NASA's "Dart" mission and Pentagon's interest.

The "Dart" probe

NASA's "Dart" mission is the ultimate lab for AI. This mission's goal is to make a probe that can find the right asteroid independently and then shoot the penetrator against the selected asteroid by using an autonomously operating AI-based system. Similar technology can use against other satellites in military missions. NASA will test the "Dart" system very soon.

When the "Dart" probe tries to turn an asteroid's trajectory it needs very complex artificial intelligence for that duty. The probe must travel far away from the Earth independently. The signal travels to that spacecraft for so long time, that direct control of the probe is impossible.

The probe must travel to the right asteroid by following the coordinates stored in its computers. Then the "Dart" probe must recognize the right asteroid and shoot the penetrator against it. This is the thing that makes The "Dart" mission interesting.

Modern technology makes it possible that killer satellites can be dangerous for people on the ground.

The term "killer satellite" means a satellite that is equipped to destroy other satellites. Maybe, there are photo recon satellites that carry self-defense rockets. Or some other kind of weapon like machine guns. Those systems were planned to use against incoming anti-satellite weapons. But the same system can use against other satellites.

There is the possibility that some killer satellites are dangerous even to individual people. If we think that the Chinese kilometer-long space station would be the spaceborne laser that system can destroy the entire city.

When a laser weapon shoots a building. Heat expansion causes a similar effect to explosives. The detonation can destroy buildings and cause damage in large areas.

But that thing needs extremely high-power lasers. The laser ray must travel through the air that absorbs the radiation. And that's why people thought that killer satellites are harmless to people on the ground. Those laser weapons must be very large.

So there is thought that shooting those systems to orbiter is impossible. But modular structures where lasers are sent in pieces to the orbiter. And then those bites will dock together. That allows one to make lasers that can collect oneself automatically. That means the laser system can look like regular satellites. Before, they get orders to go together.

In the more conventional systems, the killer satellite can drop the killer drones through the atmosphere. Those drones can operate autonomously. Or controllers can operate them by using satellite communication.

The "Dart" mission can be the living lab for that technology, where NASA tested the independently operating systems.

Similar technology and programming codes can use also be in killer satellites. Those satellites are planned to use against other satellites and suspected space weapons. The thing is that space is an important place for the military, because of many systems. Including smart weapons require GPS or high-resolution cameras that are in the orbiter.

The photo recon satellite locates the targets. And for that purpose, the system uses a terrain contour matching system. The photo recon satellite has the 3D ma inside its memory. That system allows the satellite to locate its target and send that point to GPS. The GPS will send that data to GPS-guided weapons.

Also, things like communication satellites are playing a vital role in the modern battlefield. There is a possibility that the systems. That is similar to what "Dart" can use against those satellites whose mission is to support combat troops. The "Dart" system will shoot kinetic warheads against targeted satellites.

The problem with some o the communication satellites is that they are away from the kinetic energy ground and airborne anti-satellite or ASAT systems. Same way, larger optics are making it possible to rise the recon satellites to higher trajectories where they are safe from low-orbital ASAT systems. Those killer satellites require similar abilities, developed for the "Dart" mission.

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,
