A Swarm of tiny drones can search for life from distant worlds.



Tiny swimming drones can search for life in the oceans of the distant worlds like oceans on the icy moons of Jupiter. The system that delivers those drones into the ocean might look like a virus. The system can make a hole in the ice by using lasers. 

Or some other electromagnetic radiation. Then the system delivers those drones to the ocean. The drone swarm can use cloud-based network architecture for handling information. And they must operate very independently. 

And those drones can send information to the surface module. The surface module will transmit that data to Earth.  

But there must be an alternative system. That ensures that data can send to Earth. In the cases that the surface unit fails. There is the possibility that when the surface unit makes a hole in the ice. That system will fall through the ice core. 



"In the Sensing With Independent Micro-Swimmers (SWIM) concept, illustrated here, dozens of small robots would descend through the icy shell of a distant moon via a cryobot – depicted at left – to the ocean below.

The drone swarms at another planet are interesting things. But also places like the South Pole on the Earth are places where those swimming drone swarms are suitable for mapping the lifeforms. Swimming nano-drones can also measure pollution and other kinds of things. 

But the drone swarms are also suitable for searching and observing things like submarines. The AI-controlled swimming drone swarm can slip to submarine bases and can search for secretive information. 

Those microrobots can carry by using miniature- robot submarines that are looking like torpedoes. But if those drone swarms have a suitable power source those drones can also swim to their target independently. The carbon-fiber materials and nuclear batteries make it possible that the quadcopters can operate underwater and in airborne conditions. The carbon fiber materials are making it possible. That those drones can swim very deep. 

The new radioisotope technology is making it possible to make very small-size interchangeable radio thermal generators. Those systems are like normal batteries. But their energy source is in a radioactive breakup.

Those nuclear batteries can install in regular drones. And they are easy to handle. So they can offer operational time that lasts for years for even regular small-size quadcopters.

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,
