Typhoon-class SSBN (Ballistic missile submarine)

Typhoon-class SSBN (Ballistic missile submarine)

One thing about Typhoon class SSBN (Project 941 Akula) is that this is the largest submarine in the world. The name of the class of this submarine is "Akula". The NATO reporting name "Akula" means "Project 971 Shchuka-B"-class hunter-killer submarine Typhoon is not the most heavily armed submarine in the world if there are not the 50 megatons thermonuclear weapon in it.

Normally the Typhoon carries 20 SS-N-20 "Seahawk" ballistic nuclear missiles, and probably some other nuclear missiles and torpedoes, which can be launched from those submarines torpedo tubes. SS-N-20 "Seahawk" (R-39 Rif) was a special missile type, what was carried onboard on Typhoon. The reason why I wrote about the "other nuclear weapons" is that weapons like SS-N-15 "Starfish" missiles can shot from torpedo tubes.

Typhoon class SSBN has two nuclear reactors, which gives that submarine extremely long range. Two reactors also allow that the reactor fuel does not necessarily change when the submarine is taken in service, which makes it easier to cover the secrets of that boat. The big size of the Typhoon was remarkable, and some western specialists thought that the Typhoon was similar to the "Oscar" class cruise-missile submarine, which would have both SS-N-19 "Shipwreck" (R700) anti-ship cruise missiles and SS-N-20 "Seahawk" ballistic missiles. But Typhoon was "only" the ballistic missile submarine.

The construction of Typhoon is unique, the missile and torpedo tubes are in front of the command center, and the engines are below that place. This thing makes it possible to close the sections if there are problems with the crew. And also that design would allow keeping the machine men out from the missile and torpedo section, which makes it possible to share secrets of that missile submarine in the smallest possible parts.

The Typhoon was the largest submarine class in the world, but Ohio-class SSBN had more firepower if the number of ballistic missiles is calculated. Ohio is armed with 24 Trident missiles and torpedoes. There is also the possibility to carry Tomahawk cruise missiles onboard of Ohio, but that kind of weapon is used in lighter hunter-killer submarines. The thing is that nuclear submarines are causing discussions about the safety of nuclear weapons all the time. And there is a possibility that somebody might attempt to affect the crew of nuclear missile submarines by using infra-sound acoustic systems.

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
