The National Museum of Finland

Thinking about the shape of the National Museum of Finland is a very fascinating trip to the mind of the architect. This building is a national monument in Helsinki, and it locates near the House of the Parliament, and it's very easy to find. That building is made by three Finnish architects, Gesellius (1), Lindgren (2), and Saarinen (3), who are very famous for their works. In the national museum is the story of the history of Finland, and it's a very popular place to visit.


Sometimes I have thought about the profile of that building and noticed the tower's similarity with the rocket, what is in the cover page of the book "Ulos Avaruuteen".  I know that this is only a coincidence, but there is the very big similarity with the rocket, what is in that book's cover page and the tower of National Museum. This kind of things makes the world a very interesting place to live and give the direction for living.



I know, that this feels crazy, but this tower brings an idea in my mind, that maybe Geselius and his fellows planned space rockets in secrecy, but I know that I have very good imagination. That would be a good topic for some political thriller, and maybe in some day, somebody would write a story of three architects, who would draw rockets, and cover that thing as the plans of the tower of the National Museum.


And maybe the writer would use early deaths of those men as the murder, what causes, that somebody wanted to hide something. In real life Herman Gesellius (1874-1916) died at the age of 42. Armas Lindgren (1874-1929) age of 55 and Eliel Saarinen  (1873-1950) age of 77. Sometimes I have thought that maybe Gesellius and Lindgren would hide some of their projects from Saarinen, whose home language was Finnish. Maybe Gesellius and Lindgren were in the same class, and they had connections from that time, and Saarinen was little bit outsider because he was born in the different year. But this is only the speculation and those years of the born was only coincidence.


And the broken relationship between those men tells that there were problems. Only Saarinen saw old age, but as you see, both of his colleagues have not died extraordinary young. If they have smoked tobacco all of their life, that would cause cancer and death. But sometimes I have thought that did somebody put some chemicals in the Gesellius cigarettes causing the death at the age 42. But that is only thinking, and those architects were cremated after death and their ashes were laid in the lake of Hvittrask near Helsinki, a place where they spend their young-hood.

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.
