Shield AI successfully coordinated three Lockheed-Martin 3V-BAT drones as a team.

 Shield AI successfully coordinated three Lockheed-Martin 3V-BAT drones as a team. 


This kind of experiment might not seem very impressive. The fact is this: the ability to control ultimate situations requires full cooperation between manned and unmanned systems in and over operational areas. The new systems require new tactics and countertactics. Drones have shown their capacities in the Ukraine war. 

And especially, cheap cardboard drones are the tool that requires new types of counteractions. Those drones are hard to detect, and they can be loaded onto vans or even garbage trucks. Then the patrol can slip to the strike distance from the airbase. 

Cardboard drones are cheap next-generation tools. They predict the next-generation military thinking. There are two routes in military systems. The first route is expensive manned systems. Those systems use quantum stealth and sophisticated systems.

They are flying with high supersonic or hypersonic speed if they are aircraft. The other routes are cheap and more limited drones whose mission is to search targets for those manned systems. Some drones have only one sensor like an IR camera and they can be used to find targets for ground attack aircraft. 

In future tactics, the ground attack aircraft wait for their target position behind their air defense. And then they strike at very high speed. Modern air defense causes situations in which ground attack aircraft cannot patrol near enemy lines as before. So the drones can search for targets for them. Same way drones can take off air defense missiles and pull missile fire against them. 

Commanders can use cheap and simple systems such as decoys. And one mission of those decoy drones is to protect the manned systems. Those decoy drones force the enemy to shoot them. And as attacks against power plants are shown none of those drones can let to fly to their targets. That can be used as mass swarms. They can fly above operational areas and send information to their commanders. And when their fuel ends, the drone can make a kamikaze attack against Target. Or make deep penetration strikes. The 3D printer systems can make those drones even from recycled materials. 

The AI can control those systems and it improves its survivability. The AI is a game changer in both offensive and defensive systems. The AI itself is cheap. The only thing that is needed is the program code. Then the system can download the AI to all systems. The AI can make even the cheapest drones effective and destructive weapons.

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,
