The lasers are not immune to jamming


In the world of the military, the laser-systems are very popular because they are immune to the jammer system. The fact is that LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) -based systems can jam by giving the laser system false laser echoes. Jamming the laser-based rangefinder is quite easy. The laser detector can be jam by pointing it with another laser and that radiation will cause that the system will get the wrong values, and the warhead of the missile will translate the strong radiation echo that the impact is coming. 

In future systems, the counter radiation can send by using the same frequency what has the same frequency as the laser radiation that is sent from the LIDAR-system. When those laser rays will travel through the LIDAR-radiation it will polarize the radiation. And that thing will twist the radiation waves of the LIDAR system. 

If the laser rangefinder is pointed by another laser that causes the echo what the system detects is too strong. And this kind of way to use the counter radiation can cause that the missile will explode too early. In this case to the laser will target another laser, which will disturb the aiming and ranging system. 

In the modern cruise missile, the LIDAR-based systems are in use at altimeters and targeting systems. In those systems the echo, what the LIDAR-system will get will be twisted. The twisting of those radiation echoes can do by using dust, which absorbs part of that radiation or making a hologram, or sending another laser ray through the LIDAR-system's laser radiation. 

If the LIDAR-based altimeter gets twisted echoes, that can cause that the thing like a cruise missile will rise too high. If the echo is too strong that thing will cause the computer of the missile to think that the missile is flying too low. And if the echo is too weak the system translates that the missile or drone flies too low. And if the change of altitude is too down and flight altitude is about 100 meters, the drone can crash immediately.

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. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. 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...
