The idea of brains in a dish is turning true.

  

 The idea of brains in a dish is turning true. 


"By growing small brains in the lab, researchers can test out new treatments for brain diseases. Here is an artist's interpretation of growing brain cancer in a dish. In reality, today's cultured mini-brains are far smaller, just a few millimeters, and they look different. (Illustration: BeataScienceArt/IMBA)" ( Sciencenorway.no/Neuroscientists cultivate mini-versions of human brains in the lab. Could they become conscious?)

And technology is always advancing faster than we think. Those cell cultures can connect with microchips. The half-organic-half silicon structure makes those microchips extremely powerful. In those microchips living neurons are communicating with computers. 

When technology is advancing. The size of brains can turn bigger. And they can learn more things. Also, that cell or neuron cultures can connect by using computers. That thing is making them possible to create new and powerful systems. 

In some visions, there are brains in the nutrient in the dish. That dish is in the laboratory. And the brains are interacting with the computers. In some other visions where living neurons are connected with the robotic body. That kind of cyborg is possible to make. The only limit is that the neurons need nutrients. And in some futuristic models, the living bone marrow is installed in the robot body. 

The system needs only nutrients and the bone marrow is creating blood. That blood is transferring nutrients and oxygen to those artificial brains. The main reason why those systems must use bone marrow is that the immune cells must keep those brains clear from bacteria and viruses. The bone marrow can use liquid nutrients that are used to feed it. 



The neurons that live in the dish and solve problems are turning true. Researchers have created the neurons that live in nutrients at Petri dishes and play video games. That cell group is playing the video game called "Pong". 


Because those neurons are playing computer or video games means that the neurons can communicate with computers. And that thing makes it possible to use them also for controlling robots. This means that the hybrid robots which are using living neurons in their control unit and those neurons are controlling the metal body are the thing that makes those robots very independent. 

The ability to connect the neurons with the robot body is making it possible to create robots with the same intelligence level as humans. And that means we should re-estimate things like national rights and other things. The problem with too-intelligent robots is that they have consciousness. And if those robots feel being under threat. They might act against their creators. 

And the capacity of this kind of artificial brain is theoretically unlimited. In medical science, the cloned neurons can use to replace the destroyed brain areas. And the only problem is that those cloned neurons have no memories stored in destroyed neurons. The ability to clone neurons is making it possible to use synthetic neurons. 

And that kind of thing can use in the biological microchip. The same effect that makes some viruses turn the immune cell into a cancer cell is making it possible to turn the immune cells into neurons. The thing is that the biological microprocessors are the thing that gives things like drones extremely independence in operations. 

The idea of the living brain tissue, that can operate robots is taken from the UFO hypothesis. The idea is that in the distant future. Spacecraft or robots will be connected to cyborgs the machine-brain hybrids. 

The cyborg spacecraft can travel between stars. The flight time between stars is millions of years. But if the craft can replace destroyed neurons it can make that journey. 

There could be cloning systems for those neurons. And that thing could solve the biggest problem of interstellar traveling. The use of living neurons in space projects. Would make those half-organic and half synthetic space systems independent.

And those intelligent probes can travel billions of years if they can repair themselves in the cases of damages. The system can use things like algae as nutrients and those algae cells can use also it for cloning the neurons. 

The thing is that this kind of technology can open very bright and fascinating ideas. But also we should understand that this kind of technology is a very dangerous thing in the wrong hands.

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...
