Boeing-Nammo successfully tested ramjet-powered ammunition.

The ramjet-driven missiles are already in use. But the small-caliber 155 mm. ramjet-driven ammunition is a tool that can be very exciting and revolutionizing. The ramjet-driven ammunition could also create for 120 mm. caliber.

The ramjet-driven ammunition can give Leopard-2 tank extremely high force. And that allows that Leopard can destroy enemy tanks longer range than ever before. There is the possibility that nanotechnology can make it possible to create the ramjet-driven bullet for the 50-caliber Barrett sniper rifle. The ramjet-driven smart bullets can be the ultimate tools for the infantrymen.

The term smart bullet means a small-size missile that will shoot at a target by using a regular rifle. Those missiles can aim at their target by using the laser system that points the target to the bullet. But technology is advancing. And the next-generation systems can use a similar fire- and forget system that makes Javelin so deadly. And nanotechnology can make it possible that this intelligent bullet can be equipped with a miniaturized ramjet.

*******************************************************************

Nanotechnology makes it possible that even 50 caliber bullet can have an intelligent homing system and ramjet booster.

DARPA developed smart fire- and forget sniper bullets in their EXACTO program. And that kind of system might be more deadly than ever before.

The idea is that this type of bullet uses a similar homing system to Javelin. The system takes an image of the target. And then that image will download to the cartridge that will fly to the target.

The small-caliber ramjet systems can use the RDE (Rotating Detonation Engine) or its miniature version.

Regular extended-range ammunition use rocket boosters. But the solid-fuel air-breathing ramjets are giving extended range to those systems.

Air-breathing-solid fuel super- or hypersonic ammunition is the next-generation tool for artillery. The range of the cannons is increasing and those smart ammunition can use GPS or some other methodology for attacking long-distance targets with pinpoint accuracy.

The next advance for that ramjet-powered ammunition could be hypersonic scramjet-powered ammunition that can use to destroy battlefield missiles and other targets with pinpoint accuracy. But the ramjet-driven ammunition is a great advance.

The idea of ramjet-powered ammunition is not new. In 1915 Hungarian inventor Albert Fonó introduced an idea about the ramjet-driven ammunition that can extend the artillery's range. But at that time the Ramjet-driven ammunition was hard to make because no fuel.

That can make this ammunition operate. So Albert Fonó thought that he could use regular gunpowder. Also for fuel of that kind of ramjet-powered ammunition.

But the next-generation solid fuels along with the things like rifled combustion chambers are making it possible. The system uses the RDE engine for getting speed. That the air-breathing ramjet- or scramjet-driven ammunition is possible the next advance in the ammunition of those kinds of systems.

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,
