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.

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....
