One little point about nuclear weapons




 One little point about nuclear weapons

One thing, why NATO has been established is that the small Western European countries wanted that the nuclear weapons of the United States would protect them against Russia or the Soviet Union. The membership of that military alliance hoped to bring the nations under the Nuclear Umbrella. 

Then two European NATO countries the United Kingdom (1) and France (2) created their nuclear deterrence for their protection because they were afraid that the USA would not protect them against the Soviet Union and its allies. That thing delivered the pressure from the USA to other countries and the independent nuclear weapons of France and the United Kingdom highlighted the independence of the NATO countries. The United Kingdom was the first and it exploded its first fission weapon in 1952 and hydrogen bomb in 1956. 

France made its first fission weapon test in 1960 and the first fusion weapon test in 1968. Today the UK has the stockpile of 214 nuclear warheads and France has 300 nuclear warheads in storage. (1)(2).

In the Warsaw pact the only state, that had nuclear detonators was the Soviet Union. That thing was used as the propaganda weapon, and the thing was that the Soviet Union treated its allies by using nukes as the threat.  

In NATO those weapons are under the national command. So not a single nuclear detonator is not owned by NATO. 

NATO is the military and defensive alliance. It has not owned nuclear weapons under NATO military control. Three NATO states the USA, France, and the United Kingdom are states with national nuclear weapons. And this thing makes the role of NATO more problematic than we ever expect. 

Does that mean that what if the NATO troops would be lost conventional campaigns in Europe? What is the limit of the use of Nuclear weapons in that case? If NATO is under threat and outnumbered, that means that there would be also other nations than the USA, what would want to use nuclear weapons as the final change? And the thing is that what if the tanks of Russia would come too far, and the attack or campaign cannot be stopped? 

When the governments of the United Kingdom or France would start the nuclear attack against Russia? This kind of case would be possible if the USA would leave its allies, and some side would start the aggression. The nuclear policy is one of the most secretive things in the world, and if NATO loses its spine in the critical moment, the conflict can be started. And then the case is about the "limited nuclear warfare", what can expand to the global nuclear conflict.

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 ...
