So who found America?

 So who found America?

In the beginning, I must say that when we are talking about the finder of America we should rather say "the first European, who visited in America and made a document about that thing. Nowadays we know that Viking Leif Erikson(1)visited Nova Scotia and Newfoundland in the year 970 and he spent a year in that place.

But then we must ask the question, how Leif Erikson knew that there was land in the west? How did he dare to take his crew to Newfoundland? Could it be possible that he met some Indians in Iceland?

Did somebody tell Columbus about the existence of America? So did Columbus know the location of America, when he went on his famous journey in 1492?

We must understand that the places found when the ruler of the nation has been allowed to find them. So there is the possibility that Cristopher Columbus (1451-1506)(2) has known the existence of America, and if he knew that thing where did he get the information? When he started to sail to the new world in the year 1492 he went to the great unknown. America was not on the map during that time. How do you think that this man got financial support for his journey?

How did he confess his supporters about the existence of America? The thing is that Columbus was Italian, he was born in Genoa, and that caused his home language should be Italian or whatever was the language, what was spoken in that area. How did he confess the journey to America was economical and politically reasonable?

And was Columbus even the first European who visited America after Leif Erikson? (2) Were there some people between that Viking and Columbus, whoever wanted to tell about America to the king? Maybe those people were political refugees, who wanted to stay in that area, which was not on maps, because they might want to hide the Inquisition. This is only hypothetical thinking, but there is the possibility that some pirates or other kind of Europeans visited America before Columbus.

There should be some kind of proof that the journey was not made for nothing the three ships were delivered to his command. But the fact is that Columbus only sailed and mapped America during his three journeys. So who found America?

Many people think that Leif Erikson made the first settlement in Newfoundland in the year 970. The other thing is that there are stories that the Welsh or even the Ancient Phoenicians or Egyptians traveled across the Atlantic on purpose or accidentally. Or is it possible that some Indians like Pakal the Great have been traveled to Europe?

But the thing is that there is the possibility that the Arabic or Chinese explorers have traveled to America. But should we stop thinking about the people who have found America by using Europe as the center of the thinking? What if Chinese or some Eastern Russian explorers have been traveled to America before Columbus?

What if those people did not report their findings to their masters? We are almost sure that Polynesians visited the coast of America before Columbus. But when we are thinking about that mystery, we must ask how should we describe the words "finder of America"? Should we rather say "first European who visited America"?

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
