The hunt for Planet 9 continues. 


What is the reason that astronomers cannot see hypothetical Planet 9?


What is the reason that astronomers cannot see hypothetical Planet 9? Why there are no observations about that mysterious object? That is the key question about the hunt for this mysterious object what nobody has seen yet. Is Planet 9 the rogue planet, what the Sun has captured, and the radioactive isotopes of the nucleus of that hypothetical planet ended? 

Is the reason why we cannot see Planet 9 that the radioactive isotopes in the nucleus of that planet ended? If that is true the level of the infrared radiation of that planet will be low. And the volcanic temperature of that planet is gone. And its magma has been frozen of that hypothetical planet that is covered by frozen gas. 

Is planet 9 a so-called zombie planet? If Planet 9 exists there is a possibility that this hypothetical planet is a so-called rogue planet, what was traveling at the Galaxy. Then the Sun captured that planet, and that theory brings one of the most fascinating theories to the mind. That means Planet 9 might be an extremely cold object because the radioactive isotopes of its nucleus have ended, which means that the planet would turn very cold. Its nucleus has frozen when the fission of radioactive Kalium-40 ended.

Is Planet 9 just flown away?


The thing that makes Planet 9 so mysterious is that we haven't seen that object yet. The search for that thing, what could be so-called super-Earth or it can be almost everything from the cold gas giant to the miniature black hole is making this hypothetical object so interesting. Sometimes people like me have thought that there is a possibility that the right position of Alpha Centauri A and B with Proxima Centauri and Luhman 16 causes the errors, what has been seen in the trajectory and behavior of planets Uranus and Neptune. 

The result of thicker areas in the Kuiper Belt can explain those mystic errors, but the question is why we cannot see that thicker area? If there is some thicker area or planet at the Kuiper Belt, why we cannot see those particles or objects? 

The Earth-size rogue planet has been given an idea of what can explain the mystery of Planet 9. What if that distant and icy world has just flown away from the Sun. The gravity of the Sun is not very strong in the area beyond Neptune and Kuiper Belt. So what that Planet X just flew away just because of the volcanic activity. 

This might feel crazy, but if Planet X is larger than Earth, that means that there is volcanic activity on that planet. So the Planet 9 could be exactly like Earth but it's colder. So then the volcanic eruption that might be caused by an asteroid impact could transfer even a big planet from its position. If the asteroid will impact that hypothetical planet that thing causes a volcanic eruption in the area of thousands of kilometers, and that distant planet would cover with a layer of icy nitrogen or some other gas, what will explode. The rising temperature causes the explosion and the rocket effect what will push the entire planet from its orbiter. 

So the thing that this kind of theory is causing fascinating ideas, and the big planets have also big moons. The fact is that the Earth would be like Uranus if it would be at that distance. And Planet X would be farther than Neptune if it exists. But the problem is how to detect that planet. 

If there is a very thick ice core of the ice, what temperature is near zero kelvin, that thing causes the level of infrared radiation would be extremely low. But the internal temperature of that planet should be able to detect unless Planet 9 is a so-called "zombie planet" what internal structures don't have radioactive isotopes left. And that means the planet could be extremely cold because there is no internal heat left. 

What is the reason that astronomers cannot see hypothetical Planet 9? Why there are no observations about that mysterious object? That is the key question about the hunt for this mysterious object what nobody has seen yet. Is Planet 9 the rogue planet, what the Sun has captured, and the radioactive isotopes of the nucleus of that hypothetical planet ended?

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...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core.

The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
