The motorway and its role in the Internet designing

The motorway has been inspired the creators of the Internet. The International network is called the information superhighway, and the similarity with road and physical traffic is similar. The cars act like data packages and there are a crossroads and another kind of things in the physical world, what are in the different for on the Internet.  The international network is similar but different looking concept than the motorway, but the working principles are the same. When we are sending the data packages to the net, we would probably not know, that some packages have right of way right.


And they are allowed to go first in the net, and in those cases, the router would collect other packages in the memory, and store them until the right of way packages have passed that router. After that, they are allowed to continue their trip on the Internet. The Internet is more flexible than the motorway because it can fix its symmetry, and that would make possible to see the movies by using the net. The system would reserve more space in the cable in the side of incoming data traffic, and the sending side would not need to be so wide. In fact, one bit would be enough for uploading side during the movie.


If the person wants to use some other service during the movie, would the system release more width for that use. If somebody wants to upload photos or movies, would the bandwidth released more in that purpose, on the side of sending data. The idea is, that the system would tell the router before, that there would be coming more data than usual, and the router would adjust the width of the transmission. Also, the system tells the router, what homepage is on the top, and if the film is not interesting, can the system decrease the bandwidth, what is reserved for that movie.


If the motorways would be so flexible as the Internet is, the number of the lanes would be changed by need, and the traffic surveillance systems would tell the road information screens how many lanes can be used in another way traffic. The idea of this system bases the idea, that in many rush-hours the other side of the motorway is actually empty, and there could be taken extra lanes for traffic, but there is only one problem. The center barriers deny that thing. But if the markings would be clear, and the screens would tell the people, that the outer lanes are reserved for the people, who are going outside of the city area, could this system even work, and this would give the idea for flexible highways, and in somewhere they can already exist.

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
