Crucial science research project, not China spy balloon, eh.



“Humanity was just cheated by American warmongering hillbillies, again. China claims its high-altitude balloon festooned with magnetometers, antennae, other sensors and rare scientific apparatus was a scientific research project that had gone off course. That now appears to be true. Actually, America knows this but will now feel compelled to lie,” explains correspondent Sara Qin who has been translating scientific research papers at a university library in Beijing.

Any way you slice it, from here in Asia, the Pentagon is nothing more than a bunch of larcenous, unreliable buffoons.

Joe Biden’s taking of Chinese scientist’s property with intent to deprive the rightful owner of it permanently seems to be in character with the GOP’s description of today’s Biden family.

After declaring the balloon harmless, the USA on Saturday killed a Chinese scientific research balloon way off course that conducted experiments once it completely traversed the USA and all of its alleged spying was done. Does that make sense?

The Jetstream

Oops. This was an amazing scientific experiment that went off course. Background:

China has an extensive satellite network capable of seeing anything on the surface of the Earth, and other celestial bodies as well, including the dark side of the moon. Why would China use a balloon to spy on America? It did not, apparently.

Digging in recent year archives it is apparent that in 2019, China’s scientists learned that magnetotactic bacteria has survived in the extreme environment of the outer troposphere and lower stratosphere (about 23 kilometers above sea level) and is trying to learn more. (Survival of the magnetotactic bacterium Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense exposed to Earth’s lower near space.)

“Magnetotactic bacteria, were discovered by Blakemore in 1975. The characteristic of the bacterium is magnetotactic due to its cell containing magnetosomes consisting of iron crystals that often arrange in chains along the magnetic lines. The iron crystals are made of Fe3O4, Fe3S4, Fe2O3, FeS etc[source], and are enveloped by the cytoplasmic membrane. The first strain of pure culture of this kind of bacterium was Aquaspirillum magnetotacticumMagnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1 and M. magnetotacticum MS-1 has been isolated and identified one after another. Magnetotactic bacteria might serve as a model system for understanding the physiological function of magnetic crystals in higher organisms and even cerebrum of humans.”  English Source and bibliography.

“Magnetotactic bacteria is a general term for a group of bacteria which is gram-negative bacteria that can move along magnetic field under the action of an external magnetic field due to a series of magnetite crystals designated as magnetosomes in their cytoplasm[source]. Each magnetosome consists of an internal magnetite crystal and outer bilayer phospholipid membranes. Dozens of magnetosomes are arranged in chains within magnetotactic bacteria by the action of cytoskeleton. Magnetosomes have the characteristics of nanometer-sizesingle magnetic domainlarge specific surface areagood biocompatibilitysuperparamagnetism and so on, especially they can be modified through genetic engineering methods, thus magnetosomes are widely used in medical field.”  English Source and bibliography.

According to a Chinese academia scientific report, “the magnetotactic bacteria synthesize iron oxide nanoparticles called magnetosomes covered by biological material and use them as a compass to navigate in the direction of the earth’s magnetic field.”

Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have sent aloft balloon platforms they designed for the biological exposure experiment multiple times since 2019 in north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and northwest China’s Qinghai Province, the first of its kind in the world. “That work has continued but ‘close-to-the-vest’,” reports researcher Sara Qin.

The near space regions of Earth’s atmosphere, the highly intelligent Asian boffins say–20 to 100 kilometers above sea level–is characterized by high radiation, low pressure, cold and dry, resembling, to some extent, the Martian surface. (Microbial diversity and adaptive strategies in the Mars‐like Qaidam Basin, North Tibetan Plateau, China)

The researchers found that a part of one kind of magnetotactic bacteria has survived in the extreme environment above 23,000 meters ASL.

Climbing higher, other nonmagnetic bacterial strains failed to survive in the upper rarified atmosphere according to a Chinese study published last year in the Chinese Science University Journal’s Science Bulletin.

So why not cooperate in this research? (Potential as a natural magnetic hyperthermia material for cancer therapy.)

“Magnetotactic bacteria are ubiquitous microorganisms in nature that synthesize intracellular magnetic nanoparticles called magnetosomes in a gene-controlled way and arrange them in chains. From in vitro to in vivo, we demonstrate that the intact body of Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 has potential as a natural magnetic hyperthermia material for cancer therapy.

Compared to chains of magnetosomes and individual magnetosomes, the entire AMB-1 cell exhibits superior heating capability under an alternating magnetic field. When incubating with tumor cells, the intact AMB-1 cells disperse better than the other two types of magnetosomes, decreasing cellular viability under the control of an alternating magnetic field. Furthermore, in vivo experiments in nude mice with neuroblastoma found that intact AMB-1 cells had the best antitumor activity with magnetic hyperthermia therapy compared to other treatment groups. These findings suggest that the intact body of magnetotactic bacteria has enormous promise as a natural material for tumor magnetic hyperthermia. In biomedical applications, intact and living magnetotactic bacteria play an increasingly essential function as a targeting robot due to their magnetotaxis.” (Changyou Chen, Pingping Wangn, Haitao Chen, Xue Wang, Malka N. Halgamuge, Chuanfang Chen, and Tao Song)

Since fewer Chinese scientists come to America to help American scientists, as was the case for decades, the US has been trying to kill China’s advanced technology. But this work the entire human race needed. There seems to be an angle to this research and those looking at the research think the target for future exploration this would lead to is Venus. But the cancer research is more interesting.

America destroyed many kilograms of data important to the entire human race and important to China’s space and medical research. Maybe China should have been more clear about that? Or were they in the back channels doing just that?

Once the balloon crossed Mongolia and got caught in a shifting jetstream (What Is the Jet Stream? | NOAA SciJinks – All About Weather) it was caught in a unique flow to and from Alaska where the drift was coming from about 320 degrees heading 140 degrees until it hit the North America west-to-east flow and the conical winds aloft pattern we described in a previous issue.

This author’s cronies, life members of Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA)  and others from the AFCEA days as reported in the previous issue on this topic, still believe the Chinese military might have a payload aboard the balloon, but there is no proof of that and in all it was indeed a magnetic array and data collector for scientific research exactly as the People’s Republic of China has declared.

China needs to hold back the tempers in Beijing.

“Destroying the balloon after it was finished crossing the continental USA while pretending to not know anything about the research project, is nothing more than American stupidity. If China doesn’t get it, try being a Canadian and living with the bird-brained-yanks as neighbours day by day, eh.” (Like CJ as his yapping brood crosses the border at Niagara Falls, asking ‘Hey! Where are the Eskimo and their igloos?’)—Editor
