Twin investigations and ethical questions about it

Assassinators are marginal persons, who live in the world, where nobody normal person would even want to live. I'm seen many movies and trailers in my life, and sometimes I have imagined, that could some of those stories be true. When we are talking about the stories, what are written by men like David Morrell, there might be organizations, what have skills and capacity to train those persons. And of course, there would be the very marginal thing about this kind of hypothetical cases. When we are thinking about movies, we would sometimes say, that "something happens only in the movies", but at the same time we forget, that also real world "bad guys" are watching television, and they would take influences from movies. And movies might give them ideas for their actions.


In this case, some organization would make the thing, what has been introduced in the movie "The mark of Cain". But I have thought that maybe some organization would use the situation, that they would take identical twins, who are crown separately, and train both of them working as an assassin. In this case, there would always be a person, who makes the alibi for another assassin. This kind of things bring my mind the things, what are not many times mentioned. The genetic investigations, what is consisted the thing called "twin investigations", where identically twins who are grown separately without knowledge of the twin brother or sister existence are very fascinating, but there is always thoughts and question about the reason, why some twins were separated just after their birth? Was the separation happened because of this kind of investigation?


The twin investigations were in the primary role when scientists found out, what skills and qualities are heritable and what is learned. And if this kind of investigations is wanted to be trusted, must the investigator use twins, who are grown separate places without knowledge or contact with another twin. Here we must another question about this kind of things. That goes like this: how the scientists tracked those twins? And how those twins were separated? Of course, modern genetic investigation makes possible to find out, are some persons actually twins, but then we must ask, how the tracking happened before modern genetic investigations? And the last thought about this thing is, did somebody separated those twins because of those investigations? If the reason for separation would be that kind of investigation, there would be very big moral problems with that kind of actions.


The twins are a fascinating object for scientists, who are working with genome investigation. But there would be many questions with about this kind of science. We can make artificial twins very easily by sharing the embryos in pieces, and this kind of thing allows us to make more advanced and more unethical investigations with that kind of thing. In some scenarios, another embryo would be freezing in liquid nitrogen to minus 189 Celsius. In this cryogenic condition, the molecular movements are ending. And those cells would not get older. And in this scenario, some scientific mastermind would make the experiment, that another twin would be live all the life, and then after this, another twin would be let to born. This allows the investigators make very good observations about the genetics and twins.


But when we are thinking about ethics and morale. How moralistic is to give another twin different kind of conditions than another twin? What if somebody misuses that investigation in the assassin training? Of course, the motivation for that kind of actions can be done by murdering another twin, and after that, another part of this hypothetical experiment was called to training, by saying " we found your twin brother, but he is dead by the terrorist attack". Those persons can play the role of the scientists, who are investigating genomes. And then they might claim that they found this lost brother from papers. This is the most difficult questions in science and technology.

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...
