How do water or other liquid droplets erode hard surfaces?

When the droplet impacts things like sand it sends shockwaves to the sand. This is the observation that is made at the University of Minnesota. The thing goes like this. When a water droplet impacts the sand. Part of the droplet will fall between the sand bites. To the point where the droplet touches sand forms the channel where air pressure is lower than around it.

The water pressure pushes water below the sand bites. And then that underpressure area will pull the top of the water droplet up. And it pulls sand up. The rising top of the water causes underpressure. That rises sand up.

You can see that thing in the film above this text. When water droplet touches sand it starts to spread. Then the underpressure will start to pull the droplet upward and the water tower jumps up. Until it falls back to the ground again. The thing is that water droplet acts the same way all the time.

When a droplet travels through the air. It forms a channel where pressure is lower than around it. And that underpressure channel pulls the droplet back to the point where it came. It cannot rise droplets up. But it can cause the effect that they will pull back together.

When a droplet touches the water surface. Surface tension causes the water droplet travels at the surface of the water. The droplet spreads until the underpressure area. Which forms above the point where the droplet hits the surface start to pull water back into the air.

Also, the surface tension causes the water surface acts like a trampoline. And then, the water rises in the form of a tower that collapses through the surface.

The water droplet has the impact energy as all other objects it will transfer energy to a layer which it impacts. There is the possibility that the impact energy of water droplets is so high that it makes potholes in metal.

If the speed of the water droplet is high enough the water molecules can tunnel even to steel. Those molecules will transfer their impact energy to metal. And that causes the shockwave through the layer.

The tunneling effect makes it possible. That the water droplet can make holes even in the metal.

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,
