40 silent minutes, what changed the world.

When K-computer simulated human brains were the ordinary day. For that simulation has the group of scientists used many years, and there was nothing dramatic for that process. There were no flames outside of the laboratory and computer center. And during that simulation, nothing dramatic happened. But those seconds might be changed the world by the more influential way than any moon-flight ever changed. The system was the best in business, and it was located in Japan. The mission was to simulate the functions of the brains. The research team was composed of German and Japanese scientists, and it worked by using K-computer, what has 84 944 core processors for that simulation.

It took 40 minutes to simulate the one second of the human brain activity, and the scientists had got the world fastest supercomputer in use when this happened in 2013. The supercomputer was so-called K-computer and that was the fastest and the most powerful computer in that time. This was one of the worlds most remarkable seconds in history, and that was one of the most advanced steps in the research and investigation of the neuroscience. That thing has not seemed very dramatic, and nothing seemed to happen outside of those calculation units,  but there were spent millions of hours of work, millions of calculations have done, and millions of minutes were spent by taking the MEG pictures and collecting other data from the human nervous system.

The spending 40 minutes for one-second simulation doesn't maybe seem a very effective way to use computer time but in the future, that kind of simulation would make possible to create thinking machine". The computer what can learn things, and process the information, what it gets, and make conclusions, what is called thoughts by using that information. But there is far to the human brain capacity. Human brains have the capacity to think abstract things and this ability separates us from other species.

This is the problem with artificial intelligence. We know that feelings have a role in our thinking process, and if we would give feelings and ability to think abstract things to some computer, that thing can transform the thing that wants the power. Feelings and ability to think abstractive gives computers greed for power, and that might cause the situation, what is like from the "Terminator"-movies. The rebellion of the machines is one of the worst nightmares of artificial intelligence.

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,
