Researchers created fully functioning mini brains using bioprinters.

When we think that AI cannot reach the same intelligence level as humans, we talk about binary-computer system-based AI. That AI is a very passive thing. But biological microchips where living neurons communicate with microprocessors are different things. Those systems are in mini-brains. Or cloned neurons that developed for medical testing. Those mini brains involve living neurons that interact similarly, to neurons in the human body. 

"Scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (UWM) say they have created the first 3D-printed brain organoids that function like natural brain tissue." (FreeThink, Scientists create the first “functional” 3D-printed mini brains)

“The neurons communicate, send signals, interact with each other through neurotransmitters, and even form proper networks with support cells that were added to the printed tissue,” said  senior author Su-Chun Zhang." (FreeThink, Scientists create the first “functional” 3D-printed mini brains)

It's possible. That researchers can grow the mini-brains of the same size as human brains. That thing means that artificial brains can have the same intellectual level as human brains. In some science fiction tales the alien civilization is the computer center there are artificial brains under domes. Those brains will interact and control other systems remotely. And the life support system can feed those brains. 

Printed tissues are tools that are bringing new ways to create treatments for accident victims. But printed tissues and especially printed mini brains create possibilities to create new types of morphing neural networks. In those systems. Living neurons live on the microchips and communicate with non-organic microchips. Those biological microprocessors can give the same intelligence to machines as humans have. When researchers connect those cloned neurons with the printed epidermis, that tissue can feed and deliver nutrients for those neurons. 


"The researchers observed electrical activity in the electrode channels above the organoids, showing a reaction to the stimulus. (David Baillot/UC San Diego)" (ScienceAlert, The researchers observed electrical activity in the electrode channels above the organoids, showing a reaction to the stimulus. (David Baillot/UC San Diego))

Mini brains that transferred to mice gave the first reaction to the light. And that thing causes an idea that brain transplantation can be true sooner than we think.

Normally a brain transplant is extremely hard to make. The immune defense will destroy that transplant very soon. But making some large-scale genome transplants in the cell cultures, that thing makes it possible to transform a large number of cells into neurons. Researchers may take those cells from the receiver. Then they create a virus that changes those cells' genomes and turns them into neurons. 

3D bioprinters make it possible to create real-life Frankenstein's monster. 


Those systems can also be in the moving robots. Those robots are tools that the artificial brain can control using a microchip connection that is between the robot's body and brain tissue. If the 3D printer systems can create also other organoids and tissues. Theoretically, the system can print entire humans in the 3D printer system. 

The intelligent artificial brain can be flat. Those neuron layers can be in a flat structure. Neurons are on the top. Then below the neurons is a structure that delivers nutrients for it. And then below that structure are microchips that communicate with axons. The life support system can be AI-controlled. 

The thing is that the printers can also make full-scale brains quite easily. The simplest way is to connect those mini-brains to the network. More advanced 3D bioprinters can also create the same structures as human brains as those artificial brains. The electric system could upload data in the form of hard disks using synthetic neural signals to those neurons.

Researchers found a "pause" button that can stop the human embryo advance.

Researchers found a "pause" button that can stop the human embryo advance. And that thing can have many solutions. In the case of a mother's illness or injury, the medical team can save the embryo's life by stopping its advance. But that ability can make things like interstellar travel possible.  It's one theoretically, a very easy, way to transfer people to the other solar system if we don't want to get them back. The mission controllers can use the human embryos for the other solar system. Those colonists can have the robot controllers, and they can have the training material for the mission. That thing might not yet be possible. Because of our culture and moralistic-ethical thinking. Of course, technology sets limits to that kind of project.  "Research indicates that humans might harness a dormant diapause-like capability to optimize reproductive health and IVF success.

Wormholes and fundamental avionics.

Thoughts about wormholes and hypothetical engines.  Acoustic and electromagnetic systems can create acoustic or electromagnetic channels through air or water. The system can create an acoustic beam or laser beam, that pushes air molecules out of the aircraft's way. That makes the air thinner. And that allows the aircraft to move faster than usual.  An interesting way to raise objects silently up from the ground is to use the tornado that formed above the craft. There is a hatch under the craft and then the system creates an artificial tornado above the craft. Then the craft closes the hatch, and the tornado above the craft pulls it up. The system requires a hatch that can feed rising tornado using air.  The hatch allows it to rise that tornado high enough, that it can pull objects up. The hatch can also used for the acoustic tractor beam. The acoustic tractor beam is the tornado that pulls objects up from the ground. The horizontal tornado makes the craft move faster or it removes
