The USAF hypersonic missile test was successful.



The B-52 "Stratofortress" carries  AGM-183 hypersonic missile during tests. 


The USAF tested AGM-183 ARRW ("Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon") hypersonic missile. And this time test was successful. The ARRW is meant to use against fixed targets like bunkers and runways. The speed of this weapon is about Mach 5+ and the difference between ARRW and the Russian "Kinzhal" hypersonic missile is that AGM-183 doesn't need a supersonic carrier. To reach the hypersonic speed. 

The limit of the "Kinzhal" missile is that its carrier plane is a MiG-31. And that aircraft can carry only one of that missiles. The drop airplane for AGM-183 is always been a B-52 Stratofortress. And that means the global strike force can use that missile on any platform that it has. So it can be the ultimate weapon for the B-52 "Stratofortress", B-1 "Lancer", B-2 "Spirit", and the new B-21 "Raider". There is the possibility that AGM-183 can also be installed in the ballistic missile. That allows ballistic missiles to make the ballistic jump outside the atmosphere. 

Then that missile releases the hypersonic missile that can fly by using a low trajectory to the target. It is suspicious that the AGM-183 and its successors planned to use along with the new top secret hypersonic aircraft that are basing the SR-72 test plane. The fact is that hypersonic weapons are shown their capacity. And the development of those systems continues. That thing means that the next-generation hypersonic missiles can destroy also naval targets like moving warships. 

The fact is the hypersonic missile is an ultimate weapon. If that weapon flies over the target area at a low altitude with a speed that is much higher than the speed of sound the pressure wave that follows the weapon is devastating. The hypersonic missile can carry conventional or nuclear warheads. But it can also use kinetic energy for destroying the target. The last option would be useful in surgical strikes against small-size targets.

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 cap...

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 ...

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 ...
