Science & Futurism

* "Prototype rocket engine developed by Made in Chelsea star could HALVE the journey time to Mars and pave the way for nuclear-powered interstellar spacecraft travelling at 500,000mph" (2020-02-10, dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-7987277/Successful-ion-powered-rocket-engine-test-slash-space-missions-Mars-HALF.html) [archive.is/25XvL], synopsis: Argon ion-powered thruster test by Pulsar Fusion reached around 56,000mph. If scaled up to industrial scale it could reach a maximum speed of 100,000mph. But at greater temperatures a similar engine could allow for nuclear fusion
This would be able to reach a top speed of around 500,000mph in space. Conventional propulsion would be required to reach orbit before the fusion reactor takes over in long-duration space travel.

* " ‘Made in Chelsea’ Star Develops Rocket Engine Able to Halve Earth-Mars Journey Time – Report" (2020-02-11, sputniknews.com/science/202002111078282734-made-in-chelsea-star-develops-rocket-engine-able-to-halve-earth-mars-journey-time--report/) [archive.is/m4LZF]: The developer says the new method could power rockets to be twice as fast as the maximum speed of a traditional rocket engine and could be developed further to be a dozen times faster by using soon-to-be-developed nuclear fusion technology.
Pulsar Fusion, a British company headed by former "Made in Chelsea" star Richard Dinan, has reportedly succeeded in developing a prototype of an argon/ion-powered rocket engine capable of slashing in half the time it takes for a spacecraft to reach Mars.
The company successfully tested a miniature prototype engine and recorded a maximum speed of 56,000 mph. The company claims that if the engine is scaled to full-size, it could reach 100,000 mph, over double the maximum exhaust speed of 40,000 mph reached by standard rockets working on traditional propulsion methods, according to the Daily Mail.
“This is a perfectly functional, full size ion engine and could be immediately commercialised for space applications", Pulsar Fusion CEO Richard Dinan said, according to the Daily Mail.
Dinan said that the new engine could be further developed to use nuclear fusion up to 500,000 mph, over a dozen times faster than the normally accepted speed of traditional rocketry.
The young entrepreneur explained that his new engine works by heating Argon gas to 1,600°C and magnetising it to cause the gas to fly out at enormous velocity. Dinan said that his company is aiming to build an engine that can operate at fusion temperatures, offering still greater velocities far in excess of the purported 500,000 mph.

* "Walking Into Danger? Italian Devil’s Footprints Mystery Revealed" (2020-01-29, ancient-origins.net/news-evolution-human-origins/devils-footprints-0013215) [archive.is/hYau1] [begin excerpt]: An ancient set of footprints commonly known as the ‘ devil footprints ’ on the side of an extinct volcano have long frightened and intrigued people in southern Italy.  In reality, it was thought that these prints belonged to a species of hominids.  Researchers now believe that they are actually the footprints of Neanderthals.
The footprints are found on the slope of the extinct Roccamonfina volcano in Campania, Italy, which has been dormant for at least 50,000 years. There are three sets of footprints and an impression measures roughly 8 inches (22 cm) long and 4 inches (11cm) wide. These imprints are in remarkable condition and are up to 385,000 years old.
Devil’s Trails
According to Science Alert , local people call them the “Ciampate del Diavolo or Devil's Trail’’. After all, the prints were made when the slopes of Roccamonfina were molten, and it was assumed that only a devil could walk on red-hot lava and rock. Local legend has it that the devil made them as he made his way from Hell via the volcano to Earth.
However, a study by researchers, from the University of Padua, proved in 2003 that the prints, which are remarkably preserved, were not made by a devil but by an early human.  According to Disclosure PW , a team led by Adolfo Panarello “identified them as hominids, making them the oldest known hominid prints outside of Africa at the time.” It was though that the early humans walked on the cooled pyroclastic flow and these prints were then covered by volcanic dust until they were revealed in the 17 th century. Handprints were also found among the footprints and this suggested that they were made by hominids, who were trying to balance themselves as they made their way on the slope. [end excerpt]

[...]
But while many studies have focused on the reasons for Cahokia's decline, few have looked at the region following the exodus of Mississippians, whose culture is estimated to have spread through the Midwestern, Southeastern and Eastern United States from 700 A.D. to the 1500s. [...]
Overall, the results suggest that the Mississippian decline did not mark the end of a Native American presence in the Cahokia region, but rather reveal a complex series of migrations, warfare and ecological changes in the 1500s and 1600s, before Europeans arrived on the scene, White said.
"The story of Cahokia was a lot more complex than, 'Goodbye, Native Americans. Hello, Europeans,' and our study uses innovative and unusual evidence to show that," White said. [end excerpt]

* "Ruins of Malden Island and The Mysterious Roads that Lead into the Sea" (2018-09-10, ancient-origins.net/ancient-places/malden-island-0010676) [archive.is/E3Y9d] [begin excerpt]:
Malden is a tiny, island in the central Pacific Ocean, covering about 15 square miles in area. It is one of the Line Islands belonging to the Republic of Kiribati and while there are no resident staff on Malden, there are the occasional visits by foreign yachtsmen. The island is best known for its ruins of unknown origins, its deposits of guano (a valuable agricultural fertilizer) and its former use as the site of the first British H-bomb tests.
The triangular shaped island is located 1,530 nautical miles south of Honolulu, and over 4,000 nautical miles west of South America. It is now a protected breeding island for about a dozen species of birds as well as a winter-stop for migratory seabirds.
A small lagoon, entirely enclosed by land, fills the east part of the island. It is connected to the sea by subterranean channels and the water is salty. Most of the land area of the island lies to the south and west of the lagoon. The island is low, no more than 33 feet above sea level, and there is no fresh water.
The island was named after Lt. Charles Robert Malden, the navigator of the HMS Blonde, who briefly explored it, along with a naturalist and a botanist travelling for the Royal Horticultural Society in 1825.
The island was occupied from the 1860s by an Australian company for the purpose of collecting guano, but all activity ceased by the early 1930s. No further use was made of Malden until 1956 when the United Kingdom selected Malden as the instrumentation site for its first series of H-bomb tests.
At the time of discovery, Malden was unoccupied, but the remains of ruined temples and megalithic monuments indicated that the island had at one time been inhabited.
Between 100 and 200 Natives Could Have Produced the Malden Structures.
In 1924, the Malden ruins were examined by Kenneth Emory, an anthropologist from the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, who theorized that they were the creation of a small Polynesian population which had resided there for several generations some centuries earlier. There are, however, those who dispute his theory, claiming that Emory was not motivated to reach any other conclusions and that his purpose for reaching this conclusion was primarily to support his thesis that Tonga and Samoa were the departure point when the Polynesian culture spread westwards across the Pacific to Tahiti, the Marquesas, and Hawaii. They also claim that an admission that Malden might have traces of an older human presence than that of the Polynesians would have destroyed Emory’s entire paradigm of the earliest settlement in the Pacific. “For aspiring young scientists at the beginning of their career, such things have never been particularly tempting.” Emory went on to become the foremost expert on Polynesian culture 30 years later.
Amongst the 21 archaeological sites discovered, they found temple platforms, housing, and graves. Various wells once used by these ancients were later claimed to be dry or brackish. Emory theorized that a population of between 100 and 200 natives could have produced all of the Malden structures. Maraes (spiritual meeting grounds) of a similar type are found on Raivavae, one of the Austral Islands.
As others have pointed out, the remains of the later Polynesians do not rule out evidence of an even older civilization, but further investigations, which would take months or years, have never been made. Malden Island is so remote that the cost of getting there for further archaeological exploration is prohibitive.
The Paved Roads Lead Into The Sea, But How Far Do They Extend?
Documented observations state that from the center of the island, radiating from several temple complexes, are a network of roads made of large basalt slabs, fitted tightly together. These roads cross the island and the beaches and disappears under the waves of the Pacific. They are very similar to the Ara Metua, a paved road on Rarotonga Island, 1,000 miles to the south. Rarotonga, like Malden Island and others in the Pacific, has a number of pyramid-platforms connected by roads. Strange stacks of stones are also scattered across Malden Island, while the pyramids are capped with dolmens or ‘compass stones’. These 40 stone temples on Malden Island are described as similar in design to the buildings of Nan Madol on Pohnpei, some 3,400 miles away.
Why such a remote island contains temples, pyramid-platforms and ancient paved paths leading directly into the ocean, is still a mystery. [end excerpt]

* "Mystery ruins of Malden island (Kiribati)" (2017-01-03, youtube.com/watch?v=TxsKSaTQz-c) [archive.is/9fDw8]: At the time of its discovery, Malden was found to be unoccupied, but the remains of ruined temples and other structures indicated that the island had at one time been inhabited. Several step-pyramids, platforms, megaliths, and strange stacks of stones are scattered across Malden Island. Stepped and truncated pyramids measure in the range of 30 feet (9 m) in height, 20 to 60 feet (6-18 m) in width, and 90 to 200 feet(27-60 m) in length. The pyramids are approached by paved ways from the sea and are capped with dolmens or “compass stones.” These 40 stone temples on Malden Island are described as similar in design to the buildings of Nan Madol on Pohnpei, some 5,475 km away. What was the purpose of all these platforms? Were they part of an ancient sun-worshipping cult, altars for Polynesian chiefs, or a “crossroad” meeting place for a seafaring nation? And what of the paved ways leading into the sea? Evidence for the lost Pacific continent of Mu, or Lemuria? In 1924, the Malden ruins were examined by an archaeologist from the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, Kenneth Emory, who concluded that they were the creation of a small Polynesian population which had resided there for perhaps several generations some centuries earlier. Speculation also suggests that Malden Island is positioned on a spe­cial power point upon the Earth Grid, acknowledged and venerated by the ancients. Malden island may have been an important stopover place on trans-Pacific voyages, but the reality is that no one really knows. One thing is for certain; some mysterious group put a large amount of effort into building megalithic monuments on an island that could hardly support even a small population.

More under the miscellany and errata are the presumptions that the Earth has gone through climatic & surface changes well into the recent few hundred years. Of course, there is evidence for both, but would they be recorded on a map? Rather, could recent surface changes on Earth have actually changed the coasts on continents?

Would continental climatic-based surface changes be recorded on maps?

Science & Futurism

* "Team Builds the First Living Robots Tiny 'xenobots' assembled from cells promise advances from drug delivery to toxic waste clean-up" (uvm.edu/uvmnews/news/team-builds-first-living-robots) [archive.is/Ua5wr] [begin excerpt]: Later tests showed that groups of xenobots would move around in circles, pushing pellets into a central location—spontaneously and collectively. Others were built with a hole through the center to reduce drag. In simulated versions of these, the scientists were able to repurpose this hole as a pouch to successfully carry an object. "It's a step toward using computer-designed organisms for intelligent drug delivery," says Bongard, a professor in UVM's Department of Computer Science and Complex Systems Center. [end excerpt]

Xenobots even have self-healing capabilities; when the scientists sliced into one robot, it healed by itself and kept moving.
"These are novel living machines," said Joshua Bongard, one of the lead researchers at the University of Vermont, in the news release. "They're neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal. It's a new class of artifact: a living, programmable organism." [...]
The xenobots could potentially be used toward a host of tasks, according to the study, which was partially funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a federal agency that oversees the development of technology for military use.
Xenobots could be used to clean up radioactive waste, collect microplastics in the oceans, carry medicine inside human bodies, or even travel into our arteries to scrape out plaque. The xenobots can survive in aqueous environments without additional nutrients for days or weeks -- making them suitable for internal drug delivery.
Aside from these immediate practical tasks, the xenobots could also help researchers to learn more about cell biology -- opening the doors to future advancement in human health and longevity. [end excerpt]

* "The Original Swiss Army Knife: Check Out This Must Have Gadget for Guys on the Go" (2018-06-15, ancient-origins.net/artifacts-ancient-technology/original-swiss-army-knife-must-have-gadget-guys-0010212) [archive.is/bF5es] [begin excerpt]: While the Fitzwilliam’s gadget is by far the most elaborate and well-preserved example of such a device, lots of folding spoons and knives have survived. This example is the best example archaeologists have found of this “ancient Swiss Army Knife.” Sherlock cited a similar gadget from third-century Thrace (an area that includes parts of modern-day Greece, Turkey, and Bulgaria), but this gizmo contained some tools specific to a doctor’s profession. The
Thracian multi-tool does have utensils (possibly used for caring for wounds), but also lancets.
Aristotle does appear to mention something analogous in his Politics, quipping that “nature makes nothing in an economizing spirit, as smiths make the Delphic knife, but one thing with a view to one thing.” Here, he means that Nature designs everything for a singular purpose, in contrast to those who make “Delphic knives,” which combines lots of singular-purpose items into one multi-function masterpiece.
