The discoveries in genetics are making it possible to create cancer vaccines and artificial lifeforms and explore the origins of life.

The new virus renews our understanding of the origin of life. 


This virus can be the key to solving questions when eukaryotic bacteria are born. The first bacteria that were born on Earth were prokaryotes. They had no nucleus. Then some kind of mutation made the nucleus in those cells. The nucleus protects the DNA against electromagnetic radiation. And that thing was a fundamental advantage. 


The order of born of life:


1) First-born organisms were prokaryotic cells. The very first cells got their energy from the volcanic heat. For being real cells. Those primitive cells required mitochondria and cell organelles that made the membrane for those cells. In history, mitochondria have been independent organisms. 

Today mitochondria live in symbiosis with all cells with an internal power source. The cell is delivering sugars to mitochondria that are giving energy to it. 

2) Then born viruses. The viruses might advance from the DNA bites of those prokaryotes. Some people think that viruses were unsuccessfully split bacteria. They had protein-membrane and DNA (or RNA) but no other cell organelles. 

3) The viruses connected their genome to the prokaryote. And that thing made it possible to make eukaryotes. Cells with a nucleus, cell organelles, and cell membrane. 


There is suspicion or hypothesis. That some viruses slip into the prokaryotic bacteria. Then that virus connected the DNA (or RNA) of that bacteria to itself. The eukaryote required two genomes. The first is how to make a cell membrane. And how to make a nucleus structure in the cell. The cell must also have cell organelles that are giving energy to it and make the protein membrane for the cell. That kind of ability is very interesting because it opens new roads in genetic engineering.

Cancer vaccines


Cancer vaccines are vaccines whose principle is the same as other vaccines. The idea is that the immune system detects cancer cells and destroys them. The customized cancer vaccines made separately for each individual are easy to make by using the person's tumor cells. Or if the person would not have a tumor the person's cells can turn into cancer cells by using radioactive stress. 

Then developers must kill those cells and separate the membrane proteins from the cells. And then those proteins will just inject into the person. That thing makes it possible to create a preventing cure for cancer. And that thing might save many lives and save lots of money. The cancer vaccines are the thing that can be very revolutionary.

Artificial cells can use to give genome therapy. 


Biotechnology allows to making of artificial cells. Those cells can use in bio or nanotechnology. If the artificial bacteria can change the genomes from the cells. That thing can use to give genome therapy. The idea is that the bacteria will destroy the genome of targeted cells. And then bacteria can inject another DNA into the cell. 

This is one version of how the new biotechnology can bring fundamental things to our life. If we are thinking about the controlled evolution there is the possibility that in the future. Researchers are transferring the genome that allows some mammals to live in the desert without water to humans. That thing makes it possible to make humans that must not drink so often.

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,
