Suicidal attempts might have a connection with genetic disorders.

 Suicidal attempts might have a connection with genetic disorders. 


"In the largest genetic study. Of suicide attempts to date. Researchers have identified a region. The genome on chromosome 7 contains DNA variations. That increases the risk that a person will attempt suicide". (1)

That disorder in that genome is interesting because there is the possibility that this genome has a connection with other types of destructive behavior. Can use of drugs, destructive alcohol problem or smoking problem the reason for the genomes, that drives person self-destruction. 

I mean cases where even lung cancer or liver cirrhosis would not make a person stop smoking or drinking. That thing means that there must be some kind of genetic disorder that causes this kind of behavior. 

The thing that makes the suicidal behavior "interesting" is that all people who have mental disorders or who are somehow depressed or lost everything don't make suicide. So there is the possibility that it is a genetic disorder that will drive people to that tragedy. 

So the suicide would be a connection with outcoming pressure and a genetic disorder. And then we might want to get more data about that thing. If we are thinking that some people have suicide genomes, there is the possibility that this thing is also connected with another type of self-destructive behavior. 

Could there be something that uncovers that dangerous genome? One of the things that could uncover the genetic disorder that causes self-destructive behavior could be the records there are connected to the data about cigarette smoking, use of drugs, and alcohol. If some genetic disorder starts the self-destructive process or behavior. There must be some signs of that kind of thing. 

The research where the age of begin smoking or use of drugs and alcohol would collect from the people who made suicide. Genetic samples can help to predict and understand that behavior. 

In that process, researchers are seeking similar sequences from the DNA. That is taken from people who decided to destroy their life. And then they would compare the data of the lifestyle of those people. The interesting data is overspeeding, drunk driving, and other destructive and dangerous things that a person makes "for fun".

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....
