The strange detail in the movie "Metropolis"

At the above, this text is a screenshot from the movie "Metropolis", that is directed by Fritz Lang in 1927. The eyes of the woman are looking like there are the pupils like reptilian or snakes. Those eyes can of course modified by some propagandist, who wanted to create fear against that kind of people. But those strangely shaped pupils is caused because that woman would be so-called "Reptilian hybrid" or "Werewolf". In the second picture, you might see this strange detail more clearly.


In that scene is a group of children, who are acting very nervous. And sometimes I have thought, that maybe Lang's idea was to show, what the humiliation and home violence could be done. In that scene is the reply "those are your brothers". And the idea is to show, what kind of differences the eldest son could get.

In that scene is the idea, that the first children get benefits like parties and other siblings of the series would pay those benefits. In this movie is the idea, that if the people are like robots, would the result be devastating. In some other movies and books is the same kind of ideas, that the firstborn would get everything, what he or she can ask, and then the other members of the family must pay those benefits. The film "Metropolis"  is very good to look even in the modern era.


But my personal opinion is, that the strange form of the pupils is caused by some propagandist. When we are using our imagination, we could create theories, that this woman has been in some kind of nerve-gas test. In those tests were used atropine for denying the effect of the nerve agent, that would pass the protective suit.

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

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
