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.

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....
