The slow version of "Star Trek's" material transfer system (3D-Bioprinters)



(Picture I)

This text is still in fiction, but after a couple of years, we can probably make copies of human bodies. If the system can make copies of organs, it can copy all body. There is a very funny thing in my mind about the "material transfer system", what is used in "Star Trek". This system bases a joke, where some laboratory worker ask another one "what kind of goo, is flowing out from that test tube"? And this is so-called "slow material transfer".


The slow version of that material transfer system is actually spacecraft, or probe, what is equipped with a 3D-bioprinter, and the tissue culture, what is used in future to print organs for some patient. In this version, all tissues of the persons, who would be wanted to transfer would be planted, by taking all organ of that person a tissue sample and after that those tissues would be cultured in some dishes in laboratories.


In to those cells can transfer the genomes, what makes them multiply extremely fast, and in theory that would allow copying human body in a couple of months, and when there would be enough cells, could those genomes removed by using nanotechnology.  And then those tissues would be the load to that probe. Then that probe would be landed, and then 3D bioprinters would start to make the copy of that person, and when the body is ready, would the EEG-be transferred to the brains by using electric shock equipment.


And after that, the heart would be started with the electric shock. I got this idea from those 3D-bioprinters, what are planned to make organs by using tissue cultures, and those systems can be used to get new livers to persons, who are getting cancer in that organ. And also other organs like heart and eyes are planned to make with that system, and if that system can make copies of every organ in the human body, can it make copies of humans. And this kind of things is very fascinating but scary.


Only thing, what those systems need is to get only one cell from every organ, and then it can copy the body. Neurons can be made from other cells by using retroviruses, what transforms the cells to other. In that case, we could, in theory, take any cells, and replace their genomes by using retroviruses, what would transfer right genomes to those cells. This kind of technology is a quite scary thing, and it can be used in some dark operations to hide the loss of the operator.

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.

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
