Is X-37B some kind of nuclear bomber?


The space shuttle is a modular system. It is always suitable for military and civil missions. 


GLSDB (Ground-Lauch Small Diameter Bomb) type systems can give missiles pinpoint accuracy even in intercontinental range. AI-based optical seekers can make it possible that small-diameter bombs can destroy individual vehicles or other targets in extremely long-range. And the same weapon used in GLSDB can install even in intercontinental boosters like Minuteman or Trident missiles. 

Dream Chaser
X-37B

X-37B is a miniature shuttle. That space system has a cargo room, like larger shuttles. But the size of X-37B and its successors like "Dream Chaser" is far smaller than well-known big shuttles. But that cargo bays make all space shuttles multi-use tools. 

There is the possibility that small telescopes and other kinds of observation systems are put in those small and highly secretive shuttles. There is the possibility that the X-37B type of shuttle can raise remote-controlled biological or nanotechnical research laboratories to a non-gravitational environment. 

And then those laboratories can return to Earth in those cargo bays. The fact is that. X-37B can also carry nuclear weapons in its cargo bay. The space bombers would not necessarily use nuclear weapons.




The miniature shuttles also can serve as space fighters in ASAT missions. But they also can bomb targets on the ground. For those missions, the space bomber requires a bomb with normal bombs with heat shields. 

This type of shuttle can make kamikaze missions against targets, or it can drop those nuclear bombs through the atmosphere. When people talk about things like fractional orbital bombardment systems. They forget one thing. FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment Systems) weapon or orbital bombardment weapon is not always a big one.



 In some visions, the military can put 280 mm. nuclear grenades in small-size satellites and drop them on targets. The U.S. military tested that nuclear grenade in the nuclear test "Upshot-Knothole Grable".  Another thing is that the FOBS systems don't need to use nuclear warheads. The orbital bombardment systems can also drop conventional weapons like smart glide bombs from satellites. 

Those glide bombs or smart weapons are similar to GLSDB (Ground Launched Small Diameter Bombs. But their rocket is much more powerful. That means, GLSDB can just put to the nose of the Minuteman missile. 



Glide bombs,  used in long-range missiles are not necessarily hypersonic. Hypersonic technology is fascinating. But there is the possibility that those glide bombs are like normal spacecraft that have a heat shield and inertia- and smart optical or image homing system. The weapon flies to the target by using inertia. And in terminal sequence, that kind of weapon can turn to use an optical homing system. 

And also things like conventional glide bombs with advanced optical seekers can shoot to target areas by using ballistic missiles. The GLSDB (Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb) can also mount in long-range missiles. There is a possibility that the Israeli "Spice" intelligent stand-off weapons can install also in a long-range missile. The intelligent image-homing. Used in Javelin-missiles can give those glide bombs ultimate accuracy. 

The glide bomb can be a small-size space shuttle that has wings. The thing is that a glide bomb that is launched through ballistic- or orbital trajectories is not necessarily hypersonic. They can be stealth technology using supersonic systems that are conventional weapons.

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
