China develops a new submerging attack drone.




Flying submarine is coming to reality. Chinese military develops a new drone that can operate underwater and under airborne conditions. The system's weight is 7,8 tons. And it's developed with electro-optical systems, synthetic aperture radars, and antiship weapons. The wingspan of that unmanned drone is about 20 meters. 

The details of that system are: "The unmanned aircraft features a wingspan of 20.5 meters, has a maximum takeoff weight of 7.8 tons, and is capable of carrying a wide range of payloads, including electro-optic systems, synthetic aperture radar, early warning radars, electronic reconnaissance systems, air-to-ground missiles and bombs, anti-radiation missiles and loitering munitions."

The quadcopters and other drones that can operate underwater and airborne are not new. Those drones can slip into the closed area and search for interesting things. 

Recon drones can eavesdrop on buildings by using laser microphones. And film computer screens. But those drones can also be armed. They can use to destroy electronics or eliminate enemy commanders. 

Even a pizza-delivery drone can turn into a lightweight attack device very easily. The operators must replace pizza boxes with remote-operating rocket launchers. And that kind of system can offer deadly surprises. Maybe they are not so effective in the battle zone. But actors like drug cartels might use that kind of system. 

The fact is that drones are a great opportunity but they are also a big threat to security. The tinderbox-size drone can equip with small-caliber guns. And those kinds of extremely small drones are hard to detect. Operators can throw that drone from a high-flying cargo plane and that kind of system can pass the security of the targets very easily. Operators can control those drones over the internet. And they can be thousands of kilometers away from the operating zones.

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,
