Is the internet putting us together as giant "gaia"?

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Have you ever heard term “you can kill my body but not my soul"? Did you ever think what that actually means? Those words sound like that person’s thinking is copied to somewhere, and I always wanted to know did those people really think, that their EEG have been saved to somewhere? In this writing, EEG means thinking, and I begin that thinking is a soul of the people. In this scenario, man is equipped with WLAN-implants what copies his EEG for every second of the person's life to the Internet.

But if the man uses those implants we might put every human on this planet together. This means that we would have the greatest supercomputer what man can ever think. In this scenario, human brains will connect together, for a great supercomputer. The problem of non-organic or conventional supercomputers is that they don’t have imagination. They can process information what human give to them, but they can’t create new things spontaneously.

All human civilization brains links together with the Internet. But in real life that means people, that all humans will go to some kind of Brahman, and all our race will become one supermind, what can create new things. But when we are talking about that theoretical giant knowledge, we might think that probably that will be our destiny. In some weird theories is an aspect that human organism is a part of gigantic knowledge, and the nucleus in this new age theory is that human is some kind of probe, who walks on the ground and sends data to that informative Gaia.

But in this scenario the man losses own personality. People are like members of giant liquid, what is made for collective information and knowledge. In that scenario, there is no need for unique human been and that kind of scenario of giant collective mind of the civilization. That scenario was in one Sci-Fi movie, where humanoids created giant massive supercomputer, by connecting human brains together with computerized EEG-systems. That kind of “biocomputer” might be colossal but same time frighten vision, what computing might look like in the world of future.

This scenario is very interesting because connecting the brains together, we will make ourselves as a giant computer. But if we will live in a virtual reality world like in some movie, we must realize that will be the end of human race. We will become a part of gigantic supersystem, where is no need for peoples unique skills and personalities. Is this what we want our workers to become? Some giant super collective mind is the worst scenario what futurologists can imagine.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

(Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft. Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things. In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion. If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful. Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down. The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts. The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
