The Invisibility

Hi Readers,

Its been more than weeks since I wrote something on sci-fi stuff here on the blog. Well let me present something related to invisibility. What is invisibility in real? What would you consider to be invisible? The answer is simple that something that is not possible to see with our eyes. I hope most of you have seen a Hollywood movie “The hollow man”, this movie is quite a nice depiction of invisibility science. If you really think that this hollow man freak is possible as if now than you are surely mistaken but we cannot deny the fact that this isn't possible in future.

So, the question is that is it possible to make someone or something invisible? The answer is yes, it is possible. To know how it is possible, we need to have a little idea of Physics and all that "reflection/refraction blah blahs". According to it, when a light beam strikes an object it gets reflected to our eyes and then only we are able to see the object but sometimes if light beam passes through the object without getting reflected back to our eyes, the object becomes transparent but not completely invisible as it happens with glass since a little part of light beam is reflected back to our eyes. So, if we consider this and try to think that how to deflect the light beam striking an object and not letting it reach the eye, then we can make the object invisible. This is a hard part to achieve since at some angle it is possible that the light beam is reflected to our eyes after striking the object.

I have heard some news regarding this invisibility experiments by scientists though they have not tried this light beam deflection phenomenon as per my information but they have tried some camouflage thing and camera use invisibility. Camouflage thing works in the same way as what the reptile chameleon does to hide. Actually this thing is the use of surrounding color and scene to hide oneself. This is quite lame for scientists to use since it is not actual invisibility. Its like they want to say “it meant the same thing”. The camera use invisibility is like both the sides of an object is having cameras and the video is streamed on the opposite side of camera on a screen. So when you look into the one side of object you see the other side picture making it feel like you are seeing on the other side. This is quite close but need more work to perfect it. There are various lacking in these two process.

Let us get back to what I had in mind, if you consider the light beam deflection theory and let us assume that we achieve this than also I would say that when you touch the invisible object, you should be able to go through it completely, think it like a ghost from which you can pass through. Well if you are thinking that the first part is itself hard and now I am adding new stuff into that and making it harder than you are wrong, what would be invisibility if you cannot make an object untouchable as well. But how to make it untouchable, quite tough though so what I had in mind is to use nano technology in this case. What we can do is, create an object which is a combination of nano robots or nanobots. All these nanobots should have light beam deflection feature and also they should be breakable when ever we try to move towards them they can break and move away and again fuse to form the object. At least in this way we are not able to touch them.

I hope you all have some idea on nanotechnology, if not please try Google, it works. Please share your comments and ideas if you have any. You are most welcome to share this post if you like.

Brainiac: The Artificial Intelligent Robotic Brain

Hi Readers,

Our brain is a very powerful organ in our body. Its quite equivalent to a hard drive on PC though it is a volatile and non volatile storage at the same time. How can I say so that its volatile and non-volatile both? Well its a good question so let me tell you what it actually means. There are incidents or things that we often forget until we have this so called “Photographic memory”. Thus forming a volatile memory. Also, it happens that somethings we never forget until we have “loss of memory”. Thus forming a non-volatile memory at the same time. Let me give you an example as well, “Tell me your name..... you remember it at any time you are asked for it” but if I ask you what is the meaning of “Chronaphilus”, I am sure you would need a dictionary to tell me its meaning. Before you search for the word in dictionary, let me tell you there is no meaning for it as I made it up.

Since humans have already designed robots good enough to move, then there lies a question that can we create a artificial intelligent human robot who has feeling like us, thinks and understands like us. I am sure we can do it. So to make them feel like us, the robot needs to understand pain, happiness, anger, other emotions as well but the part where they can think and make decision comes is quite tough, we can write codes in them to let them know what to do in what circumstance but that is going to take forever as there are lot of decision to make instead we can allow them to learn it by themselves. To make a computer think and decide by learning, what we need to do is to teach it. Teaching in the sense start from A for Apple and continue until they know it all. Well its just to make it familiar to words and things. 

Now, still the question stands that how would they know that decision they will make is right or wrong. The answer is quite simple, that how we do it our self.  Let me tell you this with an example, suppose we have an apple with us and you don't know what to do with it but you know its an apple, the choices you have it is to eat it or leave it but whether we need to eat it or leave it depends upon our previous experiences with an apple. May be you knew that you need to eat an apple but when you ate it for first time, you find it rotten and tasteless and you decided not to eat it next time. But may be next time you find a fresh and nicest apple and when you try it that time, you decide to eat it every time until its rotten. So now you know that what to do with an apple when its rotten and when its fresh. Similarly we all make our daily decision for each and every thing in life and that is comparing our experiences of past and present to make a current or future decision.

Not only self doing acts but also the things that we see or feel daily, makes our decision. For an example that, think that you don't know what will happen if you cut a tree, you never cut it yourself because you don't know its consequence but one day you see a person cutting a tree and now you know that the tree will fall on the ground. So we know that similarly a robot with a permanent storage system can understand and make decision by itself by its past experience. The only thing we need to do is to teach it from basics till end. There is a caution notice here that artificial intelligent robots are still a bad option if they turn out to be cylons or terminators perhaps and then decide to kick your ass and kill you.

Awaiting your comments. I hope you all like it.

DREAM

Hi Readers,

Today I decided to write somthing about one of the interesting topic “DREAM”. Well its nothing to do with some sort of technolgy, its just for to increase limits of your thinking. I invite you all to think and comment somthing useful on this topic.

Yesterday I had a chat with my friend on this so called word of “DREAM” and his perspective influnced to provide some of my ideas as well. So here is what my friend said to me “Nakul I think that when we go to sleep then we wake up in a different universe where we follow that life”. I feel he might be completely right on his point. I used “might” because even scientists have less idea regarding “DREAM” so any one who says what dream is might be right in his perspective. But here is what I think “ May be when we sleep our brain just shows us possible combinations of small random stuff that we encountered in our past and form it a scene which I would like to call as dream video. Its like our brain has a video library from where it picked up some small clips and cut them in pieces and edit them togeather to form new video.

Sometimes when we wake up we just forget what we dreamt last night but sometimes we do have a little idea of what we say in our dream. Sometimes it also happens with us that we feel Déjà vu.

For those who have no idea whatsoever that this dejavu means let me tell you about it .. its a feeling that sometimes makes you wonder that you already faced this incident or this happened to you before. So coming back to what I think regarding dreams relation to dejavu is that may be these “video clip dream” are what that create first vision of somthing and when a similar case happens we say “DEJAVU”.

Well to summarize the above things I can say when we sleep then to keep itself in active mode our brain creates various activities; one of which is going through these past incidents and grouping them togeather to just form a new incident or scenario which may or may not occur and if it occurs its dejavu. But may be thats all I think, and I still think my friend is correct but you never know this untill anything is proved for sure.

I would surely like to get response on this topic from my readers to see what they think. Hope you like this thought process.

Thanks
