The secrets of the art of Maurits Escher


Picture I

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The Dutch artist Maurits Escher is well known for his many drawings, what are a good example of surrealistic and awesome sharp way to make the images of the mind possible. When we are looking about two of his work Relativity (1953) and Dream (Mantis Religiosa, 1935) we must see how this artist will handle the space and nightmares.


In the first portrait, the room might seem like supernatural or impossible, but in somehow we can imagine that this space is in somewhere, where the things are flowing like in the outside of gravity field. I think that some people will be inspired by this particular work for thinking, what kind of space would be space station for working area.

In my eyes, those characters, what are portrayed in this drawing, those men might be astronauts or robots, what are walking in some non-gravitation area, where they need the magnets under their shoes, and in some imagination views or visions, I can see that those characters are robots, what takes their electricity straight from the floor, by the electrodes, what is put on their feet, and the robot can use the power lines what is hidden inside the floor, there is another version of this portrait.

Another version is Relativity (1953) and there is the picture of the situation, where nobody is giving orders to the robots, what are walking the endless route in the chairs because nobody is giving orders to stop the movement. When we are talking about the "brother" of those paintings "The House of Stairs" (1951) I can see the robots, what can take the form of the wheel, when they need to run fast, and their mission is to protect and serve those "spacemen", what are in my imagination transforming the persons, who lives in the fictional space station, what is rolling in the empty space.

The rolling movement will cause the synthetic gravitation field, what makes the moving like on Earth possible in that fictional "space cube". In the Dream, Maurits Escher will bring the mind of the people the horrifying situation, where the vampire or whatever monster will become the sleeping person mind, and in the dream world, everything will be real and possible. But there is another way to think, and maybe Escher saw the bodyguard in this large Mantis, what might fly to protect its master, the sleeping Egyptian priest.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (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.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. 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
