Superheavy elements and "islands of stability".



The heaviest known element in nature is Uranium 238. There are 92 protons and 146 neutrons in that element. Sometimes people are asked why only Uranium 235 is suitable for fissile fuel for nuclear power plants. The reason for that is that there are 143 neutrons in its nucleus. And that thing means that all neutrons have no pairs. 

When one neutron leaves without pair it starts to rotate and this thing causes asymmetry in the weak nuclear force. When a neutron rotates its south or north pole turns against the same pole of another neutron. This means the neutrons are pushing each other away from the nucleus of an atom. 

One of the possible ways for a neutrino beam would be shooting the neutrons out from the nucleus of uranium atoms. That thing allows turning uranium 338 to uranium 235. But creating the neutrino beams is at a theoretical level. 

Sometimes some people are introduced that all neutrons in the nucleus of atoms are south pole against another neutron's north pole. And that thing keeps the nucleus of the atom in one piece. 

If there are too many protons in the atom's nucleus their electromagnetic pushing effect with the pulling effect of electrons rips the nucleus of an atom into pieces. That's why there cannot be a limitless number of protons in the nucleus of atoms. 

The thing is that protons are all positive particles. And they push each other away. In the same way, the electron core pulls protons away from the nucleus of an atom. So the thing that could explain the weak nuclear interaction is the pulling force between the south and north poles of neutrons. 

The south pole of the neutron pulls another neutron's north pole to it. And that thing could be the reason for weak interaction. The W boson would be like the bubble where the quantum fields are gone. So in that model the W boson particle forms when the south and north poles of neutrons are making the quantum-size electric arcs. And that thing explains why that transmitter particle of the weak interaction is so short living. 

There are synthetic elements that are far heavier than uranium. The problem with those highly radioactive elements is that they are so short living. Some researchers are planning to create particle-accelerator-based systems that are enhancing the superheavy particle's existence. The idea is that the particle accelerator makes those elements travel at extremely high speed. And that thing makes the time dilation that would slow the splitting of those elements. 

If those highly radioactive isotopes could stabilize they can offer the ultimate tool for nuclear technology. The synthetic elements like element 115 "Moscovium" are planned to use in lightweight, but powerful nuclear reactors. If those elements would exist longer time. They would make it possible to make the pocket-size nuclear reactor that gives megawatt-class power.

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,
