The cold war and beyond (Threat of the orbital bombardment)


Titan II

The cold war and beyond (Threat of the orbital bombardment)

The Soviet Union and Russia are not the only nations that are researching the possibility to create the orbital nuclear weapons. The new weapons are created also outside the USA and China, and when we are talking about orbital bombardment systems, every single rocket in the world can operate in that mission. So that means that orbital bombardment systems can also mount in the Ariane or every other rocket in the world. 


The thing in the military systems is that they are not like what we might want them to be. The Titan II could be used as the FOBS(1) or(Fractional Orbital Bombardment System)-system. This rocket was also used to carry satellites to the orbiter, we must realize that it was very suitable for the FOBS carrier. FOBS is an excellent weapon, which allows one to strike every target in the minutes, and this is one version of the "Big Ammo". The satellite, where is nuclear weapon can explode outside the atmosphere, and that thing causes extremely high power EMP-impulse. 


People normally think that the FOBS is always the large-size atom bomb, which has megaton class power. Also, low-yield nuclear weapons line nuclear grenades can be used as the FOBS systems. FOBS is simply the nuclear weapon, what is installed in the orbital satellite, and those weapons are a very big threat to international security, and they might put somebody to think that nuclear warfare can win like some conventional warfare. 


Nuclear grenades like "Grable"(2) might seem very small, and innocent but the truth is that the warhead itself can be multi-purpose use. The plutonium inside the grenade can be exploded by impact energy when the bomb hits the ground after it is fallen through the atmosphere. Or the friction would launch those weapons. 


The difference between modern missiles and the 1960s missiles is that this kind of FOBS weapon can be equipped with the image-recognition and artificial intelligence-based tracking system. That means that the weapon could be extremely sharp, and we know that the development of those weapons is an addictive thing. And also conventional versions of this thing. 


The kinetic energy warheads were filled with concrete. The mission of those warheads was being the artificial meteorites. And the most well-known of those weapons was the "Project Thor" (3). But also normal grenade-profiles were planned to act in this role. The thing is that this kind of system is the top of icebergs. There is a possibility, that even more, lethal weapons are under construction. And one thing why the Russian new weapons are concerning is that western nations are not justifying those weapons.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
