Researchers plan to send a probe to Mars by using a powerful laser system.




The lasers are allowing to send spacecraft to orbiter without pollution. That thing makes them a very powerful tools. In the most futuristic plans, the extremely powerful nuclear-powered lasers can send the spacecraft even to other solar systems. And the same lasers that send spacecraft to orbiters and other planets can use as ASAT (Anti Satellite-systems). Those lasers could destroy satellites from the orbiter. 

There is planned to use giant laser systems for lifting satellites to the orbiter of the Earth. And also those lasers could use to send probes to outer solar systems. The problem with those giant lasers is that the systems are heating the spacecraft. That heat effect can minimize by cooling the satellite as cold as possible. The use of lasers for sending spacecraft to orbiters is not new.

In those systems, the laser ray makes hot air under the craft. And that effect lifts the craft from the ground. In some other plans, the laser ray that is inside the craft would use to vaporize liquid hydrogen. That thing can use to thrust spacecraft. The lasers can also use for vaporizing the metals that are driven to particle accelerators. Those particle accelerators can be used as ion motors. 


Graphene-based high-power particle accelerators can be used as ion engines.

As lasers, the ion cannons can use to push the craft upward. The craft can be equipped with the opposite polar electric load than the ion flow. That allows to rise it to the orbiter. 

The graphene and lasers are making it possible to create intense powerful ion accelerators. Those systems can use as an engine in spacecraft. The ion engines are particle accelerators. The graphene-ion accelerator can use for creating thrust for spacecraft. The thing is that the high-energy accelerators can also use as space weapons for the killer satellites whose primary objective is to destroy enemy satellites. The killer satellites can also deliver ions to the atmosphere for disturbing enemy communication.

Black holes cause a virtual redshift because gravitation stretches the wavelength near them.

At the beginning of this text is a film about the redshift of black holes. Gravitation stretches light, and that means gravitation fields are pulling waves longer. That thing is called the gravitational redshift. As you can see from the film, the black hole stretches radiation and distorts the redshift. Gravitational redshift, or virtual redshift, means that a black hole might seem to be at a longer distance than it is. The film shows the redshift of the star that orbits a supermassive black hole. But all other black holes interact the same way.  The event horizon is always constant. At that point, the black hole's escaping velocity is the same as the speed of light. So every black hole interacts basically in the same way. And it's possible to apply that model to all black holes irrespective of their size.  Is gravitation the thing that forms dark energy? That thing seems somehow strange. But when photons and other particles are traveling through the ball that forms the visible

The shape of the brain means more than neuro connectivity.

Well, we might say that the brain is in its entirety. Another thing is that all things in the brain have some kind of purpose. The shape of the brain and, especially, the folding of the brain shell are extremely important things. Those folds are expanding the brain's surface areas. And the brain shell has a primary role in the thinking process. The surface area of the brain determines how large the cerebral cortex is. And in a large cerebral cortex, there are a large number of neurons. But as I just wrote, the brain is in its entirety. "Researchers have discovered that the shape of a person’s brain significantly impacts thought, feeling, and behavior, overturning the prevailing emphasis on complex neuronal connectivity. Utilizing MRI scans and the principle of eigenmodes, they found that brain function is closely linked to its geometric properties, much like how the shape of a musical instrument determines its sound, offering new avenues for exploring brain function and diseas

New nanomaterial is 4 times harder than steel. And, at the same time 5 times lighter than steel.

 New nanomaterial is 4 times harder than steel. And, at the same time 5 times lighter than steel.  The new material is the hollow glass fiber with DNA molecules inside that structure. Or as you see from the image. The glass fibers are on both sides of the DNA.  DNA molecule is the thing, that involves the genetic code of the cells. Genetically engineered cells can make DNA, and those molecules can used as the nanomaterial's structures. DNA manipulation makes it possible to create new types of extremely strong materials. And those materials are stronger than steel and lighter than it. DNA molecules can act as nano-size springs.  And in some visions, genetically engineered cyborg cells like cyborg macrophages can make extremely long DNA molecules. And then they can just use those molecules as spears that can pierce wanted cells. Or those cyborg cells can also dumb targeted cells full of the DNA that terminates them immediately.  The DNA and nanotube combinations can also act as DNA-b
