SUMMARY:
It is thought that a person working at an Iranian nuclear facility inserted a malware-infected USB drive into a computer. This malware is called Stuxnet and was developed by the USA and Israel specifically to damage Iranian centrifuges which were involved in enriching Uranium for development of a nuclear bomb. This set the Iranian nuclear program back by about 2 years.
This was the first known case of physical equipment being damaged by malware. It was the first case of cyber warfare.
The year was about 2005. This particular malware was designed in such a way that it mostly stayed dormant and made such subtle changes over such a long period of time, that no one noticed it for years.
#stuxnet
#virus
It was designed specifically to target PLCs, that is Programmable Logic Controllers. These are industrial computers that control industrial processes. In this case the target was centrifuges.
Iran had gone to great lengths to ensure security. For example the facility’s computers were not physically connected to any computer outside the facility. This is called an air gap. So there was seemingly no way to infiltrate these computers remotely via any kind of internet or extranet.
Stuxnet exploited at least 4 previously unknown Windows vulnerabilities. These are called zero day vulnerabilities - they are security flaws for which the vendor has not yet made a patch. Stuxnet was "discovered" in 2010, but it’s estimated that development on it probably began in 2005 under the George W Bush and Barak Obama administrations.
These administrations believed that if Iran were to develop atomic weapons, Israel would launch airstrikes against them, which could trigger a major conflict and destabilize the region. Developing and unleashing a cyberwarfare software weapon was seen as a nonviolent alternative. The program was labeled Operation Olympic Games.
It was designed to destroy the centrifuges that Iran was using to enrich uranium for its nuclear bomb program. Why is enrichment needed? Because Mined Uranium has only a small fraction of fissile U235 of 0.7%. It has to be at least 90% U235 in order to be used in a nuclear weapon. A centrifuge is used to spin uranium fast enough to separate the lighter U235 isotope from U238. The nature of these centrifuges is such that they tend to have a short lifetime. They get damaged in normal operation. But Stuxnet was able to damage many more than in normal operation.
Stuxnet altered Siemens PLC programming which caused the centrifuges to spin irregularly, damaging or destroying them more often in the process. And even more brilliantly, while this malfunction was happening, the worm used a vulnerability in the Siemens software to change the PLCs programming so that it would tell all the controlling computers that nothing was wrong. So it infected both the computer software and the control software running the PLCs.
How was the Stuxnet worm eventually detected? Only after it unexpectedly spread beyond the air gap of the Iranian nuclear facility. No one knows exactly how it got out.
Kaspersky lab estimates that it took a team of at least 10 developers 3 years to develop the worm.
Neither the US nor Israel have officially admitted to creating Stuxnet, and none of its developers have ever come forward.
Stuxnet showed, for the first time, that malware can actually affect the physical world, not just your PC or digital data. In this case it was destroying centrifuges. But subsequent cyberattacks have targeted other types of machines, for example Industroyer, developed by Russia-sponsored hackers, targeted industrial control systems and disrupted the Ukranian power grid in 2016. Stuxnet showed that almost nothing is off limits to hackers intent on malice. A hacker could conceivably take over and put such devices under the control of a malicious entity. Imagine someone taking over your IV drug dosage remotely while you’re in the hospital, or remotely driving your car.

    Using a nuclear reactor to heat water as the main coolant working fluid is quite ingenious and not primitive. Water is excellent at this task. Water has high heat retention and it blocks some of the radiation. It can be pumped so that the energy from the core becomes portable and can be transferred to somewhere else, usually to another loop of water that becomes steam to run an electrical turbine. Turbines are important because the AC electricity used in our distribution infrastructure is most easily generated by a rotating armature in a magnetic field.

    There would be no causality violation because of the relative speed at which they are experiencing time. Multiple sci-fi shows have referenced this, but the best representation was in Stargate SG-1 S2E16 A Matter of Time. They were showing gravitational time dilation instead of velocity based, but the cause of time dilation is irrelevant to the concept. Time is experienced slower at higher gravity and faster at lower gravity in gravitational time dilation. Velocity based time dilation has time experienced slower at higher speed and faster when stationary. Exact calculations are likely impossible do to the constant presence of both gravity and velocity preventing any location being at absolute zero in either time dilation cause. The relative speed of time advancement would mean a message arriving in an accelerated or decelerated form. The graphic at 11:06 would have the message sent by Alice at instantaneous transmission speed arrive in a form that Bob might have to slow down in order to understand. Time would still be going forward for both of them, so his reply would appear to have taken a long time to arrive, and would need to be sped up to sound normal. The speed of time being different doesn't cause causality issues because both are moving forward in time. The more common argument made for FTL violating causality is arriving before the destination location sees that you left, but that is no different than the delay observed in a sonic boom.

    @14:33 You said time was formed with it, but your example has you using something in an existing time, that doesn't work.....i would argue no case where something has a probability could "occur" in the absence of time, not necessarily the same "time" but no event can exist at no time. The reason i argue this point, some have ised the "theories" around the big bang (bad word to use without actual scientific evidence....it devalues the word for actual use)....to state that time definitely started with the singularity ...whatever the math suggests im not aware of any theory...actual theory....which has that included with "receipts" @16:13 thank you

    The electron changing state which was basically Bohr 'digitizing' the entire universe, and is on the same scale than anything Einstein did. And Einstein said do in his memoirs. And yet it both amazed and bothered Einstein - he did not deny it. On the micro scale there is no "speed of light limit" that was so beloved of Einstein. The electron change of state is instant. There is still also great denial when it comes to entanglement. Again the speed of light is the issue. Nothing can go faster than light is the mantra? But the electron defies that and if so, then why should entanglement not also defy it? Is there a missing variable? Maybe the most revolutionary thing to say in science is that the missing variable is God? Who dares deny that possibility?

      I believe this wouldn't be possible because the centrifuges needed to have there speed controlled by a computer so the computer can tell it to move faster or slower and he says irregularly so it is spinning faster and slower repeatedly for example If it goes above a certain parameter it would increase the speed automatically

      It took billions of years, and millions if not billions of events all over earth for nature to come up with one simple self-replicating molecule. And we have spent nowhere near a billion dollars studying origin of life. We have been studying at most for about 40 years. Do you really find it so odd that we have not been able to replicate something that took billions of years over millions of various spots on earth to happen in a couple of dozen labs over only a few decades?
