Do you know why the estimation of the age of the universe is so difficult?

 



Do you know why estimation of the age of the universe is so difficult?


The estimation of the age of planets bases the radioactive isotopes. 


The method that researchers are using in that process is the half-time of the longest living radioactive isotopes. The Bismuth-209(1) is the longest living known isotope. The problem is that the radioactive isotopes, what are used should exist from the beginning of the time, and that's why this kind of method is useless if we want to estimate the age of the universe. 


 If the radioactive isotope forming in the fusion reaction in the star, the method is useless. The radioactive method is useful if we must estimate the age of the planets, but that thing requires that there are radioactive isotopes on the planets, and there is a possibility that those isotopes are just ended from the eldest planets. So those planets are geological dead. 


There is a possibility that the tidal forces that are caused because of other particles like moons around those extremely old planets would cause that there is liquid magma inside them. But those planets would be far different, what we are used to, and it is possible that somewhere in the universe is this kind of planet. 



How to calculate the age of the universe?


When the universe is expanding the density of the radiation and material is turning lower(2). That means that when we are thinking the universe as the ball, what is expanding. The size of the ball, what we are calling is expanding the distance between those particles is expanding. And the density of the radiation and material is decreasing. 


So that thing can be useful in the calculations about the age of the universe if we would know the power of the Big Bang. The thing is that the estimation of the age of the universe requires very sharp measurements(3) and complicated calculations make the real-life work for estimating the age of the universe quite a complicated thing. 


The easiest way to calculate the age of the universe is to measure the distance between Earth and the point of Big Bang. The problem of that thing is how to make that measurement. The scientists should only follow the tracks of photons, and then find the point, where the photons are starting to travel away from Earth in the same line. 


And the thing is that making this kind of observation is difficult. The thing that would make this method easy would be that the galaxies would be in the same direction on the ball-layer, and then the astronomers must just draw the lines to the center of the universe. But theory is far away from the practice.

When robots are laughing and crying.

When robots are laughing and crying.  Does the AI have feelings?  Does the AI have feelings? Or can it be emphatic? The fact is this program code that controls the AI determines if it can give empathic reactions. The problem with the human nervous system is that we don't make a difference in the writing of empathic letters or telling empathic stories human or AI. Our nervous system is not adapted to AI yet. And that's why we cannot separate text written by AI from text that made by humans.  What does somebody make with AI that can emulate feelings? The fact is that the cyborgs are useful tools for infiltration operations. The human-size robots can have WLAN/6G connections with the central computers. Or they can form a neural network that shares information between all group members. The robots can also act as walking neural network-based supercomputers. That can make complicated solutions.  In those networks, each member shares information and their data-handling capacity all o

Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization

    Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization The Earth 2.0 or officially Kepler-452b is locating extreme log distance from Earth(1).    A new Earth-type planet has been found near the star, which is similar to our own Sun. The journey to that planet would take 1400 years, even if the spacecraft will reach the speed of the light. The planet has been found in the year 2008, but the confirmation of the existence of that planet has been taken time, but in 2015 the confirmation has been got, and Earth 2.0 has turned true.  The mass of that planet is 1,9 times Earth and the temperature is excellent if we are thinking about liquid water, but the journey to that planet will take so long, that we cannot ever go in there by using regular rockets and technology. The thing is that this kind of planets are the most interesting if we are looking for the lifeforms, which are similar to us, and the problem with that kind of things is that the communicatio

Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission

  Image I Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission 1) Tunguska UFO-theory  Tunguska meteorite is the mystery, that has been solved once, but then the case has been open again because Lake Cheko was not suitable for an impact crater. That lake has been introducing as an impact crater of the Tunguska meteorite. But the problem is that the shape of that lake is like a swimming pool. And that means it cannot form by a meteorite. So the mystery remains.  Meteorites can launch the natural nuclear fission if they hit the uranium ore, and transfer the impact energy to that ore. And is the thing that the famous "Tunguska" meteorite caused that kind of effect? There is also a theory that some "UFO" explode in that area, but the thing is that it is only theory, but interesting topics for some TV-series.  So I will begin this text by handling that theory, which is one of the incredible and outstanding theories in the world. Officially there is no physical evidence of
