VARIOUS & SUNDRY 3

(20180313) All known superconductors can be seen as materials, which lose electrical resistance with decreasing temperature. And, they all have their own critical temp, under which superconductivity occurs. Then, they all could be called temperature-based super-conductors! Then, if we want a room-temperature super-conductor, then a temperature-based super-conductor may not be the solution!
What if, the solution is a (meta)material that becomes a room-temperature super-conductor, when a certain frequency & amplitude sound/vibration is applied? (Or a certain pressure or electric and/or magnetic field?)

(20180313) Biggest application of room-temp super-conductors maybe quantum computers!

(20180714) If what Galileo, Newton, Einstein really did, for physics, was to discover a new equivalence principle, and those were the real causes of their scientific revolutions, then maybe whole science progresses based on people keep discovering new equivalence principles (big and small) in their science branches! (Each new equivalence principle discovery, could be like adding a new link (graph edge) between 2 conceptional points of current scientific knowledge.)

(20180917) IFS/L-System/Escape-Time/Plasma/... fractal (drawing) method/algorithm can be seen as an emergent property generator
that generates fractal geometric objects as its emergent properties!

(20191005) "Superconductivity" (lossless power transmission) maybe achieved by switching from, sending changing electric fields, to, sending changing magnetic fields (so the electrons (in a wire) would not actually need to move @ all)?

(20191006) Animal Farms of the Future w/o Animal Suffering:
Very large farms in southern tropical lands where there are no harsh winters! All farm animals always live in open space (w/ high walls around) (w/ trees & plants w/ lake(s))! Every night, small & silent drones (w/ night/IR vision), auto-select animals & hit them w/ dart guns! & large & silent drones (w/ night/IR vision), auto-pick-up those animals & carry them to slaughter house! (Or, human workers could do similar work, using dart guns & (electric) vehicles!?)

(20191008) If all real particles have a cloud of virtual particles around (as currently thought), then all massive objects too!!!
If spacetime is quantum vacuum of virtual particles, then it would mean spacetime around all massive objects would be denser!!!
(& denser (higher pressure) regions of superfluid spacetime would cause light to bend!!!)
(Superfluid view of spacetime also explains inertial mass (resistance against acceleration of objects submerged in superfluid)!)
(Superfluid view of spacetime also explains why a constant velocity moving object (in vacuum) would never slowdown!)
(Superfluid view of spacetime also explains how/why gravitational waves do not die-out, even after traveling for billions of light years!)

(20191010) Problem: Image Recognition ANNs easily fooled w/ tiny changes in images!
Question: Does the same problem exists for Voice Recognition ANNs?
If not, then the problem maybe caused because of dimensionality mismatch between the input data & the ANN structure!
(If so, then Image Recognition ANNs would need to use 2D neural grids/arrays (w/ cells connected using Moore or Von Neumann neighborhood)!) (Triangular or Hexagonal etc neural grids/neighborhoods also possible!)

(20191011) Solution 4 Kurdistan Problem:
IMHO, the solutions for Kurdistan Problem & Cyprus Problem are the same!
IMHO, Turkish Region People of Cyprus are incompatible for joining/staying w/ their Greek Region People neighbors!
IMHO, Kurdish Region People of Iraq are incompatible for joining/staying w/ their Arab Region People neighbors!
IMHO, Turkish Region of Cyprus, as an independent state, is a failed state!
IMHO, Kurdish Region of Iraq, as an independent state, is a failed state!
IMHO, Turkish Region People of Cyprus have strong connection/relation w/ Turkish-origin People of Turkey!
IMHO, Kurdish Region People of Iraq have strong connection/relation w/ Kurdish-origin People of Turkey!
Also, IMHO, both Turkish Region People of Cyprus & Kurdish Region People of Iraq really want to be/stay internally independent!
So, IMHO, best solution for both would be to join Turkey as internally independent regions/states (thru public referendums)!

(20191012) Internal Structure Of Black Holes:
Sphere Volume: (4/3)*PI*R^3 => Sphere Radius: ((3/4)*V/PI)^(1/3)
Density of Uniform Sphere: P=(3*M)/(4*PI*R^3)
Schwarzschild Radius: R=2*G*M/C^2
=> Density of Uniform Spherical Black Hole: P=(3*C^6)/(32*PI*G^3)/M^2
=> As Mass increases, Density of Uniform Spherical Black Hole would decrease! But, if Black Holes are really made of Planck Particles, then their density need to stay (approximately) constant (as (approximately) equal to density of a Planck Particle)!
Which really means, Black Holes need to have a (spherical) core (which is made of Planck Particles) which is surrounded by an Event Horizon @ a distance!
=>
Black Hole Core Volume=Mass/(Planck Particle Mass)*(Planck Particle Volume)
Black Hole Core Radius=((3/4)*(Black Hole Core Volume)/PI)^(1/3)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_particle (provides Planck Particle Mass & Radius & Volume & Density!)

(20191015) A solution for sending very large/heavy payloads to space/orbit:
A very large octagonal platform (covered w/ a geodesic dome) (w/ direction control motors/systems @ its corners), carried by 8+ individual rockets attached beneath! (Safe/simple/cheap solid fuel rockets!?)


(20191015) Photons carry(away) momentum, meaning, any LASER device in space would act as a tiny rocket engine & produce (tiny) thrust!!! So, a space drive (which does not use any fuel, but use only electricity) would be just large array(s) of tiny lasers!!! (I think using UV lasers would be the best, since UV photons would have the highest energy/momentum!!!)

(20191104) Uygur/Uyghur/Uighur Problem:
IMHO, it is very clear that Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR) & People's Republic of China (PRC) are incompatible
& forcing them to stay together would only lead to more & more civil/social unrest/uprisings/chaos/violence, over time!!!
& so, IMHO, only realistic/permanent solution would be XUAR to be allowed/helped/supported to become a new independent country!!!

(20191104) Human experts can solve the halting problem, for any given particular/certain case, setup on/for classical computers (for as long as not too large program & input)!
Which is probably because human brain is a quantum computer!
Which probably implies quantum computers can solve halting problems setup on/for classical computers!
Which probably implies quantum computers are equivalent to oracle machines (since oracle machines can also solve halting problems setup on/for classical computers)!


(20191109) IMHO, if Universe/spacetime was really flat, then starting point (center) of Big Bang would appear to us as a "point" (in a certain direction)! But, instead, it appears to us as a "sphere" (all around us)! Which really means, Universe/spacetime has a uniform curvature (in time dimension)! 

(20191116) Example/analogy for why there is no sharp threshold/boundary between quantum & classical physics/worlds/scales:
In E-M spectrum, photons behave more like particles, as their wavelength decrease (& frequency increase) & they behave more like waves, as their wavelength increase (& frequency decrease)!
There is no sharp threshold/boundary between (2 seemingly contradictory) behaviors/physics/worlds!


(20191116) It is not just space & time are relative, but also mass & energy!
(For example, mass of an object & energy of a photon, may look different for different observers!)
(Existence or not (reality or virtuality) of photons, may look different for different observers, too!) 


(20191118) IMHO, if spacetime is really a 4D superfluid & gravity is its (varying) pressure/density, then, gravitons should/must be like 4D equivalents of 3D phonons (quasiparticles of sound) in 3D (super)fluid!

(20191118) IMHO, it should/must be possible to find/determine global/whole shape/geometry of our Universe
using/designing/developing suitable supercomputer simulation(s)!
IMHO, such simulation(s) must realize just 2 basic conditions:
1) (4D!) Simulated Universe must start from Big Bang CMB plasma state & expand (passing thru known stages/states) & reach/stop @ current age (about 13.7 billion years)!
2) After it reached/stopped @ current age, a simulated/virtual observer must be created inside & its own Observable Universe must be calculated/determined/visualized! & that Observable Universe must match (need to be similar) to our real Observable Universe, which we see/observe all around us! (Meaning, seeing/observing older & older galaxies when looking @ farther & farther away @ any direction & seeing/observing the/a CMB sphere all around @ farthest observable distances!)
IMHO, the main goal of such computer simulations must be to findout which of these 2 possibilities/assumptions is really true/false:
A) Our real Observable Universe is just like a perception/illusion & our real Universe is actually much bigger but we cannot ever see/observe it in full!
B) Our real Observable Universe is actually our real (full) Universe!
(My own personal view/prediction is A is false & B is true!) 


(20191221) Conservation of energy is actually conservation of (physical) information! So, even if Hawking Radiation is thermal, it still carryaway mass/energy from a Black Hole, so, it still carryaway (quantum) information!

(20200131) If Black Holes are made of Planck particles & (so) gravitational waves generated by Black Holes are quantized w/ Planck energy, then maybe gravitons are actually (massless) Planck (quasi)particles (of spacetime (superfluid))! (& if so, then Planck particles should/must be spin-2 bosons!?)

(20200418) IMHO, this is what exactly needs to be done to find/create (true) Theory of Quantum-Relativity:
First, think about how weather is (quite successfully) simulated/forecasted today, by assuming air is a kind of fluid!
Imagine, if you were a physicist (in 19th century), who had (random) movement/dynamics equation for an(y) individual air molecule & from that, you were trying to derive/prove the fluid equation for air!
(Which I think should/must be quite possible to do (at least theoretically)!)
Now, imagine, if spacetime is a superfluid & we even have the (GR) superfluid equation for it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_solution
So, IMHO, what exactly needs to be done is, start w/ (random) movement/dynamics equation for an(y) individual virtual particle of quantum vacuum & from that, derive/prove the superfluid equation for spacetime!
(Which I think should/must be quite possible to do (at least theoretically)!)

(20200512) Extremely important/valuable self-improvement projects for whole humanity:
1: Permanently replace/modify/augment intestinal microorganisms of humans (& farm/service animals) to never fart!
2: Permanently replace/modify/augment mouth microorganisms of humans to never smell bad (nor cause tooth decay)!
3: Permanently replace/modify/augment skin microorganisms of humans to never smell bad (because of sweating)!

3 Simple Reasons Why Wolfram's New 'Fundamental Theory' Is Not Yet Science
https://www.patreon.com/posts/3-simple-reasons-37055587

I for 1, think that, the true Theory of Quantum-Relativity will be found someday, but it will still NOT be the TOE!

It actually will be a GUT, that explains how virtual particles of quantum vacuum creates spacetime (superfluid), as an emergent property!

& the true TOE will be (also) found someday & it will be a (quantum computer based) Cellular Automaton (description/definition), that operates at Planck Scale, which creates/processes (real/virtual) elementary quantum particles (as its quasiparticles)!

Observing The Universe Really Does Change The Outcome, And This Experiment Shows How
https://www.patreon.com/posts/observing-really-37536560

For anyone interested, my personal view is, our whole reality itself is like a quantum computer!

& so, doing an experiment like Double-slit is like doing/running a certain quantum computation/algorithm!

(So, for example, when we add detectors to slits, it is like we are asking for quantum computation results at an earlier stage, in the computation/algorithm (& so turning/forcing qubits to bits at that point)!)

So, which interpretation of QM is the correct one?

IMHO, rules of QM are actually rules of how our reality quantum computer work!

& all experiments verifying QM are actually evidence/confirmation for our reality being a quantum computer!

& that is actually the correct interpretation/meaning of QM!

(20200609) Our reality being a (certain kind of) quantum computer, should/must be thought of as a new physical equivalence principle (w/ HUGE consequences)!
For example, it would mean/imply (internal states of) (elementary) quantum particles should/must be like, clusters/groups of variables/registers of qubits/qutrits!
(& if so, then, what are their exact structures/formats & processing/computation/logic rules (during particle movements & decays & collisions & creation/destruction)?)


(20200614) Commented on the article:
http://nautil.us/issue/86/energy/a-neuroscientists-theory-of-everything

IMHO, mind is brain machinery controlled & commanded by free will (like computer hardware controlled & commanded by software)
& life is cell/body machinery controlled & commanded by free will!
(& that is why, for example, identical twins & even identical cells have different character/personality/behavior!)
& IMHO, there is really nothing in laws of physics that can create/explain free will!
& so IMHO, neither true AI nor true AL will be ever created by humanity!

(20200616) Commented on the article:
https://www.quantamagazine.org/why-gravity-is-not-like-the-other-forces-20200615/

Think of this as a new physical equivalence principle (that leads to a new theory of quantum-relativity):
Quantum vacuum & spacetime are equivalent!

& if so then, here is its main consequence:
Spacetime should/must be a superfluid (emergent property) created at macroscale, from collective (gas-like) dynamic behavior of virtual particles of quantum vacuum at microscale!

(Why it should/must be superfluid, instead of fluid? Because moving objects (in spacetime) should/must continue moving w/o encountering resistance!)

(& if so then, spacetime curvature (AKA gravitational field) bending light should/must be because of changing index of refraction of spacetime superfluid, due to local pressure differences, for example!)

& why spacetime superfluid should/must be denser (higher pressure) around stars & planets etc?

Quantum Theory already indicates that all (real) particles are surrounded by a (denser) cloud of virtual particles!
& if so then, all objects made of (real) particles should/must be surrounded by a (denser) cloud of virtual particles!


By the way, "spacetime as superfluid" is NOT my own idea (but IMHO I completed some missing pieces of it, as above)!

More info for anyone interested:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_solution
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superfluid_vacuum_theory

Even Einstein himself seems to took the idea very seriously:

"Einstein, Graef, and a clash of theories"
https://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.6.4.20190717a/full/
 

One may ask, is there any known indication/sign/evidence for gravitation maybe really caused by virtual particles?

IMHO, yes there is & it is called "Casimir Force"!
(So, creating "Casimir Force" (in a lab) maybe seen/interpreted as creating artificial gravity!)


(20200620) If gravity is caused by (denser) cloud/gas of virtual particles around (real) particles & objects (made of (real) particles), then, the density of such/that cloud/gas of virtual particles should/must drop w/ distance, according to Inverse Square Law! (Which maybe possible to verify, theoretically &/ experimentally!)

"Unlike classical fluids, superfluid helium supports two types of sound waves—a density wave and a temperature wave—which propagate at different velocities."

Heat energy leaps through empty space, thanks to quantum weirdness (2019, December 11) retrieved 21 June 2020 from
https://phys.org/news/2019-12-energy-space-quantum-weirdness.html

If quantum-vacuum/space-time is superfluid, then, it should/must also support 2 types of sound waves: a density wave & a temperature wave!
& if so then, its density waves (gravitational waves) & its temperature waves are currently both observationally/experimentally shown/proven to exist!
(Full properties & dynamics of their quasiparticles still need to be determined!)


(20200621) Commented on the article:
https://www.quantamagazine.org/dark-matter-experiment-finds-unexplained-signal-20200617/

IMHO, Dark Matter is just a side effect caused by Dark Energy!
& so there is no such thing as any kind of "Dark Matter Particle" to find!

Think of how rising dough/bread creates bubbles & (so) a web-like structure!
& now imagine that, Dark Energy creates (keep growing) large bubbles of intergalactic voids & so the Cosmic Web!

Imagine that, spacetime is a superfluid medium that made of (gas-like) virtual particles of quantum vacuum!
& now imagine that, the Cosmic Web is made of denser spacetime superfluid (because of constant push from bubbles created by Dark Energy)!

"This Is Why We'll Never Detect Hawking Radiation From An Actual Black Hole"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/this-is-why-well-38824155

Agree to disagree Ethan! :-)
(No need for any response!)

I for 1, think that Hawking Radiation will be really detected/confirmed someday!
But, NOT by astronomical observations of any natural Black Hole!
But, instead, by experiments on an artificial (micro) Black Hole (AKA Planck Particle)!

IMHO, humanity needs to learn everything about Black Holes, for multiple very important reasons/goals!
& only way to do that is, someday, build an accelerator/collider that creates micro Black Holes (AKA Planck Particles)!
(By accelerating/colliding 1 or 2 tiny (iron) sphere/bar objects (w/ (half) Planck mass), each time!)

(By the way, IMHO, all natural Black Holes are actually made of Planck Particles & so they do NOT contain any singularity!)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_particle:

"A Planck particle, or planckion, named after physicist Max Planck, is a hypothetical particle defined as a tiny black hole whose Compton wavelength is equal to its Schwarzschild radius. Its mass is thus approximately the Planck mass, and its Compton wavelength and Schwarzschild radius are about the Planck length."


(20200702) Commented again on the same article above:

More speculation for anyone interested (& no need for any response):

According to Einstein's Equivalence Principle, gravity & acceleration are physically/completely equivalent!
& if so, Hawking Radiation could be indirectly verified/proven, by verifying/proving Unruh Radiation, instead, IMHO!
By accelerating/spinning a tiny object to relativistic speeds!
Like this experiment already seems to be trying to achieve:

https://newatlas.com/physics/fastest-spinning-object-300-billion-rpm

(The accelerator/collider that I talked about in my previous comment, would also need to accelerate tiny objects to relativistic speeds first, before colliding!
So, it would also verify/prove Unruh Radiation, before verifying/proving Hawking Radiation!)


(20200715) Commented on the article:

"Spotting Quantum Black Holes in the Lab" by John Preskill
https://www.quantamagazine.org/john-preskill-quantum-computing-may-help-us-study-quantum-gravity-20200715/

"Unfortunately, building a particle accelerator that could probe that scale using existing technology would require a machine about as big as the Milky Way galaxy."

"using existing technology": well-chosen words!

IMHO, building an accelerator/collider that reaches/probes Planck scale is really possible, but it requires new tech/design!

Imagine, a circular/linear accelerator/collider, that does NOT accelerates/collides particles/atoms, but, instead, (2) tiny (iron) objects (w/ each having (half) Planck mass)!
(It accelerates them to relativistic speeds before colliding!)

Its goal would be, to create a micro/min/unit Black Hole (w/ Planck mass) to study (& so learn/confirm everything about BHs & Quantum-Relativity)!
Which IMHO would be actually a Planck Particle (that is what BHs are really made of)!

From Wikipedia:
"A Planck particle, or planckion, named after physicist Max Planck, is a hypothetical particle defined as a tiny black hole whose Compton wavelength is equal to its Schwarzschild radius. Its mass is thus approximately the Planck mass, and its Compton wavelength and Schwarzschild radius are about the Planck length."

"What Is It Like As You Approach The Edge Of The Universe?"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/what-is-it-like-39583159

Just some personal speculation for anyone interested (& no need for any response):

What if, our whole universe is actually really like that "Artist’s logarithmic scale conception of the observable universe."?
Meaning, an expanding 4D spacetime sphere w/ Big Bang as its edge/border/surface?

& if so then, what would happen, if you had a spaceship & started a straight journey in any direction?

My guess is, you would never reach the edge, if you are going slower than speed of light!
(Thanx to expansion of universe!)

& if you are going faster, then you would pass thru earlier & earlier states/stages of universe, until you reach the Big Bang at/as the edge!
(Temperature & radiation would keep increasing, until your spaceship is destroyed, long before reaching the edge, though! :-)


(20200804) Responded to another comment:

"There is no place today in our universe that still exhibits those conditions of the Big Bang ( temperature, density, etc )."

I am well aware of the conventional/common/consensus view!

The possibility of whole universe structure, which I was describing, is something more advanced (& definitely non-intuitive & not easy to understand for most people)!
A 4D (spherical) universe (emphasis on 4D)!!!
Imagine, if it is made of layers & outside layers only exist in earlier times (NOT today)! (Like frozen in time!)

I am not claiming it has to be true, but claiming it is actually really possible!

I noticed, for example, that cosmologists seriously considering whole universe maybe a multidimensional torus!
I do not think my idea is really any less physically possible than such a complex geometry!

In any case, I had said in this website in the past that, IMHO, the real/whole geometry of our universe could be found/determined/proven using a (specifically designed) computer simulation (someday)!


Here is a better description of what I was thinking/describing/proposing (for anyone interested & no need for any response):

Imagine, if our universe was a 4D (expanding) sphere, where time passes slower as one gets closer to the edge/border/surface (Big Bang)!
(Because, energy/mass density increases & so time slows down (because of Relativity)!)
(So, outer layers are still in earlier times/states/stages!)

MAUNA KEA PROBLEM

These below are my views/comments on the issue (for anyone interested) which were previously published @

"Astronomy Faces A Field-Defining Choice In Choosing The Next Steps For The TMT"
Posted by Ethan Siegel @ Aug 9 at 1:00am

First of all:
Are Native Hawaiians the real/true owners of Hawaii?
Are Native Americans the real/true owners of North America?
Are Native Australians the real/true owners of Australia?

History of our world clearly shows that each & every piece of land keeps changing owners!
Which ones of those are the real/true owners?

IMHO, there is really/truly no such thing as any group of people being the real/true/permanent owners of any piece of land on Earth!

&, IMHO, peaceful protests are OK, but I would not call blocking a road peaceful protest!

Also, IMHO, all issues like this should/must be resolved using democracy, as USA being a democratic country!
(Meaning a state-wide public referendum in Hawaii!)

I remember reading about many years ago that Native Americans were protesting
& trying to prevent NASA from doing something on the Moon, by claiming Moon is sacred for them!

So, all the countries need to stop sending "stuff" to Moon, because it is sacred to Native Americans?

Or, all the countries need permission each time (thus effectively making Native Americans owners of the Moon)?

If I was representing the astronomers & the protesters said to me:
"You all must leave because this mountain is sacred to us!"
Then I would answer:
"We will stay because this mountain is even more sacred to us!" :-)

If we compared, all contributions of Native Hawaiians to human civilization, in their whole history,
against/versus, all contributions of astronomical observatories on top of Mauna Kea,
(for example) within last 40 years, which side we really think would be (much) greater???

IMHO, if Native Hawaiians really valued/cared Mauna Kea, then they would be really proud that
it serves whole humanity so greatly, thanx to all astronomical observatories it hosts!!!

IMHO, comparing sacredness of Mauna Kea (to Native Hawaiians),
to sacredness of Vatican (to Christians) or sacredness of Mecca (to Muslims), etc, is UTTERLY RIDICULOUS!!!

If it was really that sacred then:
Where were they when the 1st astronomical observatory was about to be build?
Where were they when the 2nd astronomical observatory was about to be build?
Where were they when the 3rd astronomical observatory was about to be build?
...
Where were they when the 13th astronomical observatory was about to be build?

So they realized how sacred it is @ the 14th???
How about anybody try to build anything like that @ Vatican or Mecca today & see what happens???

PRESIDENT IMPEACHMENT OBSESSION

I myself clearly remember that, throughout presidency of Barrack Obama from Democrat Party,
(some) politicians of Republican Party were (obviously) obsessed w/ presidential impeachment!
Because, they kept trying to use one reason/excuse after another for presidential impeachment!

& it is also obvious that, (some) politicians of Democrat Party are obsessed w/ presidential impeachment
& so, they are keep trying to use one reason/excuse after another for presidential impeachment,
throughout presidency of Donald Trump from Republican Party!

First of all, IMHO, presidential impeachment should/must be tried/done only in truly extreme situations!
& only when reason(s) for it, is/are very clearly/obviously justified, to almost all of USA citizens!
Because, if presidential impeachment is done/succeeds using any "minor technicality" kind of reason/excuse,
it would ONLY INCREASE POLITICAL/SOCIAL POLARIZATION in the country, instead of really solving any problem!

Also, very obviously, if either/both political parties keep trying to do presidential impeachment,
it would ONLY INCREASE POLITICAL/SOCIAL POLARIZATION in the country, instead of really solving any problem!

IMHO, elected politicians of both political parties really need to ask themselves:
Why USA public elected me?:
"To join/lead the fight against the other party"
OR:
"To serve the country/public by helping/supporting all new laws good for the country/public"
(Which often require finding ways to work together w/ politicians of the other party!)

BUILDING DESIGN STANDARDIZATION PROBLEM

Imagine that, whenever someone wanted to buy a car, if that car was designed & built from ground-up!
Imagine that, how much more time it would take to produce each car & how much more each car would cost!
& also realize, all repair & maintenance costs would be much higher!

& yet, realize that, that is the exact situation w/ building design & construction today!
Each building project is designed & built from ground-up!

Now imagine a future world where/when, there was a global standard set of (free) building designs of all kinds!
So where/when-ever, someone wanted to build any kind of building project, (s)he would just choose one or more of the standard building designs!

Imagine that, all building designs in the standard set, are designed for certain max limits for earthquakes & bad weather & fire etc.
(So that all buildings in the world would have the same/standard level of strength/durability against all kinds of disasters!)
(They also should/must provide same max limit for time durability (against rusting etc)!)

Imagine that, over time, each building design in the set was modified/replaced w/ improved versions!
(& new designs kept getting added as needed/wanted, also!)

Imagine that, each building design is also designed to be (de)constructed fast/easy/cheap (like LEGO!?)!

Imagine that, there could be multiple standard building design sets:
For example, imagine a set for military buildings, which have much higher strength & durability standards!

Also, IMHO, this kind of full standardization would be especially perfect for using Shipping Container Architecture to solve global cheap housing problem!
Imagine, giant metal skeleton buildings (built like LEGO), which just provide slots for standardized Shipping Container housing units!
Imagine, each giant building has a robotic system that can take a housing unit from a truck waiting below & insert it to any slot in the building & vice versa!

STREET SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS R NEEDED

Many cities in the world already have street surveillance cameras & IMHO all cities should/must have them!

Why?

Imagine a future, where/when all cities & towns have street surveillance cameras @ all their streets.
Imagine, they also have Facial (& Voice) (& License Plate) Recognition Tech!
Imagine, their videos also processed in real time by AI systems!

Realize, then, all criminals could be quickly found/caught!
Realize, then, all kinds of crime committed on the streets could be quickly detected & recorded as evidence!
Realize, then, all kinds of (traffic) accidents on the streets could be quickly detected & recorded as evidence!
Realize, then, all kinds of terrorist attacks on the streets could be quickly detected & recorded as evidence!
Realize, then, any dangerous people/vehicles could be tracked (& recorded) everywhere they go!
...

What about privacy?

We already live in a world almost everybody (on the street) have camera phones!
There is really no way for anybody on the street to have/expect privacy anymore!

Also, IMHO, general public is NOT obsessed w/ privacy, quite unlike what self-appointed "privacy advocates" always claim/pretend!

But how we could really know street surveillance cameras are effective against crime (for example)?

First of all, not all crimes are committed on the streets!
So, we must look @ & compare (for before & after) crime statistics, for only crimes committed on the streets!
For example, how many crimes on the streets in each year & how many of those criminals caught later & how long took to catch those criminals!

Also, realize, since not all crimes committed on the streets, it would be best to extend usage of such cameras as much as possible!
So, putting/using them @ all public places (not just streets) would be the best (like airports & stadiums & ...)!

20190808

DATA ENCRYPTION PROBLEM

IMHO, government law enforcement should/must have full access to all kinds of mass communication data (& by (national/global) law(s) to be made)!!!
(This includes all kinds of phone & internet communication data & data stored in all kinds of smart phones & computers!!!)
(So, IMHO, any encryption method is OK but only as long as government law enforcement still have full access (decryption key(s))!!!)

Why???

Because otherwise safe haven(s) for all kinds of criminal activities & illegal/harmful contents/behaviors would be created/allowed!!!
Which is absolutely against common good of general public!!!

Imagine that, in physical world, what if, security (law enforcement) people in airports, were forbidden from searching any passengers (& their belongings), unless they have a specific court order for each & every passenger who they want to search???
How much increase in criminal activity that would cause???

Now consider, how much crime is done today in virtual world (using internet & computers & smart-phones)!!!

IMHO, just like government law enforcement people need to be able to do searches in physical world, they also need to be able to do the same in virtual world, for them to be able to FULLY protect & serve common good of general public!!!

Also, IMHO, general public is NOT obsessed w/ privacy, quite unlike what self-appointed "privacy advocates" always claim/pretend!!!
Also, IMHO, general public is actually happy to help government law enforcement (who are just trying to protect & serve common good of general public), quite unlike some people seem to think!!!
& of course, the truth can be easily/actually tested by asking referendum question(s) to general public!!! For example, imagine a referendum question such as:
Government law enforcement should/must have full access (ability) to all kinds of mass communication data (including all kinds of phone & internet communication data & data stored in all kinds of smart phones & computers), or not?
(ANSWER: YES/NO)

VARIOUS & SUNDRY 2

Explanation of inertia of objects w/ mass:
It must be because spacetime (quantum vacuum) is a superfluid!
When a force applied to an object submerged in a superfluid medium,
it would show resistance against acceleration!
But, it would show no resistance against motion in constant velocity!

Can Double-Slit Experiment be modified to show/prove information nature of quantum particles (electrons)?
(Add detectors to each slit to cause information loss (interference pattern disappears)
but add back information to electrons (to bring back interference pattern!),
by making them pass-thru an electric (or laser) field!?)

Femtosecond laser pulses create large spacetime curvatures nearby that can deflect normal laser photons?

What happens to gravitational field of a particle in double-slit experiment?:
An individual quantum particle probably do not have a gravitational field because spacetime is average/collective behavior of virtual particles of quantum vacuum (@ much higher scales than average particle size)!
(It is like asking what is fluid pressure of an individual fluid molecule (which is not really a unit fluid)!)

(20190816)
IMHO, redshift of CMB photons is NOT caused by, spacetime expanding on the way (& causing photon wavelengths to stretch & energies to drop)!
When a galaxy moves towards us, then its light looks blueshifted, but, its photons do not actually change, only our perception (& measurement) of them changes!
IMHO, redshift/blueshift of photons of other galaxies (in any combined relative motion compared to us observers) is only because of Relativistic Doppler Effect!
IMHO, redshift of CMB photons is also because of Relativistic Doppler Effect!
Because, our perception of them is, they are all always coming/originating from the edge of our visible universe!
& that perception is, a spherical surface (all around us observers (who are in the center)), that keeps getting away from us, faster & faster @ relativistic speeds!
(Question: If this is true, then, would it mean, calculation of Hubble constant using CMB is currently done wrong?)

VARIOUS & SUNDRY

Life Insurance Problem:
How many people got killed because of life insurance fraud attempts & how many more should/must be allowed to be killed?
2 possible solutions:
1) Global ban for life insurance!
2) Standard amount/limit for life insurance (for example: average wage in local country for current year * 12)!

Permanent Hair Removal Problem:
It seems all available methods/techs for permanent hair removal is impractical for multiple reasons!
Why no company trying to create a cream/foam/spray that can do permanent hair removal quick/easy/cheap??

(BTW/IMHO, any/all (neck & down!) (men & women!) body-hair is NOT just very unsightly & absolutely useless but also very similar to having a life-long parasite that is just keep wasting valuable nutrients from our body/blood & making us just keep wasting massive amounts of our time/labor/money!)

Global Drone Security Problem:
Why create a standard official national/global wireless drone communication/tracking network?
Why absolutely it needs to be able to track itself, all drone locations from their wireless signals?
Why it cannot be so that, each drone broadcasts its own location, or uses its own private communication channel, instead of the official network?
How to overcome overcrowded communication channel problems?

Ultimate Home TV/Video Projector:
RGB laser scanner, that can turn a big wall of any paint/wallpaper to a bright and full resolution screen.
It can also create small size screens, near (30 cm) or far (few meters).
It can work using a regular home power outlet and/or USB chargeable laptop battery (stack).
It comes with its own wireless 2d/3d mouse (trackball/trackpoint/touchpad/touchbutton)/remote/pointer.

New Chess Variants (Regular chess: King Mode => Add Emperor Mode and God Mode options! (At least!)
(Opponents w/ different levels of playing strengths could play in different modes in the same game!)

How could we test Strong AI? Is Turing Test or any other could be enough for a proof?
(Apply all tests again and again. Make each test decided by best found human expert votes/scores.
Keep going until all different tests pass for N times?)

How science education can be improved? (For K-12)
(By teaching each subject thru its history! (to put them in context!))

If antiparticles are really particles moving backwards in time,
if we had a device that can instantly switch all particles to antiparticles (and vice versa), in a little volume inside the device, and if we placed an intact raw egg in the device, and broke it (while it is still inside the device), and activated the device,
would time inside the device start moving backwards, and so the egg would become an intact raw egg back again, or not?

Why our world always needs more and clean energy?:
Imagine turning all useless lands into useful lands, using desalinated water pipe networks across all land, space frame greenhouses covering all agricultural lands, even towns and cities.
Imagine using large aluminum and/or titanium bars and plates to have extremely durable buildings and roads.
(Having lots of clean and near-free energy, would also make large glass panels and glass bricks a lot cheaper.)
Imagine making all kinds of vehicles and machinery, much lighter and extremely durable, by making them from titanium, aluminum, carbon fiber.

What should be general design goals for our cities, buildings, roads/sidewalks, vehicles?
Short lifespan (and cheap to replace) is better or long lifespan designs are better in the long term?
If there was no big problem for availability and affordability, would be better to construct all buildings from wood?
Or, would be better to construct all buildings completely from extremely durable (also expensive) materials, like stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, glass, highly durable kind concrete?
Would be better to construct beautiful (and each unique design) skyscrapers in cities?
Or, would be better to construct simple, similar (standard), but extremely durable (smaller) buildings (using expensive but durable building materials)?
A unique and beautiful skyscraper is better, or a smaller simple/standard design building that made to withstand almost any kind of disaster?
Short lifespan and cheaper and good looking vehicles is better, or long lifespan and expensive and simple/similar (standard) looking vehicles is better?
(Imagine if all vehicles were build according to a set of standard (and modular) designs, using all durable materials.)
Also realize that, when it comes to roads/sidewalks, naturally the goal is having standard and durable designs.
(Or people of each street in any city would like to have unique (and beautiful) looking roads/sidewalks?)
Obviously to make good decisions for buildings and vehicles, we need to consider long term consequences of all options.

What are the best design goals for all kinds of different buildings (residential/business/shopping/school/hospital/government/military)?:
Max beauty and variety/diversity, or, max space and durability (against time and all kinds of natural forces/disasters) and optimal/min cost?
If the latter, then why not create global standard open source optimal utility building designs of all kinds?
(So that everyone/governments/companies in the world would always have the option to choose to build "best bang for the buck" standard buildings everywhere needed!)

Whole cities of future (all kinds of buildings and roads), which are build quickly, using (designed to be extremely durable/strong) standard modular parts,
similar to LEGO! (So whole existing cities can be replaced/rebuild quickly onto non-agricultural lands!)

Triple pipe (water, industrial fluid, industrial gas) global (permanent) pipeline network (using packet switching method) (made from standard modular parts and designed to be extremely durable/strong)!

ProcessorInMemory: No general purpose processor registers. Every memory unit can act as a general purpose register.
=> Advantage: Reduction/elimination of internal data transfer instructions from all software!
Real World practicality/feasibility?

Even mandatory (and separate) smoke and CO detectors at all buildings is not good enough for general safety!
Grid power outlet + (rechargeable) battery operated (wall-mounted) (world) (open) standard building/house/apartment/office/shop/school/hospital safety device:
Detects fire/smoke, CO, LPG, natural gas, flood, earthquake, intruders/attackers, medical etc all kinds of emergencies!
Automatically alerts 911 etc emergency services w/ auto-generated SMS and/or email (which contains type of emergency, occupant(s) info (including phone number(s) and address))!
Records high quality sound (and video) and constantly keeps last N hours (and only authorized people can access, if/when needed)!

All kinds of computers/media should/must stop using non-mono-spaced fonts!

All English-speaking countries should/must switch to using Dvorak keyboard layout, from Qwerty (which was designed to slowdown typing in English)!

Global law to mandatory switch to using Metric System for all forms of measurements, and using none other measurement systems anymore, by a starting/certain/decided date!

Global law to outlaw all kinds of animal pets (except farm/utility/treatment animals, zoos) (starting by a certain date) to make sure no longer any chance of mistreatment of pets! 

Permanent/global eradication of all kinds of diseases/parasites should/must be a long term goal of whole humanity (w/ order of target priority: human, farm/utility animals/plants, wild animals/plants)!

Super/Ultimate Turkish Delight w/ All Kinds Of (Powdered) MedicinalPlants/Fruits/Vegetables!

Water-jet toothbrush!

Pill that permanently alters gut microbiome to stop methane production? 

If Hidden Variables idea was correct then Quantum Computers would/could never work!

Curvature of spacetime is pressure of quantum vacuum!?

How to stop/prevent countless children growing-up w/ bad/unqualified parent(s)?:
Having child(ren) should/must be done strictly w/ government license/approval (after checking/verifying all kinds of conditions)!

All trick/tactics used by pimps to trap/enslave girls/women are known to police & social workers!? & if so, are they also known/taught to all mid/high-school girls?

If all kinds of allergic reactions are bad then all humans should/must get treatment to get permanent resistance against all kinds of allergies? (By using patches containing micro-doses of all kinds of known allergic substances?)

Auto-navigating patrol drones w/ IR/thermal sensors/cameras to constantly watch all forests to detect any wildfires very early?
(Also using them in cities to detect all kinds of fires very early?)

All kinds of collision tests of all kinds of vehicles should/must be done w/ full fuel tank & battery, to be really realistic!!!

How many people & (farm) animals each disease & parasite killed & how many more each should/must be allowed?
(& how much cost & labor spent fighting against each & how much more should/must be spend?)
(Also realize each disease & parasite would only get harder & harder to fight against, over time!)
=>
Completely eradicating all kinds of diseases & parasites, one-by-one, should/must be a common shared long-term goal for whole humanity!!!
(Disease/parasite (common) carriers which have no essential function in nature (like mosquitoes etc) also should/must be included as (priority) targets!!!)

(202201204) Only allowing really qualified parents/families to have children, would/could mean, massive decrease in numbers of children (even w/ providing incentives/encouragement)!
So, it could be a good idea for all countries/governments, to start preparing for a future where/when most/all children conceived & grew-up outside of families!
Imagine that, all citizen health/personal details are in a national government database!
An AI algorithm selects best possible parents (depending on national population needs) & their sperm & egg used to impregnate women working for government!
& children born are taken to large government facilities specialized in raising & educating children!

HARMFUL CONTENT PROBLEM OF INTERNET

IMHO, Internet (WWW) was created for helping advancement of humanity, but today it is full of harmful content & it is becoming a bigger & bigger danger for future of humanity!

IMHO, it would be extremely naive to think Internet websites/companies would do a good job of cleaning/filtering voluntarily by themselves!
IMHO, past history of large Internet websites/companies like FaceBook & Twitter & YouTube absolutely/clearly shows that, they never really want to deal w/ cleaning/filtering of their own content! (Which is absolutely no surprise because it is no doubt a constant hard/costly work for them!)

IMHO, still, they clearly/absolutely have a social responsibility to keep their content clean!

IMHO, it seems like, large Internet websites/companies, like FaceBook & Twitter & YouTube, trying/working to cleanup their content currently, but that is because there is a huge public/media/government pressure on them currently & nobody should/must have any doubt that they would stop cleaning/filtering, as soon as the pressure is gone, given all their past history!

& what about countless other smaller Internet websites/companies?
Do we know if they are cleaning/filtering their content too?

IMHO, only realistic & permanent & general solution, would be to a (national/global) law, to always force, all Internet websites/companies, to keep cleaning/filtering their content!

But what kind of content needs to be always banned from whole internet exactly?
Do we have a fully comprehensive detailed list anywhere?

IMHO, the law could have a list that covers only the basics @ first & that list can be extended anytime in the future @ national/global level/scale!
AND/OR:
IMHO, the most basic general rule for banned content could be, anything that is a crime in the real world is also crime/banned in the Internet!
So, uploading video/picture/sound recording of any actual crime to Internet would be crime/banned!

IMHO, the law should/must also force all Internet websites/companies to verify identity of their users, always as best as possible w/ currently known methods @ that time!
(For example, GMail currently uses phone text messages to verify user identity!)
So that any user that uploads illegal content can be permanently banned from each & every website @ Internet!
Because, otherwise, people/users could easily keep creating new fake identities/accounts & keep trying/uploading again & again!
(Which would make, job of cleaning/filtering, a lot harder than it needs to be, for all Internet websites/companies!)

20190517

ABORTION PROBLEM OF HUMANKIND

Abortion should/must be allowed any time during pregnancy?
& if not, when exactly, it should/must be (legally) considered/seen as, killing an innocent person (& not allowed)?

IMHO, there should/must be a threshold time during pregnancy!
&, IMHO, the threshold should/must be start of heartbeat!
(Actually, IMHO, the threshold should/must be a little earlier to be sure of timing!)

I read that heartbeat becomes detectable in about sixth week of pregnancy.
So, IMHO, the best threshold is 40th day of pregnancy!

I read that similar ideas for abortion laws already known/proposed
& the biggest criticism against it, seems to be, "many women do not even know/notice, they are pregnant, until much later"!

If so, IMHO, that is just a technical problem which can be resolved thru technology!
IMHO, there is a really huge need for a (really cheap) electronic watch/ring sensor that can accurately detect pregnancy!
(Even, if possible, it should/must accurately detect, what day of pregnancy!)

20190515

INTERNET SECURITY PROBLEM

Internet clearly has a huge security problem, currently, caused by hackers & ransomware & malware!
It is also clear (@ least to me) that, the problem is keep getting worse & worse!

What can be done to solve Internet security problem?

Here are some ideas:

1) Switch all computer software to higher security programming languages!
(Instead of using programming languages (like C/C++) in which all tiny bugs act as secret backdoors for hackers & ransomware & malware!)

2) Switch all OS software (like Windows & MacOS & Linux) to work similar to smartphone OS (like Android & iOS)!
(Android & iOS work like interpreters that can easily catch any illegal code execution attempts!)

3) Increase severity of punishments for hackers & ransomware/malware writers!

4) Do not allow anonymous access to Internet!

IMHO, preventing anonymous access to Internet is the most important!

IMHO, hackers & ransomware/malware writers do not have much to fear from law enforcement, currently, because tracing back hacker/ransomware/malware attacks to their source is pretty much impossible!
& that is because of allowing/enabling anonymous access to Internet!

What needs to be done:

As the first step:
Globally ban VPN services (& Tor etc) which enable anonymous usage of Internet!

As the final step:
Globally, make it mandatory, to access/login Internet, using (biometric) ID & password etc.
& make sure (by global law), all Internet activities/actions/operations can be always traced back to its source computers & people!

20190514

Facial Recognition & License Plate Scanner Techs

IMHO, Facial Recognition & License Plate Scanner techs are immensely beneficial for law enforcement & common good of general public!

Imagine a future world where/when law enforcement can quickly find & catch any wanted criminals!
Imagine a future world where/when criminals can no longer walk or drive around @ public places/streets!
Would not these be immensely beneficial for law enforcement & common good of general public?

(License Plate Scanners could also detect drivers who did not pay fines/fees/insurance etc.)

(By the way, IMHO, electronic license plates should/must never be allowed to be legal anywhere, because they can be easily reprogrammed later, to defeat License Plate Scanners, by displaying fake license plates!)

Facial Recognition tech can also be used for ticketless public transportation & shopping etc, w/o needing to carry money or card etc.

Also, Facial Recognition & License Plate Scanner techs are bad/evil, just because,
they can do the same job, better (cheaper & more accurately & immensely faster) than any law enforcement people can?

What about privacy?

IMHO, general public is not really obsessed about privacy, unlike self-appointed "privacy advocates" always claim/pretend!
IMHO, the only people who are always really obsessed about "privacy" are criminals & their tireless supporters!

OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE IS CONSIDERED HARMFUL*!

There are a huge number of commonly used Open Source Software (OSS), as OS & DB & Web Server & Web Browser & Office & ...
& also it is wellknown that an expert programmer can intentionally create extremely hard to catch SUPERBUGS!
& also it is wellknown that software bugs can act like secret backdoors to target computer system(s)!

& if so then, is it really hard to guess that, all commonly used OSS must be full of SUPERBUGS, to be used as secret backdoors, whenever/wherever needed by hackers & ransomware & malware?

Also, IMHO, OSS is clearly/absolutely waging unfair competition against Proprietary Source Software (PSS)!
Why unfair, is because, OSS do not have the costs which PSS must keep paying for, like offices & wages & benefits & advertising etc!

&, IMHO, what unfair competition really means is, if never stopped/banned, OSS would destroy all PSS, sooner or later, eventually!
(A great example of this is, how IE destroyed Netscape, because IE was free, even though Netscape was far superior quality software!)

& if so then, the hugest question is, what would be the consequences, if all future software is OSS?

IMHO, it would mean that, almost all future programmers are, either no wage workers or min wage (aka worthless) workers!
Because they are workers who produce worthless (aka free) products!
(A great example of this is, how its programmers got paid 0$ when Red Hat sold to IBM for billions of $!)

Also, it seems that almost all leadership of OSS movement & projects are anti-government/corporate aka anarchist people!
Do we really want those kinds of people to control/command all software (& in turn almost everything in the world) in the future?

IMHO, all programmers in the world should/must stayaway from contributing to any OSS, which in competition vs any commercial PSS!

(IMHO, contributing to any OSS that is NOT in competition vs any commercial PSS would be ok, as long as its situation stays that way!)
(& if/when any commercial PSS appears against it, then, IMHO, that OSS should/must be converted to a commercial PSS or abandoned!)

(202308281) IMHO, OSS is OK/beneficial, ONLY when/where it is harmless/safe (for example, like when/where it is ONLY used for/as hobbyist software for hobbyists (just like when/how it was started!)!) (& as long as it is NOT used for any military/government/health/(education?/)business/professional/important/vital purposes!)!

DISRUPTION VIA INNOVATION VS HIJACKING

IMHO, there is a huge difference between, disrupting an industry via innovation vs disrupting an industry via unfair competition!

IMHO, Uber & Lyft & AirBnB are great examples of disrupting an industry via unfair competition!

IMHO, Uber & Lyft are nothing but illegitimate taxi companies, regardless of whatever they claim/pretend to be!
Are they in direct competition w/ taxi companies? Yes! Then they are taxi companies!

IMHO, AirBnB is nothing but illegitimate hotel company, regardless of whatever they claim/pretend to be!
Are they in direct competition w/ hotel companies? Yes! Then they are hotel company!

Why they are unfair competition (aka illegitimate), is because, they do not have any costs which their competition keep must paying for!

A legitimate taxi company have costs for vehicles & office etc & for drivers w/ wages & benefits, unlike Uber & Lyft!
A legitimate hotel company have costs for hotel buildings etc & for workers w/ wages & benefits, unlike AirBnB!

IMHO, what their unfair competition really means is, if they are never stopped/banned, they would destroy all their competition, globally, sooner or later!
(They maybe already banned @ some cities/countries currently, but that could easily change, if they keep getting more richer/powerful!)

The hugest question is, would that be really a great future for global general public?

Do we really want a future where/when our only options for taxi are Uber & Lyft (aka "someone's car")?
W/ lowest of low wage random (non-professional/inexperienced) people as drivers?
(Not to mention, a huger number of them could be criminals!)

Do we really want a future where/when our only option for hotel is AirBnB (aka "someone's house")?
W/ lowest of low wage random (non-professional/inexperienced) people as hosts?
(Not to mention, a huger number of them could be criminals!)

IMHO, Uber & Lyft & AirBnB should/must be shutdown/banned completely/absolutely/globally!

(Unless they can change their business models to legitimate! (Like Uber & Lyft working w/for taxi companies & AirBnB working w/for hotels!))

FRACKING PROBLEM OF THE WORLD

Definition from Wikipedia:

"Hydraulic fracturing (also fracking, fraccing, frac'ing, hydrofracturing or hydrofracking) is a well stimulation technique in which rock is fractured by a pressurized liquid. The process involves the high-pressure injection of 'fracking fluid' (primarily water, containing sand or other proppants suspended with the aid of thickening agents) into a wellbore to create cracks in the deep-rock formations through which natural gas, petroleum, and brine will flow more freely."

It is already wellknown that fracking causes/triggers earthquakes!!!

IMHO, the big question is, though, could it, also, cause/trigger a much bigger problem, or not???

What if, fracking could also dissolve deep bedrock (under a large area/city) & cause/trigger a GROUND COLLAPSE event???!!!

IMHO, what needs to be done, URGENTLY, for geology scientists, is to do, as many as possible/needed, extremely accurate/detailed experiments (using all kinds of bedrocks (& ground layer structures) involved in real world fracking) & extremely accurate/detailed computer simulations, to really PROVE, if, any type/scale of fracking, done anywhere in the world, could really, eventually, cause/trigger, a (large scale/area) GROUND COLLAPSE event, or not???!!!

GLOBAL PAPER GOLD CERTIFICATE SCAM

Imagine that, there is a financial instrument called a (Paper) Gold Certificate, that allows wholesale buying & selling Gold easily/quickly.

Imagine that, normally, each Gold Certificate represents a certain amount of physical gold stored somewhere.
(So, the relationship between Gold Certificates & physically stored gold is one-to-one.)

Imagine that, someday, some gold certificate companies pressured/tricked the (US?) government, to remove the one-to-one limit/condition!!!

Imagine that, afterwards, they start printing gold certificates non-stop & keep selling them in international markets!!!
Imagine that, they keep doing that endlessly for years & years!!!

Would not you think that, this (global) scam, would comeout sooner or later
& would cause whole global gold markets to collapse???

(Realize that, the global market collapse would surely cause gold price to skyrocket!!!
So, if the scammers secretly bought back & stored physical gold, they could make much more profit (later), than just selling their spurious gold certificates!!!)

(There are also paper certificates for other precious metals, which can also be used for scamming the whole world, the same way, for sure!!!)

20190414

ANIMAL CRUELTY PROBLEM OF HUMANKIND

IMHO:

Consider that, all around the world, any given time, a really huge number of pets, must be getting treated w/ gross negligence or cruelty!!!
Should we accept that as okay???
Or, do we really/seriously think, it would stop someday, perhaps, by teaching children @ schools better, and/or, by increasing fines???

Why do we really need to have pets @ all???
Only because they provide emotional comfort and/or entertainment to some people???
I for one, really do not think those are good enough reasons, to keep allowing all the negligence & cruelty continue, endlessly!!!

Also consider, all the diseases & parasites always keep jumping between humans & pets!!!
Also consider, all the invasive species problems, caused by, people releasing their pets, or, international pet trade!!!
Also consider, all the food pets keep consuming!!!
Also consider, all the healthcare costs of pets to their owners!!!

I for one, really think that, humanity should/must work towards, absolutely/completely banning all kinds of pet animal ownership, globally, someday!!!

But, ownership of animals, strictly for utility (like police/shepherd/guard/blind dogs, rodent control cats, etc) should/must be still allowed!!!
(But, only, as long as, there are no other practical solutions available!!! For example, inexpensive artificial nose devices could make police dogs unnecessary, someday!!!)

What about zoo animals???
I for one, really think that, only (very) large size zoos should/must be allowed & strictly by government permit & monthly visits/checks by government officials!!!

What about farm animals???
I for one, really think that, only (very) large size farms should/must be allowed & strictly by government permit & monthly visits/checks by government officials!!!

I for one, really think that, also, sale of any kind of living animals to butchers, restaurants, citizens, etc, should/must be absolutely/completely banned, globally, someday!!!

EYE FOR AN EYE

Is justice, really a natural law of the nature/world, or, just a human-invented cultural/social/relative/arbitrary concept?

IMHO, it is really a natural law of the nature/world!

For example, it is already well-known that, animals have a basic concept of justice/fairness!
It is also already well-known that, humans have a basic concept of justice/fairness, too, & starting from earliest ages!

Then, what is the basic foundational principle of justice/fairness?

IMHO, the basic foundational principle of justice/fairness, for both animals & humans, is always, actually, "EYE FOR AN EYE"!!!
Which really means, punishment should/must match to crime, always!!!

IMHO, our world have too much crime & always overcrowded prisons, because the foundational principle of justice/fairness is forgotten/destroyed/convoluted!!!

It looks like many people now think, "criminals are not guilty & they do crime because of bad society"!!!
I would like to ask then, which society in history, did not have crime problem because they were all "good" people?
Ancient Greeks, Romans, ...?
What proof/evidence exists for such claim/belief?
IMHO, on the contrary, Roman Empire, for example, lasted really long, because they followed "EYE FOR AN EYE", when it comes to justice system!!!

IMHO, another good example is, how countries of our current world, handle issues between themselves (when/because there is no global court to handle it)!
Notice/realize, whenever one country does anything bad/unfair against another country, the other country responds in kind/equivalent!
(& w/ neither more & neither less, because they know, both would easily lead to escalation of problem, instead of solving it!)

But, what it would really mean, in practical terms, if national justice systems of our world were based on "EYE FOR AN EYE"?
IMHO, it would mean, for starters, all violent criminals should/must be executed (& right after found guilty)!!!
(But, what if, the judge was unfair?
IMHO, all such decisions should/must be made by 3 judges @ the same time & by following majority decision rule!!!)

Also, IMHO, all violent criminals should/must be executed, absolutely regardless of their mental health/state!!!
(IMHO, a violent criminal, who is mentally ill, is actually an even bigger danger to society, NOT LESS!!!)

Also, IMHO, all violent criminals should/must be executed, ONLY by one of these 3 options: Electric Chair, Hanging, Bullet(s)!!! & their bodies should/must be cremated & their ashes should/must be ALWAYS dumped to sewage!!!

(Also, IMHO, simply/quickly executing violent criminals still would be only partial justice (mainly, to guarantee violent criminals cannot harm more victims & taxpayer money is not wasted for providing them free retirement) & if full justice is really wanted then it would require making sure all violent criminals experienced total pain/suffering they caused all their victims, as closely as possible, before they are executed!!!)

(20200405) IMHO, even a criminal justice system based on foundationally/fundamentally/absolutely important principle of
"Punishment (as closely as (practically) possible) Must Match Crime (AKA An Eye For An Eye)" may not always be completely/absolutely adequate, as a crime deterrent/discouragement!

For example, imagine, if only 10% of criminals of a particular crime ever get caught (even w/ law enforcement doing everything (practically) possible), then, those kind of criminals could easily think as/like, "my chances of ever getting caught is (really) low & even then I would only get equivalent punishment"!

So, IMHO, the punishment for any kind of crime, need to get higher, as "never getting caught" percentage gets higher!
So, IMHO, (for example) if only 10% of criminals of a particular crime ever get caught, then, criminals of that particular crime should/must get 100%-10%=90% higher punishment!

What about some people who think, the (foundational/fundamental) justice principle "Punishment Must Match Crime", is uncivilized/barbarism?

First of all, the/that principle cannot be argued to be unjust/unfair, because "equal (counter) response" is like the very definition of what is just(ice)/fair(ness)!
(Which can be (also) easily seen/proven from common views/behaviors of almost all humans & animals alike!)
(Which (also) implies the opposite ("NOT equal (counter) response"), is actually unjust(ice)/unfair(ness)!)

IMHO, what kind of behaviors/actions should/must really be considered uncivilized/barbarism, is actually quite relative/cultural/personal/emotional!
No doubt, just like there are many people who think the/that principle is uncivilized/barbarism/disturbing,
there are also many people who think unjust(ice)/unfair(ness) is actually uncivilized/barbarism/disturbing!

& if so then, which side's relative/cultural/personal/emotional view is the right (or more important) one; who can really tell/decide?

& if so then, how about we (as humanity) do NOT base our justice system(s) on any relative/cultural/personal/emotional view(s)?

& if so then, it should/must be clear/obvious (to any reasonable person) that basing our justice system(s) on the/that principle is really the only solution!

(20200421) Unanimous vote of jury should/must be required (for any trials)?
IMHO, requiring unanimous vote of jury is absolutely wrong & a huge disservice for justice & common good of public/humanity! (& majority rule should/must be used instead, always!)
Because, it is always possible few/minority people of a jury maybe biased, for example!
Like, someone being against death penalty, or, someone who always votes in favor of his/her own race/religion/political side, etc!
Also, just imagine what would happen, if unanimous vote was required for all political elections or referendums, too (if it is a really good/just/fair idea)!? Could anybody ever get elected? Could any important referendum questions/decisions (justly/fairly) decided/settled?
What if, just a single member of a jury is threatened or bought (especially in high profile trials)? Impossible?
What if, a minority percentage of general population is always quite bad at making rational decisions? Impossible?
What if, all congress/senate/parliament/government decisions required unanimous vote?
What if, all Supreme Court decisions required unanimous vote?
So, requiring unanimous vote for decisions, is really a bad idea everywhere/everywhen else, but somehow, it is really a good idea for (a(ny)) (criminal) justice system???
(20200422) Realize that, unanimous vote rule is actually equivalent of minority rule!
Because, minority opinion wins, as long as there is a(ny) minority opinion!
So, asking/insisting for unanimous vote rule is equivalent of saying/claiming "majority rule is unjust/unfair, so we want the opposite"!!!

(20201010) Punishment for criminal(s) should/must be cancelled/waived/reduced, if/when victim(s) declare forgiveness/sympathy?
Absolutely NOT! Because, such criminal justice policy would easily/absolutely lead to abuse/exploitation!
(Imagine a future world that all victims of all crimes constantly/always getting pressured/scared/threatened by criminals and/or their relatives/friends/associates, to declare forgiveness/sympathy! & so, sooner or later, it becomes (almost) impossible to punish any/all criminal(s) for any/all crime(s)! & so feelings of the victim(s) for the criminal(s) should/must be completely/absolutely disregarded for criminal justice process!)

(202110214) I had read a while ago that majority of people of California voted for executing violent criminals but the elected governor was refusing to allow it! (Who, before getting elected, had said that, he would do whatever the public chose!)
So, democracy is good only (as long as) when it suits whatever politicians personally want???

(202111055) IMHO, ruining/destroying lives of people is also just like killing them! & so, if it was up-to-me to decide, I would say that all (professional) pimps (like those who trick/manipulate/force naive girls/women into prostitution!) & (professional) drug-dealers (like those who sell strong overdose-unsafe drugs (cocaine & heroine etc) & rape drugs!) should/must be executed immediately, right after conviction (same as all violent criminals)!!!

A COMMENT ON QUANTUM-GRAVITY

I attempted to post the comment below, to the Quanta Magazine website article below, but looks like it disapproved by them:

(My comments on their website sometimes got published & sometimes not. My guess is, sometimes my comments got slipped past their crackpot filtering people & sometimes not!)

IMHO, to understand quantum measurements (done on quantum particles), we need to look at how/why quantum measurements done/used on quantum computers!

Measurements used in quantum computers, to extract information (to get calculation results)!
When a measurement done on a quantum computer qubit register, its state/information changes from indeterminate to determinate values/information!

Moreover, IMHO, to create a new theory of quantum-gravity, we need to start by defining 2 new equivalence principles:

1) Quantum Mechanics (QM) equivalent to Quantum Computer (QC)!

(Think of each quantum particle as a quantum computer register of qubits/qutrits!)
(& determine how many qubits/qutrits each elementary particle has & how their values change w/ different particle interactions/measurements!)

2) Spacetime equivalent to Quantum Vacuum!

(So bending of spacetime is actually (some kind of) polarization of quantum vacuum (of virtual particles)!)
