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.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

   "This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things.  That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

  "An illustration of NASA’s research plane ER-2 flying over thunderstorms. Credit: University of Bergen / Mount Visual (CC BY 4.0), edited" (ScitechDaily, Surprising Discovery: NASA’s Retrofitted U2 Spy Plane Reveals Tropical Lightning Storms Are Radioactive) The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries.  "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

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
