NASA OSIRIS REx mission reveals Asteroid Bennu's sub-surface.

The "Osiris REx" mission will take the Osiris probe closer to asteroid Bennu than ever before. The spacecraft's mission is to research the sub-surface of asteroid Bennu and take samples of that 500 meters long asteroid to Earth. These kinds of missions are interesting. And they can also help to find out how our planetary system and even life has been born on Earth. There is a possibility that the origin of life is stored in some asteroids.

The asteroids are very interesting targets also for R&D work that helps to develop spacecraft and probes. The probe that can operate very far away from Earth must find the right asteroid by using an image-scanner. That is connected with a plasma spectrometer. The laser system vaporizes a small mass of the material of the asteroid. And the plasma spectrometer will just measure the fingerprint of the asteroid by comparing the relations of elements.

This thing is important if the probe must find the same asteroid twice. The probe must fly very close to an asteroid for taking the sample. The collimation with an asteroid can cause damage. When the probe hunts the right asteroid it must use the ion rockets for making quite complicated maneuvers.

And that's why the asteroid probes are serving the R&D process of the AI and ion engines. Those systems are necessary when the next-generation probes and rovers will send to icy moons of the outer planets. The asteroid probes can also serve the R&D work of killer satellites and the counter-actions against the satellite killers.

The ion engine can help the satellite escape from the route of the ASAT (Anti Satellite) system. But the same system can also shoot ion spray against incoming kinetic-energy satellite killer. The most important tool for killer satellites is how to recognize the right target. And that kind of satellite must make multiple maneuvers. So the necessary technology can test in asteroid belts.

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,
