My Denial of the Flat Earth Society Idea

Maybe people supporting the 'Flat Earth Society' idea just want a tour of the 𝖭𝖠𝖲𝖠 / 𝖤𝖲𝖠 / SpaceX facilities and some personal insights like 'One Direction' has had. One should do a reality check of this particular matter:

It looks like a 'magic carpet' from some children's fairy tales, but it has nothing to do with reality. The viral nature of the idea reminds me of the vast spread of Scientology in the 20th century.

I don't share any of those ideas: no 'Flat Earth Society' please, no 'Scientology' please, and no 'Family medicine - Fake religion' please. I don't support pharmaceuticals in psychiatry neither, it is too invasive, but rather Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis and talking. In this busy, alienated world I understand there is no time for people in need and I hope that will change.

Many people are now greedy, some would even rob instead of helping a victim lying on the street. You can read more about the bystander effect here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystander_effect

112 Year of Knowing Asteroid 589 Croatia

The asteroid was discovered on 3 March 1906, located in the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 88 kilometers in diameter. Named after the independent country of Croatia, then part of Austria-Hungary, discovered by astronomer August Kopff at Heidelberg Observatory. It's so exciting celebrating this amazing anniversary from Zagreb, capital of Croatia, now an 𝖤𝖴 member. Have a great day!

Graphene – New Wonder Material Based on Nanotechnology

My Intuitive View on Multiverse

I believe in the multiverse as much as I believe in angels. I was talking to many heavy pot users and these are their pipe dreams about a particular subject:

There are so many scientific "yada yada yada" about multiverse. I think String theories are overrated. We need more consistent and provable unified field (forces) theory A.S.A.P.

I created my own multiverse classification based on intuition:

1. Constant 
2. Unstable 
3. Irrational

I hope it will help someone. Please state your name and position and do comment on this breakthrough thinking 😃 

Global Worming Is Very Real

It takes time for the propagation of awareness regarding global warming, especially among elderly people. Global warming reaches a 1°C increase in the last 100 years. Nevertheless, I believe we should continue to work hard.

Please listen to authorities and do exactly what they say regarding global warming/climate change.

IDN (Internationalized domain name) from my perception

An internationalized domain name (𝖨𝖣𝖭) is an Internet domain name that contains at least one label that is displayed in software applications, in whole or in part, in a language-specific script or alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Tamil, Hebrew or the Latin alphabet-based characters with diacritics or ligatures, such as French.

I live in Rudeš, it's a neighborhood in Zagreb, almost all my life. Back in 2004 when I first started Rudeš online (www.rudes.info) - web portal about Rudeš, there were so many critics.

As you can see, "Rudeš" is a non-Latin name because it contains the non-Latin letter "š". At that time the Internet, a project of the United States of America (𝖴𝖲𝖠), had only Latin letters support in assigning domain names to IP addresses.

It's a completely different story when you use the World Wide Web (abbreviated 𝖶𝖶𝖶 or the Web) as an information space for your online content. Ever since the Web non-Latin chars are available for the content.

Time has passed and now you can use your own, native letters and symbols for a website or email address name. There is little danger of phishing scams due to current technical limitations. Nevertheless, I would always redirect www.buecher.de ⇒ www.bücher.de, NOT www.bücher.de ⇒ www.buecher.de.

Nowadays, there are talks about the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (𝖨𝖠𝖭𝖠)  and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (𝖨𝖢𝖠𝖭𝖭). There are some ideas that should be governed by the United Nations, but personally, I think 𝖨𝖠𝖭𝖠 and 𝖨𝖢𝖠𝖭𝖭 should continue doing great work in the current frameset.

Although Atmospheric Incubator is a hypothetical megastructure, it's not as big as a Dyson sphere.

Use or not to use "WWW." in your website URL?

The World Wide Web (abbreviated 𝖶𝖶𝖶 or the Web) is an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (𝖴𝖱𝖫s), interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the Internet.

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web

I believe you should always promote 𝖧𝖳𝖬𝖫 (𝖶𝖶𝖶 or the Web) technology, preventing it from falling into oblivion. The danger is real because these days 𝖠𝖯𝖯𝖲 are up and 𝖶𝖶𝖶 is getting lower. Still, it is the cheapest, cross-platform technology for distributing all sorts of content. In some alternate reality world without 𝖶𝖶𝖶, 𝖠𝖯𝖯𝖲 would be very lonely, almost impossible for upkeeping, not democratic (meaning very expensive intended for a small group of people). Please be careful and always use "𝖶𝖶𝖶." in front of your brand 𝖴𝖱𝖫.
I don't know why 𝖢𝖤𝖱𝖭 in Switzerland doesn't use it anymore. It was invented there by their employee for scientific purposes.

Is it because of the unfavorable meaning of the original "web" word?

Spider web - Wikipedia

Webs allow a spider to catch prey without having to expend energy by running it down. Thus it is an efficient method of gathering food. However, constructing the web is in itself an energetically costly process because of the large amount of protein required, in the form of silk.

Interdigital webbing - Wikipedia

Interdigital webbing is the presence of membranes of skin between the digits. Normally in mammals, webbing is present in the embryo but resorbed later in development, but in various mammal species it occasionally persists in adulthood. In humans, it can be found in those suffering from 𝖫𝖤𝖮𝖯𝖠𝖱𝖣 syndrome and from Aarskog-Scott syndrome.

Nevertheless, please be careful while programming and, as Google would say it: "Do the right thing". I believe that including "𝖶𝖶𝖶." in your website 𝖴𝖱𝖫 is the right thing, it shouldn't be taken for granted.

I'm sure that some Internet gurus call 𝖶𝖶𝖶

Please convert to vegetarian due to Climate Change

The conversion from vegetable material to animal muscle is only a 10% conversion efficiency, in other words: for one pound of steak the cow consume roughly 10 pounds of grass.

Paul Falkowski, Ph. D. Professor of Geological Sciences, Rutgers University

Also, there is a recommendation on the World Health Organization website about avoiding consumption of red meat and processed meat:

The latest IARC review does not ask people to stop eating processed meats but indicates that reducing consumption of these products can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.

Unfortunately, Climate Change sneaked into our world. Please try to act responsibly.

The VASIMR Engine: How to Get to Mars in 40 Days

In theory, the VASIMR can also be used for interstellar travel, it can provide 1g constant acceleration (meaning it can provide artificial gravity). It's being developed since 1977. Thank you Franklin Chang Díaz for creating the 𝖵𝖠𝖲𝖨𝖬𝖱 (Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket) concept! Overall, it's near the speed of light propulsion.

Salt in the wound & Oil on the fire - why (don't be evil) and when (never)

• Salt in the wound (never) => Vinegar or alcohol in the wound (might be right)
  => Healing oil or water in the wound (Ok)
• Oil or alcohol on the fire (never) => Vinegar or water on fire (might be right)
  => Water on the fire (Ok)

Conclusion: Please don't be evil and please never put "Salt in the wound" or "Oil on the fire"!

My view of The Ultimate Engineered Solar System

The Ultimate Engineered Solar System By 𝖯𝖫𝖠𝖭𝖤𝖳𝖯𝖫𝖠𝖭𝖤𝖳

A picture describes a stable system with a maximum of 416 planets in the habitable zone (some call it the Goldilocks zone), orbiting a star-like Sun. It's hard to expect some advanced printing technique to achieve pictured imagination, but one never knows. From my present point of view, something like that would seem too invasive. On the other hand, there are so many beautiful UN countries, and thinking of the constant growth of the population, giving a planet to each nation does not seem like a bad idea. Such a project would remind me of a "One Laptop per Child" initiative, which has, from my perspective, turned out to be a "One Smartphone per Kid".
Deep looking at the picture I think of engagements in the planet's core.

My view of building a space elevator

The ultimate tensile strength of carbon nanotubes is increasing and it should serve as a space elevator in the next 100 years. My belief is that the space elevator should be assembled on the fly by some algorithm in the atmosphere, rather than on the ground when the ultimate tensile strength of carbon nanotubes will be strong enough.

ᵁᴾᴰᴬᵀᴱᴰ My view of cranking a battery

There are so many "Battery Doctor" apps for smartphones that are doing okay and if you have time you can try to do it on your own. I believe the best method for cranking any battery is intensive usage while charging, so for smartphones, the thing that should be effective is YouTube. You can enjoy videos carelessly knowing you're doing a good deed.

UN's new global standard to feed the world's population

UN News - New UN guidelines to make international trade in plants and seeds safer

A United Nations commission overseeing plant health has adopted a new global standard to ensure that international trade in plants and seeds - vital to feed the world's population - is free from agricultural pests and disease-causing bugs.

I'm not an expert but I think artificial manures should be deprecated.
