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.

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
