Cleaning Up

In the last few decades, scientists have discovered a swath of organisms that survive by literally eating radioactive waste. This is astonishing for several reasons. First, it was presumed that all life had to survive as a result of photosynthesis (carnivores eat herbivores, that eat vegetation produced by photosynthesis). Second, the uniqueness of these organisms suggest that life is far more resilient than anyone had previously thought.
Since their discovery, researchers have sought, unsuccessfully, to grow them in the lab. While many scientists believe these microbes could be the key to understanding evolution and life on other planets, Jacob Densy care's little about the past. Densy, CEO for Unicore Technologies and Mining, instead believes that these creatures have far more important application in the future. For starters, Densy believes significant progress can be made in cleaning up the worlds nuclear waste if they can only unlock the secrets of their regenerative processes. Second, Densy sees application to the Mars colonization effort. If these microbes can generate energy by eating by-products of radioactivity, perhaps they can generate energy for more advanced plant life on other planets.

68 Days?

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently released a study suggesting Mars One settlers that plan to establish a permanent settlement on Mars would only survive for 68 days as a result of an oxygen poisoned atmosphere. You can read a summary of the story here - or you can simply take my word for it: There are significant hurdles that tech companies will have to jump in order to truly establish a real settlement on the Red Planet.
MIT concluded that technology would have to be developed in order to filter the oxygen out of the air that plants would produce, as well as, future technology to harvest water from the soil on Mars. Sound insurmountable? Maybe. But humanities desire for space exploration is insatiable and I applaud Mars One immensely for taking this first historic step. Surely, their research will drive the demand for technology that CAN accomplish these incredible feats.
So what if they do it? What if Mars One establishes not only a permanent settlement, but other companies join in. What if you could travel safely to Mars and take a vacation to the Olympus Mons volcano? Would you do it?

Press Release - Quantum Engine

NASA's research into the quantum engine led to disaster over the weekend when a crew of three crashed the X-87B Quasar style spacecraft in the Mohave Desert. Names of the pilots are not being released because families have not yet been notified, a senior NASA official has told us.

This marks the third failure in over a year since the development of the quantum engine took off nearly two decades ago. Critics of the technology claim that the thrust is simply too unreliable and while scientists at both NASA and Unicore Technologies disagree, this latest setback threatens to unhinge the entire effort.

Responding to critics, CEO for Unicore Technologies, Jacob Densy, told us that while the theoretical engine seems to break every law of physics, they have empirical proof that it works, and once the mechanics are figured out, this engine will change space flight forever.

Research on gene survivability against infectious disease

Abstract: The increased risk of catching antibiotic resistant infectious diseases has compelled scientists, governments, and corporations to strive together towards a permanent solution. Belker and Johnson (2020) suggest that humanity is not evolving at the same rate of bacteria and viruses, concluding that, without intervention, our immune system will find itself bombarded with diseases it cannot defend against. Erikson, et al (2022) identify mutations in coronavirus (a cold causing virus) that allow it to reproduce within the presence of regulatory T-cells undetected. This paper examines scientific gains made within the last few years, explores cutting edge research into advanced genetic coding to increase human immune response, summarizes the authors recent animal research, and recommends human trials begin immediately.

Press release from Unicore Technologies and Mining

CHICAGO - May 15 - Unicore Technologies and Mining® announced today that they reached a deal with Beijing to deploy their genetically modified plants to irradiated land in Kyrgyzstan. This marks the first time that their species will leave the laboratory for real world testing. These plants have been marketed as highly adaptive and customizable to their environment in the hopes that they can undo the damage of war.

Jacob Densy, Unicore's CEO said: "Unicore is fully committed to the stewardship of the global environment and looks forward to working hand in hand with all governments to make this a better place. We can't wait to see what the future holds."

Genetically Modified Plants

These genetically modified plants were created by Dr. Omri Amirav-Drory in the hopes that one day plants would be able to light up the streets without the expenses of electricity. Dr. Jillian Jaspers, with the help of corporate funding, perfected these plants by developing the capability for them to not only generate light, but to share that light as an energy source to be used for photosynthesis by other plants. These and many more GMOs can now exist in a self-supporting ecosystem.

Photograph documenting the "Dead Zone"

... there came a roar as if the Sun and Earth had come together-

The Sun descending and the Earth ascending

To take its place above... the Primal Matter

Was broken, the womb from which all life began,

Then to the murdered Sun a totem pole of dust arose

in the memory of Man

- The Shadow of Cain - by Edith Sitwell

The Dead Zone is a swath of nuclear waste land resulting from desperate terrain denial strategies during the Great East-West War. While there are many zone's, this one stretches from Northern Poland all the way to the Black Sea.
