Today the USA successfully tested its hypersonic HAWC missile.

The Hypersonic Air-Breathing Concept (HAWC) missile has been tested a second time. By the USAF. The biggest difference between HAWC and Russian Kinzhal-missile is that the HAWC uses an air-breathing Scramjet-engine that will give the HAWC system a longer range.

The dropping aircraft was a B-52, and the capacity of this kind of system is huge. The HAWC missile can use as a multi-role weapon, but the most effective is against ships and heavily armed bunkers. The HAWC missile can fly inside the submarine bunkers' doors.

But the thing is that this kind of scramjet-driven system can also use to shoot down enemy aircraft. There is the possibility that the successor of the F-35 has the hypersonic capacity that allows it to fly to the operational area very fast.

And then that system can slow down for a normal dogfight. Or the hypersonic attack plane can drop normal smart bombs on the target. The thing is that this kind of aircraft is very capable in both nuclear and conventional strike missions.

And the HAWC is also giving data for making the hypersonic technology suitable for the larger-size concepts. The hypersonic carry unit can make the ballistic jump and release satellites to the orbiting trajectory. The hypersonic aircraft can jump outside the atmosphere and then release the satellite before its landing back in the atmosphere.

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...
