Are we already found alien life?

"Small part of the Cydonia region, taken by the Viking 1 orbiter and released by NASA/JPL on July 25, 1976". (Wikipedia/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cydonia_(Mars)) Some researchers suggest that maybe we already found alien life or evidence of even intelligent lifeforms. But we judged them false too quickly. And then, if the falsification happens too fast, it's hard to change the testimony. But the fact is that the evidence of the suspected ancient Matian lifeforms is not found very often.  And that is evidence that supports and denies the hypothesis about ancient primitive lifeforms on the red planet. The suspected bacteria fossils on a meteorite found in Antarctica look like cyanobacteria. So their origin can be on Earth.  Somebody says that we already found evidence of intelligent life. In some theories, the "face of Mars" are created by nanomachines that can imitate things that they see. And some other people think that the famous image that is found in Wik

Planet nine, stealth technology, electromagnetic explosives, and laser rockets are fascinating combinations.

Planet nine could be a stealth planet.  There is the possibility that Planet X or the mythic ninth planet is invisible. Because around that planet is a thin hydrogen layer. When weak solar radiation hits those hydrogen atoms. They will turn their electrons against solar radiation.  So solar radiation causes a situation in that the hydrogen atoms send wave movement that turns sunlight to travel past that hypothetical planet. In that case, the planet is invisible. There is a possibility that planet X's surface temperature is the same as its environment.  That means there is no energy exchange between that planet and its environment. That makes this object extremely hard to detect. And that means the hypothetical planet X is a stealth planet. Even if the energy that impacts its dayside rises. Planet X's temperature is a little bit higher than its environment so energy travels to nightside.  And that means we cannot see that hypothetical planet if it exists. The reason, why Planet

NASA Maxwell X-57 all-electric aircraft made a thermal test for its cruise engines.

All electric aircraft are the tools that can revolutionize aviation. Electric engines can use to make aircraft silent. So the next-generation aircraft can use electric engines for lift-off from city areas and fly away from cities. Then they can start to use their jet engines. That thing can use to lower the noise that aircraft create. The "flying cars" or cheap VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) aircraft can use by officials and private actors. The all-electric engine systems allow them to operate from any parking lots.  There is also the possibility that all-electric vehicles can also act as submarines. Today those "flying submarines" are small quadcopters that can operate in airborne and underwater conditions. But it's possible to create larger, manned models of those small drones.  If the electric-powered aircraft uses a wireless electric supply. There are no limits to the time that this system can operate. The system can create wireless power by using lase

New research allows transferring neurons between species.

"This is a histological image of a rat brain with a grafted human brain organoid. Credit: Jgamadze et al." (ScitechDaily.com/Scientists Transplant Human Brain Organoids Into Adult Rats – And They Respond to Visual Stimuli) Scientists transfer human neurons to adult rats' brains. And those neurons give a response to visual stimuli. This is the first time in history that living neurons transferred to an adult's brain. And that thing allows the creation of new types of medical treatment for brain damage. The ability to transfer neurons to the neural system and make them operate also allows the transfer of the "brain" between people.  The problem with neuron transfer is that those new neurons have no memories. Neurons need their memory blocks to make their missions perfectly. Those memory blocks are needed so that neurons can find the right track for information that travels through it.  DNA transfer allows creating the customized organs for people. In some mode

The AI detects alien signals from data.

The alien signals and SETI program are some of the most interesting things in the world. There is a couple of unique signals whose origin is unknown. And some researchers introduce that signals like BLC-1 and Wow-signal are some kind of emergency signals whose origin is unknown.  Some studies are saying that probably human interference is behind the BLC-1. But because the signal doesn't repeat. The BLC-1's origin remains open.  "When we fed our AI a previously studied dataset, it discovered eight signals of interest the classic algorithm missed. To be clear, these signals are probably not from extraterrestrial intelligence, and are more likely rare cases of radio interference". (ScienceAlert.com/AI System Detects Strange Signals of Unknown Origin in Radio Data) There are no confirmed alien signals, but there are eight suspicious cases. Those BLC (Breakthrough Listen Candidate) cases cause discussion about the origin of those signals. The only fact that is confirmed is

Unexpected ring system found around the dwarf planet Quaoar.

Dwarf planet Quaoar is the gravitational center in its environment. The gravitational effect of that dwarf planet is minimal. But gravitation always acts the same way. So the same effect that forms a ring-system around giant planets forms the ring around dwarf planet Quaoar.  The formation of the ring system depends on the Roche limit, the strength of gravitation, and the distance from the sun. Also, the gravitational effect of other planets and dwarf planets affects those rings. The requirement for forming the ring system is the solar wind's strength compared to the planet's or gravitational center's gravitation field's strength.  The reason why Earth has no ring is that solar wind just blows those particles away. The reason why Quaoar has rings is that solar wind in that distance is so weak. Those particles will anchor around Quaoar. There is a possibility that almost all objects in the Kuiper belt have ring systems.  The thing, that makes those ring systems interesti

Is time an illusion?

Time is relative, said Albert Einstein. And that is the only real fact about time. Things like time as dimension or time as wave movement are theories, or attempts to model that kind of thing. We know that we can stop aging by traveling at the speed of light. When an object travels with the speed of light, that thing causes a situation where that particle gets so much more energy than it loses. And that is the situation where the particle is not aging.  The speed of light is relative. When the universe expands the quantum fields that are slowing the time will turn weaker. And that means the material is also turned thinner. So in the young universe speed of light is slower than it's now.  That thing that should be real is the medium, where light travels. Affect the speed of light. The speed of light is lower in water than in the air and in air, particle travels slower than in a vacuum.  But the thing that makes the speed of light relative is that we can observe it outside from water

Neutron lasers and neutrino beams are the next-generation tools.

Neutron lasers and neutrino beams are the next-generation tools. If researchers can capture neutrons and neutrinos.  Neutron lasers are neutron clouds that are trapped in magnetic tanks. And the main problem with that system is how to get neutrons. The powerful magnetic field can trap neutrons from nuclear reactors. Neutrons are polar particles so the magnetic system can pull them backward slowing their speed. And then the magnetic field can lock neutrons in a magnetic chamber or tank.  Those systems have based on the idea that when neutrons are stressed with the energy they send neutron radiation. Those neutrons will capture from nuclear reactors. Then in the middle of the tank is the group of neutrons that are put in line. Then the energy will pump to those hovering neutrons. The neutron cloud that surrounds those entangled neutrons will pump energy to them. And they send neutron radiation in both directions.

MIT researchers grow perfect atom-thin materials.

The new materials like intelligent canvas, are groups of robots. Those robots require miniature microchips. And those microchips require 2D atom structure frames. The perfect atom-thin materials require for nanomachines. And those materials can make a new type of medical possible. The nanomachines are molecular-size machines. The most important thing in those machines is the form of the molecule. The problem with those systems is how to make the form that repeats again and again. If the shape of those molecules is wrong the nanomachine will not work. Atom-thin materials are needed for a new type of miniaturized technology. Those materials act as a frame where things like nano-size transistors and other components are anchored in their position. The minimum size of nano-size transistors is three atoms that act as a base, collector, and emitter. That allows the creation of extremely small-size microchips.  The new intelligent canvas is the robot group. That thing makes it possible that t

The new artificial plume robot can act as the ultimate observation tool.

The new light-driven robot looks like a plume. Its controllers control that machine by using light. The robot itself looks like a plume. That makes it very interesting. The artificial plume can land on the human body and observe things like neural electric signals. That new nano- or miniature robot can operate along with quadcopters that are transmitting signals to it.  The light gives power to that robot, but the same light can use to give commands to that robot's tiny computers. And that means they can slip into houses and other things. Those tiny robots can interact with larger quadcopters. And they can be the ultimate couple in the recon missions.  Miniature robots are always very interesting tools. And there are many problems with those systems. But those systems have a big opportunity in observation, recon, and all kinds of things.  The first one is how to make microchips that are agile enough. Those miniature robots can collect samples from liquids like oils. They can check

NASAs new DRACO engine takes a human to Mars in days.

"Artist concept of Demonstration for Rocket to Agile Cislunar Operations (DRACO) spacecraft, which will demonstrate a nuclear thermal rocket engine. Nuclear thermal propulsion technology could be used for future NASA crewed missions to Mars. (DARPA)" (Breaking Defense/NASA funding DRACO nuclear thermal rocket engine under deal with DARPA) DRACO (Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Operations) is one of the most interesting nuclear thermal rocket engines in the history of that kind of research project. The DRACO engine heats hydrogen to 5000 degrees Fahrenheit or 2570 degrees Celsius.  And the benefit of that kinds of systems is that their thrust is greater than electric propulsion. Nuclear thermal propulsion is like all other rocket engines. But it uses a nuclear reactor for expanding propellant.  That allows many types of operations. When we think about the power of nuclear thermal propulsion it's one of the most promising engine systems in interplanetary missions. I

Nuclear rockets are the most effective tools for civil and military operators.

"Illustration of a Mars transit habitat and nuclear propulsion system that could one day take astronauts to Mars. Credit: NASA" ScitechDaily.com/Could a Nuclear Thermal Rocket Engine Power a Trip to Mars? NASA and DARPA Are Testing) Nuclear thermal propulsion is a powerful system. It allows the possibility transfer spacecraft to Mars in a short time. If we compare that system with regular chemical rockets. Nuclear thermal propulsion is one of the most promising systems in the world for many other missions than just for the interplanetary drive.  The nuclear-powered systems can use to make repairments service to space telescopes. That is orbiting the sun far away from Earth. Also, nuclear-powered space shuttles can operate freely in the orbiting trajectory.  The nuclear-powered recon satellites or recon shuttles can wait at high orbiters. And then they can dive into the lower orbiter for their missions. And then return to a higher orbiter.  Small-size nuclear reactors can use

Is it possible to use asteroids as spacecraft?

The image above this text is David Hardy's vision of asteroid-looking spacecraft. The spacecraft has ion engines for maneuvers. In Hardy's vision is a possibility. The craft could be equipped with antimatter or powerful laser systems. That means it could defend itself against incoming asteroids. But that system could also bombard planets by using antimatter ions.  The fictional asteroid craft was created by equipping the asteroid with systems like ion engines and other things like self-defense lasers. And maybe that kind of system is possible in the future.  There was once a plan to use asteroids as bombs. In those plans. The creators of those kinds of weapons didn't mean to use natural asteroids. They planned to use aerodynamically shaped concrete profiles that will shoot against ground targets from the orbital trajectory. Those ammunitions destroy targets by using kinetic energy. And that's why those weapons are called meteorite bombers.  Using asteroids as spacecraft
