The James Webb telescope uncovered that strange rings surround a distant star WR 140.

The strange rings or cores surround distant star WR 140. Those concerning shells look like some kind of waves. There is a possibility, that those concentric shells are formed when gravitational waves are hitting material around that star. Those rings can be pressure waves from that star or they can be the result of gravitational waves. WR 140 is a variable that changes its brightness in a certain period.

The WR 140 is the so-called Wolf-Rayet star. The surface temperature of that star is 70000K which is usual for Wolf-Rayet stars. Some of Wolf-Rayet stars have no hydrogen at all. They are burning pure helium or even heavier elements.

Or another thing that could form those strange rings can be changed the energy production of that star. Space.com describes WR 140 like this: "WR140, located some 5,600 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Cygnus, is a so-called variable star that periodically dims and brightens. Whether the star's variability has anything to do with the mysterious ripples remains to be seen". (Space.com/Mysterious rings in new James Webb Space Telescope image puzzle astronomers)

The WR 140 is an old star that is gone out from the main sequence. The changes in energy production of that kind of star can cause the pressure waves that travel through the universe.

WR 140 is the Wolf-Rayet star. Wolf-Rayet stars involve lots of helium, nitrogen, and carbon.

Their surface temperature is from 20000-210000K. There are two main types of those Wolf-Rayet stars. The type 1 version of those stars is called classic (or Population I) Wolf–Rayet stars are evolved, massive stars that have completely lost their outer hydrogen and are fusing helium or heavier elements in the core. (Wikipedia/Wolf/Rayet stars). The temperature of those stars is extremely high. And that makes them interesting.

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,
