Helium balloons and small space launch vehicles can be the ultimate combination.



The "environment-friendly" or "wallet-friendly" space tourism by using helium balloons is one of the most interesting things in space exploration. The cost of that fun would be about 50 000 USD. Space tourism is accelerating the industrial and scientific use of space because the technologies are made for space tourism are suitable for people who have no astronaut training. And space tourism is a good method to bring investors for the industrial use of space. 

The idea is that the passengers would travel to the edge of space by using helium balloons where is the pressurized cabin. That kind of system would cost less money than the rocket and the views from the high atmosphere are impressive. But the helium balloons can also rise small rockets and space shuttles to the high atmosphere before their rocket stages start to operate.

The miniature rockets and space shuttles like Pegasus rocket and Dream Chaser space plane can use in scientific missions. But those systems can also equip with small-size remote-control laboratories. In those miniaturized laboratories the operators can grow crystals. That is used in the resonance circuits of the radio transmitters. New chemical compounds that can be used in nanotechnology can produce in the microgravitational environment. 

But those small-size space systems can also interest the military and intelligence operators. The small-size rockets can carry miniaturized recon satellites to low-orbiter. And that kind of satellite can observe the WLAN networks on Earth. But they can also collect data from the communication between hostile recon satellites and earth stations.

Also, the miniaturized recon satellites can observe other satellites by using CCD and gamma-ray cameras. Those systems can uncover recon and sleeping satellite bombers like FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment System) which can use for surprise attacks. And satellite-based EMP bombs which purpose is to suppress the communication and combat support systems. Also, satellite-based EMP systems can use to destroy hostile military satellites in conflicts. 

The miniature satellites and space planes can also be used in combat missions. They might equip with rockets or DEW (Directed Energy Weapons). Those systems can destroy other satellites. 

And that thing is making them very capable. In the cases of conflicts. The killer satellites can destroy GPS, communication, and recon satellites. And that makes them an excellent tool for the military. The targets for killer satellites are the combat support systems that are used to control the combat drones and aim the GPS-guided weapons. The size of the killer satellite is not very big. And those systems are already in use or under development.

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,
