What is the purpose of life? Are we living in someone's mind?

   What is the purpose of life? Are we living in someone's mind?


That is the question of what philosophers thought 3000 years ago. Religions are trying to answer that question by simply saying "The purpose of life is serving god". And then someone says "why god create so violent creature that is so hard to control as we are"?. The simple question and simple answer turned into something that caused discussions at least 2,000 years ago, at the time when our religion was formed. 

The induction question for that thing can be interesting. That is "What is the purpose of the life of the god"? That question made pharaoh Akhnaten turn religion in Egypt into monotheistic where the god is astral and invisible but everywhere a long time before Christianity. The question that made Akhnaten turn Egyptian religion was the induction question for the question for the question "What is the Egyptian's purpose of life"? That was "serving the pharaoh". 

But what was the purpose of the life of Pharaoh? The reason why Akhnaten turned the Egyptian religion was purely political. The astral god was a tool that offered the Akhnaten the ability to avoid responsibility. The idea was that if the pharaoh made the right decisions the punishment would come after that man's death. And because the God whose name Akhnaten was "Aton" was not living in his palace nobody can ask anything straight from the god. But Akhnaten didn't ask the question "What is the purpose of life of "Aton"?

Are we living in someone's mind or brain?

Are we living in someone's mind? The idea that there is one mind in the universe was introduced by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger. So we might say that Schrödinger is the man behind the "intelligent universe theory". He connected religions to that model. There are many versions of that model, and in some versions the individual lives on Earth for collecting information. At the end of our physical journey, somebody reads memories that are stored in our brain. 

Then that information is sent somewhere. In that model, the data collected when a human walks on Earth is used to develop something. The fact is that the electric activity in the brain increases when a person is dying. And then the final pike in the electric curves in the brain happens just after death. 

Scrödinger introduced the model that the human mind is part of a larger entirety he tried to answer the question "What is the purpose of life"? Somebody says that "serving the god". But then we must ask another question: "How a single human can serve, or what human can offer to a creature that is so powerful that there are no limits for that creature"? 

In Scrödinger's model, the human is like a biological Von Neumann machine that developed with the most powerful and finest quantum neural computer called the brain. The Von Neumann machine is the machine that copies itself. The purpose of this biological creature would be to collect data, that will connect to the computer's memories and help to develop and adjust the models that the creator uses for some unknown purposes. This is Schrödinger's version of the purpose of life.

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,
