there are two main variables that affect to the rate of progress in human society. these are:
- intelligence
- energy
solutions are:
- machine learning
- nuclear power
i have solver all the political issues of the world. you can refer to me as the wise one.

2025-06-04 18:02:40 UTC

it seems that nuclear reactions is some kind of a jailbreak in universe which allows to gain extreme powers from tiny input.
its also ridiculously funny how any political powers even think about any other means of producing energy, when this kind of jailbreak or a cheat code exists.

low processing transformation function in physics
physics knows something similar in fact. that is known as nuclear reactions.
only small amount of energy is used to gain enormous amounts of energy. also the amount of entropy created for example in such scenarios as nuclear explosion is many orders of magnitude larger than what was used for the generation of such a bomb.
what does this mean?
how is it possible to put only tiny amount of energy into a process but gain multiple orders of magnitude more energy or entropy out?

2025-06-04 17:56:32 UTC

what is a low processing power transformation function?
sha256 is an example of a low processing transformation function.
it is told that a low processing transformation function can transform information in so much, that it requires impossible amount of energy to find the original information after the tiny amount of energy used for the transformation.
from understanding the facts behind generation of information I=P, where amount of new information is always directly related to the amount of computing power used, the statement in previous paragraph is absurd.

2025-06-04 17:51:23 UTC

what is secret in hashing functions?
in hashing function secret is the original information.
therefore meta information of the original information is available by observing the behaviour of the entity that created the original information.
for example:
John created a message using sha256:
sha256("this is my secret message")
which created some hash.
meta pointer to the source of randomness here is john. the behaviour of John that resulted into hashing this message.
message was never random. message was result of some actions taken by the neural network controlling John.
probably a subsystem within a neural network which actions can be compressed into some psychological behaviour analysis.

2025-06-04 17:46:24 UTC

what is a secret?
secret in information is the hidden detail that holds pointer to the source of randomness used.
any function can be reversed by finding the pointer from which the randomess can be derived from.

2025-06-04 17:43:46 UTC

Theory of Compression
amount of new information created is directly correlated to amount of processing power consumed
terms:
information = data in most compressed form
processing power: cycles of data transformation
what this means is that:
if you are able to create 10 GB information in 1 minute, its probably possible to compress this information in something like 10 kB
this is possible by knowing the source of randomness utilized
therefore some constant can be defines, such that
I = P
I = amount of information
P = processing power
processing is information transformation. each cycle of of a process transforms some information into another form.
its not possible to create information faster than at direct relation to processing power consumed I=P. processing power on the other hand is related to two concepts:
- how advanced the underlying technology is
and
- physical power consumption

2025-06-04 17:30:56 UTC

source (metadata) is most of the time the most efficient store of information.
exception is if more processing power is used on top of the metadata compared to mass of the information.
however, processing power may contain steps that can be cut through. for example if processing power used contains random guessing (bruteforce), then the final values obtained can be used to cut through the processing power.

2025-06-04 17:27:44 UTC

inventing #metacompression
meta compression is a method to compress information by referring to original meta steps required to produce the information.
for example:
a youtube creator has created a video of size 8 GB. creating this video took her 8 hours.
to compress this video into a 50 kB file size, is to take meta information used to create the video file. this contains all the steps used by the video creator to create the video. this process assumes that all the data used in creation of the video is publicly available.

2025-06-04 17:23:13 UTC

Information:
comparing information to mass
higher mass requires more energy to move
larger volume requires more space to store
larger amount of information requires more space to store
and more bandwidth to move
Creating mass:
mass requires same amount of energy to create?
e=mc^2
energy has direct correlation to mass
In information this is not necessarily true:
to create large amount of information, large amount of energy is not necessarily required.
What is information?
- writing a book. Book may be observer as containing lot of information. Traditionally it takes a long time to write. In recent times, not necessarily - your llm can write a book in minutes.
Does book contain lot of information? What do you even mean? Ofc not. Book contains information in size of kilobytes or at most megabytes.
On the other hand creating video is very fast and simple, but it contains way more information.
Creating 8k video, what about 16k video. Amount of information in a video file is massive.
10 minute video file may be in size of gigabytes. And to create it you can use random process and generate such video in one minute.
So what does information mean?
And what is even randomness?
The video generated in 10 minutes, containing 10 gigabytes of data, does not really contain 10 gigabytes of random data. This is because even though compression algorithms used today cannot guess the randomness algorithm. Its probably possible to compress the video into size of a book or less, simply by knowing the method used in random generator.
Metadata level compression:
- do not compress the video data generated, move one step above it. Compress the method used to generate the video.
What is information?
Is it the data in the file we observe? Or is it the methods and steps used to produce that data?

In China and Tibet, mercury use was thought to prolong life, heal fractures, and maintain generally good health.

2025-06-02 13:23:23 UTC

The modern English name mercury comes from the planet Mercury. In medieval alchemy, the seven known metals—quicksilver, gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin—were associated with the seven planets. Quicksilver was associated with the fastest planet, which had been named after the Roman god Mercury, who was associated with speed and mobility. The astrological symbol for the planet became one of the alchemical symbols for the metal, and Mercury became an alternative name for the metal. Mercury is the only metal for which the alchemical planetary name survives, as it was decided it was preferable to quicksilver as a chemical name.

Electricity passed through mercury vapor in a fluorescent lamp produces short-wave ultraviolet light, which then causes the phosphor in the tube to fluoresce, making visible light.

2025-06-02 13:08:21 UTC

Ancient physicians used #mercury for various medical treatments, including as a purgative, diuretic, and treatment for skin diseases. It was also believed to have healing properties when applied topically or ingested.

Legendary accounts of Flamel's life are based on 17th-century works, primarily Livre des figures hiéroglyphiques. The essence of his reputation are claims that he succeeded at the two goals of #alchemy: that he made the philosopher's stone, which turns base metals into gold, and that he and his wife, Perenelle, achieved #immortality through the "Elixir of Life".

2025-06-02 12:53:40 UTC

Nicolas Flamel, one subject of the aforementioned work, was a notable, though mysterious figure, often associated with the discovery of the philosopher's stone, hieroglyphical figures, early forms of tarot, and occultism.

2025-06-02 12:51:52 UTC

The philosopher's stone[a] is a mythic alchemical substance capable of turning base metals such as mercury into gold or silver;[b] it was also known as "the tincture" and "the powder". Alchemists additionally believed that it could be used to make an elixir of life which made possible rejuvenation and immortality.[1][2]

2025-06-02 12:45:25 UTC

Of an estimated ten million words of writing in Newton's papers, about one million deal with alchemy. Many of Newton's writings on alchemy are copies of other manuscripts, with his own annotations.[151] Alchemical texts mix artisanal knowledge with philosophical speculation, often hidden behind layers of wordplay, allegory, and imagery to protect craft secrets.[187] Some of the content contained in Newton's papers could have been considered heretical by the church.[151]

2025-06-02 12:40:35 UTC

Although the laws of motion and universal gravitation became Newton's best-known discoveries, he warned against using them to view the Universe as a mere machine.

2025-06-02 12:37:01 UTC

Although born into an Anglican family, by his thirties Newton had developed unorthodox beliefs,[165] with historian Stephen Snobelen labelling him a heretic.

2025-06-02 12:34:17 UTC

Newton's hair was posthumously examined and found to contain mercury, probably resulting from his alchemical pursuits. Mercury poisoning could explain Newton's eccentricity in late life.

2025-06-02 12:31:35 UTC

In his Hypothesis of Light of 1675, Newton posited the existence of the ether to transmit forces between particles. The contact with the Cambridge Platonist philosopher Henry More revived his interest in alchemy.[91] He replaced the ether with occult forces based on Hermetic ideas of attraction and repulsion between particles. His contributions to #science cannot be isolated from his interest in #alchemy.[91] This was at a time when there was no clear distinction between alchemy and science.

2025-06-02 12:30:04 UTC

Newton's analysis and resynthesis of white light owes a debt to corpuscular alchemy.

2025-06-02 12:19:23 UTC

Early alchemists thought mercury has role in #alchemical process. Alchemy can be thought as a physical synthesis of gold as well as concept in mysticism.
The interesting part here is that philosophers living in 1500 BCE already understood link between mercury and gold.
Gold was first synthesized by neutral bombardment of mercury in 1924.

2025-06-02 12:13:59 UTC

Early alchemists believed that the metal mercury shared essential qualities with the planet Mercury.

2025-06-02 12:11:22 UTC

In ancient and medieval times, the concept of mercury encompassed both the planet Mercury and the metal mercury (also known as quicksilver). Early alchemists believed in a correspondence between the macrocosm (the universe) and the microcosm (the earth and human beings), a principle often referred to as the "Doctrine of Signatures" or "As above, so below."
- Mercury (planet), the closest planet to the Sun
- Mercury (element), a chemical element
- Mercury (mythology), a Roman deity
synthesis of gold in modern science (physical alchemy):
neuron bombardment of mercury (element)

2025-06-02 11:59:00 UTC

The possible production of gold from a more common element, such as lead, has long been a subject of human inquiry, and the ancient and medieval discipline of alchemy often focused on it; however, the transmutation of the chemical elements did not become possible until the understanding of nuclear physics in the 20th century. The first synthesis of gold was conducted by Japanese physicist Hantaro Nagaoka, who synthesized gold from mercury in 1924 by neutron bombardment.[31] An American team, working without knowledge of Nagaoka's prior study, conducted the same experiment in 1941, achieving the same result and showing that the isotopes of gold produced by it were all radioactive.[32] In 1980, Glenn Seaborg transmuted several thousand atoms of bismuth into gold at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.[33][34] Gold can be manufactured in a nuclear reactor, but doing so is highly impractical and would cost far more than the value of the gold that is produced.

The mass of mercury needed to produce a given mass of gold is roughly the same as the mass of gold produced.
So, for every kilogram of gold generated, you would need approximately 1 kilogram of mercury.

2025-06-02 11:39:45 UTC

Price of mercury 209 usd / kg
Price of gold 107933 usd / kg

2025-06-02 11:38:26 UTC

In a nuclear reactor, mercury (Hg) can be bombarded with neutrons to produce gold through a process called neutron activation.
