The rogue waves are one of the most interesting phenomena in the oceans.

  The rogue waves are one of the most interesting phenomena in the oceans.  Rogue waves are unpredicted very high waves. Those waves look like Tsunamis that are forming in undersea earthquakes. Tsunami rises when waves reach the shoal and the water must rise over it. That means tsunamis are dangerous only on shores and shoals.  The rogue wave doesn't seem to have a connection with volcanoes or underwater earthquakes. And most of those waves are seen outside the shoals. That means the rogue waves can be very surprising.  In some models, rogue waves form when the water pulse that travels near the bottom of the sea suddenly impacts some kind of underwater hill or mountain. If the high-speed water layer impacts underwater hills, that rises water to the surface. And that thing can form a giant wave, that seems coming from nowhere. When a high-speed water pulse travels underwater water pressure will not let those water molecules release their energy to up.  "Scientist...

Only 1% less sleep increases senior brain risk of dementia.

     Only 1% less sleep increases senior brain risk of dementia.  The thing that makes this study interesting is that it can uncover Alzheimer's mechanisms. There is a possibility that dementia is a metabolic disease. When a person gets less sleep neurons cannot recover themselves. Traffic noise and waking up too long act like some kind of nerve gas. Neurons can't remove their adjustment during the night. And that thing makes it possible for neurons to get tired. That means neurons have no time to load new fresh neurotransmitters during sleep. And that thing causes overactivity in neurons.  The neuron doesn't have time to remove its metabolic productions. This can be one reason for the deadly plague that is visible in Alzheimer patient's brains. That plaque isolates neurons from each other. There could be many things that can cause Alzheimer's. And one of them is that metabolic waste starts to fill the cell. There is a possibility that those metabolic produces d...

The problem with exomoons. They are hard to detect.

  The problem with exomoons. They are hard to detect.  Knowing that exomoons exist and confirming that are two different things. Exomoons are moons and dwarf planets orbiting exoplanets in distant solar systems. And when we make models about those distant solar systems, we use our solar system as the model. Most of the planets in our solar system have moons. So that means moons should be a very common thing in other solar systems.  The exception is gas giants that are very close to their star. Their moons will fall into the star or vaporize because of intensive heat. But in some visions, the gas giant can have a moon similar to Earth. And that kind of moon could be an excellent place for intelligent lifeforms.  The problem with exoplanets is that they are hard to find. And their moons are far more difficult to find. The exoplanet itself must change its trajectory. Or there must be some kind of changes in reflection. The exomoon must be so massive, that it can cause c...

Gravitation without quantum part II

    Gravitation without quantum part II I write about black holes in this text because the gravitational effect of the black hole is so extreme. Similar effects but in weaker form surround all gravitational centers.  We can think of a gravitational effect as a thing that depends on the spinning speed of the object. We can use black holes as an example. When black holes spin, they form a similar-looking structure as a top. Spinning object interaction with quantum fields looks like the situation where we spin a stick in the dough.  That spinning object makes the whirl-looking structure around it. Then the poles of that spinning object pull particles to its poles. There leaves the energy stick called a relativistic jet. So if antigravity exists it exists only at the point of the relativistic jet.  And that means antigravity could exist but its area is very small if we want to compare it with pulling gravitational effect.  In the case. That the black hole ...

Cosmic fission tells about information about heavy elements.

 Cosmic fission tells about information about heavy elements.  Cosmic fission or natural fission in the cosmos tells about heavy elements near other stars. When heavy elements like uranium and radium split, they send radioactive radiation, like alpha, beta, and gamma particles. Alpha particles are positive helium ions.  Beta particles are fast electrons. And gamma-particle is electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays are high-energy radiation that source in electron-positron annihilation and other high-energy reactions.  Temperature and impacting electromagnetic radiation affect fission and critical mass. When temperature rises a critical mass decreases. Critical mass means the point of the radioactive material mass where the fission reaction turns self-sustaining. When radioactive material's mass rises higher than critical mass, that turns fission self sustain.  "New research suggests cosmic fission may play a role in the formation of heavy elements. Analysis of ol...

The sonic boom is a weapon.

     The sonic boom is a weapon.  The Soviet Union created many interesting aircraft designs. One of the interesting designs was the M-25 "Hell Reaper". The aircraft used a sonic boom as a weapon. The "Hell Reaper" didn't have any other weapons. Then the sonic boom. The idea was that low-flying supersonic aircraft could make sonic booms, that could destroy large areas. The reason why the "Hell Reaper" project closed was that there were no engines that could make that thing possible.  In some visions, the MiG-21, MiG-25, and MiG-31 were planned to be used in the same role as Hell Reaper. Today MiG-31 is used to shoot hypersonic Kh-47M2 Kinzhal missiles. To reach hypersonic speed the missile requires the MiG 31 carrier-launcher. The MiG-31 accelerates to its top speed and then launches the hypersonic missile.  Otherwise, Kinzhal cannot reach that hypersonic speed. The system is technically interesting, but it's more conventional and limited than expe...

The story of the oldest pyramid in Indonesia got a new turnaround and controversy.

     The story of the oldest pyramid in Indonesia got a new turnaround and controversy.  A long time before Egyptian sculptors made sphinx and pyramids nature made those places. For some reason those naturally formed, extraordinary-looking places turn holy. And then Sumerians and Egyptians started to make their pyramids. Those natural pyramids were holy places for people.  I know there will be a lot of "maybes" in this text. Indonesian archeologists said, that the Gunung Padang Pyramid is the oldest in the world. And that thing caused controversy. "We all know that Djoser's pyramid or Pyramid of Djoser in Egypt is the oldest". Or rather saying Djoser's pyramid is the oldest existing pyramid. There were some pyramids in Mesopotamia, maybe before Egypt.  South and Central American Indians built pyramids. But did Egyptians teach that skill to them?  And that thing can tell something about trade routes from the past. There are also suspected pyramids in An...

New research links smoking to mental disorders.

   New research links smoking to mental disorders.  Researchers have linked cigarettes with mental illness. But the question is does smoking itself cause mental problems? Or is smoking a cause of mental problems?  Nicotine itself stimulates neurons. And if that stimulation continues for a long time. That can cause changes in neural functions. When nicotine stresses neurons in the pleasure center in the brain they send neurotransmitters. That thing causes nicotine addiction.  Smoking and often nicotine dose causes those neurons to send neurotransmitters all the time. This thing causes non-normal stress in the brain. And if some brain area starts to operate abnormally way, that is not a good thing for brains.  "A new study indicates a link between smoking and an increased risk of mental illness. Utilizing data from the UK Biobank, the research suggests smoking may contribute to depression and bipolar disorder, with genetic factors playing a significant role. ...

How is lack of financial planning linked with a higher risk of death?

     How is lack of financial planning linked with a higher risk of death? When we are looking at risk persons who have bad risk management and who take non-necessary risks too often, we need some kind of indicators that we can use to select those risk persons. The people who take unnecessary risks like driving too fast also have an attitude, that they can avoid everything boring.  And financial planning is a boring thing. So lack of financial planning may raise the risk of death. And if that is true, that thing is connected with a bad lifestyle, too much sugar, and other things, like drinking too much alcohol.  "A new study shows that older individuals who engage in long-term financial planning have a lower risk of death, suggesting a link between proactive financial habits and improved health outcomes, particularly for those with lower socioeconomic status." (ScitechDaily.com/New Study: Lack of Financial Planning Linked to Higher Risk of Death) Also, bad compa...

How can an immortal jellyfish, "Turritopsis Dohrnii" help to extend human life?

    How can an immortal jellyfish, "Turritopsis Dohrnii" help to extend human life? Bacteria are immortal. The reason for that is bacteria transfer their DNA to their descendants. And that means bacteria are full copies of their parent cells. Immortality in higher animals than single-cell bacteria is not a very usual thing. But there is one biologically immortal jellyfish.  "Turritopsis Dohrnii" is a small, biologically immortal jellyfish. This small jellyfish has a great role in the research of aging. That jellyfish can take back its polyps form. And some insects have the same ability. During that process  "Turritopsis Dohrnii" removes things like zombie cells from its body. Removing zombie cells from the body helps slow aging and denies cancer.  " If the T. Dohrnii jellyfish is exposed to environmental stress, physical assault, or is sick or old, it can revert to the polyp stage, forming a new polyp colony It does this through the cell development p...

The benefits of bilinguals are big.

   The benefits of bilinguals are big.  A bilingual person can do many things otherwise than other people. They have great cognitive focus, and they probably can "excel at shifting their attention between tasks more effectively than monolingual individuals, according to a study recently published in the journal Bilingualism: Language and Cognition".  (ScitechDaily.com/Bilingual Minds, Sharper Focus: The Cognitive Benefits of Speaking Two Languages) A bilingual person can speak and understand two languages fluently. And we all know that this ability makes things like studies easier. But now researchers have noticed that bilingual persons have higher cognitive abilities than monolingual, average people.  "A recent study indicates that bilinguals may excel at controlling attention and disregarding irrelevant information compared to monolinguals, potentially due to their regular language switching. This finding contributes to the understanding of cognitive flexibili...

For the first time, researchers saw that a virus can infect another virus.

 For the first time, researchers saw that a virus can infect another virus.  SciTechDaily describes the virus that infects another virus like this:  "It’s known that some viruses, called satellites, depend not only on their host organism to complete their life cycle, but also on another virus, known as a “helper,” explains Ivan Erill, professor of biological sciences. The satellite virus needs the helper either to build its capsid, a protective shell that encloses the virus’s genetic material or to help it replicate its DNA." (ScitechDaily.com/Scientists Shocked by First-Ever Observation of a Virus Latching Onto Another – “I Can’t Believe This”) That means the satellite virus or virus phage requires another virus to make descendants. And that thing can be the first time when researchers see, that virus infects another virus. The satellite virus does not go into a "helper". But it rides with it into the cell. In this text, the satellite virus is called a sub-virus. A...

The mystery in the depth.

 The mystery in the depth.  Oceans are full of mysteries. Why do sharks, tunas, and some other big sea predators dive very deep? Sometimes researchers introduced theories that they would dive to those depths because of easy food. The idea would be that those deep or those leap-layer fishes don't recognize those predators. That would give them a surprising momentum against their prey.  The idea is that high pressure will press some dirt or metabolites from the blood vessels. And that helps those fishes keep their blood vessels young. And in some other models, the shark or some other creature shows that it will not have any genetic disorders. Because those deep-diving individuals have bones that can resist the water pressure.  "New research using electronic tags and sonar data shows that large marine predators like sharks and tunas often dive into the deep mesopelagic zone, interacting with its dense layer of organisms for feeding and possibly other purposes. This zone...

For the first time in history, researchers trapped electrons in 3D crystals.

      For the first time in history, researchers trapped electrons in 3D crystals.  Sometimes crystal skulls and Stonehenge were introduced and they were primitive quantum computers. In the crystal skull case. The operator puts crystal skulls into a ring around one skull or some crystal pike. Then that formation turns to operate as qubits.  The fact is that trapping electrons requires a special 3D structure. And that means crystal skulls cannot operate as quantum computers. The writing of Stonehenge is below this text.  The crystal brain.  The ability to store and trap electrons in the 3D crystals opens new paths to superconduction and quantum computing. Flowing electrons can form excellent superconduction. But the problem is how to trap those electron chains into their position. The ability to trap electrons in the crystals is one answer to that problem.  "The rare electronic state is thanks to a special cubic arrangement of atoms (pictured)...

Why was the 27,000-year-old Gunung Padang pyramid created? And who created that thing?

 Why was the 27,000-year-old Gunung Padang pyramid created? And who created that thing?  Stonehenge (Illustration) The term Cro-Magnon means Homo Sapiens that had no writing skill. Today this term is no longer in use as anthropological meanings. The Cro-Magnon is the common name for the oldest modern humans in Europe. But I use that term in this writing for meaning the early Homo Sapiens.  The question in Gunung Padang-pyramid is, can this kind of project succeed without writing and mathematical skills? And the induction question is: what is the beginning of the civilization? When and who made the first cities?  The oldest pyramid in Indonesia, called Gunung Padang makes Stonehenge and Great Pyramid look like new things. The age of the famous Stonehenge is about 3000 years. It was built about 2600-2400 B.C. The Great Pyramid was built in 2500 BC. So the Great Pyramid is about the same age as Stonehenge.  "Simple reconstruction of Gunung Padang with all four unit...

Project 8 measured the neutrino's mass.

     Project 8 measured the neutrino's mass.  There are a couple of places, where neutrinos can used. However, the use of those particles requires full control of neutrinos.  The ability to control neutrinos is also closer. The neutrino is the ultimate tool for the long-range quantum communication. However, making successful information transportation by using neutrinos requires that the system can catch neutrinos and then remove the information.  Another way to use neutrinos is so-called neutrino photon rocket engines. Those systems accelerate neutrinos with photons. And those particles would give more thrust to the rocket.  "Project 8 has innovatively used Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy to observe electron behavior in tritium decay, setting an upper limit for neutrino mass. This marks progress in a long-standing challenge in particle physics, with the potential to improve our understanding of the universe’s evolution." (ScitechDaily.com/Gh...

Can the universe be conscious?

 Can the universe be conscious?  Intelligent universe is a philosophical model about the purpose of the universe. The universe's consciousness or Intelligent universe theory is one of the most interesting philosophical ideas in history. The idea of that theory or hypothesis or model, how we can say those very big things depends on the writer or talker. The intelligent universe could be a network of black holes that form and oscillate at the same frequency. That network acts like a quantum computer.  But could that kind of system form spontaneously? That is an interesting question. Or could there be some kind of civilization that could create a network of black holes? In that model the Einstein-Rose bridges between those black holes transport information between those black holes. And that thing forms the universe-size quantum computer.  The intelligent universe is a philosophical model that is created to answer the question, what is the universe's purpose? And that t...

ESAs Euclid telescope unveils dark matter mystery.

   ESAs Euclid telescope unveils dark matter mystery.  Dark matter means the gravitational effect that dominates the universe. Dark matter is the source of the largest gravitational background in the universe. The reason why researchers think that behind that gravitational effect is material is that the gravitational effect is stable. And the observations tell us that dark matter behaves like visible material. There are places in the universe where there is no dark matter.  There are also places where dark matter dominates. There is a possibility that dark matter is standing gravitational waves. And that thing makes it possible to explain why only gravitational interaction between dark matter and other material is possible. If there is somewhere static gravitational wave that forms the gravitational effect, called dark matter that thing is interesting.  "The ESA’s Euclid mission has shared its first high-resolution, full-color images of the Universe, showcasing ...

Where energy that formed the Big Bang come from?

    Where energy that formed the Big Bang come from?  Are parallel universes real?  "Mind you, there are other possible meanings to the phrase “parallel worlds,” and this logic doesn’t apply in those cases. So, it is not possible, merely based on scientific data, to make a global statement on the matter. But ruling out one conjecture is a start. Stepping over the bodies of discarded theories is how science progresses". (BigThink.com/Are parallel universes real?) Where energy that formed the Big Bang come from?  We all know chaos theory. Or the model where a butterfly that flaps its wings forms a whirl that turns into a hurricane. The idea is that is this. The disorder cannot form from emptiness. There must be something that causes the disorder by affecting the system.  When the system is highly organized. The whirl harvests energy from it. And then it's power increases. On distant planets and Earth, the energy for those whirls like Neptune's dark spot comes...
