Meissner effect: the electromagnetic levitation.

“A long-standing mystery surrounding an unusual superconductor has taken a decisive turn. By carefully applying shear strain to ultrathin crystals of strontium ruthenate, researchers found that its superconducting transition temperature remains almost completely unchanged. Credit: Stock” (ScitechDaily, A 30-Year Superconductivity Mystery Just Took a Sharp Turn)

The Meissner effect is the key. Into. Ultimate stealth. And low noise flying. In the second image, you can see how the energy field or quantum field travels past the object, causing the lifting effect. The Meissner effect causes ideas. If researchers can create the material that avoids the situation where electron shells fall closer to the atom's core, it would make it possible. To create room-temperature superconductors. 

In superconductors, the material is in the Bose-Einstein state. That means their energy level is very low. The distance of electrons to the atom’s core is very long. When. Outside energy pushes atoms. It pushes. An atom’s electrons. To the atom’s core. When the outside quantum field transports energy into an atom. That effect. Pushes electrons. Close to each other. And the atom’s core. That raises energy density in the atom. That pushes atoms away from each other. And that destroys the superconducting.  

*********************************************************************

“Diagram of the Meissner effect. Magnetic field lines, represented as arrows, are excluded from a superconductor when it is below its critical temperature.” (Wikipedia, Meissner effect)

T= Real temperature

TC=Temperature critical. Critical temperature is the point. At which the object can form the surrounding quantum field. Which closes its particles inside one quantum field. The idea of the Meissner effect is that every particle is inside the quantum field. The particle that can be an elementary particle or atom is in the middle of its quantum field. When. 

The quantum field moves. The position of the particle in relation to the field changes. Because particles attempt to position themselves in the middle of their quantum fields. Moving that field. Moves particles. Theoretically, it is possible to create a quantum system that moves the craft in a way that seems to break natural laws. The system can hover using the Meissner effect. 

This requires that the entire craft’s shell turn into a superconductor. Then the system must only adjust the position of the quantum bubble that surrounds the superconducting craft. This means that the object attempts to position itself in the middle of the bubble. This thing moves the craft. 

The idea is a “stolen” or adjusted version of the idea that there is a dark matter halo that moves a galaxy. The dark energy will not affect matter. But if the source of dark energy is in dark matter. The dark matter. That sends dark energy, that is the wave movement. 

Dark energy. With. The source is in. Dark matter particles can affect. To Other. Dark matter particles. Dark energy moves. The dark matter halo around the galaxy. And because the galaxy attempts to position itself. Into the middle of the dark matter halo, moving that halo moves the galaxy. 

*********************************************************************

The Meissner effect in the superconductor is possible because particles in the superconducting material are in an extremely low-energy condition. There is no oscillation between particles. This means energy from outside travels to the superconductors. 

And then that energy pushes particles closer together. Those particles are inside one. A very large. Quantum field. When energy starts to travel from below to that object, those particles act. As. One entirety. This thing forms. An. An electromagnetic low-pressure or lower-energy area above the superconductor. The energy that comes from below pushes a superconducting object above the ground. The reason why the same effect cannot push other objects up is simple. 

The quantum field that pushes objects upward cannot travel between particles at higher temperatures. In the case of superconducting objects, the quantum field around objects doesn’t allow the pushing field travel in the objects. Those are in the superconducting condition. Because. There is no oscillation in the object, and that doesn’t allow the outside radiation to travel between particles. For making levitation, the lifting field must have a pushing effect. 

Into. A so large area that it can affect as many particles, that the electromagnetic shadow pushes the entirety up. The energy must not also travel in the object. When. We think of the possibility. Of using the Meissner effect. As levitation. It's possible to cover the surface with. Large number. Of superconducting particles. Those superconducting points can lift even large objects from the ground. Or they can decrease the weight of the object.

The new materials and inventions can mean a breakthrough in hypersonic technology.

The SR-71 and SR-72 "DarkStar" (Above)  are the fastest atmospheric aircraft. The SR-71 is the fastest known manned aircraft. with a speed of Mach 3.2 at 26,000 meters. The SR-72 can reach Mach 6 at high altitudes. The fastest air-breathing aircraft was X-43A, which reached a speed of Mach 12. But the X-43A was an air-launched single-use experimental aircraft. The retired SR-71 and SR-72 are systems that can be used many times. The SR-71 and SR-72 operate from normal runways. 

However, low-level high-speed flight faces challenges, primarily the thermal effects that can damage the aircraft's body.  

Whirls around the aircraft, known as turbulence, are one of the factors that limit hypersonic technology. The ability to remove whirls around the body could make a revolution in hypersonic technology. When an aircraft flies in the atmosphere, air flows over its body. If there is a small bulge on the body, that bulge creates a whirl that causes oscillation in the hypersonic body. The whirl acts like a roll.  One of the solutions. That can decrease the turbulence. It is making those bodies as smooth as possible. 

"Artist's concept of X-43A with scramjet attached to the underside." (Wikipedia, NASA X-43)

One solution could be a system that pushes airflow away from the body. If the aircraft can make the air layer against the body and wings as thin as possible, that removes turbulence. In some models. Things like superconducting magnets. Those that are on both sides of the aircraft can be used to push air away from the aircraft's body. The idea is that the system uses the Meissner effect. To create a thin air bubble around the aircraft. The superconducting magnets. Or the Meissner system can be used to create an acoustic bubble around the craft. The system benefits from the superconducting levitation effect. For pushing air away from the body. 

This thing makes. It is possible to create thin air conditions around the aircraft. The new materials that can transport heat out of the aircraft body. It can also make it possible to create systems that can travel with incredible speed. New materials like magic-angle graphene can pull thermal energy out from an aircraft’s body. 

“Diagram of a typical gas turbine jet engine” (Wikipedia, Turbojet)

“Diagram of a valved pulsejet. 

1 - Air enters through the valve and is mixed with fuel. 

2 - The mixture is ignited, expands, closes the valve, and exits through the tailpipe, creating thrust. 

3 - Low pressure in the engine opens the valve and draws in air.” (Wikipedia, Pulsejet) 

“Simple ramjet operation, with Mach numbers of flow shown”(Wikipedia, Ramjet)

“Diagram of principle of operation of a scramjet engine.” (Wikipedia, Scramjet)

The pulse-ramjets, or pulse scramjets, can be one of the answers to the hypersonic engine problems. The problem is that the blower wings of the turbojet don’t withstand the speed of Mach 6. In pulse-ramjets or scramjets, the combustion chamber has the shape of a ramjet and a scramjet engine. 

If the aircraft could make a molecular. Or an acoustic bubble around an aircraft. That system can make it possible to create low-flying ultra-fast aircraft solutions. The problem with hypersonic technology is the ramjet, or scramjet engine structure. Those systems don’t have blowers. So, the aircraft must travel at the speed of Mach 1 to ignite the ramjet engine. There is a possibility. To use regular turbojets to reach that speed. And then the system starts to drive fuel into ramjets. Then the iris closes the turbojet’s air intake. The answer can be the pulsejet engine. Or the flap system, which is used in the WWII V-1 “flying bomb”  missile engine. The pulsejet engine. That is shaped. The ramjet engine can be the answer. To the hypersonic system start problems. 

The flap ramjet.  Or pulse-ramjet, which uses a fuel and air mixture. Compressors drive in the combustion chamber. Then the system ignites that mixture. When speed is high enough, the compressor that drives oxygen into the combustion chamber shuts down. The flap system opens. The engine allows the air flow to travel to the ramjet engine. Another version. Is to use. The shock heating method could be used to ignite the ramjet. The system must only deny. The air flow to the front of the engine.

There is a possibility of using things like phonons to increase the pressure in the engines. The system can use coherent sound waves to press a fuel-air mixture against the wall of the combustion chamber. If the system can make a coherent sound wave. That can press a fuel-air mixture against the wall of the combustion chamber. If that pressure is high enough, that system can ignite a ramjet engine in a static position.

Satellites are primary targets in modern warfare.

If somebody wants to make killer satellites or satellite killers. That doesn’t need any fundamental technology. The hostile actor requires only large rockets. And the system that recognizes the satellite. Or if the actor wants to close some orbiters. That actor must shoot metal projectiles like nuts to create artificial Kessler Syndrome. This makes things like North Korea's large missiles dangerous. 

France confirms that it’s planning to shoot satellites directly from the ground by using directed energy weapons. Trump’s Golden Dome will transfer the weapons race into space, claim critics. But the fact is that the weapon race is already in space. Satellites play a vital role in modern warfare. And that’s why those systems are targeted for Anti-Satellite, ASAT systems. All big space countries. Can create some kind of satellite killers. Basically, all satellites can act as satellite killers if they are programmed to collide with other satellites. The first killer satellites were tested in the 1960s. 

The Soviets launched the so-called Istrebitel Sputnikov (IS) program to develop killer satellites. Satellites equipped with “special equipment”, like rockets or detonating warheads. To destroy space targets. In November 1968, 4 years after Polyot 1 and 2 were tested for a potential Satellite intercept, Kosmos 248 was successfully destroyed by Kosmos 252, which came within the 5km 'kill radius' and destroyed Kosmos 248 by detonating its warhead.” (Wikipedia, Istrebitel Sputnikov).

Those satellites were launched using Tsyklon rockets. After that. The Soviets started the Almaz and Polyus programs to develop the killer satellites and space combat stations. Those systems included miniature shuttles, MiG-105 “Spiral”, space rocket launchers, and satellites, equipped with machine guns. Things like FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment Systems) made those space systems very dangerous. This is why the U.S. Air Force created their ASAT weapon. After that, things are miniature satellite carriers are suspected. To operate also as ASAT weapons. The miniature satellite is one of the most capable ASAT systems. The miniature satellite can collide with other satellites. Satellite-killer is not the same thing as an anti-ballistic missile system. 

It can hide in the orbiter and then target other satellites. There are also plans to use giant Mylar bags against satellites. Those bags close satellites inside them. And then the puller satellite pulls those satellites into the atmosphere. The ground-based laser systems. These are tools that can destroy suspected satellites. Russians and Chinese are using lasers to blind reconnaissance satellites. The ground-based laser systems. Those that are on high mountains can destroy low-altitude orbiting satellites. Also, laser weapons. Those that are in high-flying aircraft can be effective ASAT systems. Those high-flying ASAT systems are good targets for the spaceborne kinetic, or directed energy weapons. 

Advanced technology in satellites makes it possible. To create radar satellites. That can observe areas of less than 30 centimeters. Those satellites play a primary role in the Ukraine war. And those satellites can be targets for the extended-range anti-radiation missile systems. The missile finds its target like all other anti-radiation missiles. And the low-orbiter satellites. Like IceEye can be those systems' primary targets. This is why those satellites require an effective self-defense capability. When an incoming ASAT missile is coming to the target, there is no time to react. Those missiles can be shot from fighters, bombers, submarines, and surface battle units. The same systems that defend satellites against incoming ASAT missiles can also destroy other satellites. If some FOBS system opens fire. There is not very much time to react. There are two types of this orbital system. 

The system that drops nuclear bombs to the ground. And another version that detonates over the target area. The FOBS system can use the 15-kiloton 200mm nuclear grenades. Or it can detonate above the target area, causing a powerful EMP pulse. The nuclear weapon that is hidden in the satellite can destroy the entire defense system. And this “GoldenEye” type weapon might not need to be released from the capsule. Those satellites don’t need the heat shield if some other satellite or space shuttle takes them into the cargo bay and returns to base. 

New threats are the so-called orbital trash cans. Those satellites are planned to collect space junk. Like satellites that have finished their career. The system can jam the satellite using an EMP pulse. And then that junk collector hijacks that satellite and returns it to the airbase. That kind of system. Can capture things like IceEye satellites. This means that the space is the new place for combatants. And who controls orbitals controls the world.

The new observation tools can revolutionize atomic-scale observation.

"Caption:This image depicts the radium atom’s pear-shaped nucleus of protons and neutrons in the center, surrounded by a cloud of electrons (yellow), and an electron (yellow ball with arrow)". (InterestingEngineering, MIT’s new method helps probe inside atom’s nucleus using electrons as ‘messengers)

“The team used the environments within molecules as a sort of microscopic particle collider. Scientists have developed a new method that can help them probe inside atom’s nucleus. Developed by researchers at MIT, the method uses the atom’s own electrons as “messengers” within a molecule to help probe inside the nucleus.” (InterestingEngineering, MIT’s new method helps probe inside atom’s nucleus using electrons as ‘messengers)

The radium fluoride molecule can help to analyze an atom’s nucleus. The system uses radium fluoride to transmit energy into the atom’s electron curtain. That curtain sends energy, or wave movement, into the atom’s nucleus. Reflecting radiation creates valleys and hills in the electron curtain. Those hills and valleys tell about the position of protons and neutrons. 

And then. Researchers can analyze atoms. Protons and neutrons. And their position. Every proton in the atom’s core is like a small magnet. And this system can tell why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe. The same system can make it possible. To create new ways to create nanomachines and nanostructures. The biggest advance in this method to analyze atoms is that. This system fits the table. Another advancement is that the system must not have as strong energy fields as previous systems. 

“Illustration of photon-photon scattering in the laboratory. Two green petawatt lasers beams collide at the focus with a third red beam to polarise the quantum vacuum. This allows a fourth blue laser beam to be generated, with a unique direction and colour, which conserves momentum and energy. Credit: Zixin (Lily) Zhang.” (ScitechDaily, Oxford Physicists Simulate Quantum “Light from Darkness” for the First Time)

Previous systems. That included kilometers-long accelerators. They were not very suitable for use in nanotechnology. Those previous systems used so much energy that the weak structures could be destroyed. The radium fluoride system uses radiation. That is lower energy than accelerators, which can disturb the nanotweezers. That could be acoustic or laser beams. Low-energy surveillance system. Will not disturb the process itself. The weakness in this kind of system is in radium. Radium is a very highly radioactive material. It is not possible to produce lots of radium fluoride. In the wrong hands, that material is very dangerous. 

Things like the ability to create light from emptiness are also things that can revolutionize nanotechnology. The synthetic color, or wavelength of the radiation, makes those laser tweezers more stable. The outside effects are not very strong in the cases where the system moves particles in the factory that uses laser tweezers. Nanotechnology can use those things. Into the more advanced ability to connect and disconnect atoms into molecules. The ability to affect a single bond. In chemical compounds is the thing. That can revolutionize nanotechnology. The Oxford method requires very high-power lasers. But someday that technology can turn right. 

If we think about a situation. That energy beam destroys an atom’s nucleus. The magnetic field can pull protons off the particle cloud. And then the remaining particles are neutrons. There is a possibility to accelerate neutrons by bombarding them with laser beams. Or maybe the magnetic fields can make that acceleration if a neutron is in the right position. The neutron has polarity. And that makes it possible to accelerate them using magnetic fields.

Curvity is the new way to control the drone swarms.

   Curvity is the new way to control the drone swarms. 

"Illustration of robots advancing artificial swarm intelligence inspired by the collective behaviors of birds, fish, and bees."(Rude Baguette, “Curvity Controls Robot Interactions”: Researchers Develop New Framework Allowing Robotic Swarms to Mimic Bird and Fish Group Behaviors)

Drone swarms could be the tool that can make almost everything. The idea is that drones can cooperate and connect their computing capacity when they must make complex decisions. Then the swarm can share missions to individual drones. When we think about robot swarms that can mimic things like bird swarms, those robots must know their position in the swarm. The answer to that question can be curvature or curvity. Rude Baguette tells the next things about curvity. 

“A key innovation of the study is the introduction of a new quantity termed “curvity.” This intrinsic charge-like quality allows a robot to curve in response to external forces, guiding its interactions with fellow robots. Each robot is assigned a positive or negative curvity value, which determines its behavior within the swarm. This innovative approach allows for the collective behavior of the swarm to be controlled, whether it involves flocking, flowing, or clustering.”  (Rude Baguette, “Curvity Controls Robot Interactions”: Researchers Develop New Framework Allowing Robotic Swarms to Mimic Bird and Fish Group Behaviors)

Assistant Professor Stefano Martiniani from New York University emphasized the potential of this approach: “This curvature drives the collective behavior of the swarm, potentially controlling whether the swarm flocks, flows, or clusters.” Such a model transforms the challenge of controlling swarms from complex programming into a material science issue, opening new avenues for research and application.” (Rude Baguette, “Curvity Controls Robot Interactions”: Researchers Develop New Framework Allowing Robotic Swarms to Mimic Bird and Fish Group Behaviors)

Sharing the system into substructures that mimic galactic groups makes it easier to create programs for robots. Each layer or level acts as one robot. 

The system can involve the next type of information. 

“You are a robot of robot group 9. Robots 1 and 2 must be ahead of you. And robot 4 must be on the left side of you. Together, you are Robot Swarm 2, and Swarms 1 must be on your side, and Swarms 3 and 4 must be behind you. Together, your place is in layer 3. That layer must be between layer 2 and 4.” Then the system has other algorithms that tell what to do if one drone is lost. 

The key question is how the robot can determine its position within the swarm. In this case, the modular structure is the solution. There can be multiple data levels, which makes the data structure operate as a mosaic. Or, rather, we can say that the structure mimics the universe. There are individual drones that are galaxies in galactic clusters. Then those drone clusters form a local cluster. Then, local clusters form a super cluster. And then the superclusters form a global cluster. Those clusters are the drone swarms. The ability to share the groups into subgroups makes it easier to program those drones. 

The idea is that the drones can form three or four drone groups. The individual drone knows. What drones are behind it, and what drones are ahead of it? The drone group acts like one drone. And then it must know what drone group is ahead and behind it. Then the drone group must know. Whether it should be above or below some of the other drones. The system can make that quite easily. It can share the drone swarm into layers. And those drones know their own layer. And then they know what drones should be below and what should be above it. Those drones can operate in squares. That can look like randomly changing forms.

Unpredictable actions make human behavior hard to predict.

  Unpredictable actions make human behavior hard to predict. 

"To be, or not to be" 

98% of generative AI projects fail. The reason for that is that researchers try to replace humans. But is this the only thing that causes failures? Another thing that can cause failure is this: people try to use AI for purposes. There, it cannot operate. When we think. About those cases, there is always a possibility that people misunderstand. Things about what they should do. There is a possibility that people try to use AI as a tool that makes something impossible. And one of those things is. To use the AI. To make predictions about economics. 

Economics, psychology, and sociology are not exact sciences like mathematics and physics. The AI can calculate things like the energy levels of particles quite easily. If it knows all quantum fields. And all other things. That interacts with that thing. A psychological effect. Makes it impossible to make predictions about the economic advances. Human behavior is unpredictable. When we go out and say. We go for a walk. For 30 minutes. But we might not do that thing. 

Feelings and imagination are things. That allows us to make unpredictable things. 

We should always react to similar stress in similar ways. But we use only successful ways to respond to the challenges. If we don’t get successful feedback. We change the method. How to respond to the challenge. Every action that we do is a small challenge. When we cross the road, there is always a possibility that a car will hit us. When we walk to the shop, there is always a possibility that we slip on the icy street. That’s why there must be an alternative route. 

There is always a possibility that a burglar breaks into the shop, and the police keep the shop closed. Or the milk car can have an engine failure. Causing a lack of milk in the shop. Most everyday challenges involve a risk of injury. Or even die. If we cannot act right. If we just run to the road. Without caring about anything, there is a possibility that we run straight under the car. 

We can make a U-turn just outside the door and walk back in. We can change our direction for any visible reason. The reason why we make that U-turn could be that we just want to turn around. When a particle turns its direction, there must be some outside reason. The behavior of the particles and radiation is predictable. If we know the entirety. And the thing that makes us unpredictable is feelings. If we feel that we cannot accept something, we don’t do that thing, even if our sense says something else. 

This makes things like economics hard to predict. We should have knowledge of how certain persons react. In certain situations. But the problem is that we cannot know everything that the person faced during their life. And those missing parts can be the most. important things for that person. This is why it’s hard to predict how people react in certain situations. 

One of the reasons why behavior models are failing is that people hide data. Making predictions of the behavior of large groups of humans is much easier. When the group that AI uses grows. That means that the accuracy in the behavior of those people increases. But when we try to predict the behavior of a single person. We must collect all the data of them. We can see from that data how a person reacts to certain situations. If that person faces a similar situation. We can predict when. That person faces a similar situation again. That person will always act in a similar way in all similar situations if the way the person used was successful. 

The thing that makes us unpredictable gives us a big advantage over our competitors. The ability to make unpredictable moves and solutions makes predators hard. To track. And hunt us down. This is the ultimate ability in nature. Abstract thinking is the tool. That gives us the ability to make plans. That gives us the ability to operate unpredictably. 

Solar-powered drones and hypersonic technology are ultimate tools.

  Solar-powered drones and hypersonic technology are ultimate tools. 

"Because Skydwellers are solar-powered, they are green with zero carbon footprint." (Interesting Engineering, Drone with Boeing 747-sized wingspan flies 74 hours non-stop on only solar power)

New solar-powered drones can be far more effective than anyone expected. 

In some scenarios, solar-powered drones can be utilized for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeting purposes. Solar-powered drones can fly far higher than regular, jet-engined drones. If a solar-powered drone is made using stealth materials and uses low-visibility technology. Those systems can fly far above target areas, record radar signals, and observe communication tasks. And other things. Using different types of optical and radar scanners. The drone itself leaves a minimum IR and radar signature, and that system can transmit information about the battlefield to headquarters. 

Controllers can use laser data communication with those systems. The high-flying drone, or pseudo-satellite. Can make a similar mission. With satellites. And the difference is their flexibility. The large-sized drone can also transport rockets and missiles, and it can operate as a flying launching platform for satellite carriers as well as large missiles. 

The high-flying drones can see things. Like hypersonic missile launches, it can give early warning signals to the HQ. The hypersonic missile is one of the most critical things in modern warfare. If the large-sized Intercontinental ballistic missile, ICBM, launches the hypersonic missile. The flight trajectory would be a high-parabolic. 

A winged V-2 /A-4b) rocket is the atmospheric missile’s stem form. The wing’s idea was to give that primitive missile the external range. That missile had the purpose to bomb New York, but its test flights began in spring 1945. Some of them could fly in White Sands, USA, after WWII. 

The missile transports the hypersonic system to a high trajectory, and then the hypersonic missile dives back to the atmosphere and launches its ramjet or scramjet engine. The trajectory makes the hypersonic missile launch quite hard to detect. The launch may seem like a rocket failure. That means hypersonic missiles are tools that are hard for defense.  That’s why those early warning and defense systems require updating. 

There is a possibility that giant ICBM missiles like “Sarmats” can transport those hypersonic missiles to their targets. The system can be based on the technology used in “Brahmos” missiles. The hypersonic missile can replace the upper stage, or stages, in an ICBM. Another version of the hypersonic missiles is the so-called atmospheric missiles. The atmospheric missile is a hypersonic missile. That uses a regular rocket engine to give speed. The missile can have wings and a steering wing. This changes the symmetry in the rocket engine’s exhaust gas. Which turns the missile. The atmospheric missile can have a selectable flight profile. That system can fly like a normal missile. But it can have an atmospheric flight profile.
