What is typical?

Is the Shelby cobra GT.350 the most typical car in the world? Or was that car the most common car in the world or even in the USA when it first time rolled out from the factory in 1965? That legendary car is back in production again. But the image portrays the 1965 model. The car is classic, but are those classics very often today?

Media is the place where the extraordinary is turning regular things. Typical news and articles are handling superlatives or something very extraordinary things. Things like the fastest aircraft, tallest buildings, and tallest trees fill all articles. When we are looking at media, we might think that regular people are misters or they are some kind of president. We might think that a regular Russian is Vladimir Putin. When we look at war movies we might think, that all U.S. soldiers are fighter pilots or some SEAL team members. 

We might think that a regular person in the western world is some kind of millionaire. If we look at car magazines we might think that all people are driving muscle cars. We might think that Shelby GT.350 is the most common car in the world. That car is over 50 years old. And maybe somebody put there the electric engine series. But otherwise, those cars are mainly in a museum or some movies. 

Is SR-71 a typical aircraft? That aircraft is well-known. But is it a typical U.S. aircraft, even in the military sector? 

So what is typical?

How good a question. The universe where we live is the only known universe in the third dimension. Because we don't know other universes, the universe where we are living is typical for us. Same way if we only see skyscrapers and we ever go out from an area where are skyscrapers we might think that skyscraper is the typical house where people are living. 

If we see only people who are similar to us, we might think that we are typical people. The thing is that we might think very extraordinary things very ordinary. When we are reading about things like scientific writing we might think that typical researchers are working with a Large Hadron accelerator in CERN. And typical physicists are working with some kind of Higgs boson research. 

Almost all published scientific stories about particles are connected with the Large Hadron collider and Higgs boson. But we can say that those things are not typical. They are the most high-energy particle and the most high-energy tools in physics. But the fact is that those superlatives are far away from the typical scientific tools. 

Same way if we think about the SR-71 "Blackbird" and the stories that are published about the fastest aircraft in the world we might think that the typical recon plane is some kind of SR-71. The fact is that the most unusual airplane in the world is not the SR-71 that is retired. 

Superlatives are fascinating things. They are always interesting. We might find the tallest tree in the world from the Guinness book of records or Wikipedia. 

That tree is Coastal redwood in California. But regular trees are a little bit shorter. But what if we spend our entire life in the forest where are only coastal redwoods? We might think that coastal redwoods are typical trees on our planet. 

So extraordinary fills most of the articles in the world. And that means we are facing one thing. Most of the articles and facts that are searched and written handle very extraordinary things.

A positive personality defends people against fake news.

"Wuerzburg psychologists have studied what makes people more susceptible to fake news. Credit: Jan Philipp Rudloff / University of Wuerzburg" (ScitechDaily/Psychologists: Dark Personality Traits Make People Susceptible To Fake News)

People with dark and negative personalities believe fake news more often than positive personalities. This is the thing, that psychologists found when they research what kind of personalities are the most vulnerable to fake news. Or is it that, those dark personalities just don't react to fake news? 

There is a possibility that dark personalities don't just react to lies that they see. So they don't mention if they see fake news. And the reason for that is maybe in their traumatic past. 

Maybe those dark personalities are afraid to tell if they see things like fake news. The reason for that is negative personalities afraid that if they are giving some negative feedback or simply saying that they don't believe something those people are closed away from their society. 

The thing is that many negative personalities are advancing when the person gets negative feedback. So that thing causes social apathy where the person would not ever react to lies and fake news. 

When all answers or attention that person gets is negative. That causes a situation where the person will not even want to tell about fake news or participate in discussions. The person will not even want to tell if they see lies or fake news.

So those people do not necessarily believe things that they see. They might not tell that they see lies in some text or video. Negative feedback about their attempt to get attention causes negative people don't even care to say anything if they see lies. 

The reason for that is maybe that people with dark personalities are lonely. They spend more time on the net. They have fewer discussion partners than positive people. 

And then another thing is that fake news is more often negative. So negative people are following negative news. And the reason for that is that people are searching for support for their way to see things. 

Fake news is offering lonely people the possibility to spend more time with things that are not true. But those things offer information that nobody knows first and better. 

When we think of negative personality, we must ask why people became negative. Maybe that thing explains why negative people believe lies more often than positive people. 

Or do they? Maybe the thing is that negative personalities are not saying so often if they see fake news or somebody tells lies in some discussion forum. The reason for that is that those people are afraid that they are closed away from that social network.

History is the tool to make decisions for the future.

Sometimes some wise men asked, "why we are researching history"? The answer is that by researching history we can learn to find mistakes. And then avoid making the same mistakes again. There is a phrase: "man is not stupid if he makes mistakes". But if the man repeats that mistake that thing changes the game. If a man repeats the same mistakes multiple times. There are some problems between the ears. 

But when we look at the worst mistakes in human history, we are facing the use of gasoline in combustion engines. And the even worse thing was to use lead in gasoline. Those energy sources are easy to use and easy to get, but now we are paying the price for those solutions. In the same way, we can say that trust in Putin was a big mistake. But the fact is if we are not learning from those mistakes we cannot fix them. 

We can look back and say:  in the past, we were something, like prime movers. But now we must realize that nothing comes better if we just sit and throw our responsibility to somebody else. If we want to be prime movers we must earn that position. The thing is that we must dare to begin the change. 

Change is necessary for innovation. And in the center point of business is the product. If there is no product there are no customers. Same way in the world of the military we must understand one thing. There is no fair game in real battles. Even a small country can win a larger army by using technology. The warning of that thing was chemical and nuclear weapons. And finally, robots and robot mass armies are the tools that are giving even small countries the power to resist large countries. 

Robots are good tools for jobs that are boring. But the problem is those robot workers bring a large group of unemployed people. The argument for robot workers is that they are making jobs that nobody wants to do. Salary in those works like food delivery is not very good, and working in clothes factory is also very low paid. Those people can work 12-14 hours a day. In this case, I mean the work conditions in the industrial sewing factory are not good product's reputation. 

Social media is one of the key elements in modern working life. And the power of social media is extreme. If something that is not meant to show to outside people slips into the net. Removing it is impossible. 

Modern working life is a network. And information travels very fast in the networks. And people can see what mean the law in corrupt countries. Even if somebody says that they are not breaking the law. That thing means nothing. 

From the net, people see what means "legal treatment" in some countries. Politicians cannot just pass the power of social media. They must somehow please the people who elect them to the parliament. In republics and democracies is no politician who must not care about people's opinions. We are living in a time where the only stable thing is change. And fast changes are making long-term decisions hard. 

A fast and violent change escalates over society. Network connections allow people can work from home. And that thing is one of the biggest changes in the world. I know that people want to go to work in the morning, but the problem is that the offices are only unnecessary money pits for companies. But remote work requires a new type of attitude. People must realize that the world is turning into a 15-second version of 15 minutes town. 

On Internet, we can click on ourselves to any location on Earth in 15 seconds. And if there is a camera in that location we can observe things like we were physically in that place. The only thing that limits this thing is the lack of cameras. 

The problem is how to handle change.

To create successful business architecture, we must follow trends and megatrends. But the problem is that those trends and megatrends are sometimes short-lasting events. And when the megatrend ends the new megatrend replaces it. 

When something changes people must learn to live with that change. Adaptation to a new environment requires resources. And that thing means investments. If a company will not follow the change it loses all its customers. This is the problem with change. Every time somebody makes something new. And that thing is successful others will compy that solution to their environment.

The origin of the material of the Venus of Willendorf is solved.

The figurine is seen from all four sides (Wikipedia, Venus of Willendorf)

The "Venus of Willendorf is a small statue found near the Village of Willendorf, Austria in the year 1904. The statue is an 11,1 cm tall statuette of a voluptuous female figure. That statue is one of the greatest mysteries on Earth. And its origin is now has been cleared. The material of the statuette is traced to Eastern Ukraine. 

Researchers are used modern methods in that research.  But that thing has not uncovered the person who made that statuette. The question is how the Eastern Ukrainian stone drifted to Austria? Why does somebody carry that stone? 

The origin of the material doesn't mean. That the statue is made at the place where the material is picked. Maybe some slave or refugee picked that stone from the ground and made the statue for fun or getting something to do. The thing is that the age of a material is known. That doesn't mean that the merchandise is made at the same time. There is the possibility that merchandise like Willendorf's Venus is made long after the stone dropped to Willendorf village. 

The last thing is my conclusion. There is the possibility that the person who carried that stone from Eastern Ukraine to Austria was a slave. The different people had a bigger chance to be sold as slaves than "regular" people And maybe the person who carried that stone and made the statue was an autist. 

There is one thing that could explain. Why somebody was allowed to carry the stone from Eastern Ukraine to the Willendorf village? The person who made that statuette could be some kind of "savant autist". And if the slave traders noticed the skills of that person. They might be allowed the maker of that statue to continue the work.  But that is only theory. 

Those skills gave value to the slave. And maybe that thing made an impression on slave traders.

Stephen Hawking: "Selling of Scientific celebrity" by Charles Seife

I haven't read that book yet. But there is something that I wanted to comment on when I read about the review of that book. At the first Stephen Hawking (1942-2018) was a remarkable man. The second thing he still is an iconic character in his wheelchair and cosmos above him. 

The third thing is that he gave the faces to the ALS. That sad syndrome is the thing that made that man an icon. When Hawking was a young man. He made remarkable research about black holes. In elder age, that man didn't produce new information. 

But when we are looking at the information from the point of view of science. There should be something that confirms the information. And in the youth of Hawking, there were no CCD cameras, space telescopes, or artificial intelligence. 

The advancing of equipment is expanding our knowledge. And we must realize that the past scientists were also at the top of their era. Once Isaac Newton was the top man in physics. Then the tools were turned better and at the beginning of the 20th. century the top man in physics was Albert Einstein or Max Planck. 

Those men and many other scientists, philosophers, and researchers like Marie Curie along with engineers are written their names in the history of science. Some of them lived before Planck and Einstein. Some of them lived after them. So the world of science is advancing all the time. And nothing is stable. 

Those kinds of observation tools were very limited if we want to compare them with modern telescopes. If we use the most powerful instruments in their most extreme limits, getting the new data requires new instruments. 

The thing is that Hawking might be one of the most incredible men in science and research. And sometimes is asked what if Hawking was a woman? Could that person be the same way as well-known as Stephen Hawking was? The answer is that nobody knows. There are many interesting things in Hawking's wheelchair like the application that allows that person to communicate by moving eyes. 

And of course, things like speech synthesizers were interesting. But as we know Hawking paid a very big price for those things. The fact is that he raised the iconic mind that is not connected with the body. The thing is also. That ALS was maybe the reason why he wanted to make those researches. 

Sitting in a wheelchair is very boring. And that thing would motivate people like Hawking to make things that they want or what they can. Social isolation in that case is also giving power. Then somebody criticized Hawking that he was giving testimonies about aliens and artificial intelligence. He might not be an expert on those things. 

We all know that people are giving testimonies and writing a text about things that was not consist of the know-how or nucleus of the skills of those people. So we all have a right to comment on those things. And that was also Hawkin's right. When we are discussing the alien race. 

No expert on the Earth can give a precise answer. To the question of what the alien race might look like. There is no certain confirmed evidence about the captured spacecraft. But of course, there is the possibility that some government has hidden the evidence about extraterrestrial lifeforms. But another fact is that I don't have access to those laboratories. 

So certainly those things do not exist. Or are they existed? The decision is yours until the evidence is uncovered. And still, somebody can ask "did you visit behind the second door on the left"? So did you check all rooms in that hypothetical laboratory? 

Even the wisest men on Earth are making mistakes. When Max Planck retired, that man said that the nuclear bomb will not work. The same thing said, Albert Einstein. But then less than ten years away the first atom bomb detonated at Alamogordo, New Mexico. 

The fact is that the highest level of knowledge and science is always getting higher. We have better tools than Hawking can ever dream. And those things are bringing new information. 

The ALS is always highlighted in the case of Stephen Hawking. Some people say that that diagnosis is over highlight. In the work of that man. The thing is that once Hawking was a very respected person in the scientific world. The new data, that come after the death of that man. Are got and handled by systems that have not existed in Hawking's active time. The ALS caused a problem for everything in his life. He couldn't use his computer anymore and that made life difficult. 

Why do we research history?

 Why do we research history?

We should learn from things that were made in past. 

Why do we research history? History is a series of things that happened in the past. Those things that are happened in history can use to make models for the future. Research of history is the thing. That purpose is to find the things that will happen in the future. The key question in the history research is to find answers for the questions like "what made something happen"? 

What mistakes were made in cases that are under the research? And what did people learn about those cases? Another thing is that that the purpose of the research of history is to find the answer to the question "what should we do in similar cases"? What went wrong? And what went right? 

When we are thinking about questions like "which side had better generals Confederate or Union side in the United States civil war?". We must realize that the thing that fights is the entirety. Even the best generals in the world cannot win battles alone. In those cases also henchmen are playing roles. If the henchmen don't have the equipment, will, or skills to use weapons. The battle is lost. 

When we are thinking questions "what should we do" in those cases when something has happened. We must remember that when we are looking at history. We might know all answers. We might think that the King of Sweden Charles XII of Sweden. Should not advance to Poltava, where he faced Peter the Great army. 

But the King of Sweden didn't have the same knowledge that we have today. Today we can go to the library and find history books that are telling about the history of Sweden. And there are all answers. But Charles XII acted by using the information that he had. And that was the mistake. 

When we are looking at history we are easy to justify people. Those people made mistakes. And we would be different. And at this point, I must say one thing. In history, people acted by using the information that they had. They lived in different types of society. When they made their decisions they cannot look at results from the library. 

Today history repeats itself. We are thinking that joining the common currency of the European Union Euro was a mistake. The fact is that the Euro planned to be the virtual currency. Which purpose was to help to compile prices. But it turned to real currency. When countries joined the Euro nobody criticized that thing. There was the biggest boom in the history of Europe.

And people wanted to join that boom. But they forgot that even the biggest and strongest economies will face bear markets. So when the bear markets begin that kind of thing will cause things like bankruptcies and unemployment. What do we learn about Euro? When we are middle of the booms we can join everything. But when the boom is over. We still are in the system. 

We can of course, always step out from Euro. That kind of signal would please Russian leaders very much. When we joined Euro nobody said anything against that decision. But now Euro is facing criticism. And of course, we are independent nations who can always start to think about their national interest. We all can step out from Euro immediately, and maybe we are facing a new bull market. But then sooner or later our economy will face a bear market. 

And in that case, we can search for friends. Of course, we can always let those loans that are taken from the EU without paying and then ask for more loans. We have the right to do that thing. But when we are asking for money. There should be somebody willing to offer that money to us. The thing is that when we are looking at history the best wisdom is the hindsight is the best wisdom. 

Now, today we can say wisely. We should not ever join Euro. We made a big mistake wise men say. But we always make mistakes. Only people who are not making anything are not making mistakes. And that is the fact. When we joined Euro nobody saw anything negative about that thing. Or those people said nothing against that thing. Where were the wise men when those political leaders made that decision?

Why did they keep their mouth shut? Why didn't they offer their advice when the nation joined Euro? Now the media is full of advisors who are telling that the Euro was the mistake? 

Today we can say that Euro should remain as the virtual currency. But people made the decision. By using information that was in use at that time. It's too late to cry. We are in Euro and that's it. And then we can make new decisions. 

Technology is advancing. And that brings new challenges and opportunities. 

Sometimes I have thought about what kind of decisions the King of Sweden Charles XII would make if that person had recon satellites? What if he would get confirmed information of his enemies?

At this point, I must say that we should not stare at history too much. Things like artificial intelligence are making it possible to return Euro to virtual currency or even delete that currency. The AI-based solutions offer possible to show the prices in multiple currencies. The modern internet has more capacity than some year 2000 version. And that thing makes it possible to make many things that were impossible in the year 1999. 

And if somebody is willing to pay with some other currency there is enough to put the bank card in the payment system. Then the system would change the price to the currency. That is in use in the country where the bank card is offered. The that we are living in the new era of history. And that era is full of threats and possibilities. Things like quantum computers would revolutionize data processing. And that is the thing that we should benefit more from in our life. Data processing and the internet are tools that began the revolution in the world. And that revolution continues today.

But when we are making decisions we should understand that they all have effects. We cannot make decisions undone. The decisions are made by using data. That was in use at that time.  And that's it. We cannot retake time and make them undone. But maybe we can learn something from history. And maybe, we should listen to more people when we are making some decisions in tomorrow world. And then we must say that somebody will pay the price. When some person gets something. That affects everything.

About the history of computers. From binary- to quantum systems.

 

I'm just looking at my new Windows 11 update. And that thing brings interesting ideas to my mind. The research and development of quantum computers are faster than ever before. Even today we can use quantum computers by using remote connections. 

But the fast-advancing tools in that sector cause that will be the time when quantum computers are for sale in supermarkets. The development and advancement of quantum computers are following the route of binary computers. The binary computers came out from laboratories. And then they became personal equipment. 

The rise of the internet caused that the information stored in the network stations and the thing called PHP (Preprocessed Hypertext) made it possible that also small computers can use to drive complicated code. The PHP means that the system outsources complicated calculations in the calculation center. And the PHP would be the base for the systems that are used to operate quantum computers. 

If the quantum computer is installed in some calculation center. That means there is one more level in those supercomputers. The data is downloaded from the net to the binary supercomputers that are preprocessed to the quantum system. 

And the same way when quantum computers process data and finish its run it would download and turn to the binary mode by using those supercomputers. The advancing hardware means that quantum computers are turning smaller and cheaper. 

2D microchips can be stabilized by using pressure and low temperature at the same time. 

The 2D microchips are more suitable for small-size quantum devices than regular 3D structures. The reason for that is that stabilization of the 2D or flat structures is easier than 3D structures. The system can use both low temperature and pressure for stabilizing the quantum systems. 

That allows the quantum system to operate in higher temperatures than old-fashion quantum systems. The compact-size quantum computers can be the next step for computing. 

And when quantum computers are turning compact and more often. That thing means that the data that is protected by using binary computers is dangered. Even we want to resist the advancing of quantum technology we must remember the development of binary computers. 

From the first electronic computer, ENIAC was only a small step to personal digital computers. The ENIAC step into service in 1945. And the IBM PC, the first personal computer entered to markets in 1981. And if we are looking at the advancing of the computers we must realize that if somebody said that we have a 4 gt memory block in a computer that we can carry in briefcase other people said that the sayer has some problems. 

Quantum computers are advancing very high speed. And quantum computers are used to plan and research new and more powerful quantum systems. The size of quantum computers decreases. And that means the first robots that are controlled by the internal quantum computers might be a door. There is nobody who can control the development of that thing.

The strange thing about the RMS Titanic

https://pimeakronikka.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

RMS Titanic sunk in 1914, and that process took over two hours, and that means the ship could be evacuated in very good order. But the lifeboats were not laid down in the right time, and that meant, the ship went down with many passengers. This accident was one of the most horrifying things, what happened in the peacetime sea routes. The accident of Titanic made a very bad thing for the White Star line's public image. And the reputation of some passengers and crew members were lost forever because they claimed to favor the first class passengers, and that caused the situation, that the third class passengers left in the trap at the lower deck, because of the doors to the lower decks were closed.

In the film below is the real-time film about sinking, and by looking at it, you might realize, how long the sinking took. And if captain Smith would be ordered to drive back the ship could sink even slower. This is only speculation. But delivering lifeboats could begin earlier, and the major question is, why those lifeboats delivered with half empty? Why the crew didn't look that the lifeboats were filled with people?

The sister ship of the Titanic, HMHS Britannic hit to mine at Aegean sea in 1916, and the sinking of that ship took an hour. In that case, only 30 persons died, what is an interesting detail because that ship was served as the hospital for wounded soldiers. That means those persons couldn't be in the best physical condition, what means that those evacuation plans were very good. The good question is, why Titanic was overbooked? Why there was too little number of lifeboats? And how it passed the check if there were not enough places in the lifeboats at the emergency situations?

Or could there be something else reasons, for the great number of survivors? Was that ship used for some other purposes than a hospital ship, or were those men so little wounded, that they could walk away from that ship? This is a very interesting detail in that story because if that ship was full of wounded patients, who need surgery, was the moving to the lifeboats be very painful. And sometimes somebody has told the joke, that the ship was served as the headquarters of the British southern front in the World War II.

About the Russian money in the Trump's election campaign and the little words of the history of politics of that nation

https://gamesandtehories.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

There is a thing, what people don't seem to understand about the Russian financial support for Donald Trump's election campaign. The primary question about this kind of investigations is, did Trump knew about the support, what came from Russia? Of course, that money came from the private persons, and they didn't come straight from the Kremlin, what makes that money basically legal. But if the money were given by the Kremlin and the purpose was to support the election campaign of Trump, would the uncovering that support near the final of the presidential election made for supporting the opponent? And that's why that money and the gift was given to public knowledge just before voting process. When we are thinking about the investigations, what are made by special prosecutor Mueller, there is one big question about those investigations.



It is "should the president answer the questions, what investigators make when that person is in office? Here we are talking about the thing, what is very big, and it's should the president be over the law, or could that person kick off, if there are some financial problems with the election campaign? And what happens if some foreign government just put money into those bank accounts, what are opened to the presidential election campaigns. After that, we must say, the most attractive thing for some political thrillers would be that some South American drug cartels would give money to some politicians election campaign. In that case, there would be the very interesting problem, because that bank accounts for the election campaign gifts are open, and what if some drug boss just sends money to those accounts?


And then tells that to the whole world. Could that cause the arresting for the president? That kind of things is very interesting because those drug cartels have money and will to influence the policy of the United States of America. And could the president be responsible for the things, what he or she would not even know? And should that person step out from the office, if that kind of support from illegal actors are found in the election campaigns, even if the president would not know about that money? This example is more radical than the support, what came from the Kremlin but it is basically similar to the real-life case, what is investigated by Mueller.


And of course, the interesting thing is, have somebody make that kind of financial support for presidential elections before in history. Here I must remember, that after the First World War Woodrow Wilson was very passive in the foreign policy. In 1915 the German Submarine sank the ship named Lusitania, and in that case, Wilson was not given the declaration of war to Germany even 1000 united states citizens were killed, and the reason for that was, the ship was under the British flag. Of course, declarations of war are given by Senate, but somebody has claimed that Wilson was in the main role that the Senate was not given the declaration of war to Germany. Even in the ship was over four million rifle patrons, the target was the civilian ship. So that incident turned public opinion in the USA for supporting Great Britain and its alliances.


But then after the first World War, the League of Nations were established in 1919, and the mastermind behind this idea was the foreign minister Grey and it was supported by President Wilson. After that, the Senate has not ratified the Versailles peace treatment and the USA stayed outside the League of nations, and then that nation stated the isolation policy, what ended just until Pearl Harbor attack in 1941. The question in those actions was, that did somebody bribed those congressmen or Wilson to make that kind of decision?


The action of Wilson is sometimes translated to confess people, that he supported the League of Nations, but then that thing torpedoed in the Senate because the USA didn't want to join the battles in Europe. And the major question is, what kind of actions were the Wilson or Senate didn't want to take apart? Wilson's actions after Lusitania have caused claiming, that maybe some Germans gave support for that man? But this is only the speculation. If Wilson would send the troops to Europe in 1915, the war could be ended, because Germany would get honorable peace. But those things are only speculations, and we do not know every fact about those happens, what caused that the League of Nations left without teeth, as we might say. 

About the meeting between Trump and Putin and U.S support to Russia and the Soviet Union.

https://kimmontaidearvioita.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

There have been comments, that Trump was accepted the limitations of human rights in Russia, and makes brotherhood with dictators. But when we are going back to the Second World War there was the law, what was known as "Lending and Renting law". That law guaranteed that Joseph Stalin got military equipment from the United States during the Second World War, and USA delivered many military aircraft like Bell P-39 "Airacobra", A-20 "Havoc" and DC-3 to Soviet Air Force.


Also, some tanks and one Royal Sovereign class battleship were given by the USA and Great Britain, what delivered battleship for Stalin for the fire support role in 1944. That battleship returned to Royal Navy in 1949. That law actually supported Joseph Stalin to stay in power, and the question is, what the Soviet Union gave back for that equipment? Nobody ever asked, was this support necessary or did the United States government knew about the human right situation in the Soviet Union. But that was the Second World War and Western allies needed help, and Stalin was able to give that help in the form of the Second Front. And that was real after Hitler attacked the Soviet Union and the USA took the part to War after the Pearl Harbour Attack in 6. December 1941.


But when we are thinking about the supporting undemocratic government, the meeting between Trump and Putin is actually the very important thing, because Vladimir Putin is the very well known man, whose way to work we all know. And what we afraid in the west? There are persons, what have been out of the publicity, and who wait that Putin will someday divorce from the position of the power in Russia.


Those persons are same style men and women, who believe the Great Russian empire, and those persons might be very surprising actors if they would get the power. Putin himself is not the problem, the problem is the forces, what support him. When he got the power in Russia after the strange heart attack of Yeltsin, Russia got the president who had skills and relationships to crush the organized crime, but the work was left to halfway.


Putin crushed the street gangs, but he couldn't get the leaders of the organized crime to court. Those persons legalized their business and now they will sell the mobile telephones, and nobody ever can show them ex-mafia bosses. Putin Used KGB in that operation, and the peaceful streets were enough for people, who were tired of violence and corruption.


And the forces, what keep Putin in power are the very complicated thing. If some decisions of the people who they support are not pleased them, the punishment would be death. So if those forces want, that Putin will continue his career as the President of Russia, that man would not have a change, or he would become the disappointment, and that would cause the heart attack by potassium-chlorinate injection. And when we are thinking about Putin, he could continue his career quite long, and maybe he wants to become some kind of Brezhnev, who was many years in the power of Soviet Union.

Strange things about "Eilean Mor" island. (Eilean Mor´s mystery part II)

https://kimmontaidearvioita.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Sometimes I have thought, that the mystery of "Eilean Mor" is the mystery because it wanted to be the mystery. The island is small, so I have thought that there is not much to write, but I was wrong. This writing is straight from my head, and that's why there is no physical evidence about those things, what I will write. And the use of imagination is allowed about this kind of things. But here we go. I have thought, that maybe the guards of the lighthouse vanished by accident because the name "Eilean Mor" seems like the name of the ship. And maybe somebody got orders to eliminate the crew of the ship named "Eilean Mor", what might be brought weapons to IRA.


And if the thing, what got that information was from some loyalist underground organization, might that person or some other loyalists attack to that island for getting those weapons. Or maybe those weapons were stored at the island under the guard of the lighthouse workers, and then they were killed and throw in the water. Another version is if two of three men started to be good fellows and left one of them outside. That means, that those two men left every work in the lighthouse for one man and somehow violated him. Then there was the fight where some of those men died, and who survived flee from the hands of the law.


But there might be some other explanations about this thing. When we are thinking about the stories of giant birds, that might cause by some kind of magnetic phenomenon, what could make birds, what seems very strange.  Maybe that electric vortex caused the vanish of those persons, who were in the lighthouse during the incident. This means that the powerful electric field caused the electric arc, what would burn those men to the ash. One of the wildest theories, what I ever heard is that the lighthouse of "Eilean Mor" was used for early laser test, where the glass stick was light by using the light of the lighthouse.


Because those men didn't know the equipment, they put the power on those acetylene lights, and then the laser ray would put them vanish as steam. The laser could be installed inside the lighthouse quite easily in an upside position, and the ray would be targeted by using the mirror at the top of the lighthouse. The lamps can put circularly around the laser-element. But as you might notice, that explanation seems got quite far. But the truth is, that inside the lighthouse could be installed quite a powerful laser, and this weapon could be invisible. The laser can be used against the ships and the mirrors, what allows to use it against satellites can be installed on the small boats. And maybe in some lighthouse is this kind of thing inside it. But I don't believe that was the reason, why those men were vanished from "Eilean Mor".

Why Germans made Type XXI-class submarines and other weapon projects?

Picture I

https://pimeakronikka.blogspot.com/p/why-germans-made-type-xxi-class.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

This is the text about Type XXI Walther turbine boats, not Type XXI electro beats, what were equipped with the conventional diesel-electric system was produced 114 units. So if here is mentioned the XXI-U-boat it means the Walther boat. And I don't know about winnings of this type of submarines.  Some The Type XXI U-boats served in allied navies after the World War II and their mission was to help to create new submarines for the U.S and the other allied navies.

https://uboat.net/types/xxi.htm

The reason for German secret military projects is simple, the losses of the U-boats and aircraft were so big, that the Nazi-government must try to create new kind of equipment for replacing the old things. The losses of the U-boats were grown very high, and that was the reason for creating the new type of submarines. Type XXI was the fiasco in many ways because the technology was not advanced enough, that the planned systems could be made in full-scale submarines.


There was one U-boat before type XXI where the Walther-propulsion were tested. That thing was a V80-class submarine, what made the record in underwater speed what was 38 knots, and that record was broken until the Albacore-class submarine broke it in the 1950's. The Walther propulsion was the turbine, what used hydrogen peroxide and water to create steam for the turbine.


But when we are thinking about Type XXI U-boat the Walther propulsion was too radical for working that large U-boat, and I sometimes have thought, that why the V80 class U-boat were just equipped with torpedos? Of course, the Soviets could make the records with closed-cycle diesel-electric submarines, but I can't get data about the speeds of the Soviet submarines. And here I'm writing about non-nuclear submarines, not nuclear vessels. The fate of the Walther-powered type XXI U-boats was that they were scrapped in 1944, and that metal was planned to use in tanks. The XXI U-boats were technically advanced, but they were the operational fiasco, and they were ever sunk a single ship. The Walther turbine was a brand new design, and at that time nobody had the experience to make turbine power submarines, and the wartime was not right to make those experiments.


The reason why this unique power system was created, is that there was the distress of fuel in Germany. And that was the reason, why Germans must create the fuels, what can be produced without natural oil, and there is one mystery, why in the airplanes were not tested to use Ethanol. That thing was used as the fuel of V-2 rockets, and it would be very easy to produce. But for some reasons, it was not used in aircraft motors. But the Walther was tried to sell his exotic turbine, what used the mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water to aircraft. The reason why this aircraft ever produced, that the producing the hydrogen peroxide in large scale, that it could replace Benzin was impossible.


Probably the reason, why alcohol was not used in combustion motors was that it could produce illegally, and that's why the control of the aircraft and cars was not working because somebody could produce it at home and drive the car without permission as long this person wants, and there would be no markings in the fuel diary. That would not be pleased the Gestapo what mission was control the usage of the vehicles.


But the problem was that tanks couldn't cut the supply from America. The losses of U-boats were very high because the SONAR and radar gave the allied opportunity to surprise the German U-boats. And in 1943 those boats were equipped with extended anti-aircraft flak and schnorkel-system, what allowed to drive underwater with diesel. Schnorkel was actually two tubes. Another tube was used for the air inlet in diesel, and the other was removed the exhausted gas. This system was very advanced, but the submarine was very close to the surface, and if the aircraft noticed the exhaust gas the depth charges were dropped.

There are many interesting things in the world

(https://www.technischesmuseum.at/object/bagdad-batterie)

https://vapaaverkkojulkaiseminen.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

There are many things, what are interesting people like me, and when we are thinking about the ancient aliens, super weapons of holy bloodlines, we might sometimes see, that there are many times the same thing in many times at the Internet. If somebody writes too much about bombers and weapons, that would make the blog seems like some gun bazaar. That kind of things brings sometimes burglars to home and that will be the very disturbing thing if they destroy the lock or door.


Of course, the military equipment is the very interesting thing about writing some stuff, and when we are honest, we would not know, what kind of systems those weapons include. But as we might know, that the missiles and other weapons are governmental secretive things, and normal people would even know about their homing systems.  Those systems are normally top secret, but the principles of that equipment are actually "open information".  The details of the system are classified, but the system works in a similar way as the automatic traffic control system works. The system what scans the registration plates from cars can also use to recognize the houses, and then the weapon tries to do, what it's the main computer wants it to do.


This means, that replying the same things, again and again, would that seem very boring. The problem of many writers is that they would not let their ideas to fly. They don't dare to use imagination when they are writing something. When we are thinking about ancient batteries or some other miracles of the world, somehow we always think, that if some ancient Sumerians would have the battery and they could make electricity, would that automatically mean, that they had the lamps and computers.


Maybe the Sumerians used the electricity only for galvanizing the metal statues by the gold layer. Or they might know the electric arc lamp, but that is not probably true. Making the electric arc is very easy if the person has multiple batteries in use. Maybe those Sumerians would only use the electricity in some holy rituals because if you would put the electrodes to their tongue, that would give a strange feeling. But the battery could be also the fake.


When we are thinking about writing about some things, what are looking supernatural, we are facing the situation, that many of those things are getting the natural shape. And one of those things is why number 666 is the number of the beast. The reason is, that this number is very easy to remember, and the judge must remember when he would give hard punishments. Also, the number could be marked for people, in what house some people have put the gunpowder cask, what was meant for some hated people. That kind of thins made the number 666 the number of the beast.

The strange life of Mary Shelley

Mary Shelley (nee Godwin)
(1797-1851)

http://gamesandtehories.blogspot.com/p/the-strange-life-of-mary-shelley.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Mary Shelley (1797-1851) was the writer of the book “Frankenstein” or “The modern Prometheus”. This woman was one of the first female horror-writers, and the book, what she was written is still in the lockers of the libraries. In her young ages, she faced many deaths, and her husband, who was five years elder than Mary, was died in 1822 by accident when his boat fold near Sardinia. The suicide was the fate of the Mary Shelley's stepsister, and the first wife of her husband also committed suicide. Mary's husband wealthy poet Percy Shelley (1792-1822) died in the accident when his Ariel-schooner fold in the Sardinia.


Famous writer Mary Shelley was born with the name Mary Godwin in the London 1797, and she died for the brain tumor in the age 53 for the year 1851. There are some rumors, that the brain tumor caused the ultimate productivity of that person, and when we are looking about those mysterious deaths in her younghood, where the first wife of her husband drown herself, must those cases be investigated more careful than they were done. There is one feeling left, that somebody killed those people on purpose, for hiding something. Or why two persons, who knew Mary Shelly committed suicide almost at the same time?


There was something, what somebody would not that anyone would know, and that secret was so big, that this actor was ready to make those murders for giving Mary room for life. And then the tumor killed that nice writer at the age of 53. Before that, the tumor had taken the ability to move from that woman. When we are looking at the critics, what the book took from the newspapers, we must understand one thing, no writer can make texts without sources, what gives them the inspiration. Without inspiration is impossible to write. And when the critics say, that Mary Shelley was just channeled the male company ideas to the paper, we must say, that every writer in the world makes those things. They would write the worlds, what they hear to the memory, and then write their books by using that kind of techniques.

Percy Shelley
(1792-1822)

So the writer of the “Frankenstein” was Mary Shelley did the critics like that or not. But when we are thinking about the connection between productivity and the brain tumor, there might be made some experiments, where inside the human skull have put the silicone bites, what mission were press the brains, and simulate the tumors. The purpose of those tests would be to increase the productive thinking of the humans. And they might be made in the mental hospitals. In those surgical tests the victim's skull would be opened, and then the silicone bite would be set inside the skull, that it would press the brains in the precise right angle. And that would make the same kind of function than real tumor causes.


When we are thinking about the life of the Mary Shelley, her husband was somehow denigrated, and the reason, why the property of his family is always mentioned is somehow left out of my understanding. Also, Lord Byron was the wealthy man, and the traveling across Europe was expensive even in that time. When we are thinking about falling in love with Percy and Mary Shelley, they started to date, when Mary was 16 years old.




And then her father denied the meetings, but Mary flees to her stepsister. she told her father, that she would be committed the suicide if that man would try to separate her from the Percy, who was married. But then the wife of Percy Shelley drown herself, and the marriage was possible. And that happened with the permission of Mary’s father, who did not talk to his daughter anything in years. And for some reasons also Mary’s step-sister committed suicide in those days, and that kind of things cannot be the coincidence.


There were many accidents and suicides around Mary Shelley. Here we must say that we sometimes think, that people know Percy Shelley only by his wife Mary, who wrote the novel “Frankenstein”. This man was one of the major Romantic poems in England. Sometimes is told that Percy himself has kicked off the university, because of some atheistic circular, what maker he would not want to inform. And that caused, that this man was broke his relationships with his parents. But he wrote one bigger poem collection “Alastor or The Spirit of Solitude”  but he died before age of 30 in the boat accident. But this poet made also other poems, and one book, what was named as "The Necessity of Atheism".

Why were German wonder weapons so big flop?

V-2 Rocket was the most well known German
wonder weapons
(Picture I)

https://pimeakronikka.blogspot.fi/p/why-were-german-wonder-weapons-so-big.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

This is the text, what I sometimes wanted to write for explaining, why Nazi wonder weapons ("Wunderwaffe")  were the biggest flops in history? There is one very good reason, why those weapons ever got effect against allied forces, and that was that they were produced so little number, that they would not have any kind of effect against allied forces. Another reason for those flops was that they were produced and drawn by very big hurry, what caused the situation, that there were many mistakes in planning and production of those in paper very good airplanes and submarines. One of the best examples of the good ideas, but in real life, bad and dangerous product was Heinkel 117 "Greif" what motors had got too little coolers, and they made that airplane very easy to burn in airborne.


And because of the Nazi-bureaucracy, nobody changed the drawings, and production of the aircraft, what had two V-motors with a double number of cylinders, but the coolers were metered for half size motors continued even if many of those aircraft were actually started to burn in airborne because of engine overheating. Also, the famous V-2 rockets had one problem, those rockets were actually planned for scientific purposes, and that made them very difficult to a product. The missiles must be the large number, and that's why almost every missile in the world uses solid fuel because that allows manufacturing a large number of missiles. V-2 could be effective if there would be used biological or chemical warhead, but luckily those plans were disbanded.



When we are talking about "real weapons" the problem with those real weapons was that they were ineffective against allied forces. And because of Focke-Wulff and Messerschmitt fighters problems with allied aircraft the Nazi government wanted to make new kind of weapons. One of those weapons what were effective was FX-1400 ("Fritz X"), what was first used in 1943 against Italian battleships and one of the DO-17Z-3 bombers was able to get direct hit to one Italian battleships gun tower. One thing makes me think, that maybe some of those problems with bombers were caused in purpose are involving in this weapon. Why the survivability of those bombers didn't make better by using laughing gas or some other oxygenase in the motors of those bombers, what would allow them to fly higher altitude. And avoiding the air defense and some fighters of allied forces.


That was shown how effectively guided missiles could be worked, but the problem was that the Luftwaffe had to transfer the production of bombers to the fighters, and that caused the loss of a number of bombers, what had the capacity to carry those glide bombs. Also, the training of airmen to use that weapon was difficult, because allied fighters disturbed those pieces of training, and loss of fuel caused problems for flight operations. When we are talking about German submarines and their weapons, there were made new kind of torpedoes, what could guide to the target by using electric wires, what was in the spinning rod, and the captain of the submarine could drive those torpedoes to the target by using two circuit breakers. Those weapons were ineffective because if the captain of the submarine made the wrong move while losing the sight of the torpedo, would those torpedoes destroy own submarine.


The "Walter turbine", what allowed to drive submarines underwater with high speed flopped because the fuel was too exotic. And the principle, where steam for turbines was created by mixing hydrogen peroxide and water was very good, but those submarines were ready for their first patrol in May 1945, and they couldn't make an influence for the World War II. But those submarines were the very good vision and technically advanced. And some bad rumors tell or claims that they were produced for allied forces as the commercial card, what kind of things the German military engineers could do.  One of the reasons for the failure of those wonder weapons was that their users could not wait for the sign of their effectiveness against the enemy.


If some of those wonder weapons were not hit the target, that meant the delaying of the production of that system. And of course, German factories were gone under the heavy bombings, and that made impossible to the product of those new weapons, and that made them ineffective against any target. They were very technical and difficult to the product. But the air superiority of allied forced Germans to make those weapons, what was not very effective, sometimes because of the small production numbers. Of course in German political culture was very many cases, were the engineer, who made mistakes just executed, and that's why those people hide mistakes, what they made in very high pressure and for those projects were given very short time. That made those machines dangerous for their users.

Little writing of Tourette syndrome and the family of Vasa

https://pimeakronikka.blogspot.fi/p/little-writing-of-tourette-syndrome-and.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Above the text is a photograph, where one vegetable is different than other, and that vegetable or flower doesn't have to shame the difference for other flora. This means that being different is not same than being worse than others. Individualism is the thing, what would make people invent new things in the world and every great inventor has been different than other people. Also, many great statesmen were so-called "difficult personalities", that means that they had their strange behaviors.


When we are thinking about mental illness and individualism, we must remember one of the most powerful royal families in history. I sometimes have thought that the mental illness of that family was actually Tourette syndrome, and when we are thinking about that family, we remember them as outstanding military leaders and very creative persons, who made many things for their nation. And if that family had the Tourette-syndrome in their genomes, would that cause the isolation and fear against those people. When we are thinking about members of that family, we can say, that they are a good example, why those people who are working with Tourette- or other patients should keep their mouth shut in that kind of things, and everybody must not know about this kind of things.


The family of Vasa began national independence of Sweden in 1523, and in that family were members, who were so-called mentally unstable. That thing caused violent behavior but at the same time the very high level of intelligence and quality of being the artist. Many members of that family were genius in warfare, but the problem with those persons was violent behavior. And when I think about this family, I sometimes remember one tsar in the history, who was known as the violent man. This tsar was Ivan the Terrible, ruler of Russia, who murdered his own son during the hate episode. And then I must ask again one question of the family of Vasa.


That is are they married to some member of the Tsar Ivan the Terrible's family. And is their anger episodes from that family. When we are talking about the royal family of Vasa, we must say that those persons are the good example that the difference between mental illness and being genius is like the line in the water. When we are thinking about those excellent military leaders and statesmen, we must think about the mental illness and it's the influence on the behavior of the members of that family. That family must have problems to get spouses if that mental illness was commonly known. But what kind of mental illness was in this case?


That thing must have influence if somebody would tell that to everybody, and that's why princess of other courts might avoid that family. I sometimes think that this mental illness was Tourette-syndrome, what might seem like the violent behavior, and the bad way to talk. This syndrome makes the patient seem violent, and it could be very isolating. And many Tourette patients are very good in languages, but the problem is that the syndrome causes the situation, that many of them have seen unable to grow children. Also, the period of the spasm causes that the patient seems very frightened and demonic in the eyes of other people.

Unknown Churchill

Saint Paul Cathedral during London bombings
(Picture 1)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/global-opinions/wp/2018/03/10/in-winston-churchill- hollywood-rewards-a-mass-murderer/?utm_term=.d0b97af9d60e

There is a film about mass murderer again. When we are talking about Winston Churchill, we must say, that also there was made also a film of Adolph Hitler, and of course, Winston Churchill deserves his own version. Why Churchill is prosecuted by mass murders, is that he was the man who planned the Gallipoli invasion in 1915, where many Australians and New Zealander soldiers were killed for nothing. Why the British let Churchill continue his operations after this fiasco? Why was he not prosecuted for this campaign, where probably over 300000 British Commonwealth soldiers were killed for nothing? And why nobody mentioned about that later? Even German propaganda ever mentioned this operation to Turkish cost, even it could be a sword what show straight to Churchill?


He was also working as the chief of intelligence and military police operations in Northern Ireland, and this man gave authorization of mass bombing the German cities in the Second World War. Attacking against civilian targets is a war crime, but the explanation for those actions was, that all Germany was mobilized, and in every factory were built military equipment. This justified the bombing of cities. And nobody was prosecuted for those actions during their life. Also, the commander of the bombers of Luftwaffe Reichsmarschall Albert Von Kesselring was released of similar attacks against civilians.


So Winston Churchill was a murderer. He began his military career in the Kitchener’s troops in South Africa during the second Boer War. And in this campaign was the question of the genocide. Then Churchill continued his career as the chief of intelligence, and he was the key role in security actions in Northern Ireland area, and then this man continued as the chief of the intelligence. In that role, this man was allowed the rise of Adolph Hitler to power in Germany.

Winston Churchill
(1874-1965)

When we are looking at the history, we must say that there was no Winston Churchill without Adolph Hitler. In nowadays we must realize that the rise of NSDAP was caused by Churchill because Great Britain was do nothing to stop that nationalistic party in Germany, and when we are talking about the murdering Adolph Hitler, we must realize that murder is a crime. Churchill was given orders to murder German leaders only one time. This was “Operation Anthropoid” the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich.


He was the creator of SOE (Service Operations Special) what was the most effective sabotage and spying organization during that time. And we must say that the war is not a game. The purpose of war is to save countries. Then we must realize that military organizations must support the purpose of the war in every way. The most effective way to break enemy resistance was mass bombing their cities by day and night. If somebody asked Churchill about those bombardments, he would say that Germans began those terror-bombings against London, Rotterdam, and Warsaw. In the case of Warsaw, the maker of that bombing could also partially made by Soviet Air Forces.


When we are looking at the case of Rotterdam, we must say that also RAF bombed the advancing German troops. And there were claims that somebody in the RAF headquarters might think that Germans were in Rotterdam, and maybe that bombardment was partially made by RAF. Because the leaders of the Luftwaffe might think, that in the city harbor were British warships.


And maybe both sides have bombed that town. But we know that Churchill gave orders to bomb friendly forces. In the harbor of Attack on Mers-el-Kébir was French naval units to wait for Germans to take those ships into custody after France was surrender in 1940. Then Churchill ordered to sink those warships. Those were the actions, what were not made good for this man’s reputation. But there were many more mass murderers on earth. So we must say that Churchill was not alone, there was also Stalin, and Hitler, and of course the Japanese were much worse than those European leaders. And then we must say that every colonialist state has made mass murders. Also, those crimes should be prosecuted when criminals were alive.

About the truth and lies, what is written by poets and historians

Kimmo Huosionmaa

None historian ever told the absolute truth, and the history has been faked from ancient Greece. The reason, why historians told lies about the leaders was practical. If the leaders of the nations didn’t like the texts, what historians wrote, their fate was very painful death in the mouth of emperors pet crocodile or lion. In the real world, the politics have been the ruling element when historians wrote their texts.


When we are observing the familiar books like Julius Caesar’s ” War in Gallic” we must consider, that there are many things, what makes us to suspect that this book is some kind of ”better version” about the things, what claimed to happen, when Julius Caesar was head of the legions in Gallic. I believe that some of those texts are written in some European courts in the medieval period, or they can be made later.


The part of the book, where Caesar tells about the invasion of Britannia is a part, what is not written any master of poems and rhetorics. And when we are looking at the pictures of Dover straight, we must see that the horses are not suitable in that place because the crag is so high. So did somebody made that mistake on purpose? Another part of this column of the text is full of errors, and all story feels like they were in some taverna.


So if the writer made those errors on purpose, we must ask does he lived at the same time as Caesar. In this case, that part of the text has been written for making Caesar suspected as the liar. But if it is written after Caesar’s time, we must consider, that this text might be written in somewhere in Danmark, and it might be portrayed the coast of Sjelland or some other island.


We must say that there is no evidence, that Caesar ever visited north as Danmark. But when we are talking about his book, we must say that even this book is not probably written by Caesar himself. Or part of that book is maybe written by himself, but there might be many columns, what are written after Caesar’s death. And if he hired some professional writers, those persons might make mistakes on purpose, for making Caesar seem like the liar.


Many writers have also been writing false things, because of they afraid that if the emperor doesn’t like them they would be executed. This fate was faced Cicero, the famous Roman poet, and historian. He was killed by Antonius, and his tongue was nailed to the wall. It’s very sad end for great writer and speaker of history. In this case, we must say, that Marcus Antonius was not able to handle critics what he faced as the rank of the emperor.


And if the writings of some persons were not satisfied rulers, those men were executed. Even in the modern era, there are people sitting in jail because they have written something, what was uncomfortable for the rulers. When we are talking about leaders of the nations, they sometimes think, that every problem will be handled by arresting journalists and writers. But when we are thinking about the role of media, we must say that there are cases in history, that reporters start to publish texts, what would protect authoritarian and support censorship.


This is called ”official press”. Some countries like that they have freedom of speech, but only persons who have right to publish their texts are the ”official reporters”. In those countries, the press is in the main role to justify the political police control, and arresting what is targeted for the members of the opposition. So the press could also be a part of the authoritarian government and support the persecution what is targeted to political resistance.
