Beware of social media, and remember that everything you see is not true




Kimmo Huosionmaa

When we are talking about social media and the use of it as the propaganda platform, we must say that modern technology allows making very trustable propaganda in the very low budget. The open source rendering platforms allow to create the animated films, where are characters, what looks absolutely real. Those photorealistic characters are allowed to make the realistic propaganda animation, what cannot separate from real news film.


Also, the use of social media allows making profiles of the persons, what are meant to target for propaganda. That means the propagandists can make propaganda, what is more, attractive and influential for targeted persons than ever before.


Social media is the very good weapon in the hands of propaganda makers because that media can be used in targeted propaganda, what is meant for children of the leaders, who are working for police and military. And of course, also criminal organizations would use social media in their recruiting campaigns, what is targeted to younger members of police and military. In those campaigns, those organizations claim, that they are only victims of the system, and the law enforcement only takes them as the targets of the use of force. And of course, drugs and doping are all right in that propaganda.


But the way to look like social media is that would give the information of the things like actions in some elections. Here I must ask does anybody tell us about the electoral fraud of Russian elections, or would the world be quiet about this kind of things? Silence is the very good way to keep undemocratic forces in power. And social media is also brought many things in publicity, what has been kept in silence.


And when we are talking about censorship, we would not want that thing. Social media has brought the attitude problems of some officials to public knowledge. Also the thing, those undemocratic forces are found also in so-called paradigm democracies. And what we have learned by social media is, that many things, what we are known as the truth, has more aspects than we ever couldn't expect.


The social media has shown that any media is not absolute neutral or all reporters are not standing behind the truth. That kind of reporters have supported the dictatorial governments, and an example the most important supporters of Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler were journalists, who wrote the supporting propaganda for those dictators. They made articles, what justified persecution of political enemies of those dictators. This is an aspect, what we must understand, while we are investigated media.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
