NASA:s Kepler-telescope is near end of the fuel, and it can be pointed to some specific solar system for collecting specific data from the specific exoplanet system

NASA:s Kepler mission is coming near its end, because fuel of the telescope is running low, and this means, that this telescope cannot be turned to the targets anymore. Kepler has been found new exoplanets, and it has given information, that maybe there is a habitable planet somewhere in the Universe.


Some people think, that maybe this telescope can be pointed at some point in the universe, where are known exoplanets. This system could be Gliese-581, or some other system, what can be observed from Earth, and this telescope can collect the information of this particular system. Maybe it should be Alpha Centauri, where we're at least founded exoplanets.

But this is only speculation. Kepler telescope has been used to demonstrate low-cost space telescope technology, and it has given very much for science and engineering, and the data what this telescope have been collected, would be analyzed years after its mission have been ended. And this information would be used to selecting targets for James Webb and other very powerful telescopes, what operates outside Pluto trajectory.


James Webb-telescope would represent the brand new design for space telescopes. This telescope has the table, where the telescope optical system stands. This structure allows turn telescope the way, that the guidance rockets would not need use every time when this telescope selects the target. And if those telescopes would send far enough from Earth, the temperature would be very low, what allows use also infrared radiation for making observations for other solar systems.

Use virtual "perpetual motion machines" and seawater as energy sources.

   Use virtual "perpetual motion machines"  and seawater as energy sources.  The Archimedean screw can offer almost endless energy sources.  "Robert Fludd's 1618 "water screw" perpetual motion machine from a 1660 wood engraving. It is widely credited as the first attempt to describe such a device." (Wikipedia/Perpetual motion) The term "virtual perpetual motion machine" means a machine. That pulls water to the upper tank using a capillary tube. Then that water will fall through the generator or turbine wheel. The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a "perpetual motion machine", that is impossible because of laws of thermodynamics.  The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a " real perpetual motion machine", which is impossible because of the laws of thermodynamics.  The real perpetual motion machines don't use outside energy. And that's why they are not possible.

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.  An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru

There might be an answer to why there is a gravitational hole in Earth's gravitational field.

The gravitational field at the point of the Indian Ocean is weaker than in other places on Earth. The existence of that gravitational hole is proved. But the reason why that gravitational hole is formed is unknown. The reason why the gravitational field on the Indian Ocean is weaker might be a simple thing.  There is a possible lighter rock in the mantle, or there is less material at that point. In some wildest theories, there are bubbles in magma that turn below the bottom of the Indian Ocean are less massive than in other places on Earth. The lighter material at that point should make the hole in gravitation.  "Geoid undulation in false color.
