Writing about statues and attitudes

Society gives us the norms how to live, and the norms might understand the synonyms as world "attitudes".  Attitudes have been changed, but the remainings from the old time are still visible in the street views. Above the text is the picture, what might show the well-known place, but there is one very small thing, what I'd like to show you. In this view is two statues, where another is the man, who keeps the boy on the right side, and the woman, who keeps daughter on the left side.

As we all know, the heart is at the left side. I don't know if this the purpose of the sculptor, but this composition might mean, that the women always be persons, who make the decisions with feeling, and the man would make the decisions by using rational way of thinking. When we are looking those statues, the woman is on the right side and the decisions, what she makes by using feelings and heart feels right, and the man who is positioned on the left side might mean, that the decisions, what man makes, might seem wrong.


But when we are looking at the things from their side, they would be made right things, if the things are looking from their side. This is the problem with the things like getting the education have been understood the very masculine thing, and of course, the decision, what educated person made are always difficult. But the life is not easy, and if the person would have no education, would other people make the decisions for that person. When those sculptures are made, the man actually owned women.


 And being free, must the women stay unmarried. In that time masculinity was right, and the masculine man was the thing, what symbolized the advantage and power. Women and feminine things meant traitorous attitudes, and the best example of those attitudes is the old detective films faithful women, who set the traps for the detectives, who used brown poplars and who were portraited famous actors like Humphrey Bogart, who smoked cigarettes non-stop.


This man died because of throat cancer at the age of 58, and he smoked over 100 cigarettes per day. In the modern movies that would not happen, because the laws are prohibiting the marketing of cigarettes.  Science was the very masculine thing and that's why in Finnish language Scientist is almost every time translated in the way "tiedemies", what exactly means "science man", and this is the very good example of the attitudes in 19th. century. This is writing about attitudes, and the thing, that those attitudes were very different in the past. Or if you lived in the time of those black and white movies, would you ever believe, that in some day, would gay people get in the married or woman would be portraited the action hero?

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...
