		<description>The superconductor and nanotechnology from the extraterrestrial probe.

 Dear Sirs!
Please see the paper about UFO,s materials.
Thank you.Sincerely,Henadzi Filipenka,teacher of
materials.          hfilipenk@rambler.ru
                    --------------------


Dear Sirs!The information, contained in the project is 
in my 
opinion
the evidence of its extraterrestrial origin.

Project
of decoding of 'The Stormer Effect'

The phenomenon is described by C.Stormer in his 
work 'The
Problem of Aurora Borealis' in the chapter 
entitled 'The
Echo of Short Waves, Which Comes Back in Many Seconds 
After
The Main Signal'.

In 1928 the radio- engineer Jorgen Hals from Bigder 
near Oslo
informed C.Stormer about an odd radio echo received 3
seconds after the cessation of the main signal; 
besides, an
ordinary echo encircling the Earth within 1/7 of a 
second
was received.

In July Prof. Stormer spoke to Dr. Van-der-Paul in 
Andhoven
and they decided to carry out experiments in autumn 
and send
telegraphic signals in the form of undamped waves 
every 20
seconds three dashes one after the other. On 11 
October 1928
between 15.30 and 16.00, C.Stormer heard an 
echo 'beyond any
doubt'; the signals lasted for 1,5- 2 seconds on 
undamped
waves 31,4 meters long.

Stormer and Hals recorded the intervals between the 
main
signal and the mysterious echo:
1) 15, 9, 4, 8, 13, 8, 12, 10, 9, 5, 8, 7, 6
2) 12, 14, 14, 12, 8
3) 12, 5, 8
4)  12, 8, 5, 14, 14, 15, 12, 7, 5.5, 13, 8, 8, 8, 13, 
9,10,7,14,6,9,5

5)  9

Atmospheric disturbances were insignificant at that 
time.
The frequency of echoes was equal to that of the main
signal. C.Stormer explained the nature of echoes by
reflection of radio waves from layers of particles 
ionised
by the Sun. But!

The Professor of the Stenford Electrotechnical 
University
R.Bracewell suggested possibility of informational
communication through space probes between more or less
developed civilisations in space. From that point of 
view
the information about decoding of Stormer series can be
found in following journals:

'Smena' No.2 Moscow 1966 , 'Astronautics and 
Aeronautics'
No.5 USA 1973, 'Technika Molodezi' No.4 1974 and No.5 
1977
Moscow, etc.

The author of this work offers the following decoding: 
let
the numbers in the series be replaced for chemical 
symbols
of elements with corresponding nuclear charges:
1)  P F Be O Al O Mg Ne F B O N C
2)  Mg Si Si Mg O
3)  Mg B O
4)  Mg O B Si Si P Mg N B B Al O O O Al F Ne N Si C F B
5)  F

It is easy to see that the second series is repeated 
at the
beginning of the forth series with the only difference 
that
in the forth series silicon is alloyed with boron and
phosphorus, i.e. 'p-n transition' of a diode is 
created. The
third series describes receipt of pure boron through 
action
on boron anhydrite by magnesium:
B2O3 and     Mg = B  ...

The author of the above hypothesis wrote his degree 
paper on
silicon carbide light-emitting  diode, that is why the
ending of the forth series is the most simple- it is a
modern light-emitting diode. Silicon carbide is 
alloyed with
nitrogen and boron with 'some participation'  of 
fluorine.
Approximately the same way diamond is alloyed with
participation of fluorine in laboratories of 'other
civilisations', as can be seen at the ending of the 
first
series. In the middle of the forth series corundum, 
the base
of ruby, is also alloyed with boron, nitrogen and 
fluorine.
In the fifth series simply fluorine is educed as a 
useful
but very aggressive gas. Inert neon seems to divide
optoelectronic devices.

In conclusion, some repeated applications should be 
noticed:
fluorine favours in a way either diffusion of boron or
electronic processes in forbidden zones of diamond, 
silicon
carbamide; for some reason magnesium contacts are used.

 Now,MgB2 is supercoductor!!! (2001?)
=========================================================
In 1928 semi-conductor devices were not in use on 
Earth.
 It was made in Leningrad,1978.

		<description>Great stuff!  I disagree with Alan about breaking the Carbon Barrier being the "only Singularity that matters" (what about recursively self-improving intelligence in AI?), but I do agree that it's extremely important.  One of the really effective things is brainstorming examples for nano-biobot characteristics that make them so potentially dangerous to human beings.  The statements about nanotubes and glass-nanoparticle-armored viruses are good.

Also, I think Alan's (and humanity's) cause for awareness of animats will be boosted considerably when he gets a book out.  Maybe it will even be high-profile enough to let him go on some radio or TV talk shows.</description>

		<description>By Goldstein's definition, a computer virus is a lifeform. It's an entity capable of executing a sequence of physical activities (in this case, adding code to a hard drive) that results in the propagation of itself. So the A-Prize belongs to virus coders.</description>

		<description>I guess like Kurzweil I have trouble getting my thinking outside the box of post-Singularity human desires; I wish Dr. Goldstein had expanded on that a little.  From my perspective, our technology is intrinsically human - it has been developed by human nervous systems for human use.  Perhaps what Dr. G means is that at some point (like in one of Bruce Sterling's stories, IIRC) we will be so different than what we are now that the biological drives and desires we have will no longer have meaning.  I don't know if this implies a "ghost in the machine" reality or a land of the lotus eaters self-reflection/absorption or what.

 In John Barnes's book &lt;i&gt;Mother of Storms&lt;/i&gt; a couple of characters spend so much time in their VR interface that they essentially upload themselves.  One of them starts creating copies of himself since he is spread across the Solar system and has trouble with the limitations of light speed communication.  To accomplish his goal he ends up killing his original, biological self so that he doesn't have to worry about acceleration or life support.  Perhaps that resembles what Dr. Goldstein means, as self-preservation is a pretty high human priority.

Perhaps it would help to imagine what you would do if you no longer needed anything.  After one has read every book one wanted to read, listened to all the recorded music in the world, seen every film and television show in existence, what does one do with their spare time?  

Perhaps one could construct a neoDeistic theory that suggests that our universe is just a project a bored post-Singularity being cooked up and gave up on.  I have pondered whether or not we are just a giant game of Civ running on some twelve-year-old's computer - I think it would explain some things; who knows, after all, how complex Civ will be by the time it reaches Civ X, for instance.  But I digress.

Anyway, thanks for the food for thought.</description>
