Genetically engineered silkworms are creating silk that is 70% stronger than spider silk.

The hybridization of animals and other natural creatures can make it possible to create fundamental materials. Researchers created silk that is 70% stronger than spider silk by connecting silkworm's and spider's genomes. That thing can make it possible to create new and more effective protective materials than ever before.

Using cell cultures or bacteria where that genome is transferred can create a large mass of that extra-strong silk. And that silk can use in parachutes and even breaking wires that can stop aircraft on aircraft carriers. Also, that strong silk can be used everywhere. There is a need for lightweight, flexible and strong materials.

The bulletproof vests and long but lightweight ropes are good places where that kinds of materials can be suitable. But if that material can produce enough. It's possible to use that super silk between the outer and inner core of the new armor in helicopters, aircraft, and even ships. Super silk can also revolutionize textile production.

But then we can think about genetic engineering and the ability to create cotton or hemp genome connected to the spider's and silkworm's genome. That thing allows creating the new type of fiber, stronger than steel. If that kind of material is used in textiles that make them fundamental.

There are always risks in genetic engineering. The risk is that the genome will slip at the wrong point that thing can create poisonous silkworms-hybrid that can be dangerous to humans.

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,
