The U.S. Air Force tests supersonic drones. That can have a role with hypersonic weapons.

The new supersonic drones use a Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) to reach high speed. The RDE drones can fly at very high speeds. Those drones can carry the AGM-183 Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW). The high-speed drones can act as launching platforms for the hypersonic weapons.

AGM-183 ARRW

In that model, the AGM-183 ARRW can use the same model as the Russian Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic weapon. In the case of the Kinzhal missile, the MiG-31 fighter accelerates to its maximum speed. Then it launches the hypersonic weapon.

The Hypersonic Test Vehicle (HTV-2)

The fact is that the missile warhead can reach hypersonic speed when the missile returns to the atmosphere. The arrowhead-looking gliders that the missile carries into the atmosphere allow the missile to hit with different angles.

SR-72

The Air-launched ARRW missiles can also use a supersonic mach-3+ carrier that drops the weapon in its range. The carrier aircraft raises the missile's speed to a level that it can reach hypersonic speed. The fact is that the supersonic carrier can be the drone. Sometimes is planned that the SR-71 or A-12 "Oxcart"-style aircraft can carry hypersonic missiles in an internal weapon bay.

X-51 Waverider

The fact is that things like high-speed aircraft or missiles can carry hypersonic sub-weapons. In the case there the hypersonic missile is installed in a Minuteman missile or SR-72 hypersonic aircraft. The carrier vehicle rises out from the atmosphere, makes the ballistic jump, and then that thing will start to dive. The carrier vehicle releases the hypersonic missile against its target during that process. The hypersonic system can use traditional rocket engines.

Kh-47M2 Kinzhal

Or more advanced systems can use the scramjet engines for the hypersonic flight. The ARRW and Kinzhal are the first-generation hypersonic missiles. The next-generation hypersonic systems can be the Mach 6+ gunships. The speed of the ammunition that those future systems can launch could be Mach 7+. At that speed, the air-pressure cone is a deadly thing.

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,
