Why James Smithson gave his money to the United States by testament?

When chemist and mineralogist James Smithson (1765-1829)  died in Genoa 1829 this man left all his property to the United States of America, and that's why there is a Smithsonian Institute in that country. That famous institute is behind many scientific theories and practical solutions. But the question is, why this man gave all his money to the United States is quite remarkable, thing, but the gift was accepted until 1835, and the institute was established in 1849.


Smithson ever visited in the United States and the reason why this man gave the money to the United States was that the first man, who suppose to take the property died nine years before Smithson, and that's why the money went to the United States. The reason, why Congress didn't accept the testament is claimed to be, that the relationship between Great Britain and the United States were tight, and that's why that money was not able to take until 1835.


Sometimes there were claiming, that somebody murdered beneficiary of the testament, and that's why money went to the USA. And the reason for that testament is claimed, that Smithson didn't accept Great Britain's social conservatism, and that was the reason for giving that money to the United States. But there might be another reason for that. Maybe Smithson took some money from the independence fighters and loaded them for those people before America started to fight for its independence.


Sometimes I have thought that if Smithson used his own name in that case, and changed money for independence fighters for buying the equipment to the independence fight, would that money hard to explain.  And if Smithson would return the money, what left over after those purchases, would that man be in terrible trouble. So the Senate wait until Smithson was dead, and then allowed the return of that money. Maybe they except, that some persons, who would be suffered by those actions, were dead, and that was covered the secrets of the revolution.

Quantum breakthrough: stable quantum entanglement at room temperature.

"Researchers have achieved quantum coherence at room temperature by embedding a light-absorbing chromophore within a metal-organic framework. This breakthrough, facilitating the maintenance of a quantum system’s state without external interference, marks a significant advancement for quantum computing and sensing technologies". (ScitechDaily, Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Stable Qubits at Room Temperature) Japanese researchers created stable quantum entanglement at room temperature. The system used a light-absorbing chromophore along with a metal-organic framework. This thing is a great breakthrough in quantum technology. The room-temperature quantum computers are the new things, that make the next revolution in quantum computing. This technology may come to markets sooner than we even think. The quantum computer is the tool, that requires advanced operating- and support systems.  When the support system sees that the quantum entanglement starts to reach energy stability. I

The anomalies in gravity might cause dark energy.

"Physicists at UC Berkeley immobilized small clusters of cesium atoms (pink blobs) in a vertical vacuum chamber, then split each atom into a quantum state in which half of the atom was closer to a tungsten weight (shiny cylinder) than the other half (split spheres below the tungsten). (ScitechDaily, Beyond Gravity: UC Berkeley’s Quantum Leap in Dark Energy Research) By measuring the phase difference between the two halves of the atomic wave function, they were able to calculate the difference in the gravitational attraction between the two parts of the atom, which matched what is expected from Newtonian gravity.

The idea is that the particles and their quantum fields are whisk-looking structures. Those structures form the superstrings that are extremely thi

Neon and time crystals can be the new tools for quantum computing.

"New research investigates the electron-on-solid-neon qubit, revealing that small bumps on solid neon surfaces create stable quantum states, enabling precise manipulation. This research, supported by multiple foundations, emphasizes the importance of optimizing qubit fabrication, moving us closer to practical quantum computing solutions." (ScitechDaily, Quantum Riddle Solved? How Solid Neon Qubits Could Change Computing Forever) Researchers created a superposition in solid neon. And those neon ions, where the system creates superposition in their surfaces.  Making it possible to manipulate those atoms. The atom-based qubit has one problem. Orbiting electrons cause turbulence in their quantum fields. The thing that can solve the problem is to use the quantum fields for the superposition.  If the system can position electrons at a certain point, it can make a small hill to the atom's surface. And the system can use that thing for making quantum superposition between the mos
