The strange tale of S/S "Edmund Fritzgerald"

S/S "Edmund Fritzgerald" is a very well known accident in the Great Lakes, and there are many writings and even a song, what is written about it. That ship sunk in 1975 and the bodies are missing. The place of that wreck is very well known and in 1976 United States Navy investigated that wreck with CURV (Controlled Underwater Recovery Vehicle) in 1976, and the thing, what makes that case very interesting is that every 29 crewmen were lost in that accident. There is only one thing, what makes this ship interesting, is that all its crew have been lost, and somebody is claiming, that the wreck is changed because the real one was melted by small yield nuclear fission or neutron bomb.



Here I mention a couple of names, what is unusual, or have namesakes with some famous people. But I don't blame them about anything. Those names are very interesting, and the similar names have been famous men of the United States. In some stories, the "Weathermen" -named terrorist group thought that in that ship were Senators Eugene McCarthy and Loyd Bentsen, who was senator and secretary of treasure in Clinton's government in 1990's, and put the bomb in it, and that's why the sinking was very fast.


The ship was quite big, 222 meters and it carried the iron ore in the last trip. There are some interesting names in the crew list, and one Thomas D. Bentsen, who has the same family name with famous politician Lloyd Bentsen, Nolan Church, what seems something faked name, John Pratt, who have similar name with company Pratt and Whitley, John H. McCarthy, the family name was similar with famous senator of Wisconsin Joseph McCarthy, who died in 1957, but there is another McCarthy, Eugene McCarthy was very well known resistant for Vietnam war, and if some Weathermen-group or Ku Klux Klan thought that those famous persons, senators Bentsen and McCarthy were in the ship would they put the bomb in it, if that is true, the reason for sinking would be attentate,  David Weiss, who has the same last name with Walther Weiss one of German army General in the Second World War.


Also, Thomas Edwards has namesake with Edwards air force base, and the last name of the list is very interesting because Wilhelm is German First name and the name Wilhelm is actually same as the German emperor Wilhelm I and II. That makes this ship very interesting. The cargo was iron ore, and that material is normally not dangerous. But if the ship was cut and sunk, why the crew didn't send the emergency calls, and why their bodies were not found. There is one very interesting theory about that ship and lost bodies.


The theory sounds quite interesting and that would be only imagination. But I will tell that at this time. There are stories that in that ship were actually uranium ore, what would be harmless, but when the water was getting in the cargo hold, that would cause the slowing the neutrons and spontaneous fission, what would be destroyed the ship immediately. If the uranium ore would be too much or it would be too enriched, would that ore become hot, and if the ventilation would open, the fission would destroy the entire ship.


That spontaneous fission could be about 0,1 to 1 kiloton size, and the explosion would be steamed the ship immediately. Or maybe those persons would try to steal nuclear material, and that ship was destroyed with the neutron bomb, what has very small destructive power, but the explosion would transfer that ship to steam. The neutron bomb or officially ERW (Enhanced Radiation Weapon) is actually the small size hydrogen bomb, what is very clean. Normally this type of weapon is used as the trigger for higher yield nuclear weapons, but it can be used independently.  And after that, the Atomic Energy Commission would change the ship. But that is only one explanation of this mysterious case.  Below this text links to the Wikipedia pages about the case, and at the first one, what is written in Finnish is the crew list at the bottom of the page.

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,
