NASA's X-57 "Maxwell" all-electric aircraft can be the pathfinder for next-generation aircraft.

The next-generation technology will turn the dream of a "one-hour world" possible also in physical form. The next-generation hypersonic VTOL systems can be more revolutionary than some SR-72 or some other systems alone.

If we think about modern technology, that thing makes it possible to create an aircraft with the capacity for hypersonic flight, low-speed flight, and vertical take-off and landing. That thing is quite easy to solve. There is needed only three series of engines.

Regular jet engines, ramjet- and scramjet engines can be used in stages. At first, the regular turbojet will accelerate the speed to Mach 1,5, where the ramjet can start. Then the ramjet will accelerate the aircraft to Mach 6-7, where the scramjet can begin its operation. And the VTOL system can use blowers that make the aircraft operate silently above the city.

The systems developed for "flying cars" can use for larger-scale aviation systems development.

The blowers used in some experimental "flying cars" can have two engine series for flying, in that case, the system uses blowers for lift-off and low-speed flight. And then it can turn to use micro-jet engines.

Blower-based low-noise systems are giving those "every man's" flying machines a top speed of 200 kilometers per hour. Those little systems' speed can easily increase by using two engine series to 600 kilometers per hour. The flying car will rise into the air by using the blower system and then turn to increase its speed by using miniature turbo jets.

The speed of blower-operating micro-aircraft will remain at about 200 kilometers per hour. But that kind of system can also equip with small jet engines used in cruise missiles. So, when the pilot wants to turn to a travel flight there is possible to change the engines. When the distance to the city area is high enough pilots can turn to use those turbo jets.

If the regular aircraft has this kind of blower system, it can lift off by using blowers. The aircraft can also cruise above the city by using blowers. And then outside the city area, it can start its jet engines.

So, there are tested things like pulling propellers for creating the airflow that speed is fast enough that ramjet engines can start their operation. Those systems are basing fast-rotating cavitation propellers that make a vacuum or cavitation bubble behind the ramjet engine. And those propellers can pull the airflow so fast that hydrogen starts to burn in the ramjet engine.

Another solution could be the plasma-jet engine. In those systems, the engine creates plasma by using an electric arc. And then magnets will drive that plasma behind the engine.

The main problem with SR-71 was that aircraft couldn't operate at low speeds. The problem would be solved by connecting the regular jet engines to the SR-71-style aircraft that can operate at incredible speeds.

In air inlets of regular turbojets could be an iris that closes air flow to turbines when the aircraft's speed is too high. And if the aircraft would operate by using ramjet or scramjet systems the rapid air turbine could give electricity for the avionics of that aircraft.

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,
