Astronomers found a one-kind-of of the triple star system.



"Artist’s interpretation of HD 98800, a quadruple-star system located 150 light-years away in the constellation TW Hydrae. Bin Liu and Alejandro Vigna-Gomez suggest that the more massive tertiary-star system"

"TIC 470710327 could have started in a similar configuration – two binary systems with one of them eventually merging into one, bigger star. TIC 470710327 is located very close to “Cassiopeia”. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA" (ScitechDaily.com/“One of a Kind” Massive Triple Star System Detected)


The massive triple-star system TIC 470710327 is very special. The reason for that is those stars are extremely massive. The binary stars have a combined mass of 12 times the Sun. But the third component has the mass of 16 suns. 

The binary stars are orbiting each other very close. And because the third component is heavier than binary stars, that means the system is not yet stable. The binary stars might turn to orbit the third component. 

Because the third component is larger. That means the TIC 470710327 is not been a triple-star system very long time. Maybe the origin of this system is in the quadruple star. In that case, another pair of those star pairs have melted together.  

Or maybe, the binary star pair has impacted to heavier star's gravitational field. That explains why the heavier component is still orbiting the binary star. 

The star system is made up of a binary set of stars, two stars that orbit each other, and one more massive star that orbits the binary. There are many similar star systems in the universe. 

But the TIC 470710327 contains very heavy stars. And that makes it unique. Another thing that makes TIC 470710327 unique is that its third component is heavier than binary components. 

This kind of stellar system is interesting even if they have probably no exoplanets. But there is always the possibility that there are some cold exoplanets outside that system. Or those exoplanets can also orbit between those stars. In that case, those planets might be burning hell. There would be no lifeforms on those planets. But they might be very interesting. 

Even if planets cannot form in those solar systems there is always the possibility that the massive stars capture some rogue planets. There are calculations that many of the planets in the Milky Way are rogue planets. Those planets are formed of nova or supernova remnants after their star exploded as nova or supernova. 

Or the eruption of their star pushed those planets away from their orbiter. Maybe Pluto and most of the Kuiper Belt asteroids are turning to interstellar travelers after the Sun erupted nova when it used its fuel.

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,
