The weapons and tradition

Below this text is a link to famous traditional German songs from the 17th. century. There is a series of portraits of that time art, and here I must mention, that I don't have copyrights for that video, but you might push the link and watch it by self. The film consists the interesting paintings from that period, and as you might seem, those paintings consist the introductions, how the weapons should handle, and of course the warnings and codes, what people who fought in 30-years war should afraid.


The rifles in those paintings seems normal weapons, but they are made by extremely strong materials, what means that they were so-called "hand cannons".  Those extremely powerful flintlock muskets could penetrate walls of stone houses, and that made them extremely dangerous.  Also, the crossbow was loaded with windlass, and that tells something, how powerful those weapons were. The strong bow would give extremely high power for arrows, what would send to the targets.


Also, there are paintings of the men, who use heavy swords. Those extremely long swords were so devastating, that they could cut the horse in two pieces. But in the 30-years war, those swords were also equipped with rifles, what would make them more powerful. The back of the sword was sometimes equipped with the small pistol, what could be used when the blade is turned upwards, and the opponent was not always noticed the pistol.


There are stories of the "singing swords", what was equipped with the instrument, what keeps the sound, what caused pain. The blade has targeted the sound and the target was screaming with pain. After that, the inventor named Alessandro Volta created the sword where was the Volta's statue in the band. That sword gave electric shocks to the other persons if Volta used that sword against other people.


There were, of course, the "Black magic", that meant that the swords could load with electricity, what was created by using static electricity. In fact in the modern military sometimes have been tested the catapults and even the crossbows, what are equipped with dynamos. The fast rotating dynamos can store the high voltage electricity for the arrows, and that could make them excellent electromagnetic weapons, what could damage the electronic equipment.


Those arrows would not deliver their electricity, because the wooden structure would be a good electric insulator. And during the 30-years war, the crossbows were equipped with muskets, because that gave the shooter the change for two fast shots.   Also sometimes recon troops have damaged the electric high voltage lines by shooting arrows, where was connected the electric wires. When the wires have touched the cables, that can cause damages to the power circuits.


Modern people have given also some new names for the paintings. In the 4:41 the painting was renamed as the "MAV attack". But the purpose is only to tell, that people are talking everything, what those men have done. And picture what is at the 3:38 is renamed as "Knight gets equipment from the fourth dimension". The meaning of that picture is only the remember that the men could have secret orders for some situations. There are many interesting details in the film, what is in the link, what is below the text. The meaning of the cloud is, of course, bad news. And in some pictures, the meaning is the scare the people, that somebody would see, what people are doing, and if those men were drunk, they were killed very easily.

Antigravity will be the greatest thing. That we have ever created.

"Artistic depiction of a fictional anti-gravity vehicle" (Wikipedia, Anti-gravity) Sometimes, if the airships have the same lifting power as the weight of the airship.  It can act like some “antigravity system”. Those systems are based on lighter-than-air gas or hot air. The system can have a helium tank. And the hot-air section whose temperature can be adjusted using microwaves or particles that lasers warm. Those systems are faster to control than some gas flames. This makes it possible. To adjust the lifting power.  If a thing like a balloon has the same lifting power as its weight, the balloon can be lifted to a certain point and altitude. And the balloon stands at that point until something moves it. That kind of thing can make an impression. On the antigravity systems. Modern airships. Like Lockheed-Martin P-791 can look. Like a “UFO”. The system can use systems to move the craft. Or maybe those ion systems are used for plasma stealth systems, if those airships' mis...

Capitalism is a blessing and a curse.

Basically. There is nothing wrong with capitalism. The idea of capitalism is simple. If people like your products, they buy them. And that brings money to your bank accounts. If people don’t like our product, they don’t buy it. And that drives you into bankruptcy. That is the economic Darwinism. If the company cannot sell its products. That removes it from markets.  Other ways. We can say that if the company cannot answer those new challenges, it will be terminated immediately. In the Soviet Union, there was no capitalism. And the competition between companies. Did not exist. That caused a situation where the merchandise. With bad quality being. Entered. Into shops. Without competition, there was no development. And that turned those products old-fashioned. That raised the Soviets' addiction. To the natural resources. To get Western currency. They sold gas and oil to get dollars, which they needed to buy Western technology. That caused a situation. The Soviet technology started to ...

The problem with mirror life.

"Mirror life presents serious dangers, primarily due to its potential to interact unpredictably with the natural world. Without natural checks like predators or antibiotics, mirror organisms could replicate uncontrollably, creating risks that scientists are only beginning to understand. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, “Mirror Bacteria” Warning: A New Kind of Life Could Pose a Global Threat) When we think about artificial life, and especially mirror life. We must say. This technology. It can save billions of lives. But otherwise, those kinds of organisms could be hostile to their mirror forms. The shape of the mirror-life is like a form of a vampire. In movies, vampires look cute. But then. They show their real nature. The mirror-organisms are created for something. They look like original organisms. But they are AI-generated mirror-organisms. The purpose is to control things like hospital bacteria.  Mirror-life is the artificial life created by AI. And genologists. T...
