Using Ciphers: Part One

The Ceasar cipher is a cipher reportedly used by the famous Roman general Julius Ceasar to communicate with his allies. It is a very simple cipher which is easy to encrypt and to decipher. But, how do you use the Ceasar cipher? Well, I can teach you that! First you pick what message you want to encrypt. For example, "The cat jumped over the moon." Then, you need to choose how much you want to shift it. Let's say a right shift by 5. That means A becomes F as the letter is shifted by 5. So, the alphabet which was "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" becomes "FGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDE." The message becomes "Ymj hfy ozruji tajw ymj rtts." To decrypt is a simple matter of guess and check. One tip you can keep in mind is that in long messages keep an eye out for the most common letter as there is a chance that that letter is "E". The reason for this? Well, it is the most common letter written.

As time moved on the Ceasar cipher proved inadequate as it is easy to decrypt so the Polyalphabetic cipher. A good cipher is a cipher which makes the letter distribution equal. The Polyalphabetic cipher was widely used by the 15th century. Let's encrypt the same message using the Polyalphabetic cipher.

Polyalphabetic table:

First you need a shift word. Let's say "fiddle". First you need to change the letters in the word into numbers by using the placement of the letter in the alphabet. So, A becomes 1 and B becomes 2. The alphabet which was "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" becomes "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26." The shift word becomes "6 9 4 4 12 5." Then you apply it to the message.
                
      T h e      c a t      j u m p e d      o v e r      t h e      m o o n.
 6   9   4     4 12 5   6   9  4   4   12 5     6   9  4  4   12 5   6     9    4  4   12

Then you shift the letter by whatever number is below so "T" is shifted to the right by 6 spaces. The end result is "Zqi gmy pdqtqi ueiv fmk vssz." Why is it better? Well, it uses multiple shifts instead of 1. Now, in order to break any code you need to look for leaks of information. In this case, you can find that the sequence repeats every 6 letters.

I think that using ciphers is an entertaining way to improve your logical skills. You can use this to send secret messages to your friends and you can ask your friends to write back so you can try to decode their message. I got this information from Khan Academy's series of lessons on cryptology.

Bloodhound SSC

As a new year begins more scientific tests will be conducted to break the existing records. Among these tests, the one that caught my eye is the Bloodhound SSC (Super-Sonic Car) project. Its goal? To break the land speed record.

It will be tested in early 2015 at South Africa Hakskeen Pan. The driver will be Andy Green. He is the one who drove Thrust SSC which is the car that set the previous land speed record. The project director is Richard Noble, the man who started the Thrust 2 and the Thrust SSC. The test will be conducted on a 12 mile track. The current land speed record is 763.035 mph. The aim of Bloodhound SSC is to reach 1,050 mph or Mach 1.4. The car is calculated to reach 1,000 mph in 55 seconds. At its top speed, the wheels will spin at 10304 rpm.  The car will travel 150 meters in the blink of an eye.  The car will be faster than a Magnum 357 bullet when the car reaches the maximum speed.

The main competitors of Bloodhound SSC are the RV1 from the bullet project, the Aussie Invader 5R designed by Australian drag race record-holder Rosco McGlashan and the North American Eagle which is actually based on the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter.

Summary: I am really, really excited about this project. I think that this is a great way to encourage youth to get into science. Good luck to all these projects!

Video Game Review: Spintires 2014

This game is about driving old Soviet-era trucks to deliver lumber through rugged terrain full of mud, rocks and rivers. You have to manoeuvre these huge trucks through whatever nature throws at you. You also can use off-road cars to explore the terrain.

A truck driving across mud

I got it 33% discount on Steam. The first time I logged on to play, my truck got stuck in the mud. You will have to get used to that when you are playing Spintires. This game is about planning to avoid obstacles instead of just gunning the throttle and that's what makes it stand out from other racing games. If you just put you foot down on the throttle you will get stuck in the mud and even if you try to get out you can't as that will cause you to get stuck even deeper.

Another thing that makes it stand out is the physics. You can really feel the trucks weight as it deforms the mud leaving huge tire tracks in it's wake. The water physics is also really good, you can see the truck creating waves in the water. Plus a running river does wash away the truck albeit slowly. You can smash down smaller trees. There is also damage model. The graphics are really beautiful.

A truck pulling a fuel tanker across a lake at night.

A map called "River" in Spintires

You have to deliver trees from the logging camp to the designated point. You have lots of add-ons which do many things such as carrying fuel and repairing other vehicles. The map is quite small but you move so slowly that it feels huge! There are some vehicles scattered around that you might have to repair and refuel to drive again. There are also buildings such as the fuel tank to refill the tank of the truck and the add-ons if it's available. There aren't many vehicles however there are a lot of mods to add more vehicles. At the start of the game you will find that, on the mini-map, most of it is covered by "cloaks" which makes the terrain not visible. You have to go to the centre of the area on the mini-map that the cloak covered in order to reveal the terrain.

Conclusion: This is a very good game with good physics and graphics. However, the direction of the game camera is awful. That's why I give this game a 9/10. Here is the link to the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiOt7SuHGPM.

Moved to Malaysia

I moved to Malaysia as my father has relocated here. I am going to study at an international school called Rafflesia. I have already passed PSLE in Singapore.  Then I took an entrance test at the new school and has been accepted to attend Secondary 2. Here is the schools website:http://welcome.rafflesia.edu.my/. I am excited to study the Cambridge Secondary subjects because the syllabus is different from the one in Singapore.

Neutron stars

An artists depiction of a neutron star

Neutron Stars are the left-overs of stars that have died in supernovae. They are the smallest and densest stars ever found. They are very rare and very small. However, they are extremely interesting.

A supernova happens at the end of a giant star's life when they are unable to stop the heavy core of the star from collapsing under the gravity that it produces. This causes a huge implosion, which is the opposite of an explosion, often burning brighter than an entire galaxy. When all the materials from the outer shell is ejected, a lone neutron star, about the size of a city, shines dimly.

The inner structure of a neutron star.
The inner core's structure is unknown

This neutron star, approximately 140000 times smaller than the Sun, weighs up to 3 times as heavy as the Sun! A single teaspoon of neutron star weighs as much as a mountain. Thus, the strong gravitational forces and magnetic fields of the neutron star will destroy any object that comes too close to it.


In conclusion neutron stars are very strange and dangerous. However I am fascinated by them.

P6 PSLE Exams

This year I turned 12 years old and I had to go to the final year of primary school in Singapore. I was unable to write too many blog posts due to PSLE (Primary School Leaving Examination). But, I am now able to create some posts as the PSLE exam is over. Expect one this week.

Spirulina

 During my visit to Myanmar over the holidays. I visited the Twin Taung crater near my home-town of Monywa. This is one of only three places in the world where a type of cyanobacterium (Google that yourself) called spirulina (to be more specific it is Arthrospira plattensis) is harvested and then exported to countries all around the world.

Notice on the map that there are four craters and they are in a straight line. I think that a meteorite came and hit the crater I have been to and then formed the others. The craters then formed lakes due to perhaps rainfall.

Twin Taung

Spirulina is used in health and beauty products. It was first eaten by Aztecs who harvested it from Lake Texcoco then made it into cakes and sold them as described by Cortés's soldiers. It is also found in Lake Chad in Chad.

There are a lot of cattails around the lake and pagodas. It is 200m above ground level. The road leading to it is very bumpy and bullock carts are a common sight. There is a spirulina production factory there.

Conclusion: The view was phenomenal and although it smelled very fishy it was very cool as supposed to the freezing temperatures outside this crater.

Update: The amount of spirulina is decreasing and probably going to run out soon. 15/10/2014

Blue sky? Not!

The sky

The sky is not blue!
It's just light playing tricks on you!
(I knew I was never a good poet)






Sunset

A prism

The sun produces white light, but if you use a prism then the "white" light splits up into the colours of the rainbow. Blue light waves are shorter then red ones so they scatter more easily than other colours so the sky is blue. But, during sunset the sky is red in colour. Why is that so? Well, red has the longest waves so they are the hardest to scatter. During, sunset light has to go through more gas particles in the atmosphere so every colour except red gets scattered so the sky looks red.

Oh and in case you are wondering why the sky is not violet, the shortest wave length, it is because some of it is absorbed by the atmosphere and our eyes are not that sensitive to it. Clouds are white because they consists of particles larger than the wavelengths so all of the colours are scattered equally.

The structure of a type of terpene called Myrcene

Blue haze

                                    Mountainous regions sometimes have a
blue haze. This is because of terpene, which is a class organic materials from insects and plants, particularly conifers which is commonly found on mountains. These terpene chemicals react with the ozone layer and form particles around 200 Nano-metres across so they scatter blue light like the sky.




A blue moon

 Also there is the rare blue moon caused by forest fires or volcano eruptions on Earth. These events cause particles no more than 800 Nano-metres in diameter to spread out. These particles scatter out red light, so the only colour left is blue and that what makes a blue moon.





Conclusion: Because the science behind the topic is fascinating, I give it a 10/10!

Video Game Review: Spore

Spore is a game where one can create their own creature and control it through the five stages of life in this game. It is quite old now. The storyline is that a meteorite crashes into the planet that you have selected and one of the fragments sinks into the sea. There your cell hatches and the game begins. This game does not have an ending. However, the main objectives of the entire game is to survive, get to the centre of the universe that you live in and defeat the Grox (you can also make friends with them but all the other species will instantly declare war on you and attack you).

A cell

The first stage is the cell stage where you have to eat plants or meat to survive and level up. You also collect cell parts either by finding meteorites or killing cells with cell parts that you do not have. You put these new parts on by accessing the creature creator. This stage is relatively easy.

A creature

 After that stage comes the Creature stage. Here you develop legs (though it is not necessary) and you do the same as the previous stage in the sense that you keep collecting new parts for your creature, eating and killing animals. However unlike the previous stage you can befriend animals and that will also get you new parts. If you attack an egg or a baby belonging to another animals nest then they will instantly attack you and hate you. There is a chance of your family migrating to another nest. The creature creator then lets you put parts on and weapons on like the previous stage. However, now you can modify your creature in 3D. This mode is a little bit trickier as some animals are hard to kill and they will attack you even if you do not provoke them. There are a more variety of animals such as epics that are huge creatures that can kill you in one attack and rogues who very easily provoked but if made friendly there are a useful friend when you want to kill an epic.

A tribe

Then after that comes the tribal stage where you hunt animals and use weapons to destroy of befriend other tribes. There is a new method of playing which is a more strategy-esc method. You can kill or befriend other tribes. There are still epics although they are easier to kill with a more advanced tribe. Once in this mode you cannot change the appearance of you creature but, your tribes-men can use the aggressive or social parts that you fitted on in the creature stage like spit for example and you can change the clothing of your tribes-man. You can also fit weapons like axes and instruments like maracas to help destroy or impress other tribes. Another feature is domestication where an animal becomes your pet which will protect you from attackers and give you food. Also you can use your special abilities to help yourself. Different ones can be obtained by consequence which depends on your actions before each stage.



A city

After that comes the civilisation stage in this stage you have to conquer the whole world competing against different cities. All other cities are your species. The best thing about this stage is that you can create you own vehicles on land, in the ocean and in the air. Land-based vehicles can only go on land (surprise, surprise!) They are useful for taking over the continent which you start in. The sea-based vehicles can help you capture oil derricks in the sea. Air-based vehicles can travel anywhere but they cannot capture oil derricks. Oil derricks boost your income. You control cities and you can put houses (which increases the amount of vehicles you can have and doubles the effects of the other buildings), factories (which increases income but lowers happiness) and entertainment buildings (which increase happiness). This mode is quite easy

Grox

And finally we have the space stage! You have to build an empire by placing colonies on planets. This stage does not end. You have a space ship that has a lot of tools such lasers and machines that makes creatures epics. You can buy more tools from empires but their costs vary depending on the type of empire. You can make friends with empires and eventually buy their solar systems or you can take over the planet and make them surrender. When you travel to the centre of the galaxy you will find the Grox who like the epics will attack you upon sight. Eventually you will reach the centre of the universe and find a mysterious being.

Conclusion: Spore is a great game and it has a lot of content. So much that I have only covered about 20% of the whole game! If you want to find out more then go to the Spore wiki. I give this game a 10/10.

HD 189773b: The Blue Planet that Rains Glass

HD 189773b

The planet named as HD 189773b looks cosy and Earth-like. Doesn't it? However, you would not like to live there. Firstly, the surface temperature there is 1,000°C (1,832°F) and secondly, it rains glass, sideways, at the speed of 4000 mph.

In space terms, this planet not far from Earth. It is actually a mere 63 light years (370,353,398,510,567 miles) away . So that is why Hubble and other telescopes that are orbiting Earth can see it in so much details. On October 5th 2005, an astronomer in France found this planet orbiting the star HD 189733a (note that our sun is also a star). It orbits the star at a speed of 341,000 mph (549,000 kph). In comparison, our Earth's average orbiting speed is 67,000mph(107,200 kph). This planet has a mass that is 13% more than the mass of Jupiter (which is the largest planet in our solar system and is made of gas). This makes it a hot Jupiter (which means it is a hot gas planet about the same size of Jupiter) and destroy almost all prospects of extra-terrestrial life. Every year on HD 189773b is equivalent to 2.2 Earth days because it orbits its star very closely.


A graph of the visible-light colours of planets 
including HD 189733b

On March 2010 it was found out that this planet is evaporating at a rate of 1,000,000,000 to 100,000,000,000 grams every second. In July (which, by the way is the month I was born in :-)) this year, NASA also found out that this planet blocks three times more X-rays than visible light.  

The blue colour of the planet is thought to have come from silicate particles which scatter blue lights. These particles, which are found in the planets atmosphere, then condense into glass due to very hgih temperature. That is why it rains glass.

Conclusion: It is very unusual to find a planet like this. However there is not a lot of interesting stuff about this planet because no extra-terrestrial life can survive there. I give it a 7/10

Europa: A Possible Source of Extraterrestrial (ET) life?

In our Solar system, the planet Jupiter has 67 moons. Europa is one of those 67 moons. It is the sixth largest moon in the Solar System. It was discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610. But what most people do not know was that Europa was possibly discovered by Simon Marius, a German astronomer, around the same time that Galileo discovered it. At that time people thought that it was just an insignificant and tiny dot in the sky, but recent studies suggest that Europa might be a potential harbour for life.

Europa

There is an ocean with liquid water beneath the icy crust! The reason? Tidal flexing which cause the ice to melt into water. What is tidal flexing? Well, it is hard to explain so click here to read an article about it. Anyway, scientists believe that life there could be similar to life found in the deep ocean (that region it also called the Hadalpelagic zone) on Earth.

The internal structure of Europa with Jupiter in the background

Now, if your looking at the labels of this blog post you may be wondering what bullets have got to do with Europa. Well, researchers at University College London  have designed a 19.6 kg bullet that is loaded with scientific equipments such as seismograph to measure tremors and a miniature chemistry lab to study the ice and the water beneath it. This giant missile could smash through the icy crust of Europa. This could be deployed around 2023 and it could answer one of the greatest mysteries in our solar system: Is there life on Europa (and if the answer is yes, whether it likes getting shot at by a giant bullet).

Conclusion: Europa is a very exciting natural satellite (moon) and I love the simplicity the research plan. I think if there is life up there then it would look very familiar to tube worms and other deep sea creatures. For this innovative method and awesomeness at the prospect of finding extraterrestrial life that is so close to our planet, I give this research and Europa a 10/10.

The late heavy bombardment: an important source of life on the Earth?

An artists impression of our moon during
and after the late heavy bombardment

You might wonder how comes there are so many craters on the planets and moons. Scientists say that this is due to the late heavy bombardment which is an hypothetical event that happened around 3.8 to 4.1 billion years ago. During this event a large number of comets and meteoroids would have collided with Earth and all the other planets and moon.

The late heavy bombardment had also affected our planet Earth. There had been 22,000 or more craters with diameters less than 20 km and about 40 craters with diameters that are about 1000 km and several craters that are about 5000 km in diameter on Earth. These collisions could have been the source of life on Earth because some of these comets that collided with Earth were made of ice and then the ice melted to form water which paved the way for life.


An artists impression of Eta Corvi and
a planet being hit by a shower of comets

Such event not only happened in our solar system. Evidence shows that another star from the constellation Corvus also had an event that is similar to our own late heavy bombardment. That star is called Eta Corvi. It is a F-type main sequence star which is similar to the sun in our own solar system. Eta Corvi is a white star that is in its main stage of life. It is 40% larger than the sun but 30% younger than the sun.



A meteorite

There are many theories on how this event had happened, but to me the most probable reason is the hypothesis put forwarded by Professor Brian Cox in my favourite BBC documentary "Wonders of the Solar System". He suggested that Jupiter and Saturn would meet up once every two years due to their different orbits. When they met up around 3 to 4 billion years ago, their combined gravity had pushed Neptune into the directions of some comets and meteorites. Neptune would have then knocked the comets and meteorites out of their usual orbits. These comets and meteorites disturbed by Neptune then hit all the planets and moons.

Conclusion: This solar system would have been very different and less interesting if this event had not happened. Also we might not be here if this event did not happen. For these reasons I give this event on the level of importance a 9/10.

Mystery beetle with amazing defence machnism

This is going to be the first animal guessing competition. All you have to do is write the name of the animal in the comments section. I will notify you when the correct answer is in the comments. We going to start of nice and easy with this beetle which is 1.27cm to 1.9 cm long. It is named after the ingenious defence mechanism which it carries in its abdomen and that is why it is one of my favourite animals.

This beetle mixes two chemicals (hydrogen-peroxide and hydroquinone) and uses a muscle called the Sphincter's muscle to inject the mixture into a water filled explosion chamber. Then, the mixture is kept in the chamber until it is threatened.

When it is threatened, another chemical called catalase is added into the mixture causing steam. The steam, which can be as hot as 100 degrees Celsius, is then fired out of two nozzles at a speed of 20 metres per second (72 kilometers (45 miles) per hour) with pin point accuracy. This scorching and strong injection of steam is fatal to attacking insects and small creatures. It can even cause pain to human beings!

This beetle is carnivorous and hunts in the night. It lives in all the continents except Antarctica. You can find this beetle in woodlands or grasslands but they can be found in other places moist enough to lay their eggs.

Summary: I like this beetle because of the clever and brilliant defence mechanism it has. With further understanding, we can learn a lot from this fascinating beetle and we can apply the knowledge to engine technology which will improve our daily lives. So, I give this beetle a 10/10.

Video Game Review : Blockade Runner Alpha

Blockade Runner



To me this game is like the space version of Minecaft. This game is made by Zan MGT which is a studio started by six siblings called Zack, Aaron, Nathan, Micah, Gabriel and Terah. If you put the first letters of each of their names together you get Zan MGT. You build space ships with blocks and then put weapons and armour plating for protection.


There are six different types of building materials : Frame, Plating, Interior, Glass, Parts and Decor. There are also different tools that help you build your spaceship faster like symmetry. There are different types of weapons. My personal favourite is the cannon which is like a machine gun. There is a multiplayer that is quite like Minecraft in the case that they both use servers and a solo mode. There is not a lot I can write about as it is still under development.

The following picture shows debris from a asteroid. When you break ice or rock blocks, you get round debris but if you brake frame blocks the debris will be very sharp.





Debris from a asteriod

 I have built three supporting spaceships. But, I am still building the mothership. My spaceships are black with a red line down the middle and have my insignia which looks like two red squares running diagonally and two white squares running diagonally.

I built the following spaceship as a testbed for weapons and that is why I named it TB-5. You can place any weapon on this ship even the Tai Cannon which is the biggest weapon in the game.



TB-5

I built the following spaceship because I wanted a spaceship that was fast. It is named SLS-50 because it is a small, lightweight-ish ship. It only has one static gun. It is based on the BARC speeder from Star Wars.



SLS-50



I built this spaceship to attack other enemy space ship. This spaceship is the one that I like the most. It has nine static guns, ten X-blasters and two cannons. I named it as a Heavy Fighter because of the large number of weapons it has.





T-10P Heavy Fighter



T-10P Heavy Fighter firing



I did not create the following ship, I just thought it looked nice. It is called Sol. Sol is another word for Sun. It has 12 plasma cannons but when you fire them whilst turning, it shoots itself. It is very shiny when light is reflected on the yellow armour plating.

Sol



I am building the following spaceship to be the flagship of my space armada. It is not finished yet. When it is finished it is going to be the biggest ship I have ever created and the biggest ship of all the user-made spaceships I know of. It is going to have a lot of weapons. The shape of completed spaceship may be completely different from it's current shape.


CR-10 BL-class MOTHERSHIP

Summary: I like this game because you can build enormous spaceships with a million weapons and you can let your creativity run wild. Also the price is only $10. What I do not like about this game is that it sometimes crashes because it is still in development and it focuses too much on multiplayer. I give this game a 8/10.
