Creative people are less bored than others.

   Creative people are less bored than others. 


Social media, social networks, and neural networks are parts of the same thing. Computer and Internet-based social networks are not separate from the real world. If we verbally hurt somebody in an online game situation that person is very sad. Social media is part of our social network and everything that we say in that digital and virtual world reflects our physical world. 

Creative people always do something. They think and things like painting, writing, and other kinds of things give them something to do even in cold and dark autumn evenings. Creative thinking gives those people one thing, that is strange to others. That thing makes creative people find interesting things also in times when there is not very much to do. 

And when a creative person sees something, that thing causes a reaction where those people must just tell something to others. Creative and innovative person is not always the same thing. Creative people can make things like paintings or write essays. But innovative people can turn those things into real products. When we think about things like social media, we must remember that social media itself doesn't cause depression. 

The wrong type of mates and the wrong type of self-expression can cause negative feedback. And if negative feedback is very strong. That thing can cause very bad feelings. When we think about things like depression and problems social media is similar to any other social network. 



The social networks are groups of people. Social media is a media-based application that allows people to communicate with each other. But we must realize that every face in our digital social network is a real person. We can hurt those people very badly. If we write some "little things" about those people. And that can destroy our social network. 

Today mobile applications make social media augmented part of our lives. When we think about environmental connections with social media that thing can decrease energy use and decrease carbon dioxide emissions. If people are not using things like motor vehicles for meetings they use social media for making deals without physical meetings. 

But otherwise, servers require energy. One version of a decrease in addiction from the central energy production units is own energy production. Things like geothermal energy and solar panels are effective systems for guaranteeing the energy supply for servers. 

We can do bad things as well on physical or social networks. When we were young there was no social network. And in that time people made mistakes in self-expression in bars and other social situations. One thoughtless thing like "one salute" could also destroy a person's physical relationships. That happened 30 years ago, the same way it happens today. 

We should stop thinking the social media as a separate thing. We should think of social media as one type of social network. Or maybe social media is an expansion of our real-world relations. And we should think of social media as augmented media in our everyday actions. If we don't think about what we say or write, that thing can cause reflection in our physical life.

Precise answers require precise information. 


Chat GPT should beat people in math. The fact is that the Chat GPT should be an ultimate tool in things like math. Math is always simple. There are certain formulas. And Chat GPT must just find those formulas. That it can position certain values in certain points of the mathematical formula. Without certain orders the Chat GPT is helpless. 

If orders are not certain that means the ability to handle precise information doesn't mean a thing. Without precise, clear, and accurate information. Even the AI cannot make a thing. The AI is very good if it can use existing formulas. But if the AI must make something new it's in trouble. The AI can connect existing information. 

But Chat GPT falls from math and economics students. The reason for that is that the Chat GPT is not very good for creating new things. If Chat GPT must find values from text and find a needed formula from the net that thing puts Chat GPT in a position where it is not meant. 

If we want to put Chat GPT to make some calculations we should say the name of the needed formula. Then the Chat GPT must have the catalogue where the necessary values are. If Chat GPT must find the data itself by using some verbal task that is not mentioned, what is the right formula that makes a problem for Chat GPT? Chat GPT is best for analyzing certain and precise data.

Everything in us is in our DNA.

  Everything in us is in our DNA. 


When we think about the topology of the DNA and its connections with climate and environment we must realize that our bodies and our cells cannot match with all types of environment. Things like chemical environment and animal poisons can also affect things which skin color is the best. If animals like snakes are creating white poison, the black skin is better. But if the major toxic agent is black that thing is easier to see from white skin. Also, things like blood leaks are better visible on blond skin. 

Genetic adaptation makes African people black because dark pigment protects cells against sunlight. But why do northern people have white skin? The reason for that is in the environment, at spring the snow and sun create scattering light and the dark skin cannot protect cells against powerful UV light. And also dark skin can cause situations. 

Where cells are overheating in changes of temperature. In cold weather, people must protect themselves against the environment by using strong clothes. When we are looking at images of people around the world people who live in stable temperatures have black skin. 



"Just as different terrains on Earth foster distinct ecosystems, certain topographic features in the genome seem to provide an environment for specific mutations to thrive.

But people like Beduins and Europeans have blonder skin than people who live in stable temperatures. The temperature changes very much during the 24 hours. And if the skin is black. The temperature can rise in cells very fast. And it can cause damage. The white skin is better in the case where cells must let radiation travel through it to stabilize temperature in them. But white skin lets UV radiation travel the DNA. That means there is no perfect skin or perfect genomes.

The same thing that can make people adapt to certain environments is the risk in another environment. There are also many other things than just radiation that can cause cancer and affect the ability to survive. The cancer is not the only thing that the wrong genome can cause. Genetic disorders can deny the ability to get descendants. Or it can cause the situation that the creature cannot find food. Whenever a life circle is changed that thing forms a mark in the DNA. 

Skin color is the most visible example of genetic adaptation. But things like the ability to produce red blood cells are the things that are necessary for people who live in high areas. That thing causes problems with cancer, because if cells are splitting too often. There is the possibility that a person gets leukemia because of endemic carcinogens stress. Whenever a cell divides it has a higher risk of getting a mutation.

The neuron densities in the cortex area follow a consistent distribution pattern.

   The neuron densities in the cortex area follow a consistent distribution pattern.

The consistent distribution pattern, or Gaussian pattern, is the key element of modern mathematics. The consistent distribution model of neuron distribution in the cortex determines everything our brain can do. The cortex is the key element in productive thinking. And the distribution of cell types determines what our cortex can do. Some skills that neurons have are determined by their genomes.

Researchers have noticed that fruit flies have extraordinary numerical abilities. That thing means that the DNA determines what skills neurons have. All neurons are not similar. And when we are learning something, we transport that information to our neurons.

But then all of us realized that we don't learn all skills in the same way. Some of us learn math easily, but things like languages are harder to learn. And that means we are learning things differently. That thing causes the idea that we can teach any skill to our neurons, but some neurons receive some skills more easily than others.

This finding that has profound implications for brain modeling and the development of brain-inspired technologies.

What if we have only one neuron type in our cortex? What if we only have "math neurons" or musical neurons in our cortex? Could that thing cause the phenomenon called "savant"? 


That means some neurons are "math neurons" because they receive mathematical information better than others. Some neurons are "musical neurons" because they learn or receive information that is required for music. 

If we think that we have math neurons, linguistic neurons, and drawing neurons, we might uncover the mystery of the Savant. What if a person has only math neurons? Or what if we only have musical neurons? 

Neuron-type distribution in the cortex might uncover things like autism and savants. A savant is a person who is very good in a very narrow skill area, like math or drawing. But otherwise, those people might have no other skills at all. That leads to the idea that maybe the reason for Savant is that there is only one kind of neuron in the cortex. In that case, extraordinary distribution in neuron types causes a situation where a person has one extraordinary but very narrow skill.

The MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics)and Beoynd: Can Newton and Einstein be at the same time right and wrong?

 The MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics)and Beoynd: Can Newton and Einstein be at the same time right and wrong?


We cheer for new physics and new ideas about natural interactions. But when we think about General Relativity and Newton's principle that gravitation. Always interacts with particles and wave movement in the same way, there is an area at extremely low acceleration where gravitation doesn't interact with all particles in the same way. 

That means there is an exception in both reality and theory. There is a possibility that the exception is visible only in low-acceleration areas. So there is a window in gravitational interaction at low acceleration where Einstein and Newton fall.

Did Einstein and Newton's models fall near binary star systems because they just forgot that there are other gravitational interactions than just gravitation? There are no pure gravitational interactions in the universe. Also, other fundamental interactions, like weak nuclear forces and electromagnetism, interact with particles.

In some models, the gravitational centers pull quantum strings just to the gravitational center. But some of those quantum strings and quantum fields travel past the gravitational center. That thing forms a network of quantum electrostatic arcs that push particles away. When acceleration is low. That particle's impact energy is also low. And that means those particles cannot travel through that quantum network.



That anomaly was seen near binary star systems. So could the situation where two gravitational centers send gravitational waves cause a situation where those gravitational waves are deleting each other?


But what could happen to that anomaly at low acceleration? Gravitational centers pull quantum strings to the center of gravitation. The anomaly in gravitational interaction was seen near binary star systems. We can find answers to that anomaly in many things. In binary star systems, there are two gravitational centers.

That means those gravitational centers are sending gravitational waves that impact each other. In that model, gravitational interaction deletes some of those gravitational waves. And that causes interesting ideas about situations where impacting gravity waves are destroying each other. That means gravitational waves cannot reach objects with the same power as those near single gravity centers.


Or is the question about the situation where gravitational interaction is not dominating enough?


In regular binary star systems, there is also strong electromagnetic interaction. The thing is that electromagnetic interaction can affect particles differently than gravitation near black holes. The idea is that pure gravitational interaction requires that gravitation become very dominant. 

Or that requires a situation where there are no other interactions other than gravitational interactions. There are always other interactions in the universe. Even near black holes, there is an electromagnetic effect that pushes particles away from the black hole.

Forgetting is one of the most important things in the brain.

Forgetting is one of the most important things in the brain.


Forgetting is as important as learning.


Forgetting things is necessary for people. If people are not forgetting things, they will have a very large memory. And large memory storage makes the brain slow. The reason brains forget is that they can respond to things that require a fast reaction. This is the reason why people have three memory levels.

How often some neural connection is needed determines the level of memory. When the brain does not use some neural connections, it removes some of them. That transfers memory backward. If the neural connection is not used or needed, the brain removes that connection, releasing memory cells for some other purpose.

In the human brain, there are 100 billion to 300 billion neurons. Depending on how we calculate them. If we calculate only individual neurons, there are 100 billion neurons. But if we calculate virtual neurons, which means the neuron combinations that axons connect, the number of neurons can be 300 billion. All memories form when axons connect neurons.



"Neuroscientists suggest that “forgetting” might be a form of learning that benefits flexible behavior in dynamic environments, and their experimental tests demonstrate that memories are not truly lost but are stored in engrams that can be reactivated. Their findings, which have implications for conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, show that memories can be retrieved through both natural and artificial cues." (ScitechDaily.com/“Forgetting” Might Not Be a Bad Thing – Scientists Propose That It Could Be a Functional Feature of the Brain)


The purpose of memory is to ensure survival. Memory is not meant for learning things like mathematical formulas. It's made to remember dangerous things. This is why our memory stores negative things more strongly than positive ones. And this is the reason why negative things remain longer in memory than positive things.

When brains require some memories, they must send queries to neurons to see if they have the memories that a person needs stored in their structure. Every skill we have is stored in memory. Lots of memories mean that the brain must send more queries than the brain with fewer memories.


Why is forgetting a good ability for learning machines as well?


Researchers use brains and their functions for modeling machine learning. Machine learning means that the computer stores solutions that it makes by following certain parameters. The problem with learning machines is that they operate in complicated environments. They must collect lots of data.

And when those systems require a certain solution, they must check the entire database structure for all records one by one to find a solution. That matches certain situations. To make databases simpler and faster. The machine must remove data that it doesn't need. Without that ability, databases will grow too complicated and too big to give fast responses to situations that machines will face.

Scientists injected young mice's blood into old mice, and that blood rejuvenated them.


 Scientists injected young mice's blood into old mice, and that blood rejuvenated them.


That thing causes interesting visions about the possibility of creating something that slows aging. Before that test, researchers injected young mice with brain fluid.

Normally, we think that this kind of thing is hard to make. Our immune system destroys that blood immediately. But then we can think about the possibility of creating artificial or cloned bone marrow cells, and we can say that this kind of thing removes immune reactions.

Groundbreaking research where researchers can reprogram cells into stem cells can make it possible for scientists to rejuvenate an individual's bone marrow cells, making those observations even more fundamental than we think. The ability to create stem cells and turn them into bone marrow cells makes it possible to make bone marrow transfers to individuals by using their cells.

And the ability to use the receiver's cells makes this thing fundamental. Researchers can create Those new bone marrow cells by using artificial or reprogrammed stem cells.





Clones are also the same organism as the elder ones. And in that case. Researchers can clone cell groups or entire individuals. And if the only thing required is blood, that can be produced in cell cultures.

That thing causes interesting visions. In some visions. Researchers will clone the old mouse. And then researchers will inject the younger clone's blood into the old individual. Another version is that the crew takes the bone marrow from the fetus.

Then cryogenic system freezes that bone marrow in a cryogenic laboratory. When individuals turn old researcher injects the blood that those frozen bone marrow cells create into those old individuals. Another version is that those young bone marrow cells will be cloned. And then those young cells will be injected into the elder individual. Because those cells are the receiver's own, there should be no complications.

How do the mice have a connection with humans? Mice are growing extremely fast. That thing makes them suitable for research work. By using modern nanotechnology is possible to make pigs and mice produce tissues that fit humans. In those models, the tissues of pigs and mice will turn to create things like blood or skin, that fit individual humans. The system manipulates the DNA and reprograms cells so that they create proteins that fit the receiver.

Genetic manipulation makes it possible to create things like customized bone marrow. The idea is that the cells will reprogram to stem cells that form bone marrow. And if those DNA sequences are taken from the receiver. That thing makes it possible to get bone marrow that fits the receiver because those cells are the receiver's own. Polymerase chain reaction allows to make multiple copies from the stem cell's DNA. The idea is that one cell will reprogram into a stem cell. And then PCR multiplies its DNA. And then, the system replaces some other cell's DNA by using that stem cell's DNA.

Count Dracula, the king of vampires, dreams of immortality.

Count Dracula, the king of vampires, dreams of immortality.


The real Count Dracula was Vlad Tepes b. 1428–1431- January 1477), known as Vlad the Impaler or Vlad III. That man ruled Wallachia three times in the 15th century. The remarkable thing is that when we read the biography of that man, the precise year of his birth is unknown. Another thing is that Vlad the Impaler was not worse than any other European ruler at that time. The fact is that this man is the real person behind the myth of the blood-sucking vampire that is known to people in popular culture.

The fact about Vlad III was that he didn't do anything worse than other European noblemen. And he didn't invent impalement. All the punishments that Vlad III used were also used in other kingdoms. And when we think about the famous case where Vlad III claimed to burn a large group of beggars in one of his castles, there is a claim that the fire was started accidentally. Another thing is that people say that people cried because of that castle, not because of the people who died in it.

One of the remarkable things is that Vlad III ruled Wallachia inside the sequence of Vladislav II. The first reign of Vlad the Impaler was very short. Then the power went to the hands of Vladislav II, who died in 1456. Vlad III's second reign in Wallachia power was 1456-1462. The third ring of Vlad the Impaler was June 1475-December 1476, or January 1477. That means Vlad the Impaler ruled Wallachia three times. And two of those periods were quite short. That means there could be other people who helped to create the bad reputation of Vlad III. 

So Vladislav II predicted and succeed Vlad Tepes in his first period.  Some people think that Vladislav II was behind some of those stories where Vlad III was stamped as a psychopath who enjoyed pain. The letter that Vlad III wrote told that he suffered from respiratory problems and bloodied tears. So could some autoimmune disease cause those problems? Or did somebody poison that man?

(ScienceAlert.com/Scientists Connected Old Mice to Young Mice, And It Rejuvenated Them)


Vampires and bats, blood, and immortality


And then there are a couple of interesting connections between nature and vampires. When the young mice's blood was injected into the old mice, that young blood rejuvenated those old individuals.

But then, when we think about vampirism, two things fascinate people about vampires. The first one is immortality, and the second is fast-renewing tissues.

What if researchers changed the old person's bone marrow cells to bone marrow cells taken from a younger person? If the person uses the cells that are stored at a young age, there is no immune reaction against those cells.

In laboratory conditions, researchers give young mice's blood to old mice. The blood that researchers took from young mice rejuvenated old mice. And that thing causes interesting thoughts. In stories, vampires drink people's blood, especially young people's, because they get life force from that blood. In some visions, aging could also be slowed by using blood that is made by using bone marrow that is taken from the person just after birth.

Another version is that the young stem cells, or bone marrow cells, are stored in liquid nitrogen. Those cells are taken from young people, and in an ideal case, the person who gets this cure will use their cells. Those young cells will be injected into the body. And then they will take their position in the bone marrow.

Well, when we think about vampires in stories, those creatures have strong connections with bats. The tissue in a bat's body is the fastest renewing in nature. That means bats can get very bad injuries, but they can fly after a very short time.

Another thing is that bats have a sound organ that they use with their sonar system. If people have this sound organ that bats use to send ultra- and infrasound, that allows them to send subliminal commands to people around them.
