There was a little mistake in my text yesterday. The James Webb Space Telescope is on its way to Sun-Earth Lagrange point L-2, not L-1. The JWST is the new and the most powerful instrument that astronomers ever get in use. And the thing is that this instrument is acting as a pathfinder to other, more powerful telescopes that are sent outside the Jupiter trajectory. 

Maybe someday the NASA and European Space Agencies are accomplishing the TAU mission. TAU (Thousand Astronomical Unit)is the space telescope that will be sent away from the solar system, and that telescope will base similar technology with the JWST. But those things are the future views of deep space missions. The truth is that the JWST can reach outer planets as well as another solar system by using excellent accuracy.

The 6,5 meters infrared telescope of the JWST telescope makes it far more accurate than the "Spitzer" telescope, which mirror is 0,85 meters. Spitzer was a great success and that telescope was deactivated in January 2020. But the 6,5 meters infrared telescope would see more than some 0,85 meters telescope. That means the new era of space research is beginning. 

In the future, the Lagrange points around the Sun. Are useful in many more missions. One of the projects could be sending the laser satellites to those points. Those satellites can observe gravitational waves by using more high accuracy than LIGO ever can use.  Lagrange points or "L"-points gravitation is interacting with objects. The way that they are hovering in those points without the need to use the power. The L-points can benefit in positioning the large-size space stations.

The O'Neill cylinder


And that thing can make them useful in the location of things like "O'Neill" cylinders. The thing is that those artificial worlds must not have similar gravitation with Earth. The "O'Neill cylinders" create gravitation by using rotating movement. 

Sometimes is mentioned that O'Neill cylinders are impossible. The rotating movement would cause centripetal force that rips the station in pieces. The gravitation field of the Earth is so strong. That the speed needed for rotating the station is very high. 

The purpose of gravitation in those systems is to anchor things like vegetable cultures to the surface. Not create similar gravitation with Earth.  But there is possible to put powerful magnets to the center of the cylinder. That magnetic stick pulls the structures of that kind of station in the middle. And the magnetic pulling effect will counteract against centripetal force. The magnets would pull the structures inside. And that keeps the wall of the cylinder in one piece.

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
