The 3D printing systems can revolutionize hypersonic flight.



Artist's drawing of "The Hermeus", the first commercial prototype of hypersonic aircraft. 


3D printed catalysts are the new materials for hypersonic flight. The catalysts are a mixture of metal and synthetic minerals. But if the printing temperature is high enough that kind of system can mix the carbon fiber, metal, and quartz chrystals. That kind of material can have new abilities for new space and aviation technology. 

The 3D printing systems make it possible to create new forms for the body of hypersonic systems. The cell-type structure between the outer surface and the core of the aircraft is making the hypersonic flight more secure. 

The friction will heat the aircraft core to an extremely high temperature. And the cell-looking structure where is a vacuum layer in the cells minimizes the heat transfer to the inner core. If the hypersonic aircraft can jump to ballistic or low Earth-orbiting trajectory the 3D printer systems can also fix the damages of the aircraft's body or heat shield.

The 3D printers are more flexible systems than traditional spare parts because 3D printers can create any possible mechanical spare part. When the 3D printer system is making things like ventilators. The printing system can make every part of the ventilator separately. The system requires only the assembly orders and measures. Then the 3D printer makes those parts separately. And then robots will assemble them. The system can also have lasers that search for errors.

And also lasers are used to finish the part and remove errors in the structures. In some visions, the hypersonic aircraft can equip with holes. Where some kind of cold liquid can pull outside if the core of the aircraft is overheating. When manipulators are installed in the aircraft's core. And they are equipped with a 3D carbon fiber or metal printer. 

That allows fixing the damaged core during the flight inside the atmosphere. But if the aircraft can rise the outside of the atmosphere is possible to use a long manipulator for fixing holes. That kind of system can be mounted in the Mars craft. That system can fix the damages during space flight to Mars and back.

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,
