The new missile interceptors are under test.
The research and advances in artificial intelligence are causing the need to re-estimate what things like consciousness means? When we are creating new and powerful AI. We are creating something that has not existed before. And quantum technology has increased the power of AI. So that means we might face surprising situations when we are driving AI algorithms by using quantum computers that are a minimum of 1000 times faster and more powerful than traditional binary computers.

80 years ago, a nuclear bomb detonated in Hiroshima.
80 years ago, a nuclear bomb detonated in Hiroshima.
6 August 1945, the first nuclear bomb detonated over the city of Hiroshima. The bomb was a so-called uranium bomb, and that means it used so-called Oak Ridge alloy or enriched uranium as fuel. After that, most of those weapons are used with plutonium as fuel. The Hiroshima bomb, called "Little Boy," used a cannon device; two uranium bits shot against each other. Most of those horrifying weapons use a so-called implosion mechanism where the ball-shaped plutonium will collapse due to high explosives pressing the plutonium ball.
The reason for the plutonium path was simple. The uranium bomb was harder to control. The plutonium bomb needs nuclear reactors. And that makes it easier to control, and the process is always easier to stop. But when we think of the implosion (ball-collapse) method. That thing also works with uranium bombs. In a hydrogen bomb, the implosion, or fission bombs, gives power to fusion.
The system normally uses lithium hydride, where deuterium is stored, and then the pressure of the radiation causes fusion in those systems. There is also the possibility of using hollow fission bombs to create high-power laser rays. The system explodes a nuclear bomb around the laser element. And that allows the system to create ultra-powerful laser beams.
The destruction and humanitarian suffering were enormous. Both of those weapons delivered radioactive material all around the target area. The thing is that the Nagasaki bomb, "Fat Man," detonated over Nagasaki Bay. And the entire force of the bomb didn't reach the city. Those days were the most impressive and saddest days in the history of physics. The destruction was terrifying.
There were two reasons for those nuclear strikes. The first one was to demonstrate the power of those weapons to Japan. And force it to surrender without exosions. The war in the Pacific was very traumatic. The Japanese fought back to the final men. And they didn't surrender. Many Japanese choose suicide, or they try to attack Allied soldiers even if their ammunition has ended. The flamethrowers were commonly used, and that caused trauma on both sides.
The U.S. commanders believed that there would be millions of losses on the U.S. side if they landed on the Japanese home islands. The battles in Okinawa and Iwo Jima gave an introduction to what came on the main islands. So the U.S. military gave orders to use that weapon. The other purpose of that operation was to introduce that weapon to Joseph Stalin. In the lines of the Western Allies, Stalin was the potential enemy.
The idea was that the bomb would deter Soviet aggression against Western allies. But in 1949, the Soviet Union detonated its first nuclear bomb called "Joe 1 (RDS-1). And after that, many other nations noticed that nuclear weapons would give them new power and value.
But the Cold War began a couple of years after World War II. Did that bomb deny the Soviet escalation? Nobody knows. But in the Cold War and after that, nuclear weapons played a bigger and bigger role in the global political field. The idea of the nuclear weapon was that it denies war. It was so frightening that many people resisted that weapon. But otherwise, all leaders know its value in the geopolitical field. Today, there are many more states with nuclear weapons than ever before. That means there are no agreements that are trusted enough.

Is the universe made of information?
Is the universe made of information?
Information exists only if we detect it. But maybe we should call for information. That involves deliberate information as data. Deliberate information exists only if we detect it.
The fact is that this thing depends on the way we think about information. We can think that all physical things are information. Or we can think. That information is an abstraction that makes something visible. Things like quantum technology are opening the vision about information as separated from material or physical particles.
The physical particle can carry information. And then we can face things like electromagnetism as the information carriers. The electromagnetic field can carry information, or, in wave-particle duality, the electromagnetic field can transform or condense into a particle.
Or a particle can turn into the electromagnetic field. That happens in annihilation. Information is independent of direct observation. We know that there are things like eagles, even if we don't see one of them ourselves. Another person can tell us that thing. So, in that case, the medium actor lets us know that there is something called an eagle. And if that person is inaccurate enough, we can even believe that there are eagles on Earth. Eagle is bird and they live somewhere, even if we don't see them.
The question is, will the universe be a form of information? There is a lot of information about the universe. The thing is that the universe is like Schrödinger's cat. It forms of information and it doesn't form of information. The thing is this. We must determine the information before we can answer that question. If we want that information to mean something, that means the universe is not formed of information. But if information doesn't need to mean anything, that means information forms the universe.
But if the information must make sense, the universe involves only meaningless oscillations and waves. So when we talk about things like black holes, we talk about information. That vanishes. Or, we talk about information that slides through the event horizon. In that case, the information means the particles and quantum fields that slide into the black hole. That means a black hole collects information, but we cannot reach it through the event horizon.
The information is substantial, or substance. That means the existence of information depends on the information itself. The material is not a substance because its existence depends on the universe and quantum fields. Without those things, Materia turns into wave movement. But information doesn't need even the universe to exist. If some civilization can exist after the ultimate end of the universe, that civilization has knowledge of the universe. They have information about their past. And they can talk about the universe even if they didn't see it themselves.
They can make clones of animals that lived in the universe. But for that work, those creatures require physical things. So, information itself cannot make anything. It can interact with the physical universe through sockets. Those sockets can be the DNA molecules that contain information. Those sockets or tensors that connect information with the physical world can be the bits in the computer's mass memory.
But a computer cannot turn that information into a physical form. Without robots. Robots are tensors that allow computers to turn abstraction into reality. Materia can be destroyed. But information lives forever. Theoretical information can be reorganized into a new form.
There must be some information stored in the system that the system can sort data into a new form. In human brains, memory cells are like the net eye. They can sort information from those cells into a new form with a very high accuracy. The reason for that is that there are so many small information dots that the brain can put into a new order. And the number of those memory dots determines how accurate that image is. The information can make sense. But that information must not have a match in the real world.
Or, we just don't find that sense from the captured information. Or maybe we should call that thing signals. But are signals physical things? Maybe, maybe not. That means we capture radio signals from space that involve information about reactions in distant worlds.
Is some other, intelligent civilization behind some of those radio signals?
The answer is this: researchers have not detected any confirmed messages from another civilization.
Or a shorter version is: nobody knows. There might be many messages that mean deliberate information. But researchers and AI don't detect those messages from natural radio signals. That means the search continues. And we are alone until we get an answer. We get an answer only if there is a message that comes from a confirmed alien source. Until that silence continues and the answer remains open.
That is the problem with things like language science and especially the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, SETI. That means we might have billions of alien messages. But we cannot detect the information that those signals involve.
Because. We don't know anything about the information systems that they have. So we cannot separate those messages from the cosmic background. That is one version of the theories why we don't have alien contact. That model goes like this. They cannot detect our messages, as we cannot detect their messages. And maybe we should be glad about that possibility.
We call virtual information imagination. That information can seem very reasonable, like a human who walks on air. We know that thing is impossible, but in the virtual world in our brains, those things might seem very reasonable. Or at least we see those things while we sleep.
In the human body, neurons connect information with physical things. Neurons use information to control muscles and other things. The information that we get exists only if we detect it. If we don't detect that information, it doesn't exist to us.

About scientific theories
About scientific theories
All scientific theories that we have must be based on some kind of knowledge. Or they should be based on the best available knowledge. We get our knowledge using instruments like telescopes. And that is one of the things that makes science living. Our view of the world is changing all the time, because we get new and more effective instruments to do research. That means things like JWST telescopes bring new and fundamental views into our knowledge. And still, we are looking at precisely the same things that ancient philosophers researched and thought. We know more particles than ancient philosophers. But we still look for the ultimate part of materia.
That part is the thing that we cannot decay. This is the thing in modern science. We find smaller and smaller structures, but we cannot find the ultimate part that cannot decay anymore. We can discuss things like God. And then we can see that those questions are too hard for people. Sometimes scientists don’t talk about religion because they are afraid of anger. But the other thing is this. Some people say that God is a member of a species that visited a long time ago. That means if a person believes in God, that person believes in other extraterrestrial civilizations.
And those things are somehow very sensitive things in science. When we talk about the SETI program, we must realize that things like species on other planets were science fiction or pseudoscience a couple of decades ago. In the 1980s, people claimed that there were no other solar systems. And today we know many other solar systems. But we don’t know any other civilization. There was one promising exoplanet where there could be phosphine and methane in its atmosphere. But then the checks deleted those observations.
The JWST telescope is the first instrument that can research exoplanets' atmospheres. The water planets can host lifeforms like primitive algae. But can there be intelligent and technically advanced lifeforms? The answer can be something that we don’t want to find out. Maybe primitive life is quite a common thing in the universe. But intelligent and technically advanced civilizations are less common. Nobody actually knows if there is some algae in the distant waterworld's oceans until we can fly to those exoplanets. Those algae don’t make any contact with other civilizations. But if we face another intelligent species from another solar system, there is always the possibility that the contact is hostile.
And then we must remember the dark forest hypothesis. The universe is like a dark forest. We think that we are alone. We can yell and ask if there is somebody. But we cannot know what kind of thing is in the darkness. There can be some kind of bandit waiting for the right moment to strike. And that’s why we should think carefully, if we want to make contact with other civilizations that we don’t know.
The thing is this. We don’t know anything about the aliens. We have many hypotheses. But those hypothesis bases are in our own culture. There are no officially confirmed alien contacts. That means all our “knowledge” of the other intelligent species is purely hypothetical, or its base is in imagination. And the imagination continues until we get in contact.
Maybe that contact comes tomorrow, maybe after 1000 years. Maybe it will ever come. The problem is that nobody can predict when the contact will come. Or maybe someday in the distant future, when the Sun turns into a white dwarf, the human civilization moves to another solar system. In that case, our species turns into many other species. When the Sun uses its fuel, humans or our descendants must leave the solar system or face extinction. But those things happen in the distant future.

AI and robots can develop and fix themselves.
Today, AI starts to develop itself. But what if we were to take that ability to the physical systems? An even more interesting aspect is a “cannibal robot” that can collect spare parts and improve itself by utilizing another robot’s components. That means that the new robot can search for spare parts and improve parts from robot wrecks. That kind of thing is fundamental because it allows a physical robot to fix itself. AI-controlled robots that can collect spare parts from garbage and fix themselves will be the new tool for other planet research. The robot that can fix itself can also operate in remote areas on Earth.
The AI that controls robots can make a checklist of what causes damage to the robot’s body. Then the robot can search for parts that can replace that weakness. If a robot requires a stronger shell, it just searches for plates that it can connect to its body. In the same way, if a robot requires more power, it can search for more servo-engines that can use its manipulators. The ability to search and benefit from raw materials from the environment makes robots more survivable and flexible. The AI develops itself in the same way as a robot that collects spare parts from its environment.
AI is a computer program. And the computer program is a virtual robot. When AI develops its own code, it actually searches code models from the digital environment. In that case, the AI makes a model or matrix about things that it needs. Then the system will ask if there is some AI that has those abilities. Then the AI asks the code that gives the desired ability to the AI. The AI can also ask another AI to generate the code that it requires. And then the AI connects that code into itself. The problem is how the AI can detect things that it needs. And the second thing is that the AI must create the right form for the query that it makes for other AIs.
The AI can also search things like internet databases about the code that it needs. And then generate that code in its code generator. In that case, there are two AIs: the first one that connects the code to another AI’s source code. Then the system boots another AI. And after that, the other AI makes the changes for the first AI’s source code and boots the system. The code also requires testing, and in that case, there must be at least two different systems. Because if there is a malfunction in the code, the other part of the system can operate without errors. That system can also remove malicious code from another system. But if there are no errors, the system can scale code changes through the entire system.

AI and artificial life.
AI can modify life itself, and artificial cells can also modify AI. When we think about the DNA as data storage, we must realize that the problems are how to create synthetic DNA that involves only the things that researchers want. The other thing is how to transport. That data is sent to the microchips so that the computer can read that data. The answer can be electric impulses that the computer can read. AI is the tool that can read DNA better than play chess. The DNA is a linear data storage. And that makes the AI able to read it using microscopes and spectrometers.
The AI can search data that is stored in CRISPR datasets. And search for similarities in the DNA that is taken from people or animals that have certain abilities. The AI can make virtual cells and simulations. About what kinds of things certain base pairs at certain points in DNA make. The AI can also connect and search data across species borders. And that allows developers to connect chlorophyll genomes to skin cells. That forms the green man.
The same nanoparticles that can transport medicines to certain receptors can transfer the mRNA molecule in the same way in targeted cells.
The AI can connect that data with datasets about the advancement of the fetus. Nanotechnology, along with advanced tools, makes it possible for the AI-controlled system to cut DNA and connect the new bits of DNA into those holes. The other way is to create artificial mRNA whose mission is to control the cell organelles. The system must just create the mRNA molecule that controls the cell organelle, and then that cell can create anything that the mRNA encodes it to create.
The pathogen that can basically transform species into new ones can be based on the mRNA viruses or packages. Those mRNA molecules order the cell to create copies of itself. And then finally transform the cell into another. The mRNA is the tool that can order the mitochondria to decay in the muscle cells and that increases those cells' power. The artificial cells can also create neurotransmitters and electric impulses that allow the system to transfer memories into the nervous system. And basically, all our skills are based on memories. That is one of the things that we should know when we create new artificial species: are they bacteria or more complicated species?
Natural bacteria cannot communicate or transmit data to the nervous system. But artificial cells can do that. And when we think about the ability to live forever or fix large-scale injuries, we must create neurons and then transmit lost data to those neurons. The single neuron involves only 1-5 bits of data. Thoughts and memories are formed in connections and states of those neurons, which humans have over 86 million, but our brains can connect those neurons into virtual neurons.
And the connections between neurons are as important as the number of physical neurons. When a neuron is lost in an accident, the data that is involved is lost. The artificial cell can transport memories back into those cells. But that requires that the lost data is stored somewhere. And the second thing is that the system must have the ability to create artificial DNA that involves data that is normally stored in the brain.
Things like intelligent tattoos that involve small-sized nanotechnical microchips or neurological microchips that are implanted into people’s brains can make it possible to return those memories. If the neuroimplanted microchips can transport data from memory centers to hard disks, it makes it possible to return those memories using artificial cells. That thing can restore the abilities of the badly damaged people. The brain-implanted microchips can also make it possible to read people’s minds. And that thing can turn humans more than we are today.

Gravity from entropy in an interesting theory.
If we think that gravitation occurs in cases where the spinning particles store energy in the. And transform that energy into kinetic energy, we can explain special features of gravity like this. All parts of atoms are spinning. And all particles have their own individual quantum gravity field. So if we try to look at the gravity fields around atoms, we would see multiple different-sized whirls. Gluons, W, and Z bosons, quarks, and electrons conduct energy into themselves.
But also things like quantum fields and quantum field tunnels between quarks and around the atom's spin. That spinning movement binds energy to those particles and fields. And those particles and fields turn that energy into kinetic energy.
So, energy, or quantum fields, can also bind energy and make energy travel to those fields. In the same way as in all objects, the spin or speed of a particle or field accelerates until it starts to deliver energy. That means things like black holes will send gravitational waves that are emitted from those objects. When their spin speed slows, they start to deliver energy. Even a black hole cannot create energy from nothing. It must conduct energy somewhere if it spins more slowly. And in that process, a black hole delivers energy. As well as all other objects in the universe.
In the same way, if we think that quantum fields form superstrings, that explains some interesting things in gravity. Theoretical superstring is the rolled quantum field. So when a superstring moves, it harnesses energy from its environment. The superstring doesn’t form energy; it harnesses and stores it from fields around it. When a superstring slows, it releases a gravitational wave or some other energy wave. Just like all other gravitational centers.
Gravitation from entropy, or entropic gravity, is a new and exciting model to explain quantum gravity. And attempt to fit quantum gravity into Einstein's general relativity and special relativity. That model tries to connect quantum gravitation to the larger-scale gravitation. Entropic gravitation holds the idea that gravitation is like electromagnetic radiation, or one of the quantum fields.
So, if gravitation is like radiation, there should be a so-called G-field that gravitational radiation forms. That G-field or free gravitational field is like any other radiation field, but gravitational radiation or gravitational wave movement forms that G-field. The G-field could form particles because wave-particle duality (WPD) is also possible between gravitational waves.
"Representation of the gravitational field of Earth and Moon combined (not to scale). Vector field (blue) and its associated scalar potential field (red). Point P between earth and moon is the point of equilibrium." (Wikipedia, Gravitational field)
When we think about how difficult it is to fit quantum gravity with larger-scale gravitational objects, we must dare to ask one question. Did somebody forget fields when they made gravitational models? That means spinning, or moving quantum fields, can also act like a gravity center. The idea is that a fast-spinning field also binds energy fields from around it. And that makes those fields travel to that field.
That means in theory the field can also act as a gravity center. The idea is that particles are also waves. Or they are condensed wave movements. In reactions like annihilation, antimatter-matter impacts turn antiparticle-particle pairs into the wave movement. That means matter is packed with energy. And when a particle hits its anti-particle pair, it releases energy that is stored in particles.
The wave-particle duality means that particles can turn into energy or wave movement. And wave movement can turn into particles. If a G-field exists and some particle spins in it, that particle also rolls the G-field in it and turns that field into kinetic energy. That is one way to close this theorem. But the other way is to think that there are no absolute vacuums in the universe. There are always some kinds of fields and things like superstrings that are extremely thin energy fields. In the same way as superstrings and particles store energy, the spinning quantum field stores energy.
Those things form the smallest structures in the universe. When a superstring or any other structure spins, that structure stores energy into it in the form of kinetic energy. When a spinning structure turns energy into kinetic form, it harnesses that energy from around it. That makes energy move to the structure. An energy field from outside the pulling area tries to fill that energy pothole. The energy movement to the object continues until the object’s energy level rises so high that energy can break the whirl around that object.
But again, we can replace the word spinning by using word movement. The moving particle or object, like a moving field, stores energy. If we think that entropy is space where it is moving and oscillating, that thing can explain the form of gravity. Those particles store and deliver energy, and that can explain gravity. The question is always, what causes those quantum fields to move? Moving quantum fields take particles and radiation with them. And that makes the effect known as gravity.
