The writing about the song "Herr Mannelig"

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Do you ever look at stories, what are told about journeyman? Some of them are very attractive and impressive. And almost in every book or adventure movies, the main character is some kind of journeyman, who have very good experience about those situations, what happens in those books or films. That kind of stories are not new, and they are told by journeymen or somebody, who have met those journeymen. In this text I don't actually write about the song "Herr Mannelig", but I would use the video about this song as an innovator about this text.


One of the oldest songs of Sweden is "Herr Mannelig", what is the folk tradition. In this film, what opens from the link below the text, this main character is made for moving. The film or music video is made by some Swedish band called "Garmarna".  The writer of that song is not mentioned, but it is the story about the man, who denied to get married to the witch, who lived on some mountain. The story is very popular, and there are many presentations about this quite good Viking-era song.


The idea of this song or music video is that man tells some stories, what are very suspicious. A man or woman tells stories, about journeys and storms what the teller have been faced during the life, and of course, this person tells about the monster, who lived under the falls of somewhere in northern Norway, and the stories are fascinating and impressive. There is one very strange thing about the main character. He doesn't do anything in the boat, is he some kind of passenger, in this music video. They are stories about journeys to edge of the world, and in the first many people sees nothing to say about them, but then we must realize that there is one big question about the stories, what the journeyman tells, and that is, that this journeyman was always alone in those situations.



There is nobody, who can proof those worlds about great adventures of this Mannelig. Every person who were with him in those ships were somewhere else, when this stories have been told. In the video, the prime male character has the very good equipment, and here I must ask if he actually meant to introduce as a journeyman? The equipment of this character is too perfect for use of Viking tradesman. They look like soldiers equipment, and that might meant for the joke. But the film is very good support for this writing because my Swedish is not very good. And as you see the writing is my hobby, and that's why I'm writing this text.

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....
