The new type of helicopters are not new ideas

The problem with the helicopters is that they are not very fast, in the comparison between aircraft, and the second thing is that sometimes helicopters are so noisy. When the SWAT-team would land on the roof of the building, they normally want the operate silent, or that's what normal people think because that allows them to make surprise attack to space, where the target is.


If the helicopter would be hit by weapons, it should land safely, and that's why there should be used the autorotation if there would be problems with engines. Autorotation is the thing, what is used in the "Autogyros", and it means that the rotor of the helicopter would let rotate freely, what would be slow the dropping speed. The same system, what makes helicopters safe in the landing situation, makes it silent. The idea of the Autogyro is not new. In the medieval time were created the toys, what were landed slow, when they were thrown in the air.

Those rotor-toys gave an idea to Juan de Gierva to make the worlds first Autogyro. In the movie "007 and the Moonraker" James Bond used Autogyro against bad guys helicopters, and in some rumors,  the CIA and MI-6 have those small Autogyros, what are equipped with "Stinger" missiles and lightweight anti-tank weapons like Bofors RBS-56 "Bill". Also, light machine guns can be used in this thing, what could be effective against some drug baron. Those lightweight aerial vehicles can be also used in mercenary-operations around the world.

If the rotor of the helicopter would be equipped with the connector, what is used in cars, the pilot can turn the power off from the main rotor, and then the helicopter would land without noise. But when we are thinking about Autogyros, we can build them to look like the normal helicopter. When the Autogyro is going airborne, the power would be connected to the main rotor, and the system acts like the normal helicopter. And when the pilot wants to fly fast, the power would switch off the main rotor, when the helicopter would increase the speed.


But when we would want to make the helicopter, what can fly as fast as the airplane, we would face the problem, that the main rotor would not stand the speed. This is why there have been created the system, what is known as the "disc rotor". That system is actually the disc what increases like the pancake when the speed of rotor would increase, and when the speed of rotor would decrease, the size of the disc would decrease. This would give a chance to make faster helicopters or Autogyros than ever before.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology.  The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use.  When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

 Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.  Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave.  We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects.  If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center.  The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
