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.

Use virtual "perpetual motion machines" and seawater as energy sources.

   Use virtual "perpetual motion machines"  and seawater as energy sources.  The Archimedean screw can offer almost endless energy sources.  "Robert Fludd's 1618 "water screw" perpetual motion machine from a 1660 wood engraving. It is widely credited as the first attempt to describe such a device." (Wikipedia/Perpetual motion) The term "virtual perpetual motion machine" means a machine. That pulls water to the upper tank using a capillary tube. Then that water will fall through the generator or turbine wheel. The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a "perpetual motion machine", that is impossible because of laws of thermodynamics.  The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a " real perpetual motion machine", which is impossible because of the laws of thermodynamics.  The real perpetual motion machines don't use outside energy. And that's why they are not possible.

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies.

The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru

There might be an answer to why there is a gravitational hole in Earth's gravitational field.

The gravitational field at the point of the Indian Ocean is weaker than in other places on Earth. The existence of that gravitational hole is proved. But the reason why that gravitational hole is formed is unknown. The reason why the gravitational field on the Indian Ocean is weaker might be a simple thing.  There is a possible lighter rock in the mantle, or there is less material at that point. In some wildest theories, there are bubbles in magma that turn below the bottom of the Indian Ocean are less massive than in other places on Earth. The lighter material at that point should make the hole in gravitation.  "Geoid undulation in false color.
