"The Wall" is the Saudi Arabian urban marvel or nightmare.

 "The Wall" is the Saudi Arabian urban marvel or nightmare. 

"The Wall" (Actually The Line) is straight from some SciFi movies. That structure is 170 kilometers long, 200 meters wide, and 500 meters high mega-house. That kind of structure would covered by using mirrors. And that giant house would produce its energy by using wind, sun, and geothermal energy. 

Some people say that "the Wall" is a maniac structure whose maintenance costs so much that it will never be autotrophic. Some people say that the purpose of Saudi Arabian megastructures like the "giant cube" in Riyadh is to offer a place or fortress for the Saudi elite. That mega-size skyscraper would be the largest building on our planet. 


"The Line is a planned city in Saudi Arabia, designed to be a 170 km long, 200 meters wide, and 500 meters high string of skyscrapers with a population density ten times that of Manhattan. However, researchers from the Complexity Science Hub argue that its linear design is inefficient, hindering active mobility and necessitating a high-speed rail system that would still result in longer commutes than in other major cities.

"‘The Mukaab’, which translates to cube, a mammoth 400 metre long, wide and deep structure in the Saudi capital Riyadh (New Murabba Development Company)" ( https://www.middleeasteye.net/ New Kaaba’: Saudi Arabia plans to build giant cube building in Riyadh)


Those extremely large houses offer the possibility that Saudi leaders or the royal family of Saudi Arabia can isolate themselves from the regular people. The security in those giant "one-house cities" will be extremely high. And the AI-based applications are working with security and things that make feeling comfortable. There is a vision that in the future people will live in cities that are extremely large houses, where energy production is done by using green energy. 

Those houses would involve food production units like plantages and laboratories where meat is grown from cell cultures. In plans, people will travel in the Wall by using high-speed trains. There would be three lines that allow flexible transportation inside the house. But the problem is what if a high-speed train loses its control, and smashes to the farthest end? The idea in those three lines will be simple. 

The fastest line would probably have only three or four stops. The farthest points in that city and one is in the middle of it. We can call this line as "red line". Then the yellow or middle-speed line has more stations. And then the purpose of the green line is to transport people between yellow-line stations. This slowest train line may use independent trains between yellow stations. So there is an independent individual train between two yellow stations. And that allows people to travel flexibly inside that building.

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.

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
