Modern nano drones can use ion engines for maneuvers.




The miniaturized magnetohydrodynamic drive can be an excellent propulsion system for nano drones. 


What is the similarity between the fictional Cylon raider and the nano drone? The fictional Cylon raider has given inspiration for the ion engines that can use in the nano drones.

That thing is that both of those systems can use ion engines. Or sharper saying the water moving drone can use MHD (Magnetic Hydrodynamic Drive) for operating in liquid. All ion engines operate the same way. The propellant will ionize at the front of the magnetic accelerator. And then those ions will travel through that accelerator. 

The thing is that the tracks at the wings of the fictional Cylon raider could be the ion engines that can use in underwater conditions. The system can pull water ions through those channels and then that thing makes those systems operate. 

As I just wrote the small size of the nano drones is a problem for the engineers. It's hard to make moving parts for tiny machines that are smaller than blood cells. One of the solutions that can solve the problem with miniature propulsion is the small-size gauss accelerator or gauss track. The gauss-accelerator or gauss gun can turn to the MHD system very easily. The requirement is that the ions will travel through that track. 

The system will pull ions at the front of the track and drive them backward. That system would be the miniaturized version of the MHD system (Magneto-Hydrodynamic Drive) where magnets are pulling water from the front of the magnetic accelerator. And then the system will just transport those ions backward.

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,
