Caenorhabditis elegans DNA Visualised using AminoSee
Posted by tomachi on November 12th, 2018 filed in ScienceThe first complex multi-celled organism in the world to have it's entire genome sequenced. I've created a visualisation algorithm to convert DNA into PNG! I'm working on a program called AminoSee that is (eventually) going to be able to project the image below into a 3D model one day at the following URL: funk.co.nz/aminosee
The colours are based on which Amino Acid is being coded. Start / stop codons delimit the 6 pixel rhythm you can discern. This is done to boost the colour when zoomed out using an effect I call "the zooming of an interference pattern". It's like how a laser can be used to see microscopically. The source code to generate these is available free with the GPLv2 "copyleft", which means any modifications you make have to be made available to the community also free.
The image is half blank its a bug yeah I know.
Based on the DNA file:
Caenorhabditis_elegans.WBcel235.dna_sm.toplevel.fa
Caenorhabditis elegans is a free-living, transparent nematode, about 1 mm in length, that lives in temperate soil environments.
Class: Chromadorea
Scientific name: Caenorhabditis elegans
Phylum: Nematoda
Rank: Species
Higher classification: Caenorhabditis
Patentable Top Secret Information
Posted by tomachi on October 17th, 2018 filed in ScienceUFO's are normally kept Top Secret as is the tradition. But like getting an oil stain from a white shirt is next to impossible, getting the useful science information out to the public is next to impossible when there is official denial at the highest levels.
In what way would the release of alien technology damage our national interests?
I am arguing that the it is the designation of top secret placed on advanced energy technology that is the true risk to our national security. What does national security mean anyway? If information marked NZEO (NZ eyes only) could lead to a New Zealand-issued technology patent, we could lead the world and become a wealthy nation, but if not then the people with security clearance and Top Secret access have unfair advantage in business; but much likely outcome is that they don't tell anyone and take it to the grave. Often we see confessionals from the deathbed.
If the information comes from other countries - sure I can understand the need for it to remain secret. However... what if "the information" has not / is not / will not be provided to us by the five eyes network we've been on since 1955?
You can't keep a secret that you have not been told right?
In New Zealand, our official reasons for keeping certain pieces of information as the highest level known - "Top Secret" - are:
- Compromise of information would damage national interests in an exceptionally grave manner
- Directly threaten the internal stability of NZ or friendly countries
- Lead directly to widespread loss of life
- Cause exceptionally grave damage to the operational effectiveness or security of New Zealand or friendly forces or the effectiveness of extremely valuable
security or intelligence operations - Cause extremely grave damage to relations with other governments
- Cause severe long-term damage to significant national infrastructure
Designation can be visualised in the following flowchart:
Furthermore, what if NZSIS uncovers leaked information from governments not in the five eyes, that has then made it into the public domain? That idea was spawned by reading this BusinessInsider article regarding Chinese involvement with the politics of Australia and NZ.
Does it either:
a) officially deny the info, make up stories to discredit it and the authors? or...
b) officially confirm the info, opening the path for true scientific discovery!
ET science can not begin until sovereign governments admit the existence of life on other planets. Only then can it be taken seriously, and only when the fear of talking by our community is removed can the learning begin.
As it happens, this has already occurred. Afghanistan became the first country to officially recognise the existence as can be seen in this leaked Afghan government cable; and Former Canadian Defense Minister show in the video below.
I'm going to push for the establishment of a Ministry of Extra Terrestrial Affairs, with a built-in "truth and reconciliation" amnesty system to allow whistleblowers and consultants to come forward without fear of prosecution.
Bases on The Moon
Posted by tomachi on October 15th, 2018 filed in ScienceWell this changes everything. The Lunascan Project / SPSR image below shows structures on the dark side of the moon, in the Crater Paracelsus C:
Some would argue this is not new information since it may have been discovered 30 years ago on the Apollo missions. To that I say, why do the voting public put up with government space research that ends up being withheld from the public that paid for it?
Photogrammetry extrapolations were made to create a 3D model:

Spacecraft seen flying in front of The Moon in Italy and USA
In other Moon related news, we have moving picture footage from two cameras in two different countries. Two amateur telescope operators appear to have filmed the same UFO passing in front of said planetary body.
It is extremely rare to capture such clear UFO phenomena video from multiple independent sources. I've set this embed to start at 3:30 in:
Telescopic video shot from Earth is from Italy and USA shows a UFO passing over Tyco crater.

I've asked our government to solve the problem with high frequency trading
Posted by tomachi on October 1st, 2018 filed in BusinessSpecifically, high frequency trading could be eliminated by packetising the buy/sell orders into blocks;
- trading is queued and done in batches each 200 ms
- this automatically makes it impossible to do spoofing, your order is now live for 200 ms
- better returns for investors due to less value taken by HFT (high frequency traders)
- buy/sell announcements are published at same 200 ms delay
- all market participants have time to react, and send orders inside 200 ms, equally.
- those close to the market get less benefit now
- normal traders aren't having their order queues jumped by their broker

A potential mathematical solution to the question: 432 hz or 440 hz?
Posted by tomachi on August 22nd, 2018 filed in Music, ScienceThere exist 14 numbers below fifty that you can multiply up to reach 432 without the use of fractions. The number 440 has not a single whole integer factor below 50, and the only factor that isn't some recurring irrational number is 27 x 27.5 = 440. Compare this with 432 which has a whopping 14 factors in the full list at bottom of this article but they are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 36, 48. They even share the number 27 as a common factor.

Whats better? 432 or 440 hz for the tuning of concert pitch middle A.
It always partly annoyed me to hear that certain frequencies possibly had special significance in the universe.. more so than say other frequencies.
Because frequencies are measured in hertz - cycles per second - and a second aint no thang - it's just an 86400th fraction of a solar day, which by the way is 4 minutes longer than Earth's actual rotation time, which I guess must be about 23 hours 56 minutes:
the time taken by the earth to rotate on its axis relative to the stars, is almost four minutes shorter than the solar day because of the earth's orbital motion.
To put another way, it is not special nature of the universe type thing. It's artbitrary. And it is getting longer each day so I don't see why it would have any special significance. Time is something we project on the universe not the other way round. If anything I'd pick the Schumann resonance of 7.83 Hertz but that's hardly an even number nor needs to be.
The Schumann resonances are a set of spectrum peaks in the extremely low frequency (ELF) portion of the Earth's electromagnetic field spectrum. Schumann resonances are global electromagnetic resonances, generated and excited by lightning discharges in the cavity formed by the Earth's surface and the ionosphere.
The length of the second is changing: Earth doesn’t rotate uniformly. In fact, it’s rotation decreases being late by 20 millionths of a second every calendar year due to tidal friction caused by the Moon. Currently it is increasing the length of the day by about 2.3 milliseconds per century. A million years from now the day will be about an hour longer.
