Space is important from the point of view of civil and military.

Image 1) Large-size air-launched rockets can also have an ASAT capacity.

Space is the last of frontiers. Even if there are rules up there, regular people cannot ever see satellites or they see only their cores. If, they have telescopes.

Spaceborne positioning is important for GPS-homing, smart munitions. And those munitions are the most effective actors on the battlefield. Also, satellites are the ultimate tools for reconnaissance missions. Military communication satellites are delivering orders to strategic missile submarines. That makes those satellites military targets.

And they can be like an eye that watches the ground. If military forces can destroy those communication satellites it can deny the SLBM submarines to get their launching codes. Destroying the positioning satellites makes the GPS ammunition ineffective.

They fly high above Earth. So regular anti-aircraft systems cannot threaten satellites.

The ground-based ASAT-capable missiles are very large tools. And they are "easy to destroy" if the weapon system can lock to those targets. The ASAT missiles also install in naval vessels.

Submarine-based ASAT weapons can destroy things like positioning satellites. Many of those land- or sea-based missiles are modified SLBM- or ICBM weapons. But larger rockets like Delta IV and its variants can rise the ASAT weapons to orbital trajectory.

But ASAT weapons can also install on aircraft. The system that bases F-15 and quite a small missile is interesting. The coordinates upload to the weapon itself. It's connected to the autopilot. Then the ASAT will drive the fighter to the right position and releases itself. And the pilot can fly the aircraft home.

And one mission of the miniature shuttles like X-37B might work as an ASAT weapon. The air-launched ASAT systems are easy to transport to the way of the targeted satellite's trajectory. Things like the Pegasus rocket can modify into an ASAT missile. And the killer satellite can wait at the orbital trajectory. The small-size satellites can use kinetic energy penetrators.

Or they can impact their targets like the NASAs Dart probe made to an asteroid. Also, the positioning and recon satellites can equip with counter-strike systems. Those systems can look like the Israeli "Trophy" system. The counter-strike system itself can be a machine gun that uses "Gyrojet" ammunition.

Gyrojet is a small rocket. And if that system uses a similar ignition system with the metal storm it denies recoil. In that kind of space machine gun, the back of the weapon is open. And that eliminates the recoil that causes problems for satellites. Maybe Gyrojet was not successful in the Vietnam jungle but the same concept can use in space weapons.

The idea is that satellites can destroy incoming missiles by using that weapon. But these kinds of systems are also effective against other satellites.

And the thing is this: weapon race will go to space. GPS satellites, along with spaceborne recon and communication systems, play vital roles in conflicts. So those satellites are a very good target for anti-satellite 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,
