Interstellar travel and biotechnology

What if solar panels can benefit neutrinos for creating energy?

This is writing about a couple of hypothetical things that were invented for the hypothetical interstellar spacecraft.

What if we can make "Cherenkov's" solar panel? That theoretical system transforms neutrinos into energy. It operates by using a similar process that is used in a normal neutrino detector. The use of that system is maybe less effective than nuclear reactors, that thing can be used as the auxiliary power supply in extremely long-term space journeys. 

How to make electricity in interstellar space without nuclear reactors? One version is to make the solar panels, which are benefiting cosmic background radiation or Cherenkov radiation. The system would be acting like the neutrino detector. When the neutrino is hitting the panel, which is covered with extremely low-temperature ice, that impact would send the blue-light shockwave to the photovoltaic cells, and that electricity can send to the capacitor. The idea is like in a neutrino detector. Which collects energy by using the same technology with a neutrino detector. 

If the photovoltaic cells are collecting energy for years, that will raise the power of the system extremely high. The other version is to use the antenna, which is collecting the energy of the "cosmic hum" to Lorentz's strange attractor, where the power level will rise very high. Those systems might work as backup systems if the spacecraft must stop its nuclear reactors for some reason. 

Stephen King's book "The Tommyknockers" is introduced one of the most interesting and at the same time unique versions of the possible use of biotechnology in spacecraft. The spacecraft might have artificial muscles, what it can use to rotate the generator, what is giving the electric supply for it. 

If we are thinking of the possibility that the spacecraft uses an exercise cycle and generator for making electricity for its electric supply, we might laugh at that thing. But by using artificial muscles and limbs is possible to make the spacecraft, which is using the exercise cycle for making electricity for its systems. 

We are forgetting that the is no gravity or friction. The system might use a big plate, which is put to rotate. And that thing can create electricity in the space, where the solar panels cannot work. So in space and zero-gravity conditions is possible to put the powerful generator operate using the exercise cycle.

Can interstellar travel be possible without faster-than-light technology?

There is the possibility that by using advanced biotechnology and genetic engineering is possible to make the interstellar- or at least extremely long-term spaceflight without the need to break the light barrier. Most simply way, the crew of the craft will be clone when it's near the end of the journey. So the crew will send to the journey in the form of an embryo. Advanced biotechnology, which is combined with nanotechnology can make it possible to change the DNA in the nucleus of the cells. 

And when the space travelers are elding, the nanotechnology or nanorobots would remove their DNA, and replace it with DNA, which is made by using the information about just-born space travelers. Nanotechnology and genetic engineering makes also possible to create space travelers who can stay in hibernation extremely long time. The system can combine the genetic material with the cells from the tardigrade. That small animal can stay in hibernation for many years. 

And if the genomes that are giving the tardigrades that ability is combined with the genomes of an astronaut. That makes interesting possibilities. That is making that possible transfer to the cells of the space traveler. That makes it possible to make the real "space human" who can stay in hibernation for a very long time. 

And at the same time resists cosmic radiation.  In some ideas, the tardigrades would be infected by using viruses. Which is turning them into humans, and using genome transplants. When the new humans are created, the necessary skills and abilities will send straight to the nervous system of the clone by using radio waves. 

The problem with long-term space travel is the oscillation of the DNA. One version to deny that thing is to freeze the crew of the spacecraft to a temperature near zero kelvin degrees. That is denying the oscillation of the DNA. But that means the crew would not have the ability to do anything while they are traveling. 

In some of the most futuristic and imaginational scenarios, the crew would be stored in the liquid. That means that the crew would use the ultimate version of the liquid breathing system, staying and swimming in the liquid, which pressure is about 300 gigapascals.

In that extremely high pressure, the oscillation of the DNA would stop by using the pressure, but that requires that every single cell of those persons would pump with counter-pressure which is extremely high. That would keep those cells in form.

That system will be even more futuristic than some freezer, what decreases the temperature. But if that thing works, it makes it possible that the lifetime of the person is higher than in normal conditions, and the crew can stay awake during the entire space trip.  but as we know those kinds of things are pure imagination.
