About the polarization of information

The mission of journalists is to share and route the information about the things, what is done. And this is the problem with journalism. In a normal situation, journalists are working for some media house, what must earn its funding by selling the product. This causes the situation, that there is so much negative news in the media.

Information polarization means, that there are very much stories and data, but the data is filtered that it shows only one side of the thing. That causes the thing, that there is only one aspect, what is underlined in those stories, what gives the very dramatized view for something, what is happened.

Negative news sells better than positive and glad news. When we are looking for news, we are facing many stories about violence, and the reason, why that news is increasing the sale of the newspaper or news is, that people are worried about the people, who they know, and who might be harmed in those cases.

The equipment of violence are always interesting or do you know anybody, who is not interested in the weapons and police actions. And of course, military aircraft and equipment are always interesting, and interesting things are a good way to increase the sale of the news. But when we are thinking about negative news, we are not seeing the news about pollution, or another kind of things, if they are not somehow connected with some broken buildings or humanitarian catastrophes.

Interesting news is the key element for making good selling newspapers. And dramatic pictures are the thing, what makes sales for the newspaper, and this is, why we are reading stories, there wolf attacks and kills dogs, but we are not reading the news when the wolf eats the last member of some mammal species. When some species are losing from the Earth, that thing is not very dramatic.

The beast comes or some animal closes eyes, and one era in the history is ending. And those silent extinctions happen all the time on Earth. Animals, what have not even seen by humans are losing from our planet forever, and maybe the last Megalodon is just eaten by some other sea creatures. This is the way in nature. But those things are not been written in any newspapers.

We are not reading about cases, where some African state have been polluted very large areas by using PCB, and the pollution causes because of the handling of electronic garbage is defective. Those things are not interesting us, but that PCB is in someday on our saucer, because fish are eating this chemical, and it would transfer to the food. But this is not an interesting way to share information.

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.

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.
