There are many layers in the Kalevala.


Leaving of Vainamoinen
Akseli Gallen-Kallela
(C.1893-1894)


Kimmo Huosionmaa

The symbolism of Finland national epos Kalevala has many layers, and there would not be possible to make one conclusion or analyzes of that book. In the painting above the text is the idea, what people might always see. In this picture the hero of Kalevala, Vainamoinen leaves his community by flying boat. There is more well known painting about this same theme, but this painting is made with watercolor, and it is also made by Akseli Gallen-Kallela. In this portrait, the Vainamoinen would be like the young boy, who gets his first car. The car feels like some kind of spacecraft or something else like it.


Every young man wants own car, and when the person would begin first time to drive that vehicle, it would feel like driving the spacecraft. The starting of the engine would be like using ion motors in some fictional spacecraft. And in this picture seems like Vainamoinen is using some kind of UFO to leaving the place, where this man has stayed.


This watercolor painting is not the same thing as the well-known aquarelle, and in this watercolor work, the left of the community would be looking like little bit different way. In this painting might be a man, who finally made his services for community end, and this thing caused the situation, that everything felt so light. The flying boat, what hangs on the top of the smoke would be the opportunity to begin own life without debts.

The moan of the sail
Akseli Gallen-Kallela
(1907)


When Vainamoinen was accomplished his mission, would the next adventures wait for that man, and this is also the death of this person. In the campfire would that man, who can be some engineer, who was in the long-term project and hired to help the villagers, finishes his job. And this is the end of his services. After this, the villagers must hire another wise man for projects.


In the Kalevala same texts symbolizes many things. One could be some kind of building project. In the beginning is the idea of the project. And then the project would continue. There would be fighting against the time, but then there would be painting, where is the wreck of the boat. This project would continue to the point, that the wrecks will be collected from the building area. And at least the crew of the project would leave the site. Those people were well-known characters in that area, and then their mission is accomplished. Some of them would stay in people mind longer than others, and we must say that there are many things in Kalevala, what will make it one of the unique and fascinated books in the world.

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....
