James Webb telescope took its first direct exoplanet image.

JWST telescope took the first image of an exoplanet. That exoplanet is HIP 65426 b, the gas giant 348 light years from Earth and located in the constellation Centaurus. 

The HIP 65426 b is carbon-poor. But an oxygen-rich version of "our" gas giants. The exoplanets are named similarly to their binary star. But there is a letter b or c, etc. behind that name. 

The binary star HIP 65426 is spectral type A2V and its color is blue. The surface temperature of that star is about 7500-10 000 kelvin. The surface temperature of the sun is about 5778 K. The HIP 65426 burns its fuel very fast. And this means the lifetime of HIP 65426 is not so long, that there can form some kind of intelligent and technically advanced civilization. But the HIP 65426 b is otherwise a very interesting object. 

Maybe later we will get better images of the Proxima Centauri b. And there is the possibility that the JWST can find some kind of alien life from some planets. The HIP 65426 b is a harder target than Proxima b. Its binary star is much brighter. And the distance to that star is much longer than to Proxima b, which is about 4 light-years from Earth. 

Maybe JWST finds more exoplanets and uncovers their moons. And there is the possibility that JWST will solve the mystery of the existence of Gliese 581 g and d in that multiplanet solar system that orbits the M3-class red dwarf 20 light years from Earth in the Libra constellation.

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,
