The problems with automation and society

In this text, I would handle the automation mainly in the visual angle of sociology and national security. When we are thinking about the use of robots as the production, we must understand the reason, why they are so popular. Robots can make almost everything in production side better than human, and there would no need to pay salaries for the machines. Robots never make mistakes, the people who make programs for robots are making mistakes, and this is one of the worst weakness of those machines.


There is a technique called "CAM", what means "Computer Aided Manufacturing". This term means technology, where the CAD (Computer Aided Design) picture would send straight to the robots, and and then automatized manufacturing process would start. The most advanced version of CAM is 3D printing technology, what allows to make any product by using the printer, what makes 3D objects by using steel, plastic or carbon fiber.


The problem with computers is that they would not have imagined, and they would not actually think anything. This means that if there is an error in the CAD picture, what was imputed to manufacturing robots is an error and nobody notices it, would the large series of those products sour, and that would make worse for the company than any human worker ever can make. In this scenario, even millions of products could be usefulness, because some engineer has made mistake while making the picture for robots.  Those printers are very interested in military forces because they allow making military products like Drones and even heavy combat equipment like tanks in the operational area.


Those systems might also bring the very dangerous element to war because it allows making "black systems" what means airplanes and other equipment, what is not found in the inventory of military forces. And if the system can make spare parts for aircraft or tanks, could those parts used also for making complete products. But when we are thinking the problems of the automation in the social angle of view, we must understand that growing population of the human race, would need something to do. If we are thinking about "ghost factories", where is only robot workers, we are facing the problems of mass unemployment.


People need something to do, and if they would not get any work, they would start to hang in shopping centers. In the works cases, what have seen in books and some futuristic movies all workers have been replaced by robots. And in this kind of version of the production, the profits what company get is very high. Robots can work non-stop and when there is no need for production, would the lines shut down. And the company doesn't have then pay even the electric bill. But in this scenario, there would no need for the human workers, and this would mean massive social problems in the society. This scenario is the highest level of capitalism, what man can ever imagine.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to  form  the blue giant or too  small  it can collapse  straight  into a black hole . If  the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts.    The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists  model  of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the...

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista...

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

   "New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at  USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) The transcendenc...
