Who was David Hilbert?

Who was David Hilbert?

Everybody who has read about the "Mathematical millennium problems" is read about the man named David Hilbert (1862-1943). Hilbert was a remarkable mathematician and, sadly, the work of that man, what the great audience knows are those 23 Millenium problems, which are known as Hilbert's problems.

That man created really interesting and fascinating work with researching and fixing the Euclidean theories of geometry, and the errors in Euclidean axioms. Hilbert introduced ten of those problems in Paris  (1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 13, 16, 19, 21, and 22), and the rest of them were introduced in somewhere else.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert%27s_problems) 

 And the thing, what makes this interesting is, what were his merits in the year 1900 when he introduced that series Millenium problem of the mathematics? He was 38 years old at that time, and maybe he had invented something big because he took that famous lecture. So who asked about that lecture?

Those 23 problems are a really good tool for calculating things like geometrical models or prime numbers, for making some suitable solutions for those things needs superfast computers. There are many questions on the list of those problems and the main problem is, who choose those problems for that list?

And why Hilbert introduced them during his famous lecture? Hilbert made very pervasive work during his career with Euclidean mathematical and geometrical problems and fixed the errors in those calculations. And he created the idea of "Hilbert's space". He investigated the errors, what was visible in Euclidean theories and natural solution.

Those errors are minimum, but they are visible. That means that the Euclidean parallel axiom is not valid anymore, and the non-Euclid geometry is not involved sentence" the sum of the angles of the triangle is 180 degrees". 

The term "axiom" is very well explained in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom) but suddenly I have thought that is it possible that Hilbert made a linguistic mistake during his work, and made mistake with words "axiom" and "axal", what looks like almost same. And if the writer is tired, there would be mistakes with that kind of words.

If the persons own home language is something else than English, those kinds of mistakes are really common, and when we are thinking about Hilbert, could it be possible, that he wrote those texts in English? So if the word "axal" is meant by Hilbert, that would mean that there would be differences with the forms of geometrical structures in nature, that what they suppose to be, when Hilbert calculated them by using sharp and long decimal numbers. But this kind of things are only the theories, about that remarkable geometrician.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

Who really was Plato, the great philosopher?

When we are thinking about the great philosopher Plato, we are thinking about the man who established the Academy of Athens. And we might remember that this man was a traveler. He traveled in many places in his life and wrote many texts and books, which still is very respected thoughts about the state and other things. When we are looking at the books or series of books, we are facing the thing, that there were lots of texts. If we want to use criticism we must notice that the model of the ideal state is rising the kings in the very high position, and the thing would flatter the kings. And sometimes I have thought that maybe that famous model of the ideal state is written by somebody else. The thing is that the model, where the philosophers rule the state behind the lines of soldiers could be written for the persons like Justinian, who was really flattered. The thing is that this kind of writings was meant for flatter the rulers, who would not persecute philosophers, even they had d...
