3D printers and drones can be game changers in next-generation civil and military missions.

"The new drone is allegedly similar to the Chinese MD-22 hypersonic drone". (Interesting Engineering)

The Chinese hypersonic drone challenges and maybe beats the F-22 in aerodynamic constructions. That kind of drone can be extremely dangerous for all targets. The hypersonic drone that hits a target using hypersonic speed releases lots of impact energy to the target. And even if that system is a recon drone, the impact with speeds between Mach 7-10 with ships releases lots of energy.

The A-10 Thunderbolt destroys a tank with a single 30 mm. uranium ammunition that speed is Mach 1,5. If the tank is not protected, with reactive armor. Reactive armor protects tanks against single ammunition. The rate of fire of 30 mm. GAU-8 Avenger cannon is 3000 rounds per minute. That means the cannon stripes reactive armor away.

The Houthi rebels use drones as well as Ukraine. The underwater and surface traveling drones have shown their abilities in Ukraine. And the Houthi rebels at the Red Sea following that thing interesting. Those rebels used drones to attack ships. And that thing shows that also rebels and guerillas are interested in drones.

The Ukrainian military shows how vulnerable factories, fuel supply systems, and electric wires are in Western countries. The next step is that organized crime starts to use drones against their enemies. Drones can also protect areas like government installations, but they can also used to protect drug laboratories. Mafia with other crime gangs can use drones to attack their enemies.

The startup develops container-size 3D manufacturing printer platforms in Ukraine. And that thing tells about the integration between drones and their manufacturing systems. A long time ago, I wrote about drones that 3D printers can manufacture near the battlefield.

And that kind of system can increase the production of small-size kamikaze drones. The 3D printer systems are the next tool for the military. Those systems can produce spare parts for aircraft and even tanks. They also can produce things like rockets and ammunition near combat areas. That thing can be the new step in robotics, drones, and AI-based warfare.

The new loyal wingmen drones can act as remote-controlled or autonomous recon units, that can search enemy radars, and then send that data to unmanned fighters. Then those drones can also act as attack systems that operate like supersonic "Predator" drones. Those systems can attack against threats by using bombs and missiles.

Or they can make kamikaze attacks against enemy installations. Those drones can also pick up enemy missile fire to them. Which helps the mission of the manned fighters. Those drones might predict new types of cruise missiles that can return to base if they are not needed.

NASA works with autonomous lunar rovers. Those rovers are lightweight. And they can travel to the dark side of the moon. And then return to the side, that is visible to Earth, transmitting their data to ground control.

Similar surface-operating drone cars can used in undersea civil and military missions. They can search for poisons and things like mines from the beaches. Those rovers can slip over the enemy line and then transmit information to surveillance platforms. The military rover can equipped with antitank missiles or some other weapons, and they can use those weapons against any target that they see.

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,
