Metamorphosis in legends about Werewolves

Metamorphose is a very interesting thing and many native believing and stories are the tales about creatures, what are able to change their shape as an animal. The idea that some person could change it's shaped between human and animal is very fascinating.  Also in Finnish national book Kalevala the bad creature, Louhi (1) could change her creature as a giant eagle. The creature is similar to the native American Indian stories about Skin-walkers (2), the witches, what can take animals form. And there are some other tales about creatures, what change as the animals when they want to do that.


The most well-known characters are of course werewolves and naguals (3) . The last one is some kind of werewolf, but it normally takes the form of a coyote, puma or wolf, and this connects it to the creature of the werewolf. When we are thinking about this very well known the character of horror tales and movies, we would forget one very good explanation for that beast, what has the shape of the man. The origin of those creatures might be men, who wear the wolf skins as clothes, and that's why those men were called as "werewolves".


The stories about those monsters might be meant first some professional soldiers, who would try to be like normal people, but when somebody tried to hurt them, they would use their combat skills. Maybe the origin of this mythical creature is Vikings, who might be ordinary traders, but when the people, who had expensive clothes or equipment came, those traders took the form of warriors and started to rob the village.


In some German mythologies, werewolves were creatures, what defended the people against evilness, but this is not the very common thing to write about that creature. The common way to talk about the werewolves is that they wanted blood and flesh of innocent people, and that's why they were evil creatures, what fate was the silver bullet.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology.  The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use.  When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

 Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.  Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave.  We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects.  If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center.  The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
