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".

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,
