Writings about things, what are actually opinions. (Fermi's paradox and Drake equation)

There are people, who do not understand one thing when we are writing something, we have the right to tell our opinion about that. And one of the things, what seems to cause very strong feelings are writings about SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and aliens. Writings about those things are actually opinions. When we are writing about some kind of extraterrestrial civilizations, we are always facing the Fermi's paradox and Drake equation where that physician or astronomer calculated his famous formula, that if the known habitable civilizations are the division with the known planets, we could get the percent of planets, where are civilizations.


When we are thinking about Drake's formula, we must ask why this man didn't make it more simple to understand.  The number of known civilization in time when Drake wrote his formula was one. And the number of known planets was nine because Pluto was a planet at that time. So the Fermi paradox and Drake's formula should go was in that time 1/9*100. Now this formula goes that the number is very much lower than in Drake's time. And the Fermi's paradox is always connected with Drake's formula. In the real life, Drake's formula is more complicated than this formula, what I wrote here.



And in this case we are facing the truth, that everything when we are thinking about that paradox we are facing that we are writing about opinions of that formula. When we are discussing with the doctor of philosophy about that thing, we must realize that this person would always win us, by claiming that we would find another civilization after 100 years. Every time when we are talking about extraterrestrial intelligence, we are talking about our own opinions about that question. We always forget that extraterrestrial life form could be some kind of vegetable. Even if the planet is covered by vegetables and forests, that would not actually mean, that there would be animals at all, and this is the very interesting thing.


When we are thinking about aliens or some intelligent life form, we are forgetting that the "alien" can be created by the human by connecting the genomes of animals to human DNA, and that makes possible to create alien in the terrestrial laboratories. Aliens are the very interesting object for discussions, but when we are thinking about the shape of those strange forms, we might think about the person, who thinks with the different way than other persons.



So in this case, we might think the alien some kind of individualist, or something, what we could ever imagine. When we are thinking about reptilian hybrids, we could face the creature, what would be easy to follow. If that creature makes the things in some secret organization, that thing would ever give any information to unauthorized organizations. And it would not officially exist, what makes it easy to control. In this case, the scientist would create the creature for making secret missions for the governments or private corporations.

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.

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
