Mathematicians created. A new way to predict the future.

“ An international team of mathematicians has developed a new predictive method called the Maximum Agreement Linear Predictor (MALP). Unlike traditional techniques that focus only on minimizing average errors, MALP optimizes the Concordance Correlation Coefficient (CCC) to maximize agreement between predictions and actual outcomes. Credit: Shutterstock” (ScitechDaily, Mathematicians Unveil a Smarter Way to Predict the Future)

“In statistics, the concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) measures the agreement between two variables, e.g., to evaluate reproducibility or for inter-rater reliability.” (Wikipedia, Concordance correlation coefficient)

“The team evaluated MALP using both computer simulations and real-world data, including eye scans and body fat measurements. To demonstrate its effectiveness, the researchers applied MALP to data from an ophthalmology study comparing two optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices: the older Stratus OCT and the newer Cirrus OCT. Because clinics are shifting to the Cirrus system, physicians need a reliable way to convert measurements to ensure consistency over time and across devices.” (ScitechDaily, Mathematicians Unveil a Smarter Way to Predict the Future)

“Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging technique with most of its applications in medicine and biology. OCT uses coherent near-infrared light to obtain micrometer-level depth resolved images of biological tissue or other scattering media. It uses interferometry techniques to detect the amplitude and time-of-flight of reflected light.”(Wikipedia, Optical coherence tomography)

There is a possibility of using the methods. That meant for OCT data processing to process data from the other sources. In those cases. Regular cameras and other sensors transmit data to the data-processing unit. That was originally created for the OCT. The sensor that transmits data is not important, and the software can make multiple analyses. From astronomy to sociology. In those other cases, the data portals that the system handles must only be renamed. The system must consider that the data it gets is not original medical data, and that’s why those systems must be calibrated for their other missions. 

The thing is that every single program. That can handle transformation in systems. It can predict the future. Like how the system grows. It can be used to predict. How all kinds of systems behave. If we want to transform systems that predict how the cancer grows. To predict how corruption behaves in socio-economic situations. Researchers must rename things. In those systems, the body can be the society. Immune cells can be law enforcement. etc. 

That can cause cancer. To actors who boost corruption. Things like carcinogens can be money that feeds corruption. Cancer cells can turn into corrupted officials. And free radicals. Are things. Like drug money. That thing can be used to predict how corruption spreads in the system. Of course, things like psychological effects. It can have a vital role in those things. The body that is polluted with carcinogens can be society. That accepts bibes. 

The digital twin of an average human can be used to create models. About how humans behave in certain situations. Those things are important when we try to predict the future. Like wars and peace. There are many things. That can cause war. And one of them is. The collapse in irrigation or food production. The other reason can be that. The ruler wants an outside enemy. There, the dictator can turn people's focus. When they start to call for new elections. 

The mathematical model to predict the future is quite simple. The system must just compile things that happened in the past. Then the system must collect all data about the natural, sociological, and political environments. And then the system predicts those values in a modern environment. This idea is taken from psychological models. That all humans behave in similar ways. In similar situations. There are always exceptions to the common models. Those exceptions are people who behave differently from the so-called average or standard person. Those people are people who behave differently, like schizophrenia patients. But for creating the mathematical version of average humans. 

The system must know how the majority of people behave. And the system uses that data. To create an average person’s digital twin. And then the system follows how the average person behaves using that model. There are also other types of exceptions. And one is people who have a very large media audience. Those people can escalate their opinions into a very large area. Those large-scale exceptions are the reasons why making predictions of the future is so difficult. 

Prediction of the future means. The system connects databases together, and then. It starts to find similarities in the modern world. “This new approach aims to generate predictions that align more closely with actual outcomes. The researchers call it the Maximum Agreement Linear Predictor, or MALP. The method achieves higher consistency by optimizing the Concordance Correlation Coefficient (CCC), a metric that evaluates how well pairs of data points align along the 45-degree line of a scatter plot.” (ScitechDaily, Mathematicians Unveil a Smarter Way to Predict the Future)

A small particle with big possibilities.

“A new global study uncovers surprising behavior in the universe’s most elusive particles, hinting at answers to why anything exists at all. Credit: Stock” (ScitechDaily, This Strange Particle May Hold Clues to the Universe’s Biggest Secrets)

A neutrino is a small, weakly interacting particle. Neutrino is one of the Fermions. Or, sharper saying, leptons, like electrons, muons, and tau particles, are. That particle can carry information from the Big Bang or black holes. Neutrinos can also scan or tunnel through ultra-dense materials. And that means they can uncover secrets of planets' cores and neutron stars. 

That particle that is hoped to uncover secrets of the universe. Neutrinos can transmit information from the beginning of the universe. But that requires. The neutrino will not hit any target. If a neutrino hits something. That causes a situation where the impact with other particles destroys information. The neutrino is a very similar particle to muons and other Fermions. That means Neutrino can be a very small particle that has a very large quantum field. And that quantum field allows the neutrino to tunnel through the matter. The neutrino interaction is possible. And those impacts happen sometimes. 

But the neutrino interaction is possible only in the cases where the neutrino interacts with another particle precisely when the neutrino’s core or the most dense point of that particle impacts the other particle. Otherways. Researchers can observe neutrinos in cases. When a neutrino impacts water in absolute darkness. In that case. The neutrino slows its speed. And. It sends a blue light flash. Called Cherenkov radiation. When a neutrino impacts water, it faces the situation where the speed of light slows in water. And in that moment. The neutrino slows its speed. When a neutrino impacts water. In a short moment, it travels faster than the speed of light in water. 

“Figure 1: Top: At high temperature, rubidium atoms decay radioactively through electron capture, releasing neutrinos incoherently. Bottom: At sufficiently low temperatures, the atoms form a Bose-Einstein condensate that could act as a “neutrino laser,” emitting a bright, coherent, directional beam of neutrinos.” (https://physics.aps.org/articles/v18/157)

And in that moment. A neutrino must release its energy, and we see that thing as the blue light shockwave. This is the reason why we see blue sky. Particles that hit the atmosphere slow their speed and send Cherenkov radiation. Neutrino is a particle that can have many possible uses. In quantum technology. But it's hard to control. Researchers at MIT published a paper. That handles neutrino lasers. The neutrino laser is a tool that uses neutrinos as a beam. Those systems can make it possible. To scan an atom’s internal structures or transport information through the walls. The neutrino-antineutrino annihilation can form radiation, which can tell about the internal structures of the material. 

There is some kind of suspicion that neutrinos. That impact in the underground. Sensors are forming in some kind of interaction in the atmosphere or underground. When a particle. Maybe another neutrino impacts a particle. In the atmosphere. or underground, it can send neutrinos on a journey to that sensor. We know that neutrino bursts are in those sensors. Have a connection with things like supernova explosions. The fact is that normal nuclear reactors also form neutrinos. It is also possible to create neutrinos in laboratories. 

But there are suspicions that some of the neutrinos. That we can detect form in so-called billiard ball impacts. There are some particles that interact with particles in the atmosphere. If those particles are real, there is something strange in the universe.

The thermal effect of the Enceladus moon and the Taurid meteorite shower.

“How we think hydrothermal activity works on Enceladus, based on data from the NASA/ESA Cassini-Huygens mission. Credit: ESA”  (ScitechDaily, NASA Finds Hidden Heat on Saturn’s Icy Moon Enceladus, Hinting at Life)

Researchers found a new heat source in Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus. That heat can form in water flows on that icy moon. Low gravity and a quite close distance to the giant planet Saturn can cause whirls in that moon’s water layers. That means tidal forces can keep the ocean under Enceladus’ icy shell in liquid form. On that moon, tidal forces have a much stronger effect than on Earth. 

The moon’s low gravity means that water can stay liquid at much lower temperatures than on Earth.  The low gravity on Enceladus keeps water molecules at a greater distance. From each other. There are models that suggest Enceladus could be a harbour. For some kind of lifeforms. There could be living organisms in that water. The heat source on that distant moon can be friction in that icy water. 

“This year’s “Halloween fireballs” are stunning to watch, but scientists say they may carry a warning from space. Credit: Shutterstock” (ScitechDaily, The Stunning Meteor Shower That Has Scientists Worried)

Meteorite showers are one of the things that should worry people. 

Meteorite showers form when large groups of small meteorites fall into the Earth's atmosphere. If those meteorites involve lots of iron, they travel to the poles. And that forms a beautiful sight. But the problem is that. Those meteorites or meteoroids can hit satellites. That thing can cause a situation. Where a large number of satellites will be broken. When a meteoroid hits the satellite, it has the same effect as bullets.

The difference between a meteoroid and a meteorite is that a meteoroid is a small meteorite that burns in the atmosphere. The stone that hits the ground is called a meteorite. Meteorite showers can cover the space from the ground-based observations. That causes a situation. Where meteorite showers can harm deep-sky surveillance. But. Their biggest problem is that those meteoroids can form an ionized gas layer, which causes problems for radar-based surveillance. And if those meteoroids impact many satellites, that can knock out systems like GPS and Starlink.

The minitanks are coming back.

“Meet FireAnt: US firm unveils mini ‘tank-killer’ robot built to hunt heavy armor” (MSN)

Have you ever heard of TK and TKS tankettes? Those little reconnaissance vehicles used by the Polish army in 1939. They were helpless against the Panzer IV. The reason for that was the lack of lightweight and effective anti-tank weapons. The 30-40 mm gun with a hollow grenade (HEAT). Or a bazooka could make those systems a little bit more effective than they were. 

There are models. If those small vehicles can carry anti-tank weapons. Like heavy bazookas or modern anti-tank missiles, they could be more useful as support vehicles. In some models. Those TKS vehicles’ modern variants. Can operate as the unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) that can be wire- or AI-guided systems. 

Unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) can make reconnaissance missions. Or they can shoot enemies. Those systems can also. Make kamikaze missions. Like other drones. Other drones or manned systems can also transport those UGV-drones to their operational area. And they can attack the main battle tanks, or if they are released to places like airbases, those systems can move. In places. Like aircraft bunkers. The kamikaze version can also carry anti-tank missiles. And they can be dangerous to any targets. There are also scenarios introduced that UGVs can look like. Even a limousine. 

“TK prototype nr. 6007 in its final form with roof hatches open. According to the TK-3 standard (it might be a rebuilt TK-2). Note a horizontal angle of MG fire and two side observation hatches, present in early series TK-3 only.” (Wikipedia,. TKS)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXexKLje4N4

“German demolition vehicles "Goliath" E-Motor” (Wikipedia, Goliath tracked mine)

“A Gladiator tactical unmanned ground vehicle” (Wikipedia, Unmanned ground vehicle)

Those systems can slip in places like drug cartel bosses' mansions. And then detonate themselves there. In some versions. Some presidents’ personal limousine. Or its copy is loaded with a neutron bomb. And then detonate in some airbases. These kinds of systems are always possible to make. The worst version of those robot systems can be trucks. That drive to the military base. And detonate themselves. There was once a suspicion that Ukrainians used a remotely controlled truck to detonate the bridge that connects the Crimean peninsula to Russia. 

The idea of ground-moving UGV is not new. The first versions of those systems were operated by the German military in 1944. Those ground-moving, remotely detonated mines called “Goliaths”  successfully operated in the Warsaw street fights during the Warsaw Uprising. The UGV is basically a car bomb that can operate in many areas. The flexibility of those systems makes them very dangerous. The large-sized UGV drone can release other drones from its cargo systems. So, when some guards stop that vehicle at the gates, drone swarms can be released. 

The human-shaped robots that mimic humans make those systems even harder to control. We all heard about the ultra-realistic baby dolls. That looks like real human babies. But there is a possibility of creating a human-shaped robot. That looks like Vladimir Putin. The robot can walk into the headquarters and then detonate itself. The robot can also sit in the limousine's backseat. When that remotely controlled system travels in the military base. Those things are real threats in modern times.

The hidden side of light can transform electronics.

“Illustrative scenario of HHG at Terahertz frequencies, induced by the pumping of a 2.5 W power THz QCL on a Topological insulator SRR. Credit: Alessandra Di Gaspare et al.” (ScitechDaily, Scientists Unlock a Hidden Side of Light That Could Transform Technology)

Optical data transmission is much safer. Than radiowave transmission. Ultra-secure laser data transmission has one little problem. Those laser rays don’t travel through the walls. It’s easy to jam the laser data transmitter simply by putting a wall between the transmitter and receiver. There is a possibility of using some other types of electromagnetic radiation to transmit data. One of those radiation types is terahertz radiation. 

What if you can break light into the terahertz (THz) area and then turn it back to light? This could make a new advance in electronics. It’s possible to make new and faster communication. By using light and THz radiation together. In the simplest binary systems, the THz radiation can mean zero, and the light can mean one. If those bits are numbered, the system can transmit data very fast. But the thing. That makes THz radiation a very interesting tool; it is a simple thing. THz radiation can travel through walls. That allows researchers to create a communication system that is. Hard to eavesdrop. If the system can transform the radiation wavelength. between Thz and light. This makes it easier to cover information. 

“A new global study uncovers surprising behavior in the universe’s most elusive particles, hinting at answers to why anything exists at all. Credit: Stock” (ScitechDaily, This Strange Particle May Hold Clues to the Universe’s Biggest Secrets)

The ability to transmit data through walls is one of the things. That limits the quantum network creation. One of those solutions can be a low-power X-ray laser. Those systems are dangerous to humans, but it's possible to aim for coherent X-ray radiation. Makes it possible to position those systems. To a level. Their radiation will not touch people. 

Another possibility to transmit data in qubits is neutrinos. A neutrino is a so-called ghost particle that can travel through walls and even through planets and stars.  Those particles can allow for the transmission of data as real qubits. In the perfect quantum networks, data that travels in the qubits is connected to particles. The system can work like this: the network stops the neutrino at the beginning of the nano-tube-based system. 

There, the system can transport data into that neutrino qubit. And then send it through the quantum network. In those systems, the lasers can aim the qubit in the right direction. The system uses laser LEDs like a pinball. Those systems push neutrinos into the right tracks. This system requires a lot of new technology. The ability to create neutrino qubits would be as fundamental a thing as the internet itself. The neutrinos’ features make them very hard to control.  But maybe. They can someday transport data over the quantum networks.

Starcloud: research for orbital space data centers.

"Starcloud plans to build a 5-gigawatt orbital data center with super-large solar and cooling panels approximately 4 kilometers in width and length. (Image credit: Starcloud)"(Space.com, Powerful NVIDIA chip launching to orbit next month to pave way for space-based data centers)

Data satellites mean orbital platforms. That involves computers. And those satellites share their processor capacity with other computers. Those orbital computer centers will get their energy from solar panels. The data center can be based on a modular or cloud-based architecture. The fact is that a single computer module does not require large rockets. Those AI-driven systems can make it possible. For those systems that can automatically dock with each other. Or they can start to communicate. With each other using wireless technology. 

Orbital data centers are one possible answer. To the data centers’ energy problems. Those data centers are made using satellites. That docked into one entirety. Or. Another solution can be a network-based architecture, where the data-satellites communicate with each other, using laser or coherent radiowave-based communication. In those systems, data security requires systems that can communicate with methods. That allows for protecting data transmission from outsiders. Another problem for those systems is that they are targets for ground-based anti-satellite systems. 

The size of those systems will be far bigger than anything else. The size of those data centers will be enormous. The size of a 5 GW data center will be enormous. They will need 4 square kilometers of solar panels. 

The fact is that those data centers can also be used to control probes, other satellites, and for many other purposes. The data station can exchange data between ground stations. They can exchange data. Also with aircraft and other aerial and sea-based platforms. Airship-based platforms can use the air turbines for energy production.

There are also ideas introduced about the airship- or sea-based data centers. Those data centers can be dropped into the sea. And then that system can get energy from water flows. The system can have a tube that is vertically positioned. And then the water flow that travels through that tube rotates the turbine. Or the seawater can be used as a cooler for the miniature nuclear reactors.

The DNA molecule is a powerful tool for guiding chemical reactions.

“Ionic interactions involving DNA phosphates are ubiquitous and essential across all kingdoms of life. For the first time, their catalytic potential has been demonstrated in a variety of asymmetric transformations through ion-pairing interactions in water. Credit: National University of Singapore” (ScitechDaily, Chemists Discover Unexpected New Way to Use DNA)

The DNA has phosphate parts that can be used to control other molecules. That effect should deny the formation of the mirror molecules. It is an extremely important thing. In medical chemistry. May medical molecules have the right effect only if they enter the cell in the right way. If a molecule travels the wrong way through the ion pumps. 

That molecule will cause a dangerous effect. Medical molecules are very complicated. They must act precisely right. And this makes cis-trans isomerism very important. The mirror molecule can even destroy the unwanted cells. 

“In nature, DNA and proteins naturally attract one another because of their opposite charges. DNA’s phosphate groups carry negative charges, while many of the building blocks that make up proteins are positively charged” (ScitechDaily, Chemists Discover Unexpected New Way to Use DNA). 

As a result, there, the phosphate pushes molecules and ions with a negative charge and pulls anions into it. Making it possible to use that effect also in nanotechnology, where phosphate pushes and pulls ions and anions in the small-scale nanostructures. 

This thing can make it possible. To create more complicated nanosystems. And in those processes, DNA and its phosphate act as a magic stick. That can push and pull wanted molecules. These kinds of nanotweezers can push and pull molecules and atoms more sensitively than some lasers or acoustic beams can.
