About privacy and telephone companies

When we are talking about the data, what private corporations collect about us, we always forget to ask one simple question: "Who owns our telephone or internet provider"? This question is very interesting because if the owner of that company wants, the RAID-5 technology would send all data, what travels thru the server rooms of that company even across the Atlantic, and that data can be used to create the profiles of every individual person, who use that provider.


And the second thing what might interest people is so-called "Carrier IQ". This is actually a small code, what would put in the front of every data package, what would send thru the Internet, and in TCP/IP-protocol that thing can tell anything about the usage of the computer or mobile device. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol) is the communication protocol where the server sends the data as packages via the Internet.


This protocol cuts the transmission simultaneous because it would connect the control code in the data. When the packages would be sent to some computer, that code would drive the package to the right device. And it is in use also in GSM-telephones. This protocol asks the request, that the data package is right, and if there are some errors, the package would be resent. That allows us to use video-broadcasts and banking services safely.


But that protocol would allow that any device in the world can be tracked. This is the shadow side of the Carrier IQ and in the real world, that would allow installing any kind of malware programs inside the mobile devices. This means that inside that data would slip the packages, where is the malicious software. That means the observer can follow the person location, homepages where targeted person visits, and even the pulse and breath.


In this case, the privacy of the person can break totally, and another good way to slip malicious software to mobile telephones is to use the SIM-card, where is the program. In the real world, the telephone company can also make firewalls and antivirus programs, what allows specific malware to install in those devices. If the company wants, that the antivirus and firewall would let the malware, that has the right control code to pass the defense. And then that kind of malware can be installed to any device, what has that company's SIM-card or is inside of its firewall.

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,
