The hegemonizing swarm can be the next-generation threat.

Could this be the smallest possible quantum computer?

It's theoretically possible. That an atom inside fullerene can form quantum entanglement in its electron shells. That thing can be the smallest possible quantum computer. And fullerene inside quartz crystal can form a miniature quantum computer.

The quartz sends electric impulses to that fullerene- and, as an example, a krypton atom where electrons form quantum entanglements. That thing can be the smallest possible quantum computer. And it can make intelligent dust storms possible.

But then to a hegemonising swarm. Hegemonizing swarms are swarms of Von Neumann or self-replicating machines. The Von Neumann machine can be a molecule that self-replicates. Or it can be a more complicated robot.

Self-replicating machines and self-replicating molecules can create a so-called hegemonizing swarm. And that hegemonizing swarm can be a next-generation weapon or threat. SciFi writer Fred Hoyle created the model of the hegemonising swarm, in his novel The Black Cloud. And Stanislaw Lem introduced a similar idea in his novel "The Invincible".

The hegemonizing swarm can look like an interplanetary nebula.

In models, the hegemonising swarm can be:

*Intelligent dust: There are nanocapsules where neurons live. Those swarms can require solar energy for their operations. And those capsules require a miniature nutrient source.

*Self-replicating carbon-silicone-based molecules. Those molecules might not be intelligent. But they can form a dangerous dark cloud. And if those molecules search for energy sources or travel to heat, they can turn extremely dangerous.

*Non-organic intelligent entireties. There is a possibility that other atoms in fullerene balls can act as nano-size quantum computers. The quartz crystal that surrounds fullerene can send electric impulses and transmit data to the atom-size quantum computer.

There is one hypothetical alien lifeform. That is not at least very often introduced in channels that handle hypothetical aliens. The alien creature can be a swarm of small capsules that involve life support and a couple of living neurons. And the alien creature can make the entirety of those things. That entirety cannot or doesn't want to communicate with outsiders. Those capsules travel in space and operate in entirety.

The idea was that aliens created self-replicating machines that could create radio- or microwaves. And in Hoyle's novel the black cloud could darken the sun from the sky.

Hegemonising swarms might not have personality or even intelligence. The nano-particles may involve living neurons. And if those small self-replicating machines involve two or three living neurons, they can form an intelligent entirety.

There is the possibility that those hegemonizing clouds are not living and involve organic components. It's possible that things like pure silicone dust where crystal bites can form structure. That is like a quantum computer. The quantum computers caused the need to re-estimate intelligence. The Quantum computer is a powerful tool. And it can drive a very complicated code. The problem is: how to get code in the system and back from it?

Theoretically, a silicone cloud can act like a quantum computer. And that kind of thing can be so different than humans that it will not communicate with carbon-based creatures. That kind of cloud might have no data in it. So that thing makes it the intelligent cloud with no operating systems and information.

There is a possibility that the alien swarm or alien cloud will not have similar actions and abilities to communicate with other species. Maybe. Those species will not recognize other creatures if they have not seen them before. In that model, that creature might not have a personality. So it will not interact with other creatures.

And it could just destroy other species if they harm a part of those intelligent clouds. Or maybe those clouds will not elude other creatures and planets. That means those giant things can destroy entire civilizations in an accident.

But as I wrote earlier hegemonizing clouds might not be organic for being intelligent. They could be traveling quantum computers. In some Fermi-paradox models the hegemonizing swarms that are released from laboratories can destroy the entire civilization before it can travel to the stars. In some other models, the wrong-made antimatter rocket test makes the civilization and its home planet into an asteroid cloud.

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...
