The major problem of Russian technology is was bureaucracy. Also, old-fashion military tradition makes sometimes the to confess that the innovation team has made mistakes. This means, that if there were some mistakes in equipment,  were not dared to tell the leaders of the project. This caused the death of some cosmonauts, and at least one case the reason, why the parachute have not the reason was that the box of the parachute was too big in its space. And that caused the death of cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov (1927-1967), who crashed on the ground with 250 kilometers per hour in 1967.

There were some things, what caused the rumors that Komarov was murdered. First was that this man claimed to curse the Soviet leaders while dropping, and sometimes somebody has been asked, could Komarov feel or notice that the parachute was not open, or did somebody in control center told that to Komarov? But this kind of things are rumors, what are was not sent about many historical accidents. The case of Komarov made many people think that "how many cosmonauts were lost in space?". There are many stories in Russia, that some of those men, who sent to the sky ever returned. But when we are thinking about Soyuz program, we must notice that over 300 technical failures in one capsule Soyuz 7K-OK were not very good achievement from those engineers.

And of course, the handling of the parachute was not like, what it should be. When Komarov went to capsule he said, that he was not want to risk Yuri Gagarin's (1934-1968) life. In that mission, Gagarin was as backup crew. But in this case, I must ask did Komarov afraid because of the life of Gagarin? And then the parachute failed in the last moments of that flight. There is one remarkable thing: also Gagarin died in the airplane accident during routine mission short after Komarov's death.

Vladimir Komarov
(1927-1967)

His MiG fighter was hit the ground in the middle of routine maneuver and Gagarin didn't send any emergency call, and there were rumors that this cosmonaut committed suicide in 1968. But this sad accident of Komarov is was the example of the dangers of authoritarian command in engineering work. The engineers are humans, who make mistakes. And if they don’t dare to tell that there are problems with production, the results will be sooner or later devastating. This is the reason, why the engineering team must talk freely and also dare to confess that they are made mistakes without fear of divorce or execution.

The most dangerous situation would be that somebody is hiding some errors in the product. And the Russian authoritative government, what would give punishments very easily would cause the situation, where rumors of assassinations keep the mouth shut by was errors like wrong size parachute because that would make the product the production slower, and the timetables would not match. This might cause the death of Komarov, and the death of this man was the accident, what was the reason for many mistakes in the process, where parachute of the Soyuz one was ordered. And only one question stays on the air: why that parachute was not denied and the spacecraft staff sends it back to the factory? And why the size of the room of parachute was not sent to the factory? Those questions still remain above Soyuz 1.

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....

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...
