21 - 004 A Digital Human has his Covid-19 Vaccination

 

There is nothing quite like writing a blog where you can experience first-hand what you are writing about. The nurse was perplexed by this Digital Human being quite excited about getting the COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2 produced by Biontech Manufacturing GmbH. Yes a German manufactured vaccine from a Belgian plant designed by a Turkish husband and wife team at Biontech. At £14.40 per shot. The so called Pfizer – Biontech vaccine. Not the older English technology vaccine called the Oxford Astrazeneca vaccine.

The Digital Human was to receive a piece of new biological technology being pure virus itself in structure as indicated by it being an mRNA vaccine. Yet to be fully proven over time this new approach does not have the years of usage clocked up by the Oxford Astrazeneca delivery mechanism. To this Digital Human to receive a vaccine simply built like the fundamental viruses of life rather than a more complicate concoction makes sense. Keep it simple if possible. Beat the Covid-19 virus with what amounts to a Biontech designed virus. Logically the body will look to attack the Biontech virus designing the  weapons to do so that will be later used to attack a real Covid-19 virus should it enter the body.

21 - 003 Real Photographs of a Coronavirus

 

At last real photographs of a coronavirus. We have got used to seeing the standard media depictions of the virus where usually an illustrator has produced the symmetrical graphical representation. They usually are made up of very simple geometric shapes and tend to look very symmetrical. Normally a sphere with evenly placed spikes protruding out in a patterned way. Not surprisingly the reality is very different since the cell growth structures in nature are at a cellular level very unstructured and random. Nature does have patterns but at different levels of magnification they vary enormously in their appearance. It is not a surprise to see that coronaviruses have what I term a fluffy cotton wool appearance. It is important to appreciate that down at these nanoscale levels our perception of solids goes into a fuzzy more hairy woolly world. It is quite likely the coronavirus sticks to a human cell in a way more imitating the way a thistle floats in air onto a woollen garment before sticking in place. The nature of movement at a nanoscale level represents itself as being very different to how we see things happening in our human sized world. It is likely that the nanoscale world has its own interpretation of physics. A sort of nanophysics. I am sure the physics laws we have defined in our earthly size of world may be applicable down at a nanoscale. This is why projecting out beyond our world into the universe into the realms of astrophysics also gives us the opportunity to see if our earthly physics rules within our tiny Solar System are still applicable out in the depths of deep space. We may find some different rules out in deep space that may also (or not) apply at the nanoscale level. This brings me back to my favourite subject of consilience but this is not to be explored today.

Look at this Nanographics website where they have taken the output from CryoET images and visually enhanced them using their animation techniques.

CryoET stands for Electron cryotomography that can photograph biological cells in sizes down to below 1-4 nm. The samples being frozen in non-crystalline ice so they can be viewed in a 3D way. These images can be used to build up 3D animations.
