Earth black box

11.12.2021

In Australia, the "Black Box of the Earth" will be installed - it will record the history of the last years of mankind. The project is being implemented by Clemenger BBDO. Scientists at the University of Tasmania are also working on the black box.

The "Black Box of the Earth" should record information about all the achievements of human civilization. It will be needed by the future highly developed inhabitants of the Earth, if people suddenly die out in the event of a natural disaster or a global war.

The device will collect and record important information in real time. We are talking about the demography of mankind, changes in air temperature, fluctuations in the level of the world ocean. The box will also describe endangered species of plants and animals, will constantly monitor the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As for culture and key events, information will be taken from the Internet.

The "Black Box of the Earth" is equipped with reliable SSD drives. Estimated data storage time is 50 years. Then the information will be overwritten. In the future, scientists want to replace SSDs with steel plates that can store data for thousands of years.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Wormhole transport network 26.03.2022

Scientists suggest that evidence for the existence of such a transport network may lie in the data already collected.

There has long been an idea in science fiction that highly advanced alien civilizations could create a transport network of wormholes throughout the universe. And perhaps humanity has already found this network.

Such assumptions are still just theories, but they intrigue some scientists. Astrophysicist from Nagoya University (Japan) Fumio Abe says that perhaps humanity has already recorded a similar network in the universe, but lost evidence in a sea of other data. The expert believes that such evidence can be found if the data is reanalyzed.

"If wormholes with a throat radius of 100 to 10 million km are associated with our Milky Way and are as common as ordinary stars, then we can detect them by reanalyzing data from past years," says Abe.

According to the theory, wormholes are theoretical tunnels with two ends at different points in time and space. Wormholes do not violate Einstein's general theory of relativity, but science still has no idea if "wormholes" exist.

Scientists speculate that it took an astronomical amount of energy to keep the wormhole "operating".

"The wormhole, which is inherently unstable, needs a 'stuff' with repulsive gravity to keep the passage open. Such an energy would be equivalent to that emitted by a significant proportion of the stars in the galaxy," the expert notes.

If aliens created a network of such wormholes, they could be detected using gravitational microlensing. This method has already been used to detect thousands of distant exoplanets and stars.

In addition, there is another way to detect advanced alien civilizations. For example, the search for theoretical megastructures that are located around stars and use their energy. Scientists can also search for habitable planets by the pollution in their atmospheres.
