MIT astronomers found a strange radio signal.


Astronomers detected a persistent radio signal from a far-off galaxy that appears to flash with surprising regularity. Named FRB 20191221A, this fast radio burst, or FRB, is currently the longest-lasting FRB, with the clearest periodic pattern, detected to date. Pictured is the large radio telescope CHIME that picked up the FRB.

MIT astronomers found a strange radio signal. That signal is the longest known FRB (Fast Radio Burst) in history. If the source of that signal is the neutron star or magnetar. The question is, how it can be so powerful? Normally FRBs:s remain only a short time. 

MIT astronomers found a strange radio signal which looks like a heartbeat. Its source is billions of light-years from Earth. This kind of signal might have a natural source like some magnetar or regular neutron star that signal is magnet lensed. When the radio signal travels through space, and whenever the radio signal travels through magnetic fields those fields can increase its power. But that thing is only one hypothesis. Strange radio signals are always interesting. 

And in some wild theories, some of those signals could be the radio lighthouses of intelligent civilizations. The idea of that hypothesis is that the hypothetical aliens would send the strange-looking radio signals for aiming their telescopes to the right positions. And that allows transmitting data between those alien colonies and their central government. Also, those radio lighthouses would allow their spacecraft to aim at the right targets. But as I wrote that thing is only one hypothesis about the source of those strange radio signals. 

The fact is this the source of those strange radio signals remains a mystery until the telescopes could capture the first images of the source of those strange energy eruptions. Before those images, the source of the radio signals is a mystery. Maybe the JWST telescope can see what caused the BLC-1 (Breakthrough Listen Candidate) signal from Proxima Centauri. 

But the distance to Proxima Centauri is only 4,24 light-years. The signal that MIT researchers found is coming from billions of light-years away. As I have many times written. The BLC-1  is the interesting same way as the Wow!- signal, it has ever repeated. That means those signals are unique and that makes them interesting. 

The calculations give a hint that the source of the Wow!-signal could be in a distant sunlike star 2MASS 19281982-264012 about 1800 light-years from Earth. That thing opens interesting visions about the source of the Wow signal. If that signal source is at that star. The Wow!-signal traveled 1800 years to Earth. 

There is introduced an idea that some comet has caused those signals. But the problem is that the comet's position or chemical composition of that comet must be unique. 

The thing is that the source of those signals is a mystery. The interesting thing is how some comets can have unique chemical compositions. Or why do some natural reaction happens only once? The natural or "non-intelligent" reason for those signals causes interesting questions. And one is why that thing happened only once? 


And one thing about aliens and garbage. 


There is one bad joke that can turn nightmare. In some visions, the aliens would empty their craft's chemical toilette to space. There those things would turn ice immediately. And that thing could explain why some comets have a unique chemical composition. 

Who says that this is a bad theory? If aliens are real and they are traveling in interstellar space, there is always garbage that forms in their spacecraft. Maybe they throw something away. And maybe some of those things that they remove will travel to the Kuiper belt of some solar systems. And maybe someday we will find those things like broken electric circuits or biological waste from the Kuiper belt.

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,
