Built by MLW in 1942, Canadian National at the National Museum of Science and Technology, Ottawa, Canada
The Canadian National Class U-4 was a class of five streamlined 4-8-4 Northern type steam locomotive, built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1936 for the Canadian National Railway.
These locomotives, with their sleek modern style, also became an important marketing tool for the company.
The 6400 was retired from active service in the 1950's and is now placed on display at the National Museum of Science & Technology in Ottawa, Canada.

"The Sphere" at the National Research Council of Canada campus in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Commissioned in 1966 for the 50th anniversary of the National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa artist Art Price designed the sphere as a symbolic representation of the activities of the NRC, Canada's leading agency for research in science and technology.
The highly polished sphere was fabricated in four months from 10 gauge type 304 stainless steel by Coulter Copper and Brass Limited of Toronto. The sphere is 3.65 metres in diameter, weighs
approximately one tonne and is mounted in a 7.9 metres diameter pool.
My son and I decided to attend the launch of Starship 5, which was scheduled form Sunday October 13. This SpaceX mission was historical: The objective was to catch the Super Heavy booster on return with the Mechazilla arms, nicknamed "chopsticks". The booster slowed to a near hover and did a horizontal slide maneuver to line itself up with, and rest on two massive "chopstick" arms on the launch tower. It was an amazing feat many considered impossible!

CN 6200 on display at the Canada Science and Technology Museum, Ottawa, Ontario.
This steam locomotive was constructed by the Montreal Locomotive Works for the Canadian National Railways in June 1942. The locomotive operated in eastern Canada before being transferred to the Canada Science and Technology Museum in June 1967. This is an example of a 4-8-4, or Northern, type locomotive used extensively for both passenger and freight train service. Well suited to CN’s needs, by 1944 the railway was operating 203 locomotives of this type. This locomotive is 28.9 m long and weighed 302 823 kg in working order. By 1960 steam locomotives were withdrawn from regular service and replaced by dieselelectric locomotives.

A photograph looking down MIT's famous 'Infinite Corridor', a good claimant to be being the longest indoor civilian passageway in the world - and off which the offices of many of the 'Grandees' of the computer revolution , such as Norbert Wiener's, were located. A spectacular construction by any measure! See, inter alia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_Corridor
Bold line-up of landmark Iranian ballistic missiles, key pieces of the Iranian military defense doctrine, at Tehran's Islamic Revolution and Holy Defense museum.
Since Islam forbids indiscriminate weapons of mass destruction (e.g. nuclear, chemical or biological weapons), Iran has placed great efforts in developing missile capacities, as an effective strategy of asymmetric warfare to keep large invading powers and their local satraps/mercenaries from attacking the country despite their overwhelmingly superior military budgets.
The smallest of these missiles, the Fateh 110 and Qiam 1, were the ones used by Iran to attack two US military bases in Iraq in 2020 in retaliation for the assassination of general Qassem Soleimani and were used extensively to wipe out ISIS and Al-Qaeda from most of Syria and Iraq.

A capture of a passerby looking towards the MIT nuclear reactor. The imputation that he might see it as 'his own' is purely fictional on my part! This reactor is an established and integral part of the MIT campus, and is known for its very safe design.http://web.mit.edu/nrl/www/

What it lacked in iconic 1950s styling, the VW Beetle made up for in reliability, simplicity, and price. Canadians also loved its low gas consumption and trendy chrome bumpers. This particular car had only one owner during its 25-year lifetime.
Suburban life made cars a necessity for many Canadians in the 1950s, and the postwar economic boom allowed many Canadians to afford an automobile for the first time. Between 1945 and 1961, car ownership in Canada quadrupled, and the supporting infrastructure grew accordingly. The rise of car culture fundamentally changed the way Canadians lived and worked.

With the top down, you could see and be seen wherever you travelled. With a price tag of $4,000, touring in this convertible was for the privileged few. Even vacations themselves were a luxury for most Canadians in the late 1940s.

Driving Freedom - As automobile prices went down in the 1920s, more Canadians hit the road. Having a car meant you were no longer restricted to train or boat schedules and their set destinations. It was just you, and your sense of adventure.
In the mid-1940s, Canadians rarely used their cars for vacations. Gravel-roads were rough, and paved roads were few and far between. But by the time the Trans-Canada Highway was officially opened in 1962, the country had doubled its paved roads. A new love affair with road trips blossomed.

Plastic Cylinder, 1910s
This plastic cylinder is made of Blue Amber, a celluloid blend made by Thomas Edison’s company. Edison kept the ingredients secret from his competitors - for good reason! It is one of the best cylindrical formats ever made.
The durable hard surface makes for loud, clear playback. And because the grooves are closer together than on earlier cylinder formats, this model can hold a long groove, and so, a long recording.

Dark skies for dramatic captures of the Milky Way and its Galactic Center exist on the eastern plains of Colorado, provided one stays away from some of its rural population centers. This photograph was made near Cope, Colorado, which is in a Class 2 (typically truly dark sky) area on the Bortle Scale. Light pollution from Stratton and Bethune, Colorado, which are located more than 40 miles (64 km) from this site, appears in the lower left of the photo. Light from a nearby farm highlights portions of the foreground, and light from another farm is seen as a bright glow on the horizon near the center at the bottom of the photo.

Time to leave the museum, I have only showed a VERY SMALL part of what there is to see, a great museum.
The Newtsuit stands up to deep sea challenges - literally - as the world’s first rigid-body diving suit. Low- friction arm and leg joints, on-board oxygen supply, and optional thrust pack give undersea workers freedom of movement. Even at 305 meters underwater, the suit is able to maintain the same internal pressure as at the surface, allowing divers to work safely at depths conventional scuba divers can’t reach.

Volunteers from the Bytown Railway Society restored the cab of locomotive CP 2858. After studying similar locomotives, they fixed what they could, and tracked down new parts. When they couldn’t repair or replace something, they made and exact copy. The project took 19 months.

Lighthouse is on display at the Canada Science and Technology Museum, Ottawa, Ontario.
British officials chose prefabricated cast iron as a cost-effective material for building lighthouses in the British Empire. In 1856, it was used to build this lighthouse at Cape Race, Newfoundland. The tower is made up of 32 curved plates bolted together on the inside to form a 12 meter (39.4ft) structure. Lighthouse authorities equipped the tower with a light consisting of 13 Argand lamps and reflectors.
This lighthouse marked the first landfall for mariners travelling across the Atlantic Ocean. After for 50 years at Cape Race, it was replaced with a new tower made of concrete. In 1907, it was disassembled and moved to Money Point on Cape North, Nova Scotia, to mark the entrance to the Gulf of St Lawrence. It stood there until 1980, when the government retired it from service and offered it to the Science and Technology Museum.

Rubber Disc, 1890s
This rubber disc is made from a special tree sap, called gutta-percha. You may not have heard of it, but gutta-percha used to have many important uses: in medical equipment, electrical wiring, and furniture, amount others.
Rubber discs were the first of their kind - previously, all recordings were made on cylinders.

Canadian Pacific 4-8-4 Northern Type Steam Locomotive # 3100, built by the Angus Shops of the CP in Montreal 1928
Canadian Pacific 4-8-4 Northern Steam Locomotive # 3100, was built by the Angus Shops in Montreal 1928. Only two of this type of engine were built for the CP at a cost of $129,325 each and the were used for 25 years in night time passenger service between Toronto and Montreal. These engines were considered to slow and to heavy for high speed passenger service. These two steam locomotives utilized a cast steel engine bed and were of modern in design at the time.

Why did this trailer - at one-third the price of other brands - fail to sell? In 1947, Fleet Manufacturing Inc. thought it had cornered the market for budget-conscious travellers. But because few working-class Canadians had paid vacations at that time, sales floundered. People who could afford to take holidays chose more upscale accommodations.

Metal Disc, 1900s
This ornate machine is an early music box that plays metal disks. The zinc disks were more expensive than other formats, but also more durable. They were light, flexible, and easy to store and load.

Alien art
Science fiction
If aliens have existed a few billions of years before us, they would try to make themselves immortal. There are a lot of different ways to do this: Stay the same biological creatures how they are and help themselves with very high science and technology like the alien in picture fixed his head, create better biological creatures with more capabilities ( also transfer their softwares to the creatures ), clone theirselves and share the same updated data for each clone, create a lot of different kind of biological creatures with a lot of different functions ( also transfer their softwares to the creatures ) and spread them in universe, convert themselves to robots with the same functions like biological ones, convert theirselves to biological computers which could have controlling functions for a lot of different robots, and create the same world like the real one in computer and live in this electronic world.
It is not easy to be immortal, but a few billions of years would make a big difference. As a human, we develop very fast. After a few billions of years, we would have a very big knowledge for a lot of things, including having the know-how to make us immortal if we could survive that long.
Everything what exists is created by a system or systems and consists of some things, like the creation of atoms. Every system has rules. To know the rules, we have to know the related science and technology.
