The inflatable structures

How to find, if some company has something to do with restricted productions? This is the question when we are trying to think about the military equipment and government secrecy. One thing is simple to look about information about that company from Google, and then try to find out the connection of the products of that company to something, what is secret.

One very interesting company is the Bigelow Aerospace corporation, what we can find from Google. This company makes inflatable structures for spacecraft and one of its balloon modules have been in use at the International Space Station what is known as ISS. This thing makes us think, what kind of products this corporation makes. And the thing, what makes me think about the role of this corporation in the space program, and it's connections to other defense industry producers is that one balloon module would not make the company, what is operating with the international space station.

Then we must realize, that the corporation might have the ability to produce gas sections for very high flying airships. Those high flying airships are operating on the edge of space, and they can be manned or unmanned. Those systems can operate passively like ECHO-satellites operated in the early 1960s. But they can operate also with a very highly sophisticated electronic equipment as the civil and military communications and electronic intelligence missions.

But they can also take small space rockets to the outer atmosphere and shoot satellites to the orbiter, by using Pegasus or if those airships are bigger, they can deliver also Minotaur rockets. In fact, if those airships are the size of Hindenburg, they can be used to launch Delta rockets from airborne.

I have written about this thing many times before, but this kind of technology makes possible to create large structures, what can launch to space by using conventional rockets. Those very high flying airships have still one theoretical use. If those airships would be delivered to the orbiter by using rocket, and then it can be blown to the shape.

And that kind of thing makes possible to make extremely large structures like manned space stations to the orbiter and far away from Earth. If those light structures would cover with gold and water layer, what is between two-layer structure, will that make very good protection against radiation, that comes from the Sun. And the outer layer must be covered with carbon fiber plates and the entrance of the station goes thru the airlock, what allows to deny the lack of oxygen.

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,
