The USAF hypersonic missile test was successful.

The B-52 "Stratofortress" carries AGM-183 hypersonic missile during tests.

The USAF tested AGM-183 ARRW ("Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon") hypersonic missile. And this time test was successful. The ARRW is meant to use against fixed targets like bunkers and runways. The speed of this weapon is about Mach 5+ and the difference between ARRW and the Russian "Kinzhal" hypersonic missile is that AGM-183 doesn't need a supersonic carrier. To reach the hypersonic speed.

The limit of the "Kinzhal" missile is that its carrier plane is a MiG-31. And that aircraft can carry only one of that missiles. The drop airplane for AGM-183 is always been a B-52 Stratofortress. And that means the global strike force can use that missile on any platform that it has. So it can be the ultimate weapon for the B-52 "Stratofortress", B-1 "Lancer", B-2 "Spirit", and the new B-21 "Raider". There is the possibility that AGM-183 can also be installed in the ballistic missile. That allows ballistic missiles to make the ballistic jump outside the atmosphere.

Then that missile releases the hypersonic missile that can fly by using a low trajectory to the target. It is suspicious that the AGM-183 and its successors planned to use along with the new top secret hypersonic aircraft that are basing the SR-72 test plane. The fact is that hypersonic weapons are shown their capacity. And the development of those systems continues. That thing means that the next-generation hypersonic missiles can destroy also naval targets like moving warships.

The fact is the hypersonic missile is an ultimate weapon. If that weapon flies over the target area at a low altitude with a speed that is much higher than the speed of sound the pressure wave that follows the weapon is devastating. The hypersonic missile can carry conventional or nuclear warheads. But it can also use kinetic energy for destroying the target. The last option would be useful in surgical strikes against small-size targets.

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,
