Thoughts about the old milestone and old road in Espoo (Life is a road, I want to keep going)

The old milestone

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Many memories are connected to scenes or landscapes. And there are many marks about how the advancing of the city and growing population changes the area and the lines of the roads, but there are still marks from the past times when the cars were smaller and driving speed was lower. Above the text is a picture of the old milestone, what is at the side of the old footpath in the city of Espoo. Of course, that milestone can be carried that place from somewhere else, but maybe that brought some thoughts about chance in my mind. And writing is the nice hobby, and I would like to tell those thoughts to you.

That kind of milestones are not made anymore, or they are on the side of bigger roads, and this picture remains, that in the past the roads were quite different than today. Today this old road does not even have the snow plow in winter time, and it tells something, how the road lines are changed in history. In the past, this road had some kind of meaning because there is a milestone, but then everything changed, and today the line of the main road is in the different place.

But that milestone remembers us, what kind of people lived in here near the capital in a couple of decades ago. The main roads were quite smaller than today, and this footpath is now only the memory from the times, where there were many agricultural fields. But then the price of the ground was raised, and that meant the farmers moved away and sold their farms to the city or building companies.

That meant the end of the agriculture here, near the capital of Finland, but there are many memories about those times, like straight ditches, what are still marking the places of the fields, even this area is now full of trees, and it's now forest area. But in the bottom of the forest is very easy to see the lines of ditches, what is filled with water in autumns and springs. This tells how long those marks of farms are staying in nature.

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.

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.

(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
