picture, what was imputed to manufacturing robots is an error and nobody notices it, would the large series of those products sour, and that would make worse for the company than any human worker ever can make. In this scenario, even millions of products could be usefulness, because some engineer has made mistake while making the picture for robots.  Those printers are very interested in military forces because they allow making military products like Drones and even heavy combat equipment like tanks in the operational area.


Those systems might also bring the very dangerous element to war because it allows making "black systems" what means airplanes and other equipment, what is not found in the inventory of military forces. And if the system can make spare parts for aircraft or tanks, could those parts used also for making complete products. But when we are thinking the problems of the automation in the social angle of view, we must understand that growing population of the human race, would need something to do. If we are thinking about "ghost factories", where is only robot workers, we are facing the problems of mass unemployment.


People need something to do, and if they would not get any work, they would start to hang in shopping centers. In the works cases, what have seen in books and some futuristic movies all workers have been replaced by robots. And in this kind of version of the production, the profits what company get is very high. Robots can work non-stop and when there is no need for production, would the lines shut down. And the company doesn't have then pay even the electric bill. But in this scenario, there would no need for the human workers, and this would mean massive social problems in the society. This scenario is the highest level of capitalism, what man can ever imagine.

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.

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

There might be an answer to why there is a gravitational hole in Earth's gravitational field.

The gravitational field at the point of the Indian Ocean is weaker than in other places on Earth. The existence of that gravitational hole is proved. But the reason why that gravitational hole is formed is unknown. The reason why the gravitational field on the Indian Ocean is weaker might be a simple thing.  There is a possible lighter rock in the mantle, or there is less material at that point. In some wildest theories, there are bubbles in magma that turn below the bottom of the Indian Ocean are less massive than in other places on Earth. The lighter material at that point should make the hole in gravitation.  "Geoid undulation in false color.
