How David Hardy predicted, that two planets are orbiting Proxima Centauri?

The second planet orbiting Proxima Centauri (1)is now confirmed.

When we are looking at the painting above this text, we can say that maybe this scene is true. Maybe someday our descendants would stand on that beach and look at the Proxima Centauri(2). The thing is that two planets are orbiting the closest star of our solar system, and the journey to that system would take about 21 years if we can create the probe, which travels about 20 percent of the speed of the light.

The question is why this planetary system, what locates 4,244 light-years from Earth is not discovered earlier? There have been found exoplanets in bigger distances. The distance to the famous Gliese 581 system is 20,56 light-years. (3)

The confirmation of the second planet of Proxima Centauri has been got. And that is the time to celebrate that interesting thing, and when we are looking at the image above this writing, we are looking again at the David Hardy's painting about the surface of the planet of Proxima Centauri, what is painted a long time before those planets are found. That painting is from the 1970s and that means there could not be observations about those exoplanets.

In that time there was suspicious that there could be another planetary system because the "Barnard's star" (4)was traveling in the space with zig-zag movements. And that causes suspicious about the existence of Barnard B. The thing is that "Barnard's star" is a small red dwarf and the small mass of that star causes that the planets, what is about the Jupiter-sized can affect the movement of that star. Now we know, that the "Barnard's star" has a companion "super-earth", known as "Barnard's star B". (5)

The question is, how Hardy Could predict the existence of those planets, and how he imagined that two planets are orbiting that red dwarf? The interesting detail in that painting is that there are just two planets. But the thing is that the world is full of mysteries, and we are living in the Universe, where the solved mystery will create another mystery. And this makes science and astronomy so interesting.

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
