Researchers decoded the last signals from brains before death.

"Death is not a single moment but a process involving a cascade of changes in brain activity, including the depletion of ATP and a surge in brain waves, culminating in the “wave of death.” Researchers have found that this wave begins in the pyramidal neurons of layer 5 in the cortex, suggesting that death’s progression can be tracked and potentially reversed within a specific time window. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Death’s Riddle: Scientists Decipher the Brain’s Final Signals) Death is a mystery. We know that evolution created death and that old generations can leave space for new generations. Some species live only a couple of months. One of them is Labord's chameleon, which has the shortest life cycle of all Chordata. That species lives a short and intensive life. Those chameleons live only five months. And in that time they make their descendants.  There are many theories about this kind of species. And one of them is that some of those extremely short-li...

The new observation makes it possible. That system can create Schrödinger's cat state in optical pulses.

   The new observation makes it possible. That system can create Schrödinger's cat state in optical pulses.  The ability to make Schrödinger's cat state to optical pulses is one of the most incredible observations in the world. That thing can revolutionize communication and computing. In experiments, the researchers from Warzaw University used the Fourier transform to create a new type of optical pulse. Wikipedia describes the Fourier transform like this "In physics and mathematics, the Fourier transform (FT) is a transform that converts a function into a form that describes the frequencies present in the original function". (Wikipedia, Fourier transform).  That transform means that it's possible to calculate the form of original information after it travels through the environment which variables the system knows. The idea is this: if the transmitter sends information as wave movement. And that wave movement is turned flat or its frequency is changed. The Fourier...

Anti-aging medicines: the next-generation tools for continuing a working career

The thing that causes aging is damage to the DNA. There is a self-destruction process in cells. But somehow, that self-destruction doesn't always work as it should. If that self-destruction doesn't work, the result is that zombie cells are left in the body. Sometimes the thing that causes failure in the cell's self-destruction process is in genomes where telomers are turned short. Telomers are the first and last parts of DNA. And the self-destruction mode of the cells is hidden in those telomers. So if the self-destruction can connect back to the zombie cell's DNA, that destroys those harmful cells. Another way to clean those harmful zombie cells away is to use their shell antigens. Some of the zombie cells are not similar to regular cells. The zombie cell is hairy, and that means some mark proteins will touch those cells better than wealthy and functioning cells. Those proteins can mark the cell so that the immune system destroys it. Zombie cells play a key role in can...

The MIT researchers created a computer program that can predict human emotions.

The new computational model successfully predicts human emotions. That kind of system might be prohibited in the EU if the new AI limitation or AI-control laws are ratified. The systems that predict human emotions are one of the most risky things in the world. Sometimes people ask what kinds of risks are hiding in the systems that can predict or follow what humans are feeling.  The AI that can uncover feelings can use the computer's web camera. So if somebody uses that kind of tool during a web meeting. That thing can uncover things like if somebody on the table is somehow stressed. That AI-based software can also find out if somebody is telling lies. And this is one of the things that breaks privacy. When we think about this kind of software there should be a blinking warning that this kind of algorithm is in use.  "MIT neuroscientists have created a computational model that successfully predicts human emotions in social scenarios, using the prisoner’s dilemma game as a base....

CP-symmetry violation gives change to understanding the early universe.

We might call CP-symmetry matter-antimatter symmetry. " In particle physics, CP violation is a violation of CP-symmetry (or charge conjugation parity symmetry): the combination of C-symmetry (charge symmetry) and P-symmetry (parity symmetry). CP-symmetry states that the laws of physics should be the same if a particle is interchanged with its antiparticle (C-symmetry) while its spatial coordinates are inverted ("mirror" or P-symmetry). (Wikipedia/CP violation) The Big Bang theory explains that the universe and material formed in the "big explosion". Today we can say that the Big Bang theory is oversimplified. We should describe the Big Bang as the case where materials reach a certain energy state. We cannot say was there dark matter or dark energy before the Big Bang? And the theory of a series of annihilations is pure theory.  There is the possibility that the Big Bang was not a single and unique phenomenon. There is a possibility that the Big Bang was a serie...

Neural networks cannot learn anything without information.

We can think that the neural network is like a factory. Information is the raw material that this factory uses. Sensors send the raw information to the neural network. And this information factory's product is processed information. During information processing, the neural network interconnects information that it gets from different sources. And learning means that this system creates behavioral models for similar situations. Using ready-made templates. That made by using experiences makes reactions to similar situations easier and faster.  Learning neural networks are systems where the data sources are interconnected with data-handling units. But without information those networks are useless.  When neural networks categorizing the trusted pages that they use, they can make that thing automatically. The AI can use the user as an assistant, and show homepages to that person who estimates the data. And then the user can say if the data has enough high value. Or the user can s...

Higgs boson is the point where two sombrero-energy fields can impact.

In this text sombrero model and Mexican hat potential are the same thing. The big question is where that Mexican hat or sombrero is forming. Does it form out from the particle, or in the particle? If those Mexican hat potentials impact inside the particle they send wave movement that could explain the aging of the material.  When those potential fields impact inside the particle. They send wave movement. And that wave movement takes part of the particle with it. That explains why only particles with mass can turn to wave movement. The Higgs field pulls part of them in it. And the thing that supports this model is the fact that massless particles cannot turn older. The only speed that those particles have is the speed of light. And that thing causes time dilation.  So photons never turn old. The thing is that aging is connected with the mass of the particle. The particles with mass can slow, and they turn to wave movement. And that tells that interaction between the particle an...
