New winds of hypersonic flight.

The purpose of test planes is to bring data for larger-scale systems. Data collected from hypersonic systems like miniature missiles, and test planes can research and develop for bigger. And more capable multi-use super- and hypersonic aircraft. Whenever some manned or unmanned aircraft goes to hypersonic areas the test unit brings information from that extreme area beyond the supersonic world.

The Lockheed-Martin SR-72 hypersonic testbed brings vital information from the hypersonic world. Along with DARPA's hypersonic, scramjet-driven missile test unit. Those remote- or AI-controlled systems can make test flights safely. And that means there are more risks that those units can take.

That is vital for the larger-size hypersonic aircraft. The large-size hypersonic aircraft can carry satellites to low earth orbiters. And they can also carry cargo and passengers all around the world very fast.

From the military perspective, hypersonic aircraft can operate in many roles. The high-speed bombers and attack aircraft are of course things that are in the mind of military personnel.

That means the next-generation troop transporters can use hypersonic flight when they transport paratroops on long-distance flights. Then those aircraft can slow. And the paratroopers can jump out of the cabin.

Hypersonic systems can flight long-distance flights by using hypersonic speed. And then they can slow their speed for delivering their cargo or make some other missions. Rumors tell that USAF already has hypersonic (Mach 6+) recon and maybe nuclear strike capable aircraft at least at the R&D stage.

In some scenarios, the scramjet engines can install to a regular 6th. generation jet aircraft. Like auxiliary rockets installed in the space shuttle. When those engines are not needed anymore they can drop away. That concept means that the jet plane can fly to the operational area very fast, but then there that thing acts like a regular jet plane.

But when we are talking about the internally fixed installed scramjet and ramjet engines. They will bring more capacity to all aircraft. And the most fascinating version of hypersonic aircraft is the space shuttles that accelerate at the Earth's atmosphere to a speed of Mach 12. And then they will jump out from the atmosphere. After that jump, they can turn to use rocket engines.

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,
