NASA's "Dart" mission and Pentagon's interest.

The "Dart" probe

NASA's "Dart" mission is the ultimate lab for AI. This mission's goal is to make a probe that can find the right asteroid independently and then shoot the penetrator against the selected asteroid by using an autonomously operating AI-based system. Similar technology can use against other satellites in military missions. NASA will test the "Dart" system very soon.

When the "Dart" probe tries to turn an asteroid's trajectory it needs very complex artificial intelligence for that duty. The probe must travel far away from the Earth independently. The signal travels to that spacecraft for so long time, that direct control of the probe is impossible.

The probe must travel to the right asteroid by following the coordinates stored in its computers. Then the "Dart" probe must recognize the right asteroid and shoot the penetrator against it. This is the thing that makes The "Dart" mission interesting.

Modern technology makes it possible that killer satellites can be dangerous for people on the ground.

The term "killer satellite" means a satellite that is equipped to destroy other satellites. Maybe, there are photo recon satellites that carry self-defense rockets. Or some other kind of weapon like machine guns. Those systems were planned to use against incoming anti-satellite weapons. But the same system can use against other satellites.

There is the possibility that some killer satellites are dangerous even to individual people. If we think that the Chinese kilometer-long space station would be the spaceborne laser that system can destroy the entire city.

When a laser weapon shoots a building. Heat expansion causes a similar effect to explosives. The detonation can destroy buildings and cause damage in large areas.

But that thing needs extremely high-power lasers. The laser ray must travel through the air that absorbs the radiation. And that's why people thought that killer satellites are harmless to people on the ground. Those laser weapons must be very large.

So there is thought that shooting those systems to orbiter is impossible. But modular structures where lasers are sent in pieces to the orbiter. And then those bites will dock together. That allows one to make lasers that can collect oneself automatically. That means the laser system can look like regular satellites. Before, they get orders to go together.

In the more conventional systems, the killer satellite can drop the killer drones through the atmosphere. Those drones can operate autonomously. Or controllers can operate them by using satellite communication.

The "Dart" mission can be the living lab for that technology, where NASA tested the independently operating systems.

Similar technology and programming codes can use also be in killer satellites. Those satellites are planned to use against other satellites and suspected space weapons. The thing is that space is an important place for the military, because of many systems. Including smart weapons require GPS or high-resolution cameras that are in the orbiter.

The photo recon satellite locates the targets. And for that purpose, the system uses a terrain contour matching system. The photo recon satellite has the 3D ma inside its memory. That system allows the satellite to locate its target and send that point to GPS. The GPS will send that data to GPS-guided weapons.

Also, things like communication satellites are playing a vital role in the modern battlefield. There is a possibility that the systems. That is similar to what "Dart" can use against those satellites whose mission is to support combat troops. The "Dart" system will shoot kinetic warheads against targeted satellites.

The problem with some o the communication satellites is that they are away from the kinetic energy ground and airborne anti-satellite or ASAT systems. Same way, larger optics are making it possible to rise the recon satellites to higher trajectories where they are safe from low-orbital ASAT systems. Those killer satellites require similar abilities, developed for the "Dart" mission.

Quantum breakthrough: stable quantum entanglement at room temperature.

"Researchers have achieved quantum coherence at room temperature by embedding a light-absorbing chromophore within a metal-organic framework. This breakthrough, facilitating the maintenance of a quantum system’s state without external interference, marks a significant advancement for quantum computing and sensing technologies". (ScitechDaily, Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Stable Qubits at Room Temperature) Japanese researchers created stable quantum entanglement at room temperature. The system used a light-absorbing chromophore along with a metal-organic framework. This thing is a great breakthrough in quantum technology. The room-temperature quantum computers are the new things, that make the next revolution in quantum computing. This technology may come to markets sooner than we even think. The quantum computer is the tool, that requires advanced operating- and support systems. When the support system sees that the quantum entanglement starts to reach energy stability. I

The anomalies in gravity might cause dark energy.

"Physicists at UC Berkeley immobilized small clusters of cesium atoms (pink blobs) in a vertical vacuum chamber, then split each atom into a quantum state in which half of the atom was closer to a tungsten weight (shiny cylinder) than the other half (split spheres below the tungsten). (ScitechDaily, Beyond Gravity: UC Berkeley’s Quantum Leap in Dark Energy Research) By measuring the phase difference between the two halves of the atomic wave function, they were able to calculate the difference in the gravitational attraction between the two parts of the atom, which matched what is expected from Newtonian gravity.

The idea is that the particles and their quantum fields are whisk-looking structures. Those structures form the superstrings that are extremely thi

Neon and time crystals can be the new tools for quantum computing.

"New research investigates the electron-on-solid-neon qubit, revealing that small bumps on solid neon surfaces create stable quantum states, enabling precise manipulation. This research, supported by multiple foundations, emphasizes the importance of optimizing qubit fabrication, moving us closer to practical quantum computing solutions." (ScitechDaily, Quantum Riddle Solved? How Solid Neon Qubits Could Change Computing Forever) Researchers created a superposition in solid neon. And those neon ions, where the system creates superposition in their surfaces. Making it possible to manipulate those atoms. The atom-based qubit has one problem. Orbiting electrons cause turbulence in their quantum fields. The thing that can solve the problem is to use the quantum fields for the superposition. If the system can position electrons at a certain point, it can make a small hill to the atom's surface. And the system can use that thing for making quantum superposition between the mos
