Does the infinite exist? And how to prove infinity? (Part I: Infinity in mathematics).

Infinity in mathematics. 

Is Pi the infinite number? (3,14...). Pi is a circle's circumference to its diameter. Proving that thing is impossible because proving infinity requires endless time. 

And there is always the possibility that after billion years of calculations, there is an end to that decimal number. There are calculated a million numbers for Pi. That thing means that is Pi infinite or not is a mystery. But today, Pi is mentioned as infinite numbers. 


Infinite in mathematics. 


The infinite in mathematics is the endless number. The problem is how to prove that some number is infinite. 

Proving infinite requires that the system uses infinite time for that thing.  So proving endless requires endless time. And nothing can continue forever. 

We don't know are the irrational decimal numbers like Pi (3,14...), really endless or infinite? There is the possibility that some quantum computer finds the end of that number. 

Normally mathematicians are searching sequences that are continuing long enough. Those sequences are telling that there is the possibility that the decimal number is endless. Or the next calculation in the angle of division brings the end for that number. 

The Pi is one of the decimal numbers that describe as endless. But there is the possibility that quantum computers will find the end to that number. The reason why I took Pi as the example is that Pi is the real value. 

It's the circle's circumference to its diameter. And that means it's a so-called real number. Series like Riemann conjecture are endless if we want. But the a circle's circumference to its diameter is very accurately limited. The one simple calculation gives the value (3,14... ). And that number can continue forever if the quantum computers are not finding the end for that number.

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,
