Who found America?

"Leif Eriksson Statue by Anne Whitney, erected in 1887 at the west end of the Commonwealth Avenue Mall in Boston, Massachusetts, the United States" (Wikipedia)

In SciTech Daily was an article highlighting. "Ancient Documents Suggest Italian Sailors Knew of America 150 Years Before Christopher Columbus" So where those Italian sailors got those documents?

So who found America?

How Leif Erikson knew that return to home was safe when he lived in Vinland?

Who found America? That is an interesting question. Maybe we should ask how we describe the founded of America? The thing is that the Son of Eric the Red, Leif Erikson (c. 970-c. 1020) was the man whose statue is in Boston was the first European in America.

He lived a year in Newfoundland. But there is the possibility that his father Eric the Red (c. 950-1003) visited Newfoundland before his son. Eric the Red made settlements in Greenland and there was no long journey to Newfoundland. But the reason why Eric the Red hired that place was that his son must escape his enemies. So maybe the advice about the place of Newfoundland came to Leif Erikson from Eric the Red. The thing that Leif Erikson returned to Iceland or Greenland a year after the escape.

Makes people suspect that somebody told them that the controversy agreed. So there must be some connection between Leif Erikson's settlement and his home. Or how that man knew that return was safe? The fact is that we just believe that the Vinland is Newfoundland. The evidence of that thing has been introduced the Viking house that is found in that place. But was it made by Leif Erikson? Or somebody before him.

But there are suggestions that even the ancient Egyptians and Phoenicians knew America. The Chinese and Siberians may be traveled to America over the Bering Strait. And the fact is that there might be other more or less deliberate visits to the American coast and Antillian archipelago.

The German pirate Klaus Störtebecker (1360-1401) was also claimed to visit America but there was no evidence about that visit. The thing that supports this theory is that the Störtebeckers treasury is lost forever. There is the tale that Cristopher Columbus (1451-1506) was the descendant of Klaus Störtebecker and he followed the tale or some documents that Störtebecker. For supporting that theory is introduced the blond hair of Columbus.

Columbus was born 50 years after the death of Störtebecker and that thing means that he could be a descendant of that pirate. Maybe he heard stories of that man and then realize that nobody remember Störtebecker. What confessed the funders that there was more than just some trees and mud in the new land? Were some documents were the thing that made funders confess that the funding that exploration was necessary. Somebody people are saying that Prince Henry the Navigator (1394-1460) gave that money. But that well-known funder of some explorations died when Columbus was about 10 years old.

If we want to describe who founded America we are facing a very difficult thing. In the time of Vikings and great explorations was no GPS and only skippers knew how to navigate. Maps were limited. And if the ship slip out of the map the captain would not tell that thing to the crew. Also if some pirates wanted to hide their treasury at some cost they might not know where they were. If we want to think about the relationship between Störtebecker and Cristopher Columbus we cannot ever be sure.

Or maybe we should use the DNA test for making sure about that kind of story. Of course, if Störtebecker visited New Land and made some documents. There is the possibility that the Italian traders bought them from Hansa. The fact is that anyway, Störtebecker was not found America. That thing was made long before he was ever born. But were those European explorers Vikings or somebody long before them? Did somebody escape from Europe to that mysterious land? If that person exists there is the possibility that also ancient Romans or Phoenicians knew that area.

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,
