 The disinformation about things like the coronavirus spreads in the net.



The question of why people believe disinformation is that disinformation is pleasing them. Another reason is that people are looking for social relations with people who are similar to them. And the information that is shared on social media is coming from people who we want to please. And those people please us.

So we are not saying that person shares information that is not relevant because we were afraid to lose somebody that might seem important to us. If our friends are sharing the disinformation. We might not dare to resist the hoax information.

Or say that information is not correct or the shared information might be dangerous. The reason for that is we are afraid to hurt somebody in our social network. If some people who we use to think like an authority or who is the central person in our social network are sharing disinformation, we might want to obey that person. That means we might follow that person even if we know that is wrong. 


1) Misinformation means "not correct" or false information. That is not shared in purpose. 


2) Disinformation means the information that is shared in purpose. That purpose might hurt or damage the trust of the authorities. 

Another name for that kind of campaign is propaganda. The military term for that kind of action is PSY-OP or Psychological Operation. 


The most important targets for disinformation are people who are in influential positions. And one of the groups where the disinformation is targeted is journalists. If journalists are affected the information that is shared will turn more powerful. People trust the media and if somebody cheats the reporter that will turn information more powerful. 

The normal way to resist vaccines is to criticize them. Critical attitude means of course the denial attitude. A critical attitude means that person is investigating the background. But in the disinformation campaign, the criticism means that person is against some things like vaccines. In the same way, critical attitude against the refugees and foreigners is turned to denial attitude in the public language. 

So how do we recognize is something disinformation? One version of that thing is that only negative things are collected in the article. I use the term "article" also for texts. Those are written on social media.  

We might analyze who is the person or actor, who is benefits the case that somebody doesn't take vaccines? The person who benefits from the action is often behind that thing.  The thing is that some vaccines are denying also the use of biological weapons. But that thing might not the reason why somebody is resisting the vaccines. 

If the person is vaccinated there is also impossible to die because of some illnesses. That means the vaccines are protecting people, but they also deny lies like being home in flu when a person has a hangover. 

One of the things that can use as the mark for disinformation is that the article or disinformation is driven by using humor or there are some other things like mentions of mental illness of the writer. Things like schizophrenia have not connected with the things like Game theory. 

But for some reason, the creator of the Game theory John Nash is always mentioned as being schizophrenic. 

When I read books about Game Theory there is one remarkable detail. In those texts is mentioned that Nash has that syndrome. So what the schizophrenia has to do with a thing called the Game Theory? Are those people estimating the Game Theory? Or are they estimating the mental condition of John Nash? That is a very interesting detail about writings of the Game Theory. 

Or the article is written in the spirit that something like a denial of vaccines is somehow "cool". Those texts are also appealed to the vanity of people. "Why I must take vaccines"? 

Other people are taking them, but why should I"? I have the right to say "no", and who cares about the hospital places that are reserved for me"? The corona-passes show that the person is taken the vaccines. But the deliverer of the disinformation appeals to selfishness and vanity. 

If we believe those people we should think like this: other people should sit inside. And all things must be closed because somebody doesn't want to take vaccines.

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,
