Killer drones are playing an important role in Ukraine.

Bayraktar TB2 Runway (Wikipedia/Baykar Bayraktar TB2) Killer drones or UCAVs (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles) are playing important role in Ukraine. They are shown their abilities in many conflicts from Afghanistan to Azerbaidzhan and Ukraine. When we are talking about combat drones normally people mean large-size drones that are shooting missiles and dropping bombs. The used drones are Turkish made Baykar Bayraktar TB2-lerge size drones.  Those UCAVs:s are quite easy to drop by using manned jet fighters. So the use of the UCAVs requires air superiority. Those UCAVs require complicated technology. Those large-size drones are only remote-controlled or automatized attack aircraft.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baykar_Bayraktar_TB2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unmanned_combat_aerial_vehicle Another type of those systems is "loitering munition". The miniature cruise missile can observe the area. And make kamikaze attacks. But there is another drone type that causes concern in

The soundwaves can use in fundamental 3D printing technology.

Soundwaves are carrying material. And that thing is not a very big surprise because sound waves are the movement of molecules. The thing is that there are also sound waves in the space. Objects like stars are sending material or gas impulses. And that means that molecular movement can observe by using radars.  And turn to the sound waves. The gas or other particles can inject into the outer layer of the space structures. But the soundwaves can use in fundamental 3D printing technologies.  But the fact is that the coherent sound waves can use in the new fundamental  3D printing tools. In that case, the plastic dust or small plastic particles can carry to a certain position by using coherent sound waves. That thing allows using the modified LRAD-systems for sending particles in long distances.  In that kind of 3D printing system, the particles are riding with soundwave or soundwave-laser ray combination. And that thing means that kind of system can be the next-generation 3D printing tool

There is always the possibility that a nuclear state uses nuclear weapons.

SS-18 (Wikipedia/R-36 (missile)) In this text, the main objective is tactical nuclear weapons. The purpose of strategic weapons is to support the tactical systems. When we are thinking about the difference between tactical and strategic systems the limit between those systems is lower.  The strategic missile can have tactical missions. And the strategic missile can also have low yield warheads. Also, the tactical missile can have high-yield warheads. And modern strategic missiles can also hit targets on the battlefield.  If some state has nuclear weapons. There is always the possibility that the state also uses them.  There are two types of nuclear weapons. Tactical and strategic. The range of tactical nuclear weapons is about a couple of hundreds of kilometers. And the range of strategic nuclear weapons is over 2000 kilometers. When we are thinking of tactical nuclear weapons most of them are highly mobile battlefield systems that can sweep the situation away from the battlefield. The

What if Russian banks will be closed out from the SWIFT system?

  The closing out from SWIFT means that there are no money transfers between those banks and other banks. That thing is devastating for the economy. And maybe that allows blocking the money transfer between Vladimir Putin's inner circle and other countries. That will limit those people's ability to operate at western marketing.  Even Standard&Poors warned Europe about the influence of the sanctions. We must remember that economics is not an independent thing. When people are seeing that some nation is acting brutally. That causes antipathy. And today things like social media are very good tools to share information. That information can be right or wrong. But the thing is that thing will influence to invest to that country.  Today is not possible to hide the membership in companies that have connections with Oligarchs. Even if we want to see that business is business we must remember that business with the wrong people can cause boycotts. A negative reputation is also damag

Loitering munitions or kamikaze drones are effective weapons that cause high risk if they get into the wrong hands.

The invasion of Ukraine is typical Russian military action. Long-range cruise missiles are used against civilian and military targets. The thing in the use of the cruise missiles is that the Glonass/GPS systems are effective only if the location of the target is well-known. And another thing is that the system should know all the time if the target is moving. In the western military.  The problem with the Russian missiles is this: are they accurate enough to make pinpoint accurate attacks? So are they shot at civilian targets on purpose? And how well do their systems stand against high-power ECM (Electronic Counter Measure) jamming?  The attacks are followed by high-flying recon planes or satellites. The problem is that if the target is moving. The missile should know that thing or it misses the hit. New missiles are so-called kamikaze drones. They are cruising above the battlefield. The official name of those systems is loitering drones. They can use against things like cruise missile

There is a risk in Chernobyl nuclear plant.

Sarcophage over Chernobyl nuclear plant Russian troops are capturing Chernobyl nuclear plant. And that is causing a risk of nuclear disaster. The radiation level in that area is increased because of the traffic of military vehicles. And that thing causes risks that the people get radioactive material in their lungs. Another risk is that there will be some kind of damage in the protective buildings of the nuclear plant.  In the summertime that radioactive material is extremely dangerous. Because of radioactive dust, that rises from the ground. That dust causes lung cancer and other symptoms. There was a nuclear accident at Chernobyl in 1986. And still, the area is highly radioactive. Or it's the area where people cannot stay without protective suits or iodine tablets. Without those tablets, there is the risk that radioactive iodine will be stored in the thyroid gland. And that thing causes cancer.  But as you might know nuclear material causes always a risk and that is somebody migh

Machines are not racists. Human beings are racists.

The "shot spotter" system is very effective for locating the place of gunshots happens. The "shot spotter" cannot track people after gunshots are fired. It can make two circles around the location of gunshots. Triangular metering determines the place where gunshots are located. Those circles are the possible distance of the shooter to the point where gunshots are located. Those distances are basing the average speed of a walking or running person or person who uses some vehicles.  The "shot spotter" came into service in the 1990s. And there are more effective ways to locate the gunshot point. There is the possibility that when the shot spotter locates a suspected gunshot the system can send the drone to see what is going on. Or the system would aim the nearest surveillance camera to the point of suspected shooting.  The new systems might base the networked systems like surveillance cameras and automatic drones that send to the point where shots are located

Magnetic fields are feeding black holes.

"This figure shows the magnetic field orientation (streamlines) and direction (animated streamlines) in the central 1 kpc starburst ring of the spiral galaxy NGC 1097 using data from the radio polarimetric observations. Credit: Lopez-Rodriguez et al". (ScitechDaily, SOFIA Reveals How Magnetic Fields Help Feed a Supermassive Black Hole) String theory determines material as the ball of 2D strings. Those strings form the yarn ball-type structure called particles. The wave-particle duality means that material can turn to string or wave movement. And the counter-reaction should also be possible. The string can turn into a particle. Only elementary particles like quarks can form from that thing.  So if we want to compare string with yarn ball we should only take the string that has the right length for creating dark matter. The idea is simple we should only determine the length of the string that forms dark matter. And then we could build dark matter quite easily. But as you know m

The fusion energy is coming.

Fusion energy is one of the most interesting versions of energy production. The problem is that this reactor requires deuterium and tritium for the fusion. The term "heavy water" means that the hydrogen is turned to its heavier isotopes deuterium and tritium. But there is so small number of those isotopes in the water.  In hydrogen bombs, lithium deuteride creates, deuterium and tritium when it's shot with neutrons. But deuterium and tritium can produce from water by stressing it with radiation. In nature, 0,015% of hydrogen is in deuterium form.  So vaporized lithium deuteride can use in fusion reactors the same way. The radiation stress would turn lithium 6 deuteride into deuterium and tritium. The vacuum allows vaporizing the lithium deuteride. And then that vaporized lithium deuteride can be driven to a tokamak-type donut-shaped reactor.  When a fusion reaction is started. The reactor's radiation can use to produce deuterium and tritium. The bottle of water will t

Is the reason for autism that there are "too many" certain type neurons in the human brain?

The math neurons are causing a question: is autism an anomaly about neuron groups that control certain skills. If the neuron group that is controlling mathematics skills is too dominating. That means there are fewer neurons for handling some other skills. The discoveries like math cells in human brains are leading neurologists to track the origin of autism. The savant autism and math-cells are causing an idea that maybe autism is the disorder. In the relation in cell groups in human brains. The specialized neuron group is controlling every single skill that person has. That means there are "math neurons", "language neurons", "musical neurons", etc.  And if there are "too many" neurons that are controlling some skill. That means there are fewer neurons that are controlling some other skill. Even if we have 300 billion neurons in the human brain every single neuron is responsible in its area. And every single neuron has the area where it's best

Can spinning spacecraft create artificial gravitation?

The fact is that artificial gravitation is not the same as gravitation on Earth. The artificial gravitation that is made by using spinning structures bases the centripetal force.  That means things like the Coriolis effect are things. That makes artificial gravitation a different type than so-called normal gravitation. When something is dropped in the spinning spacecraft that thing will drop by screw trajectory.  And the fast-spinning spacecraft can cause nausea for people on board. The spinning structure is the only way how to make artificial gravitation. If we want to send the crew to other planets we need artificial gravitation. Without a gravitation field, the muscles of the astronaut will turn weak during the spaceflight that takes years.   If the muscles are getting weak after space flight that person cannot operate on the surface of the planet. There is the possibility that the spin of the craft is not very fast if it is used only for anchoring things on the layers. In that case

Researchers are found math neurons in human brains.

Image 1:) Researchers are found math neurons in human brains. That thing gives new information on how and when the neurons are starting to specify. The discovery of the neurons that are specialized in mathematics is opening new paths for neurosciences. Because there are the math neurons there should be language neurons.  And maybe there are specialized neurons for every type of skill that people have. So there could be cooking neurons and social neurons that are controlling social activities in the neural network.  When researchers are finding when the separation of the neurons starts. That thing makes the revolution in the training and education. Learning new skills is rewiring brains. And if that process can be controlled by researchers, that brings the new and powerful educating tools to the hands of the educational processors.  That kind of research can serve the medical care of brain damages. There is a possibility that in the future. The person whose brain is injured. Can get the

Are we living in a simulation?

A lighthouse is a good example of an isolated place. What if some person lives entirely life in that kind of place. And plays some computer games? Would those games turn to reality?  Is reality an simulation? Before you will start to laugh we must determine the simulation. Many people believe that simulations are only things like computer programs. But there are also other types of simulations. The main types of simulations are:  1) Computer-based virtual simulations like computer games.  2) Physical simulations like military exercises. 3) Hybrid simulations where operators control robots at operational areas.  The virtual or virtual reality-based simulations are the computer programs that are running on virtual reality. And things like computer games are one version of simulations.  But the physical simulations also exist. Physical simulations are things like military exercises. The physical simulation means that person would go to some area. And then that person starts to make things

Russian stock markets are diving.

Image: https://markets.ft.com/data/world/countries/russia Russian stock markets are diving. And that thing is a good example of how military actions are affecting the economy. When we are thinking about things like strong leadership and authoritarianism we forget one thing. In an authoritarian nation, the leased has a different position than, in a non-authoritarian nation.  In an authoritarian government, leadership has a bigger purpose than in a non-authoritarian government. And that thing means that the words of that kind of leader mean bigger things than in a non-authoritarian nation.  When we are thinking about the crisis there is always the possibility that the investments would be confiscated. And the other thing that causes uncertainty in marketing is the thing that being fellow with the attacker is bad for business. If there will be some kind of sanctions. That means that those investments to the nation that will get sanctions can cause problems for that investor.  The thing is

The brain is the battlefield of the future.

Above this text is Dr. James Girdino's lecture about these topics. The thing is that the brain is the center of your life. Brains are willing and conscious that are allowed to operate on the battlefield. The brain is the key element of humanity. They are needed to control things in and out of the body.  The brain is the thing that is making the will to accomplish the mission. And the brain is the thing that makes new machines and equipment. So affecting the brain is one of the key elements on the battlefield. If the soldier would not want to follow orders. That means there is no chance of success in the mission.  As Napoleon Bonaparte said: the person who knows the soldier's mind owns the army. When we are thinking about false information and information operations they are meant to justify the operation. And also the purpose of those operations is to drive the operation forward. So in the Ukraine situation, the final chance of the weaker part is to take off the support of the

Microwave weapons are a new threat.

Microwaves can knock out the drone swarms. They can use to destroy material and electronics. There are plans to use megawatt-class microwaves against incoming missile raids. The same systems can also knock out satellites. That kind of system can damage the electronics of the missiles.  But it can turn the core of the warhead weaker. And that could break the warhead when it arrives in the atmosphere. The microwaves can use also for warming the nuclear material in the missiles. And a thing can cause the nuclear system to detonate too early. When microwaves are hitting the ammo dump that warms the ammunition.  But microwaves can turn the steel in houses into loudspeakers. When microwave hits to steel structure it expands it. And that causes the sound effect that is outside the human hearing range.  Microwave weapons can knock out electronics. But if those weapons are high-power enough they can even melt steel. High-power microwaves can use against ammunition dumps and ballistic missile ma

New microchips can use sodium from sweat for making energy.

Human sweat is involving salt or sodium chloride. And that metal can use for making energy for the microchips that are connected to the human body. The intelligent plaster can have gold electrodes for making the chemical electric vortex. And there might be a microchip connected to them.  Those chips can be small GPS systems. Or they can control miniature machines inside the body. There is a lot of things where those systems are suitable.  Those microchips can transmit body functions to mobile devices like GSM telephones. And that system can send things like EKG to the hospital. Another thing where those "wearable microchips" are good tools for controlling nanomachines in the body. Nanomachines are the next-generation tool for medicines.  The nanomachines are controlled by using radio systems. The problem is how to get feedback from nanomachine? The system requires two-way communication for reaching accuracy. That is high enough for destroying things like tumors in the human b

Artificial intelligence is the ultimate tool for satellite intelligence.

Automatic data handling tools like image recognition are the ultimate tools for searching details from images. That kind of system can help to find things like missiles from hostile areas. The AI-based systems can handle large data mass and connect data that comes from different sources to one entirety.  These kinds of systems are already in use. The automatic image analysis makes it possible to search things like SS-26 "Stone" missile batteries. The highly mobile battlefield systems are so-called "hard to find- easy to destroy systems".  If the highly mobile tactical missile is found it's easy to destroy by using some kind of smart bomb. The fact is that destroying those systems is not so easy because they are supported by heavy air defense. The speed of the launcher is about the same as the truck. And that means they are extremely hard to find. If the missile is hiding in some structures it's almost impossible to locate.  Theoretically, tactical missile sy

Are bitcoins safe from attackers who use quantum computers?

The fact is this. There is quite a small number of quantum computers in the world. They are easy to control. And there is no free access to those computers. If the quantum computer is in some cave there is the possibility to double-check the code that s driven by using quantum computers. But if some intelligence service uses that quantum computer. There is the possibility. That it will use as a tool for network attacks.  Trusted organizations are controlling those systems. And that means the internet is safe from private attackers who use quantum computers. But the problem is that some governments might have a will to attack other states' facilities by using quantum computers.  Nobody protects people against governmental actors. If the hackers are operating under governmental protection. There is no way to get them to the court.  The NSA is not the only network intelligence organization in the world. Chinese and Russians are also interesting in quantum computers. And those governme

When we are collecting information, the focus is on the reason. Why do we make that thing?

Nice-looking data mean nothing in projects. Only honest feedback is a useful tool. For making an organization addictive. Negative feedback is the thing that gives the most useful information. That thing involves data that should make better or other ways. If the homepages of the organization are poor the people should say that. That thing is the signal for making them better.  And if nobody tells that the homepages are bad. That information would not reach the organizations' directors. So if the leaders of the organization would not know. If there is something wrong, they would not make anything. The reason for that is that leaders need information for making decisions  But negative feedback is hardest to receive. So the person who collects information should realize that the purpose of the information collection is to bring the right information. Information that is shaped to please the receiver is useless. Only useful information. Is not censored and honestly given.  When we coll

The IBM Unveils 127 qubit quantum computer.

  That quantum computer is a big step to making fully commercial quantum computers. And those quantum computers would open new and bright visions for military and civil purposes. Quantum computers can hack any code that is made by using binary computers. And that thing means that they are causing a need to remake the entire security of the Internet. The history of quantum computers would repeat the history of binary computers.  At first quantum computers are the systems that are locked at the calculation centers. But then they will turn to every-man machines and perhaps quite soon the regular personnel computers will turn to quantum computers. Things like programming language for quantum computers are bringing more users to them. The new programming language for quantum computers is making them easier to use.  And user-friendly applications like AI-based code translators are bringing quantum computers to more users. That translator means that well-known computer code like C++, Python,

Society must prepare for modern threats better than they prepared.

Covid 19 has proved one thing. We must prepare better for modern threats. New platforms like the Internet and social media are bringing new opportunities. But they are also bringing new threats. When we are thinking about things like COVID-19 we must ask one question.  Would those lockdowns and quarantines be made without social media? The function of social media is two-way. Social media can use for delivering information. But that information is probably non-relevant.  Disinformation and misinformation are both harmful. There is no difference between wrong information that is delivered on purpose or accidentally. If some other person would believe that vaccinations are risking their lives that thing is harmful.  When we are thinking about vaccines and other things, we must realize that those things are the biggest in human history. Vaccines can make some biological weapons unable to work. And that thing means that the UN should give more support for vaccination projects against Anthr
