Tissue Regeneration

How Tissue Regenerates

The cells of our body have the ability to regenerate our body tissue to accustom our growth, heal from injuries, accommodate our needs, and more. For example, we replace our skin tissue completely in 7 days, and cuts will go away in a week or two. We can almost always heal ourselves perfectly, given enough time and resources. We do require resources such as nutrients and food to heal these cells, but it still takes time, even if we already have the resources needed to regenerate cells.

Quick Regeneration

When it comes to regeneration, some people might think about something like Doctor Who, or regenerating your whole body at once. This however, is not the case with humans. But what if it could be? What if we could create a device that could reinvent the way we heal ourselves? We would be able to heal some of the most gruesome injuries with a moment's notice. If we could perfect a device such as this, then we could exceed the limits of our body. We could live forever.

Immortality

Humans usually die when their cells can no longer heal damaged parts of our bodies, resulting in our organs failing and our bodies dying. But if we could perfect a device to regenerate tissue, then we could restore our bodies whenever our bodies would fail to do it for us, and give our bodies the ability to restore our tissue again once our bodies lost that ability. We could live forever.

The Mass of Light

What is Light?

As we know in the science world, light is waves of particles called photons. Photons are called the boson, or carrier particle of electromagnetic energy as predicted in the standard model. We also know that rays of photons, what we perceive as light, travel in transverse waves. These wavelengths are then interpreted as color by our brain. And going at 299,792,458 m/s, light is the fastest thing in our universe, and only a few things such as photons and neutrinos can go at that speed. Einstein himself even stated that nothing could go faster than light, and anything that did go faster than light wold be able to bend time in his Theory of Special Relativity.

Can Light have Mass?

Since light is made up of particles than it could have mass. Yet while photons are not believed to have mass, they can move in waves, and waves carry energy. So using the equation KE=1/2m*v2, we can tell that either photons have mass, or this equation does not apply to them. We can tell this as if there is 0 mass, and photons travel at the speed of light, than the kinetic energy, 0*299,792,458=0, equals 0 joules, and how can something move with no energy? The answer, it can't. Kinetic energy is required for movement as it is movement in a sense. Therefore, either photons have mass, or the equation KE=1/2m*v2 does not apply to photons.

Invincible Armor

Perfect Protection

Sometimes I wonder, can we make a way to protect ourselves from modern weaponry such as guns, knives, and other dangerous weaponry. I think that I have found a way to protect ourselves from such things. The asnwer is quite simple as it seems, electromagnets, a static magnetic field would be able to repel metal, the most commonly used material on earth. Almost all weapons are made with metal, guns, blades, bombs, and others. This armor would repel any metal with enough power, and would keep us safe from most of today's weaponry. And as we know from the earth's own magnetosphere, it would even be able to repel radiation. And since it can repel radiation, it could possibly, with enough power, allow one to survive nuclear fallout.

Human 2.0

Magnet Man

Nowadays ideas such as cyborgs and androids are quite popular in fiction, but what if we could use them in real life, creating Human 2.0. One simple, yet quite effective thing we could do is connect a magnet to some of our nerves. If you run electricity through a magnet, then it will become a more powerful electromagnet, so if you connected it to nerves then, since nerves are just like wires in your body that deliver electrical impulses sent from your brain, then you could control the strength of the electromagnet and it might even feel as natural as making a fist. you would just have to send an electrical impulse to the magnet (your brain uses electrical impulses to tighten muscle, so it would feel as if you were tightening a muscle that would actually be the electromagnet) and you would have the ability to move metallic objects, or even something as helpful as stopping a bullet.

Terraforming Mars by Melting It

Terraformation of Mars

One thing many people, myself included, have wondered something. Could we terraform Mars? Terraforming, a process in which a place (normally a planet/moon) would be made habitable, may seem like an extremely difficult, if not impossible process. But is terraforming Mars something we may need? Personally I think it is something that would be highly beneficial to mankind in the future. We know that the technology exists to go to the planet, but making it habitable is a whole different thing. My idea is that if we drilled a hole down to the center of the planet, then we could create a small star by forcing a mass amount of hydrogen down to the bottom of the hole, thereby creating nuclear fusion which, with the iron and other dense materials bound to be at their core, would cause the star to collapse and melt the inside of the planet, increasing the strength of the magnetoshere and eventually release gasses into the atmosphere making the planet habitable.

Making the Star

A star, in a sense, is just a mass amount of hydrogen that clumped together and nuclear fusion began to occur. Normally this process takes millenniums or even eons, but if you only used a smaller amount of hydrogen, then you could create a small star. The materials in the core would get sucked into the star and cause the star to go unstable, as denser atoms will cause the star to go unstable (in nature a star will normally start to go unstable when it produces iron from the nuclear fusion), this may cause the star to collapse (or expand into the small version of a red giant, then shrink into a dwarf star, and eventually collapse into a black hole, however this is very unlikely as the star would be so small that the star would have to be pressurized into the size of something very tiny [the earth would have to become the size of a pea to become a black hole] and would likely just collapse due to the weakness of the gravitational field).
