The funny coincidence between forms.

Picture I https://metsantarinoita.blogspot.com/ Kimmo Huosionmaa There is some strange coincidence in the world, what is stimulated the imagination of the humans. Here is the couple of them. In the upper picture (Picture I), the wet tiles forming the thing, what seems like the message, what is sent from Arecibo radio telescope during Ozma-project (Picture II). I know that those forms on the wall are only a coincidence, but that would cause many thoughts in the mind of the people. Picture II And the picture at the below brings in the mind the barcodes (Picture III). Those scratches are at the side of the smoke pipe have formed when that thing has been transferred (Picture IV) But in the mind of people would be brought that this thing has been marked with barcodes for some reason. That kind of coincidence is, of course, creepy, but they are caused by accident. Nobody can deny the addict of those kinds of things, and maybe some writer would get new ideas from those pictur...

The Quicksilver and its usage in the optical and radiotelescopes

Arecibo telescope (Picture I) https://pimeakronikka.blogspot.com/p/the-quicksilver-and-its-usage-in.html Kimmo Huosionmaa Only liquid metal in nature is Quicksilver, what is used in thermometers. But this element can be used in the optical telescopes. In this system, the Quicksilver would be the tip in the dish, what is rotating at very high speed, and this rotating makes the metal act like water and forming the parabolic mirror, what can use in the optical telescopes. The problem with this kind of mirrors is that they are suitable only in the zenith mirrors, what are looking straight upwards. The best example of zenith-telescopes is the largest single antenna radiotelescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. This zenith telescope has brought in the mind the thing, that Quicksilver is also metal, what conducts electricity. So this liquid metal can also be used for large radiotelescopes, where rotating dish would make the parabolic form for that system. Here I would return to write abo...
