The economics and environment.



Things like delivery robots are important for making something interesting. When marketing people offer products, their job is to make the product interesting. That people will click them or touch them. The image of the robot makes homepages interesting. People are always interested in high tech. 

And when some new services like home delivery are marketed to customers. The first challenge is to make people click the homepage. Homepages are making products that customers use interesting looking. But they are also making some marketing areas interesting. 

Economics is not an independent thing. The economic conditions are connected to the will to invest in the country. And when we are looking at things. That is looking good from the point of view of investments. Investors are afraid of things like dictatorship, corruption, and authoritarian governments. Also, areas that promise nothing cause investors are not interested in that kind of thing. 

When an investor gives money to some project, that person wants something for that money. Things like ethics in the production and value chains also mean very important. And in the time of the internet, the data is traveling very fast. And if there is some kind of problems with ethics in the production plants that causes problems in the markets. 

Bad economics causes a whirl that rises corruption makes authoritarian touch possible. Finally causes the nation falls into dictatorship. And when the nation turns to open dictatorial. That makes investors escape from that area. 

The image of the area means very much in modern marketing. If some products are made in areas. That is not good for the image. That means nobody buys them.

Marketing plays a big role in sales. If nobody buys the product. That thing means that the factory will bring losses. And sooner or later the investor must decide to close the factory. That means the investor takes the money away from that area. 

And the investors are bringing their money to the areas because they want to sell products to customers. If investment will not bring value and profit the investor will take money out from the area. If that investor is the central actor that can cause a chain reaction. And lots of investments can lose in a short moment. That causes inflation and destroys economics. 

The main effect of destroyed economics is that the society turns unstable. That accelerates things like brain leaks to more stable countries. And then the most innovative people are leaving the area. And that causes problems for new startups. 


But how to call investors? 


The key element is that we must sort, out what kind of jobs and economics we want to make? We can, of course, make a business environment where are a lot of low-tech companies like hamburger restaurants. But then we can think that there. Is some other way to make the business area interesting. 

If we want to call high-tech industry to some region, we must make that area addictive for that kind of companies. Things like universities that offer high education are good places. Where tomorrow's professionals can get there at least basic skills. 

But another thing is that education is a good moment to familiarize the environment where schools or educational faculties are. The thing is that higher technology and artificial intelligence are interesting things. 

If we want to make a sewing shop or garment factory. That thing might be very big news. But if we want to make a garment factory where robots are making the work, we might get also more positive publicity. 

The main problem in manned garment factories is the poor salary of those workers. The thing is that the robot factories are an elegant way to make ethical business. The problem is that in markets their highest quality-price relationship wins. But the problem with production costs is that the low production costs mean low salaries. 


A bad economic situation causes untrustworthy conditions. 


The problem is how to fit low production price and low selling price together with an image of the product? Low production prices mean poor salaries. And that thing is one of the biggest problems in markets. Even if we would transport our factory to some cheap land, we must realize that there is something that keeps salaries low. 

And that thing is bad economics. Bad economics is making society unstable and violent. That means there is a danger that a person will get physical injuries because of some robberies. And bad economics is the thing that causes low education. Low education makes people susceptible to populists that are offering a simple medicine for that kind of economic situation.

Those things are refusing to pay loans, hiring more people to the army, and finding outside enemies. Also, corruption makes investors afraid of that area. Corruption is the thing that makes investors fear things like arbitrariness.

How to make material that can place itself?




Have you seen the movie named Christie? There was a car in memory that sheet metals could fix the limited damages. The name of those materials is "memory metal". The easiest way to make material that can fix the limited damage like dents and small holes is to connect small nanomachines to the flexible wires. 

The system looks a little bit like a pearl necklace but the form of pearls looks like boxes. Those miniature boxes are connected by using the spring-shaped nano-wire. When something impacts the structure that spring will stretch. And when electricity is connected to that spring it would turn shorter. 

Those nanomachines could have small-size rods that can lock themselves to a certain form. When something impacts that kind of material, the flexible wire keeps those nano-structures together. And then the system will conduct electricity to that material. And it makes the spring-looking wire turn shorter and those crystals can connect and form the entirety. 

Why Kaliningrad area is so important to Russia?


Image 1) Nanuchka-class corvette

The thing that causes a crisis in Kaliningrad is the location of that city and naval base. When the Soviet Union was gone in 1992 Russia lost all other Baltic bases than Kaliningrad. Another naval base at the Baltic Sea is at St. Petersburg. The naval base is located at the fornix of the Gulf of Finland and the route to that base is very narrow. The distance between Helsinki, the capital of Finland. 

And Tallinn the capital of Estonia is about 70 kilometers. And that means the troops can close that sea route quite easily by using missiles and long-range torpedoes. Another thing is that the reconnaissance systems like hydrophones and underwater cameras can observe ships and submarines when they try to go to the open sea. 

The location of Kaliningrad is on the straight coast of the Baltic sea. The naval base cannot be closed so easily. And ships and submarines can slip to the open sea easier than from St. Petersburg. The location makes Kaliningrad a more suitable military base than St. Petersburg. But the problem is that Kaliningrad is like an island. The remote part of Russia. And all cargo between the Russian mainland and Kaliningrad is going through Lithuania. 




The location of Kaliningrad makes it possible that the missiles and aircraft in that area can strike very fast against NATO troops in Central Europe. 

During that period those cargos are under observation of NATO intelligence. Another way to transport equipment from St. Petersburg to Kaliningrad is to use cargo airplanes or sea routes. Those routes are more expensive than using railroads. But secrecy and security are better guaranteed in sea cargo. 

The Kaliningrad base can cause problems in the future. The reason for that is that the naval base is extremely important to Russia when it guards its interest in the Baltic Sea. We can see that there is a risk that the situation that launched the war in Ukraine can repeat in Kaliningrad. At the beginning of the Ukrainian crisis was the role of Sevastopol naval base at Krim peninsula. 

Sevastopol is one of the key elements to control the Black Sea and the oil and gas routes to Europe. This is the reason, why Russians supported the separatists of Krim and wanted to connect that area to Russia. The Kaliningrad naval base plays a similar role in the Baltic Sea. It allows service and combat ships along with recon units can break to the sea and operate on the coast of Denmark and Germany. That base allows the natural point for recon airplanes and ships. They are traveling across the Baltic coast from Kaliningrad to St. Petersburg.

Question about the survivability of drones against the anti-aircraft systems.



Image 1) Grey Eagle 

Some Ukrainian operators criticized drones and say that those systems would not survive a long time because Russians transported effective anti-aircraft systems to the front. A drone is so-called loitering ammunition. 

It is a similar tool to submarines and other aircraft. The idea is that the system stays undetected. If the submarine is detected, it's easy to destroy. Same way, aircraft is easy to destroy if some weapons are targeted and locked to it. 


*********************************************************************


Forbes says: 


The Bayraktar TB-2 Drones are made this kind of result and destroyed the next targets:


-6 armored fighting vehicles 

-5 towed artillery,

-1 multi-rocket launcher

-2 anti-aircraft guns

-10 helicopters

-6 naval ships

-3 command posts

-1 communication station

-2 logistics trains and numerous resupply trucks.


Ukrainians lost 8 Baraktar drones


The Ukrainian military reportedly started the war with just 30 of these drones and has lost only 8 in combat. So the ratio is good for drones.

**********************************************************************




The laser systems above are meant for manned aircraft. But drones can use similar systems. 

Drones are easy targets for anti-aircraft missiles if they are detected. This is the thing that people must realize. The use of drones bases that the drone itself is undetected. So the drone is so-called loitering ammunition. The purpose of it is to be hard to see, and easy to destroy. But then we must ask one question: why do the Russians transport effective anti-aircraft systems to the front only now? 

The drone flies slowly. And it's easy to jam. So it should be an easy target for combat helicopters and aircraft. So why Russians didn't shoot those Bayraktar drones down? if they are easy targets. When we are thinking about the survivability of the drone, we must understand that there is the possibility that some western drones have counter-missile systems. 

That anti-missile system is like an airborne version of the Israeli Trophy system that is made to protect tanks. When the system detects incoming missiles it will shoot them by using some kind of laser or some other directed energy weapon or machine gun, that mission is to destroy or jam the incoming missiles. But the question is what drone makes those kills? Is it some kind of Bayraktar or smaller Kamikaze drones? 

The Kamikaze drones are smaller and cheaper than those larger drones. Drones like Grey Eagle are like remote-controlled aircraft. But Kamikaze drones are easier to make. They are more like some small-size cruise missiles. All drones can point the targets to artillery, aircraft, or kamikaze drones. Also, kamikaze drones can make the targeting missions. And when their fuel is ending they can dive against their target.

Why does traffic form the perfect environment for AI creators?




Image 1) Oldsmobile 442 (Illustration image) 

When researchers are creating algorithms and self-operating robots, they need an environment there are strict and certain rules. The traffic environment offers that kind of operational environment. The first AI algorithms used the chess game as the test platform. 

Chess offered a good, well-controlled but limited environment for the AI creators. But then the power of computers and things like decentralized computing along with AI-based solutions makes it possible to use a larger environment when ambition grows. The self-driving cars are engineers' dreams and that kind of system requires lots of complicated code. 

Making self-flying aircraft is easier than making a self-driving car. The flight altitude of the aircraft must adjust to higher than the highest mountain. And the aircraft will not impact that mountain. The self-driving car must avoid many things like surprisingly starting danger. 



Image 2) Delivery robots can use to collect information that researchers need for making self-driving cars. 

The self-driving cars require lots of code and many variables. That means the programmer must be accurate. And the code must be error-free. If there are problems with the program code. That means the car can cause a dangerous situation. 

So the things like delivery robots used in markets play a big role in this kind of development. Those robots can collect information on what kind of changes and bugs the control code of the systems has. The car pays over 1000 kg, and if it has problems with control algorithms that thing can cause a dangerous situation. 

But when we are talking about traffic as the platform for testing and operating the AI, we must understand one thing. The data mass and accuracy of data are the things that are making those systems suitable. If the AI can get information about the beginning and destiny of each vehicle. 

And information about predicted breaks, etc. that allows the system to operate as an entirety. The system can make holes in car rows in the motorways and adjust the driving speed. But there are always problems with privacy. 

Information plays a big role in the AI-controlled entireties. Drone swarms require information about the positions of their members. The algorithms that are controlling traffic are basing a similar hierarchy to the drone swarms. 


The hierarchy in the control protocol is simple. 


1) The system that operates the entirety interacts with

2) Individual systems. Those individual systems can be the systems that are operating cars. But they can be infrastructural systems. 


When some drawbridge rises the system stops traffic. And the operating system can also interact with the ships and fit its speed so that passing the bridge is comfortable. This kind of entirety where multi-level systems interact makes the traffic smooth and flexible. But there is lots of work with those systems.

Super predictors



From Oracles to modern days the predictors are making their predictions by collecting data from the environment. Travelers reports are transforming to the internet. But the method of the prediction is always the same. The information is used as a matrix, and then the predictor searches for similar things from history. If some kind of thing caused war many times. The predictor will calculate the probability of war. And that thing is one of the most useful ways to make predictions. If a similar situation caused the war 7 times out of 10, the probability of war is 70%. 

The things that predictor must notice are: (at least)

-Political environment on both sides. 

-Economic situation. 

-Corruption. 

-Health care. 

-Public services

etc...

The reason for war might be very simple. The public attention wanted to turn away from some things like corruption or internal problems. If the government is very authoritarian. The outside enemy gives an excuse for censorship and crushes the opposition. 

The bad economics can be the reason for military action because the government might want to make sure that other actors are buying their products. Also, corruption and bad public services are the reason that can cause internal disorders. If the government crushes demonstrations it might need some outside enemy for turning attention from it. 

The reason why I took the war as an example in this text is that thing is total. And it's a clear thing. Things like organized crime can also cause war. In some cases, the criminals make an attentate and then find protection from another country. 

Then the chain reaction where other country starts to blame their neighbor for protecting criminals causes the war. That case can be real if another state is more powerful than another, and that thing can encourage the more powerful government to decide to start the actions against the weaker part of the conflict.  


Oracles and the DMT (N, N-Dimethyltryptamine) 


This part of the article bases the idea that Greeks believed in those oracles and that means there must be something that makes those people believe those things.

When we think that Oracle smelled narcotic smoke before the prediction there must be some purpose for that thing. Maybe the hallucinations made those predictors say something that could interpret as a prediction but there is the possibility that those predictions were so common that they could fit many situations. 

There is some kind of claims that the drug called DMT that our nervous system creates an open gate to the "other world". Somebody says that the DMT is just offering the excuse to think freely. And that drug is used for the same reason as "Absinth" or LSD.  When we are looking at the image of Sibyl the famous Greek predictor the woman seems to look at the smoke there is narcotic smoke. 

There is the possibility that she looks at the mercury plate. There is a small possibility that the mercury vapor makes the antenna between the smell coil and that plate. 

And if we want to be very free thinkers we might think that there is forming a weak electromagnetic bridge between the pineal gland and that mercury. Maybe DMT plays some kind of role in this kind of thing so does the DMT open the senses to another dimension? The fact is that this kind of thing is not scientifically proven. And could there even be another dimension? 


Could there be another invisible world? 


In brane theory, there might be branes in horizontal and vertical directions. The vertical branes mean. The energy level of the material turns so high that we cannot see it. The vertical brane means that there can be many particles that are sending wave motion that we cannot see because that wave motion has a very short or long wavelength. The things like gravitation waves are proven that maybe there are particles that we cannot see even in our third dimension. 

If we are thinking of brane theory where dimensions are the certain energy levels we can think that there are also branes in the horizontal direction. That means there can be words that we cannot see because the particles of those worlds have a different size than the particles that we can see. '

Scientists found the possible source for the red cap of Pluto's largest moon Charon.


Image: Pluto’s largest moon Charon 


Could there be Bose-Einstein condensate in the atmosphere of the Charon? Could there be a boson cloud between those gas molecules? There is a possibility that a large part of that atmosphere is formed of helium atoms. And that thing means that there is the possibility that part of that atmosphere is formed of Bose-Einstein condensate. 

Even if Charon itself doesn't have its atmosphere it pulls gasses like methane out from Pluto's atmosphere. And there is also helium at the highest altitude of Pluto's atmosphere. So Charon could pull those helium atoms to orbit itself. And that thing can cause that near the poles of that small world is forming the Bose-Einstein condensate. 

Because of the low temperature. The temperature on the dayside of the Charon is about -220 degrees Celsius, but on the night side, it's far lower. The low temperature means that all reactions on that moon are extremely slow. 

The image above portrays Charon, the largest moon of Pluto. The image shows the red cap of that small world. And the red or brown dust on the cap of this small world looks like cardamom. That is thrown away. The thing that makes this cap interesting is its form and size. 

Conditions on that small world are so cold and stable that there could be Einstein-Bose condensate freely in the extremely thin atmosphere of that moon. There is the possibility, that part of the atmosphere is in the form of the Bose-Einstein condensate. 

The source of that red area could be an impact with some cosmic snowball. But scientists are suggesting that the sunlight causes some kind of chemical reactions in the thin atmosphere of Charon. 

The energy level on the surface of that moon is very low. So the material in that atmosphere would be the form of the Bose-Einstein condensate. And that thing makes this gas able to react with the magnetic field. If the methane in that atmosphere forms Bose-Einstein condensate. That thing makes it able to react to magnetic fields.

Bose-Einstein condensate is the gas of bosons. So there is the possibility that between methane atoms in the thin atmosphere of Charon are free bosons. 

The question is: why that brown dust is so locally positioned on the Charon's surface? There is a possibility. That there is some kind of chemical reactions in that super cold world. The material in Charon's atmosphere is at a minimum energy level. 

And there is a possibility that the magnetic field of that moon causes the ionized material to pile up to the poles of Charon. If the atmosphere of the thin atmosphere of that moon is partially in the form of Bose-Einstein condensate and conditions of the moon are otherwise extremely stable even the weak ion flow can drive that material to the poles.
