The James Webb Space telescope begins a new era in astronomy.

The first images of the JWST telescope are fantastic. They are giving data about things like the exoplanet's atmosphere. And many other things. There is the possibility that the JWST telescope will see the first evidence of the multiverse and that thing is one of the most stunning expectations that is given to that impressive instrument. Maybe someday the JWST telescope sees the shine that comes outside our universe. 

And that thing will be the most impressive case in astronomy since Galileo Galilei noticed that four moons are orbiting Jupiter. The thing is that the JWST telescope will find many new things that have never been seen before. The sum of all hopes and fears is that one day the JWST telescope plasma spectrometer one day sees that there is some kind of molecules in the atmosphere of some exoplanet that cannot form in nature. That thing will prove that there is an intelligent civilization.

And in the scariest visions, the light that transmits this information left 3000 years ago. So that means the hypothetical aliens would be at the same technological level as we are now 3000 years ago. Those things came to my mind when I saw the first published images of the JWST telescope from the net. When we are looking at image 2, which is the calibration image from the Pleides star cluster we see the material bridges that travel between those stars. 

The image portrays the advancement of the sensor technology from Wise which is on the left side, to Spizer-telescope, which image is in middle. And then on the right side is the JWST image. The complete list of those images is at the top link below this text.

Maybe also the gravitational wave sensors would send to space.

In the space, nothing limits the size of the structures. Laser beams can travel directly over very long distances. And if scientists put a gravitational wave sensor in space, they wouldn't depend on the horizon and the size of the Earth. They can make gravitational wave sensors that a laser beam passes through the solar system

And maybe "quite soon" the TAU (Thousand astronomical Units) mission would become true. The original TAU mission was the spacecraft that researches Kuiper Belt. 

There is introduced an idea of the "Modified TAU"-mission. This system could be the most effective gravitational wave detector. In that modified system the TAU spacecraft would aim the laser ray at the sensor satellite that is on the trajectory near the Earth. 

Or there could be three laser satellites at the three different points of the Kuiper belt. Then they would form the triangle-shaped laser frame that could observe the gravitational waves with very high accuracy.

But do we need ground-based telescopes anymore?

But do we need ground-based telescopes anymore? The fact is that astronomy transferred to the use of infrared with gamma- and X-ray wavelengths. Ground-based telescopes cannot reach those wavelengths because the atmosphere absorbs them effectively. The infrared frequency allows the system to see the planets around the stars. And gamma- and X-rays are effective tools to give information about the high-energy reactions in the universe. 

Ground-based telescopes cannot see through the dust and ice that surrounds stars. But those telescopes can make observations about the movements of the asteroids and moons of solar systems. But spaceborne systems are making it possible to use those radiation frequencies that deliver data from the things that are hiding in dust and ice. 

The fact is that space telescopes are in more stable conditions than ground-based telescopes. So things like earthquakes are not disturbing those telescope's deep-sky missions. And the rotation of the Earth doesn't limit the observation time of the space telescopes.

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,
