Mitochondria is the powerhouse of cells.


There is no remaining original DNA of the very first organisms on Earth. People normally say that things like mitochondria (mtDNA) are not changing. But actually, there are mutations also in that DNA. When electromagnetic or chemical stress impacts the DNA that causes changes in its structure. This is one of the reasons why we cannot restore things like T-Rex to nature. We can take the DNA of that dinosaur and put that DNA in some other reptilians morula. In that process, we must just change the DNA in the cell's nucleus.

 But the problem is nobody knows how much damage is in that DNA. Nobody has ever seen a living T-Rex, and that means. No DNA can compare with the DNA sequences used in that work. Without full DNA from the living organism, there is no DNA matrix. If we want to fix those damages in genomes by using sequences taken from some chicken that thing will not work as we want. 

The problem is that nobody knows what DNA sequences are missing. So genetic engineers can create something that looks like T-Rex, but that thing will not be T-Rex. The mitochondria DNA doesn't give very much data about the organism where they give energy. 

Mitochondria have different, own DNA. That has no connection with the specie's DNA. So mitochondria still have the form. That they had before they went into symbiosis with cells. When cells start to divide, the mitochondria get a signal that they must start to multiply. This thing brings a very interesting idea to my mind.

The strength of muscle cells depends on the number of mitochondria in those cells. If genetic engineers can create muscle cells that are more mitochondria than usual those muscles will be stronger. 

Do you know the comics Asterix? The small Gallian village defends itself against the Romans by using a secret potion that gives supernatural strength to those people. The reason why those strengths come from the potion is that those people are easier to control. When the effect time of the potion is limited they need the potion again, if they wish to fight. 

There is a possibility that something can give a chemical signal to mitochondria that they must start to divide. But at this time the cell will not divide. That thing increases the power of the muscle cells. If researchers make this kind of chemical, there is a possibility that that kind of thing makes it possible to create superhumans. And when superhumans will not need those strengths anymore the extra-mitochondria could be destroyed. 

These kinds of things are interesting. And new technology allows the creation of cloned mitochondria that can inject into cells. Those cloned mitochondria can give immune cells superpowers. That allows them to destroy cancer cells. The cloned mitochondria can help to keep things like cells alive until they will get to the laboratory. That technology can make organ transfers more successful than they still are.

Researchers think that the multiverse is not fiction anymore.

Multiverse means that our universe is one of many universes. The reason why researchers and scientists believe that this is true is that logical. About 50 years ago people didn't know that there were other solar systems. Exoplanets were only theories in the 80's.  About 400 years ago people thought that our Sun was the only star in the universe. Edvin Hubble proved that our galaxy, Milky Way is one of many galaxies. Then researchers found that galaxies form groups, and supergroups. That means that today we think that the universe, where we live is the ultimate supergroup of galactic supergroups. And logically thinking there should be other universes. We believe that the universe began its existence in an event or series of events called the Big Bang. That event did not begin, because the energy that formed material should come from somewhere. The Big Bang was not one "bang" or explosion. It was a series of events where material took form. Or the energy level that it h

Helium-3 production from tritium.

The fusion energy is theoretical level. The fusion systems are still at the laboratory level. That means there are many problems to overcome before commercial fusion systems. The fusion fuel can be produced from heavy water. The system bombs deuterium with neutrons. Or it can shoot deuterium or some other atoms against each other.  That can create neutron stripping, which transforms deuterium into tritium, and then the laser systems can increase the dividing speed of tritium. In that process, tritium transforms into Heluim-3 (3^He). If the system wants to produce Helium-3 for experimental or pulsed plasma rocket engines, that thing doesn't require that the Helium-3 production must be economical.  Hydrogen's heavy isotopes deuterium and tritium are the most promising fusion fuels. The problem is where the system can produce tritium or Helium3 for the fusion fuel. The 100 million K temperature allows two Heium-3 atoms can create fusion. There is the possibility to produce Hellium

Is some quantum version of the bubble pulse effect behind the dark energy?

  "Dark energy’s role in propelling the universe’s accelerated expansion presents a pivotal challenge in astrophysics, driving ongoing research and space missions dedicated to uncovering the nature of this mysterious force." (ScitechDaily, Deciphering the Dark: The Accelerating Universe and the Quest for Dark Energy)  Is the universe formed in energy projection? That traveled in some kind of space vacuum. That requires. That there was some kind of energy field before the Big Bang.  Quantum field is the common name of all power fields in the universe.  Is dark energy a gravitational version of the bubble pulse effect, that detonates submarines? In the bubble pulse effect, the bubble or some other projection. That travels in the larger bubble causing a very high explosive explosion. So could that effect be possible in electromagnetic and gravitational fields? Gravitational fields differ from electromagnetic fields because of their wavelength.  In some models, the double bubble,
