CHINA DEVELOPING MORE ADVANCED TECH THAN THE WEST? Earlier this month, it announced its plans to be the global leader in artificial intelligence by 2030. One thing is for certain. China’s scientific stature has risen sharply in the last 10 years or so. Recently they announced the launch of an internet messaging system that could literally be ‘impossible to hack,’ according to Chinese State officials. The ‘Jinan network’ is set to be launched this August after a long period of sustained and successful tests. What makes this latest attempt at 100% secure communications is that the technology behind ‘Jinan,’ will 100% use quantum cryptology to detect and defend itself against any cyber-attack.
Quantum encryption vs Traditional encryption methods.
Traditional encryption that most of us use in one form or another, whether we know it or not, works by hiding the encryption key in a very difficult mathematical problem, the answer to which only the recipient of the message sent is supposed to receive.
However, as quantum computing becomes more advanced, the Chinese government has been pouring huge resources into developing more secure technology that itself can’t be hacked by quantum technology. As computers become more powerful, even the latest standard traditional encryption technology, has a time dependent shelf life.
Impossible to hack, not impossible to block
Quantum networks, however, unlike the traditional standard systems mentioned above, send their messages embedded in particles of light. Should any third-party attempt to hack the network, the very nature of the quantum particles used, will be altered.
This has two main effects. The first is that the message will be destroyed or altered to such an extent that it is impossible to decipher. The second is that the Jinan network will automatically know that someone has tried to hack the network. Meaning the message is impossible to read or intercept.
But this also means that hackers could theoretically disrupt all secure communications, by simply interrupting messages on the Jinan network. Again, however, this would mean that at least no one could intercept the messages, which in counter-espionage circles could be described as a win-win situation.

THE LONGEST FILM IN THE WORLD



















On December 31, 2020 a Swedish artist Anders Weberg end his 20 plus years relation with the moving image as a means of creative expression.
After more than 300 films he puts an end with the premiere of what will be a very long film.
Ambiancé is 720 hours long (30 days) and will be shown in its full length on a single occasion syncronised in all the continents of the world and then destroyed.
There will always be longer films and there is but this one will be the longest film made that doesn’t exist. A totally different thing.
This will be Anders last film he will ever make.
As a small tease until the premiere in 2020 shorter teaser/trailers will be presented at different occasions.
2014 – Short teaser which is 72 minutes long and that has the intent to convey the mood and tempo from the full piece.
(The teaser was online between July 4 and July 20 in 2014 and had amazing view counts.  1,622,147 .)
2016 – The first short trailer with duration 7 hours 20 minutes. March 2016.
2018 – Longer trailer with duration 72 hours.
