The strange thing about the RMS Titanic

RMS Titanic sunk in 1914, and that process took over two hours, and that means the ship could be evacuated in very good order. But the lifeboats were not laid down in the right time, and that meant, the ship went down with many passengers. This accident was one of the most horrifying things, what happened in the peacetime sea routes. The accident of Titanic made a very bad thing for the White Star line's public image. And the reputation of some passengers and crew members were lost forever because they claimed to favor the first class passengers, and that caused the situation, that the third class passengers left in the trap at the lower deck, because of the doors to the lower decks were closed.

In the film below is the real-time film about sinking, and by looking at it, you might realize, how long the sinking took. And if captain Smith would be ordered to drive back the ship could sink even slower. This is only speculation. But delivering lifeboats could begin earlier, and the major question is, why those lifeboats delivered with half empty? Why the crew didn't look that the lifeboats were filled with people?

The sister ship of the Titanic, HMHS Britannic hit to mine at Aegean sea in 1916, and the sinking of that ship took an hour. In that case, only 30 persons died, what is an interesting detail because that ship was served as the hospital for wounded soldiers. That means those persons couldn't be in the best physical condition, what means that those evacuation plans were very good. The good question is, why Titanic was overbooked? Why there was too little number of lifeboats? And how it passed the check if there were not enough places in the lifeboats at the emergency situations?

Or could there be something else reasons, for the great number of survivors? Was that ship used for some other purposes than a hospital ship, or were those men so little wounded, that they could walk away from that ship? This is a very interesting detail in that story because if that ship was full of wounded patients, who need surgery, was the moving to the lifeboats be very painful. And sometimes somebody has told the joke, that the ship was served as the headquarters of the British southern front in the World War II.

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,
