The other ways to make a lightweight nuclear reactor is to use radioactive gas as the fissile material.

The is the successor of the writing about Element 115, and the thing is that the new types of lightweight nuclear reactors might use another kind of nuclear isotopes than the traditional versions. I don't know how many kinetic tests have been made by using nuclear reactors, what are using radioactive gas as the fission material, but this kind of solutions might be interesting.

Also, synthetic elements like Einsteinium and Californium might be planned to use as the fuel of the nuclear reactors. In most modern nuclear reactors the bite of the really highly radioactive material would be kept in the move in the cyclotron, that the heat of that material would not warm the only one place, and that will be hoped to deny the reactor melting.

Also, radioactive gasses are an interesting choice for nuclear fuel material. But the problem is, that nobody has experience of the use of gas as the fissile material and controlling those reactors would be extremely difficult, what keeps them in theoretical level

The control of those new type of nuclear reactors, which uses radioactive gas as the fuel would happen by using the carbon atoms or fullerene. Those extremely small parts of carbon would, in theory, work by a similar way with normal carbon sticks inside the nuclear reactor. The idea is that the normal carbon filter would remove the carbon from the gas,  or the carbon ions can be separated from the radioactive ions by using magnetic separator.

In this case, the magnet, what has opposite polarity with carbon ions can pull them out from the track, and decreasing the level of carbon in the tube would increase the power of the reactor. The magnetic system would be easier to work because carbon can return to the reactor easily when the operator wants to decrease the power of the reactor, and if the carbon would not cost, that allows to adjust the power of the reactor freely. The idea is that the radioactive gas has also opposite polarity with the carbon and that would make easy to separate those things.

The magnets will hover those extremely hot and radioactive isotopes. The system might use powdered radioactive metal, but also the radioactive gas like Astatine, Radon,  Livermorium (Element 116) and Oganesson (Element 118) what is supposed to be a highly radioactive noble gas is planned to use as nuclear fuel. Ionizing those radioactive elements would happen by using electromagnetic radiation. The idea of use that kind of systems is that the magnetic accelerator would accelerate those radioactive gases or their ions to the near the speed of light. 

Then the time on the surfaces of those atoms will be stopped, and that makes possible to use those short-living radioactive elements like the fuel in the theoretical nuclear reactors, what seems like torus or donuts. The gas-form radioactive elements are an interesting thing when we are thinking the new versions of the lightweight nuclear reactors, what are in the theoretical level in this day.

When robots are laughing and crying.

When robots are laughing and crying.  Does the AI have feelings?  Does the AI have feelings? Or can it be emphatic? The fact is this program code that controls the AI determines if it can give empathic reactions. The problem with the human nervous system is that we don't make a difference in the writing of empathic letters or telling empathic stories human or AI. Our nervous system is not adapted to AI yet. And that's why we cannot separate text written by AI from text that made by humans.  What does somebody make with AI that can emulate feelings? The fact is that the cyborgs are useful tools for infiltration operations. The human-size robots can have WLAN/6G connections with the central computers. Or they can form a neural network that shares information between all group members. The robots can also act as walking neural network-based supercomputers. That can make complicated solutions.  In those networks, each member shares information and their data-handling capacity all o

Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization

    Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization The Earth 2.0 or officially Kepler-452b is locating extreme log distance from Earth(1).    A new Earth-type planet has been found near the star, which is similar to our own Sun. The journey to that planet would take 1400 years, even if the spacecraft will reach the speed of the light. The planet has been found in the year 2008, but the confirmation of the existence of that planet has been taken time, but in 2015 the confirmation has been got, and Earth 2.0 has turned true.  The mass of that planet is 1,9 times Earth and the temperature is excellent if we are thinking about liquid water, but the journey to that planet will take so long, that we cannot ever go in there by using regular rockets and technology. The thing is that this kind of planets are the most interesting if we are looking for the lifeforms, which are similar to us, and the problem with that kind of things is that the communicatio

Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission

  Image I Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission 1) Tunguska UFO-theory  Tunguska meteorite is the mystery, that has been solved once, but then the case has been open again because Lake Cheko was not suitable for an impact crater. That lake has been introducing as an impact crater of the Tunguska meteorite. But the problem is that the shape of that lake is like a swimming pool. And that means it cannot form by a meteorite. So the mystery remains.  Meteorites can launch the natural nuclear fission if they hit the uranium ore, and transfer the impact energy to that ore. And is the thing that the famous "Tunguska" meteorite caused that kind of effect? There is also a theory that some "UFO" explode in that area, but the thing is that it is only theory, but interesting topics for some TV-series.  So I will begin this text by handling that theory, which is one of the incredible and outstanding theories in the world. Officially there is no physical evidence of
