 MQ-9 Reaper is getting its successor

The defense companies and military forces are researching the best successor for the MQ-9 Reaper-piston engine drone, which is the most used and deadliest of so-called killer-drones. The next-generation drones are more sophisticated, more surviving, and deadly than ever before, and the stealth-kamikaze drones are ready to take the place as the next generation cruise missiles. 

The X-49 "Sentinel"-type drones can be equipped with nuclear warheads, and they can be used as the cruise missiles, which can return to the base if those systems are not used. The nuclear bomb can be dropped to the target by using drones or the drone can operate as the missile in that kind of strikes. 

The thing is that the MQ-9 is extremely brutal, but sadly its a very effective system, which has many types of missions. MQ-9 can be used against ground and air targets, but the successor of that drone is capable of full-scale air combat. And the case, where artificial intelligence is winning the human pilots is making the development of that kind of drones more supported than ever before. 

The thing that is needed is an effect, and war is murder anyway. So people who are working with killer-drones are thinking that those drones are only the missiles, which can destroy multiple targets. And killer-drones that have air combat capacity are only the enhanced cruise missiles. 

The robot warriors don't need training at all. The thing that the operators must make is just activating the attack module of those robots. Even if robots are made for some other duties, only chancing the programs is needed to make them the ultimate soldiers. The problem is that robots can have a thing called "ghost protocol". When a robot notices something like a gun, it can activate its combat module. The thing is that the face recognition software recognizes the targeted person that thing activates the termination module. 

And if that module is connected to things like robot cars, that could cause that robot car attacks that person. That thing is bringing terrible thoughts in the mind of some people. What if some criminal puts that kind of program to the control system of the computer-controlled cars? Could that thing introduce as the "error in system", when a robot car smashes some witnesses of the criminal activities out from the streets?  

When we are talking about things like prohibiting those weapons, we must remember that any military force is not discarding its biggest gun. The killer-drones and robot weapons are under development in the many other states than in the USA. The other countries are at least China, Russia, and some NATO countries. And the thing, what makes robot weapons addictive is that those weapons are always loyal to their commanders. 

And that thing is one of the biggest threats in those weapons. They don't know who is giving orders. They just know that the operator has the right key. So that means that the unauthorized use of those drones and robot warriors is possible.

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
