Planet x

Today I learned of a discovery of a 9th planet in our solar system. The planet is said to be a gas giant that is a similar size to Neptune.

It is nice to have 9 planets again after Pluto was demoted to dwarf planet a few years back.  This 9th planet is so far away that it is very hard to see directly but we know it is there because its gravity is affecting other objects. I wonder if this planet has moons going around it. Perhaps it has a moon that is the same size as earth.

I remember reading an article stating that there could even be a second star in our solar system, a distant brown dwarf could be orbiting our star but it is so dim that it would be hard to find.

I wonder if there are many planets yet to to discover in our solar system because the sun's gravity can influence objects that are half way to the next star over 2 and a half light years away. Perhaps there and many planets in our solar system, who knows? There is so much to discover out there!

Youtube and play video merge

I recently discovered that videos that you buy on play store can be viewed on your you tube player (if you are logged in) This is good because YouTube is everywhere. I noticed that some smart boxes won't play your purchased video. I think it is something to do with the box not informing youtube of its location, this seems to be a bug. It is nice to chromecast your purchased play store vid collection on everything.

The Chromecast on YouTube is different to the Chromecast of other apps because it works with non Chromecast devices such as smart tv boxes and games consols.

Street lights, my way

If I designed street lights I would design them so the pole itself emits light and changes colour through the night.

When the sun goes down the lights would be blue in colour. Then around midnight then lights would turn orange. Then gradually between midnight and 02:30 they would turn yellow then from 02:30 till sunrise they would turn more and more red until they turned off.

Wouldn't that be nice. 

Traffic light progress

Traffic lights in my area often treat all roads entering a junction the same. Some roads are busier than others but they get the same amount of time.

Wouldn't it be nice if traffic lights stayed green longer for more busy roads. Or perhaps they could have pressure sensors on the road that detect how many cars are queueing and adjust the amount of time they spend red and green to fit the conditions automatically. That would be very nice.

I wonder how much co2 that would save and if it would improve the traffic.

David Bowie death

David Bowie died from cancer. Every person's body makes cancer cells. But somehow cancer sufferers have cancer cells that can evade the immune cells. I wonder if it is possible to kill cancer cells in the future without damaging healthy tissues. Perhaps micro machines that can detect them and kill them and leave the healthy ones unharmed.

My car the Spanish class

I am leaning Spanish in my car when I drive. I am playing an audio CD to learn Spanish in my car.

I hope that while I drive I will learn Spanish. 

North Korea Nuke test

Recently North Korea tested it's new class of weapons the Hydrogen bomb. Hydrogen bombs work by pushing 4 Hydrogen atoms together to make 1 Helium atom and vast amounts of heat energy, this process is repeated billions of times until the heat energy is so great that it makes the air around it violently explode.

The good thing about the h bomb is that it has no radio active waste so the only victims are those that are hit by the blast of the bomb. It could also be scaled down perhaps even to the grenade level. The bomb is only dangerous to people if it is used on people. If you made the explosion small enough then you could harness the energy and make a new class of nuclear power station.

There is tension right now between north Korea and the west and south Korea right now but it is very possible that in the future there could be a friendship between them just like there is a friendship between Russia and the West today. Perhaps we could be involved in multi national projects in the near future and perform marvels of engineering with them and us. We are already connected to them by then same planet, somehow I feel it could end very well between us if we put our mind to it.

I guess the key is for all the realms in this world to be patient and hesitate hostile responses. Standing back and thinking could literally save lives and bring forth good deeds for all. 

How to kill people

Earlier this week there was mass executions in Saudi Arabia. I think it is wrong to execute people but at least I can hope they kill them in a kind way.

If I chose how they died I would opt to put them in a comfy room and fill the room with nitrogen gas. This would displace the oxygen in the air and cause the people to slowly die of brain damage with no suffering at all.
