Nanotechnology is one of the most powerful technologies in satellites.

In the future, nanotechnology can be a dominating tool. For military and civil space programs. When we think about the recon satellites the biggest threat to them in the future is the low-orbiter anti-satellite system. Those systems can be missiles. Or they can be direct energy weapons like high-power airborne laser systems. 

The future systems might not be similar to what they are today. The nanotechnical systems would be the large group of smaller satellites that operate as an entirety. 


The next-generation tool for civil and military space technology. Could be scanning optical telescopes. 


Nanotechnology makes it possible to create satellites and other things that were impossible before. The telescopes that are more powerful than James Webb can use nanotechnology. The idea in those telescopes is that they are forming a linear telescope group. That telescope group is tied together in the wire. That wire is connected to the axle in the middle of the satellite. In those telescopes could be extremely long rotating wires that can rotate around.

The scanning optical (Multi-mission) telescope

1) Optical telescope

2) Satellite and axle. There are communication systems in that part. 

Arrow= The rotational direction. 


In diagram 1 you might see the principle of that system. In the point of view of recon operations, we could say that those satellites could be the "Optically enhanced Rhyolites". Rhyolite satellites are the geostationary ELINT satellites. Those new satellites could have optical telescope sensors and active radar. 

The idea of the geostationary multi-mission recon satellites is that those systems can cover the same areas by using multiple sensors. When some important things are visible. Those satellites turn their telescopes to that point simply turning the mirror. And the same time the system can turn to use radar and passive ELINT sensors. 

So there is a large number of small telescopes. Connected to one satellite which is rotating them like a whip. That kind of satellite can have an extremely sharp system. And the size of the satellite can be very small. When that large telescope is needed the satellite can release those telescope groups. And when that large telescope is not needed the optical antenna can pull back in. 

Large-size telescopes can be extremely good tools for astronomical systems and civil and military recon satellites. The fact is that the large telescope that is farther than the moon can make many recon missions. The large size recon telescopes can be far away from the range of the low altitude ASAT systems.

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,
