What are VX and BZ chemical agents?

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The poison of the Skripal-case was sprayed to the door of those persons. And there would be one great question, what actually that poison was? If the used poison were the VX-nerve agent, we must say, that those victims would ever get out from the house. VX-nerve agent is actually liquid and water-like poison, what boils at 300 degrees Celsius. Nerve-agent is somehow very unstable, and in some sources are mentioned that deadly dose of that super-poisonous chemical can form in the room temperature.


The deadly dose is metered by the sucking that chemical thru the skin. Also, the smallest drops of that organic phosphate cause death. The symptoms of the poison begin immediately, and that makes the walking impossible. BZ-nerve agent is the nonlethal LSD-based psycho-active hallucinogen, what has the purpose to make enemy unable to operate, what makes easy to take those persons to the prisoner or destroy them. BZ is also used in some test, where soldiers ability to use protective suits and chemicals have been tested.


In those test, the BZ- or LSD-chemicals would deliver to the air, and if soldiers would see some colors, their attempt to use the gas protecting suits were failed.  That chemical was tested in Edgewood Arsenal and in some tests of MKULTRA, and the purpose of last tests was tested this hallucinogen suitable for interrogations. Also that chemical or LSD were used in tests, where were tested the military personnel able to make reports if they would get some strange symptoms. In those tests, the military personnel was given drink, where was LSD, and if they would answer that they would not feel any strange symptoms, they would mark as unstable. Below this test films from similar tests from Czechoslovakia.


But when we are thinking about the situation, that somebody would use VX or BZ-chemical agents in this attack, we must say that this person needs very good protective gear, what is planned for use with this kind of nerve-agents, and VX would penetrate normal chemical weapon protection suit, and of course the user might get atropine-injections, but in this case must the user be sure, that nowhere in the skin or clothes would leave any remains of that nerve gas. And if the spray would deliver to near the point, what was sprayed, would that cause the terrible situation, where some outsiders would die because of that chemical. BZ can cause psychotic symptoms and that might cause the violent behavior.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology.  The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use.  When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

 Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.  Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave.  We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects.  If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center.  The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
