Greetings from ancient construction workers

 


The image above this text represents medieval bricks. Those bricks are part of the collection of the Helsinki Museum of Architecture. Construction or brick manufacturers have left their mark on the bricks. And when we look closer to the middle brick, there's a pentagram on that brick. This symbol can have serious consequences in the Middle Ages. 

That kind of thing always causes questions about who were those people, how they lived, what things they talked about together? Where they came from, where they went after construction was ready? Were those construction workers similar to migrant workers like today? 

If the worker would get the construction site like church or cathedral. That guaranteed livelihood for the rest of their life. At that time there was no social service. And the good and long payment guaranteed that those workers could pay their old times from salaries that they got from the church. Another way to guarantee the livelihood of the workers was to find the construction site of the castle. 

Is this pentagram proof that some people exercised witchcraft and pagan rituals? Or was it just the test that person was capable of for some more or less seriously taken gangs? Or was it the test of how accurate the construction inspectors were with those things? Or maybe the purpose of the pentagram was to test, who tells those kinds of things to construction supervisors or even priests and sheriffs. 

If that mark has been made to a brick used in church. That could mean even a bonfire. Or maybe the construction worker would not be convicted to death. But always this kind of thing caused interrogation, which was a very uncomfortable experience. 

The own marks in the bricks could mean also. That samples of those bricks have been sold to the enemy.  And the enemy might know what kind of cannonballs they should use against the defense of the castle. The pentagram is connecting with witchcraft and paganism. 

Maybe that mark has been "proof" that the person was capable for some group like freemasons or some proto-Freemasonic group. So there is the possibility that the pentagram was some kind of gang test that served similar purposes with gang tests in the modern motorcycle- and other gangs.

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,
