Could computer someday predict future?

In Isaac Asimov's book, "the Foundation" is the fictional or hypothetical thing, known as "psychohistory" This thing s actually the way to predict the behave of billions of humans by using similar mathematical formulas, what are used to calculate the movements of the giant gas masses. The idea of psychohistory would be that those computers would collect all data, about what has been happened in history, and then use that data to predict the future. In those predictions is used similar software what is used in astronomy and meteorology for predict the large mass of gas.

Mathematical formulas, what is used in this action would be given the predictions with the large mass of humans. The reason for that is the single individual would have too many transformers, and that makes single persons or individuals very hard to predict. When we are thinking of clouds, we cannot predict the place of single waterdrop, but meteorological computer programs can predict quite well the place of the cloud. What bigger is the gas mass, the sharper is the result, what calculations would give about the prediction of the gas mass.

The idea is similar than in the rivers. We have hard to predict the place of the individual water molecule, but the prediction of the water line, what goes in the river is quite easy. Same way is easy to predict the route of water if the dam would collapse. When we are transferring this thing to sociology, we must think the ants. It's very hard to know, what single individual Ant would do next, but when we see the Ant group, what is looking for food for their group, we can predict quite good, how those bugs would act.

This is the idea of psychohistory. Individual human prediction is hard to predict, but the large groups of humans can predict quite easy because controlling large groups is very hard. When large groups of people would be released the stopping and controlling those groups is hard. But the predictions about their behavior or direction, where that group is going is very easy. And this thing has caused the thoughts, that there are plans to make that kind of experiments.

Here we must say, that this kind of systems would give sharper predictions for the long time period than the short period. Here we are talking about the thing, that the common prediction can be sharp, but then that thing disappears in the jungle of single cases. This thing is like a highway. We don't know every turn of the road, but we know where the road is going. This is the thing in that kind of attempt to predict the future. Using computers make possible to collect and handle multiple variables, and compile them with together.

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. Credit: Cristian Panda/UC Berkeley" (ScitechDaily, Beyond Gravity: UC Berkeley’s Quantum Leap in Dark Energy Research) Researchers at Berkeley University created a model that can explain the missing energy of the universe. The idea is that the particles and their quantum fields are whisk-looking structures. Those structures form the superstrings that are extremely thi...

When the most advanced tool becomes the enemy of advance.

Why... Above this text is the image that is not made by using AI. I took that image yesterday evening. That thing required a little bit of trouble and time. Walking into that point, taking my cell phone, and taking that picture took time. When I looked at that picture I realized why people use AI in many things. AI offers easy things to get the job done. That easy tool allows people to make thousands of lines of code in minutes.  That is possible if the person uses some code libraries. And that makes a person effective. But that thing is not good for advancement and innovation. Also, that way of making programs is not good for data security. If some hackers get those code libraries that allow them to break the systems those codes are used.  We know that thing. But we ever ask why person makes that thing? Why does that person use libraries and copy-paste? Why that person uses code, that somebody gave to the hard disk? The answer is this something forces a person to make things ...

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...
