The evolution of Heinkel HE-III

I have got feedback that I have made mistake when I have chosen a picture for one of my texts. And the bomber of the picture would be Japanese Mitsubishi G4M "Betty"-bomber, but the picture is really Heinkel HE-III, what was in use of the "Pedro I" squadron of the  Condor Legion, and after the Spanish civil war the nose of that plane was planned and rebuild in the new form, and this form is one of the most iconic bombers in the WWII. Those changing in the shape of the aircraft claimed to made because of better aerodynamics, but there can be some other reasons for making that glass nose.

The glass structure was actually the mistake, and many times is asked the reason, why this bomber was remade for the new form? Was there something, what Nazis wanted to hide? Was something happens, what caused the reason for changing the form of the bomber? There are many questions about the actions of Hitler's Germany before the WWII, and one of the questions is, why those aircraft couldn't be planned or produced in a proper way?

There were many things, like bureaucracy and always changing models, what made brakes to produce the aircraft and other equipment. But advantages in allied equipment forced Germany to make aircraft and submarines what were very good on paper, but there were too few of them or they were unpractical in other ways.  Some of the new equipment like Type XXI submarines were grown in the size, what made impossible to fit them to shipyards, what was used for making Type VII submarines, and also new aircraft were not fit to the production lines.

The new tanks were too heavy for the lines and the afraid that the engineer who has made the mistakes were executed caused, that the errors in the modeling or production models were not told to the leaders of the war. And this was the reason, why Germans spent too much time with the rockets and other kinds of stuff, what was too advanced for producing even in peacetime was put in the production during the war. And they were not even tested before those things like some aircraft entered service.

Heinkel HE-III bomber was used on all fronts. That bomber used as the torpedo bomber against ships and there were questions, why the side engines would not equip with similar cannons, what used in the Bf-109 fighter, there were also planned to install rockets what were similar, that used in the British "Beaufighter" attack aircraft, Those rockets and cannons could give the low flying torpedo bomber extra firepower against the targeted ships. But then that thing ever installed to that bomber. This is one of the things, what is left as the questions of the Second World War.

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,
