Is the independence of science treated?

Sometimes people are talking about the independence of science, and this thing is the complicated question. The problem of the universities is that they must get financial support from somewhere, and if they are free for the students, the money must get from somewhere. When financial supporter would make the decision about the money, that money makes the profit for the supporter. This means that the supporter expects to get something in return.

And this means the financial support from the companies, or otherwise, the studies in that institution are limited only for students, who have good relationships with the business world, and who have great salaries. But if the students would not have those relationships, they must get support from the government, and some professions like a lawyer and medical doctor are reserved for people, who have studied in the university.

And this means that politicians are giving money to those studies. In this case, there are millions of other things, where that money can spend. If the government gives money, that would want something, what is interesting for national interest. Or otherwise, the government would not give money for the university.

This means the universities must produce something, what is useful for the nation, and this is the most complicated thing in the world. If the argumentation for financial support is not good, the money would not be given. In this case, the financial support must get from the private sector, and in this case, the argumentation and profit must be actual. That's why the companies are willing to get the expertise from the universities for their projects, what are consisting the highest grade of the technology.

Will humans survive the sun's red giant stage?

"As the Sun matures into a Red Giant, the oceans will boil and Earth will become uninhabitable." (The Conversation, The sun won’t die for 5 billion years, so why do humans have only 1 billion years left on Earth?) Sooner or later, all stars use their hydrogen. And then they turn into red giants. Sun is a yellow G spectral class star that turns into a white dwarf. But before that, the sun will turn larger. The sun turns red and that means. It starts to send more infrared radiation. This thing will turn Earth into a hellish temperature that vaporizes water from Earth. It's possible. That Earth will also vaporize with Venus and Mercury. Some scientists say that we have only 1 billion years to move farther in the solar system. The habitable zone will go to the distance of Jupiter and Saturn, and maybe humans find a safe place in those distant moons. It's possible that before Sun will grow too large humans make large groups of mirror satellites or large shields that sho...

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. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field. An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. 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...

The new observations and observation tools are revolutionizing nanotechnology and the way of thinking in physics.

ScitechDaily.com "A new study has overturned a fundamental principle of physics by demonstrating that similarly charged particles can attract each other in a solution, with the effect varying between positive and negative charges depending on the solvent. This discovery has significant implications for various scientific processes, including self-assembly and crystallization". (ScitechDaily, Opposites Attract, Likes Repel? Scientists Overturn Fundamental Principle of Physics) The research reveals the importance of solvent structure at the interface in determining interparticle interactions, challenging long-held beliefs and indicating a need for a re-evaluation of our understanding of electromagnetic forces.

And same polar particle or object interaction revolutionized the knowledge of magnetism. They say. The sy...
