Milletler insanlık tarihi boyunca biriktirdiği kültürü her defasında kendilerine saklıyor ve göstermelik sunuyor. Karşı taraf ise bu kültürü ya hatalı bir şekilde özümsüyor ya da karşı taraftan etkilenerek içine kapanıyor. Milletlerin içine kapanmasının ne kadar problemli olduğunu herkes bilir...

Öncelikle insanlara eğitim verirken öncelikli hedef olarak kültür paylaşımının ve karşı tarafın senin kültürünle yaşamasının ayrıcalık olduğu bilinci verilmeli. Bu eğitim verildikten sonra diğer milletini kutsamadaki değerlerin ilüzyondan ibaret olduğu farklı çevrelerde hatta farklı ırkların arasında bulundukça anlaşılacaktır.

Böylece karşımıza yepyeni bir kapı açılacak ve gün geçtikçe kültürlerin işe yaramaz, sanat değeri taşımaz, sosyolojik olarak toplumu şekillendirmeyecek kısımları unutulacaktır. Örneğin Türk tarihindeki göçebe hayatın artık yaşamımızın hiç bir yerinde etkisi olmadığı gibi. Ardından Türk tarihindeki gibi milletini kutsamak giderek azalacak örneğin uygurlar gibi farklı kültürlerden etkilenerek sanat gelişecek hayat üst kademeye yükselecek veya ilk İslam devletleri gibi dine ideolojilere ya da farklı oluşumlara kapı açacak ve bizim kültürümüzde sahip olmadığımız güzelliklerle etkileşime gireceğiz.

Karşı tarafta eşit derecede etkileşimlerden yararlanacak bu etkileşimden yararlanmak için karşı taraftan daha üstün bir kültüre sahip olmak gerekmediğini düşünsel olarak her şeyin belli bir yararı olduğunu düşünebilen insanlar gayet rahat anlayacaktır.

Benim perspektifimde bu şekilde ilerleyen insan yapısı farklı insanlara gitgide yaklaşıcak kültürlerin birbirinden etkileşimi ile kültürlerin problemli kısımlarından kopulurken yeni bir uygarlık oluşacak.

Mısır veya yunan kültüründe olduğu gibi kültürlerin yararlı yanlarının yayılması için medeniyetlerin yıkılması ve zeki insanların meraklarından ötürü bu kültürleri araştırıp bize geri kazandırmasının artık global dünyamızda gereklilik arz etmediğini bizi globalleştiren araçlarla yapılabileceğini inanıyorum. Detaylı baktığımızda sosyal medyada kültürler, milletler, ikili konuşmada insanın inandıkları ve yapısı gereği karşı tarafı düşman atfeden dialoglar olmasına rağmen fark edileceği üzerine farklı kültürlerin güzel yanlarını fark eden saygı duyan ve karşı tarafın milletini o güzel yanlarıyla hatırlamaya çalışan insan yapısıyla da karşılaşıyor. Hepimizin bu değer kümesi içinde birleşmemiz dileğiyle.

Tüm kültürlerin Mısır medeniyeti örneğindeki gibi hepimize yarar sağlaması dileğiyle.

*Mısır medeniyeti tıp terminolojisi alanında başvurulan en önemli medeniyetlerden biridir.

Albert Einstein

September 27, 1905 . On this date, while he was employed at a patent office, Albert Einstein published a paper titled “ Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy-Content? ” It was the last of four papers he submitted that year to the journal Annalen der Physik . The first explained the photoelectric effect, the second offered experimental proof of the existence of atoms, and the third introduced the theory of special relativity. In the fourth paper, Einstein explained the relationship between energy and mass. That is, E=mc ² .

What does it mean? It means that, from the standpoint of physics, energy and mass are interchangeable. In the equation:

E is energy
m is mass
c is the speed of light

In other words, energy = mass x the speed of light squared.

It sounds simple, and its simplicity does belie the genius required of Einstein to express it so elegantly. Mass and energy are interchangeable. Plus, a small amount of mass can equal a large amount of energy; after all, the speed of light is a huge number (186,000 miles per second or 300,000 km/s), and, in Einstein’s famous equation, that huge number is squared. So tiny mass can equal big energy.

E=mc ² explains why the sun and other stars shine. In their interiors, atoms (mass) fuse together, creating the tremendous energy of the sun as described by Einstein’s famous equation.

It’s also why, for example, scientists were able to learn how to build a single bomb that could wipe out a city, such as the atomic bombs that destroyed the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II.

T hese early atomic bombs worked due to nuclear fission , not fusion, but they worked on the principle that a tiny amount of mass could be converted to a large amount of energy, as described by Einstein.

Interestingly, the equation E=mc ² does not appear in “ Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy-Content? ” That’s because Einstein used V to mean the speed of light in a vacuum and L to mean the energy lost by a body in the form of radiation.

E=mc ² was not originally written as a formula but as a sentence in German that meant:

…if a body gives off the energy L in the form of radiation, its mass diminishes by L/V ² .

Einstein’s 1905 paper describing the interchangeable aspect of mass and energ y was one of four papers he published during what’s now called his Annus mirabilis or miracle year .

These four articles forever changed our human perception of mass, energy, space and time.

Bottom line: On September 27, 1905, Albert Einstein published “Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?” in the journal Annalen der Physik . In it, he described the interchangeable nature of mass and energy, or E=mc ² .

Fruit flies are still commonly used in space research. The latest resupply mission to the International Space Station on April 2, 2018 included new hardware important for fruit fly research. NASA

On Feb. 20, 1947, the humble fruit fly boldly went where no Earth creature had gone before. Of all things, the historic trip was made on a rocket originally designed by the Nazis.

Toward the end of World War II, American soldiers seized a number of German V-2 ballistic missiles, along with enough component pieces to fill 300 train cars. The V-2s were high-tech, long-range weapons that could fly at a top speed of 3,500 miles per hour (5,632 kilometers per hour) and hit targets standing as far as 200 miles (321 kilometers) away.

Uncle Sam's military realized that V-2s had great scientific potential. In 1946, the armed forces began test-firing them at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. Even back then, there was an interest in the possibility of putting a man in outer space someday. But first, some major technical questions needed answering. For starters, scientists wondered if exposure to cosmic radiation would harm future astronauts.

Starting in 1946, the military launched a series of biological samples into space on V-2 rockets. Seeds from corn, rye and other plants were sent skyward, often reaching heights of 80 miles (130 kilometers) or more above the ground. Most — but not all — of these were recovered post-launch and thoroughly examined by scientists working with the U.S. Navy.

According to the Office of Naval Research, the White Sands Missile Range didn't get around to sending animals into space until 1947. On February 20 of that year, a V-2 loaded with fruit flies traveled 67 miles (109 kilometers) into the air. NASA currently recognizes the altitude of 66 miles (100 kilometers) as the point where space officially begins. Therefore, those bugs are considered the first animals to ever visit the final frontier.

Why were fruit flies chosen for the cosmic journey? Genetically, their species has way more in common with Homo sapiens than you might think. Around 75 percent of all the disease-causing genes present in humans have analogues in the fruit fly's genetic code. Studying fruit flies can therefore teach us a lot about our own genetic make-up, which is a big reason the insects are so popular amongst biological researchers. It's also the reason the White Sands Missile Range wanted to see what would happen to them in outer space.

On the V-2's descent back to Earth, a capsule containing the fruit flies broke away and a parachute slowly lowered it down onto New Mexican soil. The scientists were relieved to see that the flies were still alive. More importantly, the cosmic radiation had no genetic effect on them. In other words, the insects hadn't been mutated in space. That encouraged biologists to launch other animals on V-2 excursions. By the time NASA was founded in 1958, America had sent numerous hamsters, mice and monkeys into space (sadly, though, many of those didn't make it back alive).

Here's what it would take to survive this particular doomsday prophecy

Stephen Hawking had made apocalyptic predictions. The respected theoretical physicist warns that humanity needs to become a multi-planetary species within the next century if we don’t want to go extinct. Last year, he prophesied that we had maybe 1,000 years left on Earth, and the inspiration for this newly-urgent timeline is unclear—except for the fact that Hawking’s new documentary about colonizing Mars is coming out soon.

To be sure, Earth is facing some big problems, including climate change, overpopulation, epidemics, and asteroid strikes. But before we flee this planet like an action hero jumping out of an explosion, let’s think about this for a second. Sure, it’d be great to have a backup civilization somewhere in case asteroids wipe out all life on Earth. And it would be one of the most exciting things humankind has ever done. But what would it actually require?

Finding a second home for humanity

Mars is a somewhat obvious choice because it’s nearby, but it’s not exactly Earth 2.0. In fact, it’s arguably a lot worse off than Earth. It has toxic soil, it’s freezing cold, and the air is unbreathable. Any Martian colony would likely rely on regular care packages from home, which would not work well if Earth was done-zo.

If we really want to find the perfect home away from home, we could look to other star systems: with billions of planets in the Milky Way, there’s a good chance some will have water, land, and breathable air. But so far we haven’t found Earth’s twin, and our telescopes don’t have the kind of resolution that could tell us in detail what an exoplanet is like. Also, it would take hundreds of years to get there, and if those passengers don’t die along the way, they’d likely evolve into a new species before they even got to their new planet.

Bringing enough people

We would need to send significant numbers of people to other worlds in order to ensure the survival of the human species. Small colonies are subject to genetic anomalies from inbreeding, and vulnerable to getting wiped out in accidents.

NASA’s missions to Mars will likely only carry as many as six people at a time to the red planet. SpaceX wants to develop an Interplanetary Transport System to deliver 100 Martian settlers at a time, but at the moment it is nothing more than an imaginary behemoth.

The interstellar route is even more challenging, because we don’t even have an imaginary spacecraft capable of supporting thousands of people for hundreds of years on an interstellar journey.

And in either case, there’s always the politically charged question of: who goes and who stays? Do poor and disadvantaged people get left behind on a hellish world?

Making ourselves at home

If we really want to thrive on another planet, we’ll probably have to adapt the environment to suit our needs. Sure, we might be able to terraform Mars, but it would take about 100,000 years for its atmosphere to become breathable. Hope you’re not in a rush to go outdoors without a gas mask anytime soon.

Paying for it

NASA’s Journey to Mars is expected to cost up to $1.5 trillion. And that’s just for the first crews. Later on, launches bringing settlers and supplies to the colony would probably still cost hundreds of millions of dollars each.

And SpaceX’s plan to build the Interplanetary Transport System sounds great, but CEO Elon Musk has been very open about saying the company has no idea how it would pay for such a vessel.

And exactly who would pay to colonize Mars? Why would the U.S. government spend all that money to sustain a colony? What would we get out of it, besides better chances for the survival of our species? Will the Martian colony produce valuable exports, besides the (obviously awesome) scientific discoveries that would come out of it?

Surely there are a few wealthy Earthlings willing to pay millions of dollars each for a ride to and a habitat on an alien world, but the majority of folks who want to go to the red planet hope to come home afterwards.

Solving the problems that are killing Earth

History has a tendency to repeat itself. Even if we do successfully colonize another planet, we’ll still have to solve all the problems that Earth currently faces. Our technologies are just as likely to destroy the environment on other planets, and epidemics and asteroids could wipe out a Martian settlement much easier than they could obliterate the entire population of Earth.

The television show that Stephen Hawking is promoting is all about how human ingenuity is solving the challenges of colonizing Mars. Well, surely if we can figure out how to survive on a completely alien world, then we can figure out how to survive in our own home—possibly a lot more easily and cheaply than the alternative.

Remembering Belka and Strelka

On August 19, 1960, the Soviet Union launched the Sputnik 5 capsule containing 40 mice, two rats, a rabbit, some fruit flies, plants—and a pair of dogs, Belka (“Whitey”) and Strelka (“Little Arrow.”) They were the first living creatures to go into orbit and return safely. And they gave the Soviets confidence to send a human into space less than a year later.

You can see contemporary footage of the space dogs here; https://youtu.be/u4SUH9qITxE .

According to Chris Dubbs, author of Space Dogs: Pioneers of Space Travel, Russian space doctors were at first alarmed when TV transmissions from the Sputnik 5 capsule showed neither dog moving the slightest bit during the first three orbits.

Finally, on the fourth orbit, Belka gave a little shudder and vomited. It seemed to snap both dogs out of a trance, breaking the spell of the strange experience of being without gravity. For the rest of the flight they looked more alert.

Before Belka and Strelka, there were some failed attempts to return safely earth...

Laika , the first animal to orbit Earth.
The Sad, Sad Story of Laika, the Space Dog, and Her One-Way Trip into Orbit.

A stray Moscow pup; Laika traveled into orbit in 1957 with one meal and only a seven-day oxygen supply. Laika was placed in the satellite on 31 October 1957 and was fitted with a harness and chains that would control her movement. While in Sputnik 2 Laika could stand, sit and lie down, she would be unable to turn around. In the early hours of 3 November liftoff finally occurred, but there were immediate problems. Laika’s heart rate jumped to 240 beats per minute, compared to 103 before launch, while her respiration was almost four times faster. Crucially, the Blok A core of Sputnik 2’s nose cone didn’t separate, which stopped the thermal control system operating properly, raising the temperature to 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). Although Laika’s pulse slowly returned to normal, after five to seven hours she was dead.

“With hundreds of thousands of nebulae, each containing thousands of millions of suns, the odds are enormous that there must be immense numbers which possess planets whose circumstances would not render life impossible,”

Winston Churchill (1939, from the conclusion of his Lost Extraterrestrial Essay; “Are We Alone in the Universe?”  He wrote these words on the eve of World War II—more than half a century before exoplanets were discovered. )
