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.

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
