What is MIRV (Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle)?

Kimmo Huosionmaa People normally ask what actually means term MIRV? The term means that nuclear missile carries many warheads, what it can target to the same point or different locations on the enemy ground. This means that one “Sarmat” missile can destroy one big area or 24 cities around the world. Term MRV (Maneuverable Reentry Vehicle) means normally that nuclear missile carries warheads, what can change their course during flight. This weapon is very devastating, and it can avoid kinetic energy ABM (Anti Ballistic Missile) system. That warhead is equipped with sensors, what notices the incoming ABM-rocket, and then it starts to turn, what makes the direct hit to target very difficult. Intercontinental ballistic missiles would operate many ways, and there would be many advantages in that equipment since 1960’s. Modern missiles are equipped with artificial intelligence, what makes the defense against them difficult. First, the hit to enemy ground would happen that some warheads detonated in orbital trajectory. That would cause damages to radars and other equipment, what are guided those ABM-systems. Also, some of those warheads could probably return to Earth and re-installed to missiles. That makes the threatening with those weapons more effective because those weapons can send to the skies and park over the enemy capital city. And if the war would begin, those weapons can strike with warning time, what takes seconds.

Will humans survive the sun's red giant stage?

"As the Sun matures into a Red Giant, the oceans will boil and Earth will become uninhabitable." (The Conversation, The sun won’t die for 5 billion years, so why do humans have only 1 billion years left on Earth?) Sooner or later, all stars use their hydrogen. And then they turn into red giants. Sun is a yellow G spectral class star that turns into a white dwarf. But before that, the sun will turn larger.  The sun turns red and that means. It starts to send more infrared radiation. This thing will turn Earth into a hellish temperature that vaporizes water from Earth.  It's possible. That Earth will also vaporize with Venus and Mercury. Some scientists say that we have only 1 billion years to move farther in the solar system. The habitable zone will go to the distance of Jupiter and Saturn, and maybe humans find a safe place in those distant moons.  It's possible that before Sun will grow too large humans make large groups of mirror satellites or large shields that sho...

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...

The new observations and observation tools are revolutionizing nanotechnology and the way of thinking in physics.

ScitechDaily.com "A new study has overturned a fundamental principle of physics by demonstrating that similarly charged particles can attract each other in a solution, with the effect varying between positive and negative charges depending on the solvent. This discovery has significant implications for various scientific processes, including self-assembly and crystallization". (ScitechDaily, Opposites Attract, Likes Repel? Scientists Overturn Fundamental Principle of Physics) The research reveals the importance of solvent structure at the interface in determining interparticle interactions, challenging long-held beliefs and indicating a need for a re-evaluation of our understanding of electromagnetic forces.
