Artificial intelligence and the Internet are changing the way to make science also in the field of astronomy.

Outsourcing computing would revolutionize astronomy. In this case, outsourcing means that the data is processed other place than in observatory. The collected data is sending over the Internet to the supercomputers, what are analyzing three data, and search for interesting things about that data. The thing is that even we don't normally think about this kind of things the artificial intelligence can search non-stop the data, what is collected from the space, and then that system can alarm immediately if it sees the abnormalities in the dataflow.

But those computers are extremely sharp, and they ever get tired, and they also can analyze the long term records and archives for finding the unnatural- or otherwise interesting changes and cycles in records of data, what is collected from the space. When we are thinking about the Internet, it allows connecting multiple telescopes, what is operating in different areas of the electromagnetic spectrum. That makes possible to observe targets by connecting optical, infrared and other wavelengths.

One of the greatest advantages for science is The Internet allows to connect also space telescopes what are observing gamma- and X-ray frequencies as well with the spaceborne radiotelescopes, what can observe radio frequencies what are filtered by the atmosphere. There are ideas to create very large radio telescopes in the area behind the Moon. In the space, nothing limits the size of structures.

And this thing allows creating a new type of radio telescopes, which can be very lightweight but at the same time extremely powerful. The idea is to connect two small rockets to the Agena stage or other satellites by using very thin metal wires. Then those rockets start to orbit the satellite, and that would make that metal wire rotate extremely fast.

That makes possible to create the extreme large radio antenna what can collect very weak radio signals. When we are thinking about that system, the radio waves, what are captured or observed by that system can send straight to the Earth. And that allows the system might need only the digital amplifier, and then the signal processing would happen in the supercomputer center.

Maybe those things are looking like meanless, but that thing makes possible to keep the orbiting device cheap. The thing is that the device, what would send to space need only the digital amplifier, and the system that would send the data to Earth for analyzing. That allows using those supercomputers also for other purposes, which will decrease the price of the program.

Because of the computers must not buy separately for that program, that makes easier to get funding for that kind of system, and this kind of technology allows to scan multiple radio frequencies in the same time. These kinds of systems that collect data from multiple radio antennas and optical telescopes, and combine those observations could maybe someday find the Earth-like planets and even another civilizations from some distant planets.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som...

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper?  The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown.  But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with t...

The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862)

Image I The interesting coincidence between  USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862) Far away from its time is the thing, that you might notice when you see those two images. The upper one (Image I) is portraying the modern naval USS Sea Shadow (IX-529)(1) experimental Stealth ship, which was created by Lockheed-Martin, and the image below (Image II) is portraying the CSS Virginia (2), the ironclad from the Civil War Era. The thing why the hull of the CSS Virginia, what is ironclad from 1862 is that the ammunition of the cannons would not transfer their impact energy to the hull of the ship. And the reason why Sea Shadows hull has this form is that it should point the radar echo away from the hull.  The thing that I must say that CSS Virginia is far ahead its time because that structure is effective against the explosive ammunition, and the slanting armor of tanks like T-34 and Sherman have made them effective. But for some reason, the use of slanting ...
