Researchers created fully synthetic embryos.

Researchers at Weitzmann Scientific Institute created human embryos from stem cells without sperm and eggs. That kind of thing is a breakthrough in genetic research. The ability to create a human embryo from stem cells is one of the most interesting things in the world of cloning and genetic research. The "virgin born" embryo is the thing that causes very interesting thoughts about abilities to use that technology in positive and negative things.

The Weizmann-institute embryos are similar to all other embryos. And that means somebody can "steal" one of those embryos and then use that embryo for artificial insemination. Artificial embryos are meant for cancer and other types of research. But maybe some people think that those embryos offer the possibility to make artificial people for some purposes that we cannot even imagine.

Normally, when we think about genetic engineering and super soldiers that serve in the clone army we think of the system, where the blastula-stage embryo will split in two parts. Then the other one will be put in the freezer into liquid nitrogen. The other part of that sliptted embryo will grow as normal people. Then if that person does the duties well, the system can turn also another part of the embryo into life. There could be different groups of those embryos, and the system selects the best of the best.

That kind of thing is interesting but at the same time frightening vision about things like the military. The ability to create a fully synthetic embryo means the ability to create a fully synthetic person. Those kinds of people have no connections with their parents. In some visions, the first people who will colonize the solar system and travel out from our planetary systems are that kind of clone.

Technology that the Weizmann Institute used in that operation can also be used to make immortal crews for interstellar flights. The immortal crew means that all crew members will cloned, and then the system transfers their memories to those clones.

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,
