Stratolaunch Talon A: A reusable hypersonic system. It reaches Mach 5+. 10+ times.

The Talon A is a hypersonic, air-launched concept. That system has 10+ successful launches. The thing that makes this aircraft interesting. It’s that this system is reusable. So. When Talon A is released from its mothership. It can complete its mission and return to base. This system could act as a long-range reconnaissance drone. These kinds of systems could penetrate the airspace. And search for interesting objects. 

The hypersonic ramjet-driven system. It can also act as a space transporter and ASAT system. The hypersonic, air-breathing system. It can use a so-called rocket ramjet.  The rocket ramjet engine. Or. So-called flap ramjet. There is a hatch at the air inlet. When. The aircraft moves in the atmosphere. That system takes oxygen from the air. When. It transfers it out from the atmosphere. The ramjet-engined reusable system. It can be used to accelerate a plane to that speed. There is the scramjet engine. It can be started. 

Talon A dropped from the mothership. 

The air hatch closes. And the system transfers to using internal oxygen. The system is basically similar to the flap engine of the WWII German Fi-103, V1 flying bombs. But the shape of the engine tube is different. This system turns the hypersonic system capable of operating outside the atmosphere. 

“X-15 after igniting rocket engine”. (Wikipedia, X-15)

But. The Talon A-type systems. They can also be part of R&D work with larger, more capable systems. The SR-72 DarkStar is one of those new systems. The Ramjet and Scramjet-based technology is the thing.  That can make new jet fighters more deadly. The hypersonic technology is not a new idea. Since the 1960s, test planes like the X-15 have been used to test technology. That allows aircraft to travel at speeds that are above Mach 3. Top speed of the X-15. It was about Mach 6,70. X-15 made that record in 1968 in the program’s final flight. 

“Lockheed Martin SR-72 concept” (ScitechDaily, Lockheed Martin SR-72)

The X-15 rocket plane. It was calculated. That. It could transport a 68 kg satellite. To orbit. The X-15 was a rocket. That had wings. The reaction engine could operate in space.

The Ramjet engine uses oxygen from air. But it's easy to transform into a rocket ramjet. The flap at the air inlet. It must only be closed. And the plane. It must be transferred to use an internal oxygenizer. That allows the system to operate in space.  Small-sized ramjet and scramjet-based systems. They can be launched from mothership planes. But. Larger-sized systems require some other technology. The space plane. That operates from runways. It can use regular turbine engines. To accelerate the aircraft to a speed where the ramjet can start. When that system travels to the edge of space. It. Transforms to use an internal oxygenizer.

Brains might use different languages in external and internal communication.

Brains might not use natural language for logical reasoning. Or they don’t use language. That we can use in a verbal form. This means that the brain’s internal communication requires a different communication protocol. Than humans use in communication with other people. We can call those protocols languages. But logic doesn’t need a similar language. As we use in speech. Logic needs communication. And a way of communication. It can be different. But we can call that communication “language”. 

We understand natural languages as language. That we speak and write. But nature is full of languages that we cannot use in verbal communication. Things like hormonal and pheromone-based chemical communication. It's very common. Most of the neuron’s mutual communication is a combination of electric and chemical signals. So that means those communications. They are also natural. But the key component in information is this. Brains must have an ability to separate external and internal signals. 

Brains are very complicated structures. They contain many hidden neural networks and hidden layers. We know that only a small part of the brain's internal communication reaches consciousness. 

This raises an idea. That maybe humans use different languages to communicate with other people. Than brains use their internal communication. So could the cerebral cortex. The diencephalon and brainstem use different communication languages for internal communication. 

If the brainstem uses the same language for internal communication as the cerebral cortex. That could disturb the brainstem's internal communication. And that can cause death. The brainstem controls vital functions like blood pressure, pulse, and other things. In some models. The diencephalon has a mission. It is to translate brain signals from the cerebral cortex. To the brainstem. If those three brain layers use the same language. That can be hard. To separate the signals. And that can cause problems. 

When we expand this model. We can say that maybe all brain areas, including the cerebellum, have different languages. The cerebrum and cerebellum have different languages. But brain lobes like the frontal lobes and temporal lobes. They use different types of dialects. That helps the brain separate signals. That come from a certain area. And that helps to keep those signals in order. This is important. When. Brains make decisions. About the reactions to a certain stimulus. Every stimulus requires a different type of response. 

So. The use. Of different languages. In internal and external communication protects brains. 

It’s possible that all human brain areas use different types of language. If we want to use computing as a model. How the brain analyzes information, we must take note of. Computers have three types of programming code. The lower-level programming code. That code connects the hardware to software. The operating system level. And the highest part is the program. All three main layers are made using different types. Of programming language. 

Those three layers are meant for internal computer communication. The network communication uses other protocols and languages. Than the computer internal data flow. But then we can transform that model to the human brain. If human brains use different languages than humans use in communication with other people. That protects the brain from outside effects. In this model, information comes to the brain. through the brain area. That is reserved for a certain sense. When other humans speak. Data travels in the brain lobe. 

That handles those types of signals. Information travels to the Broca lobe. There, those neurons translate that signal into the form. That. The brain understands it. If humans. Use the same language for internal and external communication. That thing causes a situation. That other person can take another person under control. Because external communication is different. Than the brain's internal communication. Brains realize. That data comes from external sources.

Can there be quantum mechanics without imaginary numbers?

Above: Complex numbers. Imaginary parts are marked by i. 

In the beginning. I must say that it's always possible to calculate a point in 3D spacetime. Very accurately. The movement of the object by introducing . Only the series of coordinates of the path. The object followed. Qw cannot draw a 3D image on a 2D layer. But we can list the points. In a 3D coordinate system, there are three coordinate axes (X,Y,Z).  

That the object’s trajectory followed. This list looks like this: (3,1,1) (3,2,2) (2,3,3), but. We cannot draw that graph. By using one coordinate system. If we could share those coordinates in three parts: (X , Y), (X, Z), and (Y, Z). We could introduce a 3D graph on a 2D layer. By sharing the 3D coordinates in three different coordinate systems. 

“Quantum mechanics has long relied on complex numbers to describe the strange behavior of particles, from tunneling to entanglement. A new analysis suggests that this mathematical language may not be fundamental after all. Credit: Stock” (ScitechDaily, Quantum Mechanics May Not Need Imaginary Numbers After All)

Imaginary numbers play a big role in quantum mechanics. Imaginary numbers are part of complex numbers. The first part of the complex number. It is used to determine the particle’s position in space. An imaginary part determines the particle’s energy level. This is the classical way to determine a particle’s position in 2D space. Now researchers are investigating the possibility of making those calculations using only normal numbers. This kind of possibility is the thing. That could make it easier to make those calculations. There is a possibility. That is, the imaginary part of the complex number is replaced. By using two different calculations. That means the primary and imaginary parts of the number. 

They are simply calculated. In different calculations, but using the same formula. In normal imaginary calculations with complex numbers. The complex number’s real and imaginary parts. Can be calculated separately. All of those calculations. They can be made by using real numbers. The system must just calculate vectors. Those are from different angles. We can imagine a situation. The 3D model of the space is transformed into a series of 2D models. The horizontal and vertical positions can be introduced with two different 2D layers. 

“Explanatory diagram for the research question—is quantum mechanics possible with only real numbers?—and results of the study. Credit: Pedro Barrios Hita, HHU” (ScitechDaily, Quantum Mechanics May Not Need Imaginary Numbers After All)

This means that the researcher can use three regular 2D coordinates. To introduce the object’s position in X,Y,Z axes. The normal X,Y coordinates can be used to improvise the position in the 3D space. The first coordinates are regular X,Y. And the others. They are the X,Z, and Y,Z coordinates. If the system must not draw images. The positions of the objects. They can be introduced very accurately using regular coordinates. X,Y, Z. This is the thing for. The system introduces positions in 3- or more-dimensional spacetime as a list of coordinates. So, we could use this model to introduce the positions. And energy levels in quantum mechanics. The system can use different coordinates for the energy levels and positions. This means that the number of those coordinates. They can be increased without limits.

Killer satellites and kinetic bombardment.

Space has a bigger role in military operations than ever before. 

China’s Shelong shuttle, which delivers and collects strange objects from the orbiter, causes worries. There is a possibility. This small shuttle has similar missions. With. The Soviet-era “Polyus” rocket. That rocket could deliver space mines and other things. Wikipedia tells. That Polyus could carry a 1 megawatt laser system. Those kinds of systems are also dangerous against high-flying targets. There is also the possibility that Polyus could cause fires. But the system. It was dangerous to other satellites. Similar structures. That look like space stations. They can involve this kind of laser system. And megawatt-class lasers are dangerous. 

In the same way, things like power satellites. They can be weaponized. The power satellite. That uses its power transmitter to other satellites. It could destroy them immediately. And those electromagnetic signals can also damage electric systems on Earth. Or those satellites. They can also jam command lines. And disturb radars. 

The space mine is a satellite. It involves nuclear- or conventional explosives. That system waits for targeted satellites. And detonates near them. Many people forget the neutron bomb. It is created for anti-satellite (ASAT) and anti-ballistic missile (ABM) systems. The neutron bomb. Or, an enhanced radiation weapon (ERW) gives gamma radiation. And a neutron radiation burst. And that burst is hoped to create an EMP pulse. 

That range is smaller. Than in the cases where a full-scale nuclear weapon is detonated. The solution would be to detonate that neutron bomb in the air tank. That makes it possible to create the EMP. The EMP formation happens. When gamma rays hit the atmosphere. The satellites are safe against the low-power EMP. If they fly high enough. But if the neutron bomb detonates in the air tank. That launches a similar effect as the normal EMP weapon. 

China’s next-generation satellite engine provides 14 hours of operational time. That time seems very long. And the 14 hours of operational time allow the satellite to change its trajectory. These types of maneuvers. They are interesting. But at the same time, those abilities cause suspicion about the purpose of those engines and satellites. These types of engine systems are also suitable for reconnaissance satellites. That requires fast and unpredictable overflight capacity. But killer satellites and FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment Systems) require the same abilities. One version of FOBS is kinetic bombardment. 

This type of technology is a tool that can make killer satellites more deadly than before. A killer satellite is a space fighter. It can attack other satellites. The killer can use rockets, railguns, centrifugal railguns, and laser systems to destroy its targets. The centrifugal railgun is the system. It uses a centrifugal platform. To throw ammunition. Into the magnetic accelerators. Those magnetic accelerators are the Gauss accelerators. They accelerate ammunition by using magnets. That ammunition requires something. There is the magnet. It can touch. Another version is the plasma solutions. Their plasma is used to accelerate ammunition. 

And the electric arc expands the gas. That pushes the ammunition into the tube. But the centrifugal-gauss accelerator combination. Gives the most powerful speed. To the ammunition. Things like Project Thor were the orbital bombardment project. The goal was to research a spaceborne railgun.  The system should accelerate metal flechettes. To a speed of Mach 24. The Pentagon abandoned that project. The problem was that the system was not accurate enough. The kinetic bombardment could be an effective tool against single houses and things like tanks and ships. The big problem was in the aiming system. Another thing that those kinetic bombardment systems could do. They could do. Is to offer defense against high-flying hypersonic missiles. 

Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS) compared to a traditional ICBM (Wikipedia, FOBS)

"The T-shaped structure of the China Space Station. /China Manned Space Agency" (CGTN)

“China leads in satellite navigation despite launch challenges.” (IE)

“The same microwave beams meant to send energy from space could also control signals on Earth.” (IE)

“Polyus on the Energia rocket”. (Wikipedia, Polyus)

W9 280mm Artillery Fired Atomic Projectile. (Wikipedia, Upshot–Knothole Grable)

Above: One of the smallest nuclear weapons. Davy Crockett  at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, 1961. The yield of that weapon. It was about 20 tons of TNT. That is twice as much as the 10-ton MOP bombs that were used against Iranian nuclear laboratories. In the so-called subcritical nuclear weapons, the remarkable power of the explosion comes from the conventional explosion. The system is the weaponized version of the subcritical nuclear reactor.

 “A subcritical reactor is a nuclear fission reactor concept that produces fission without achieving criticality. Instead of sustaining a chain reaction, a subcritical reactor uses additional neutrons from an outside source. There are two general classes of such devices. One uses neutrons provided by a nuclear fusion machine, a concept known as a fusion–fission hybrid. The other uses neutrons created through spallation of heavy nuclei. By charged particles such as protons accelerated by a particle accelerator, a concept known as an accelerator-driven system (ADS) or accelerator-driven subcritical reactor.” (Wikipedia, Subcritical reactor)

For work right. The reaction must be very fast. 

There is a possibility that this kind of small nuke will be put at the bottom of the GPU 57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP). And then detonate in that bomb. The system will give a very big boost. For a conventional anti-bunker bomb. The anti-bunker bomb that could be delivered using ballistic missiles. It can detonate ballistic missiles at their launching sites. And the nuclear-powered anti-bunker bombs. They can be very effective. The Davy Crockett-type micro nukes cause criticism. They are claimed to remove the line between conventional and nuclear warheads. And decrease the line. To use nuclear weapons. 

The kinetic bombardment will not be effective at ruining cities. The FOBS systems. The spaceborne nuclear weapons. That could be installed. Into the satellites. The EMP bomb that lurks in the satellite. That could detonate without warning. And those systems are dangerous for all types of electronics. The EMP pulse. It can shut down the communication antennas. And cause critical damage. To avionic systems and other electric components. The smart weapons. They can also turn ineffective. 

That is another thing that causes worries. People sometimes think that FOBS is some kind of big nuclear weapon. The FOBS system. It can use nuclear grenades. The 280mm nuclear grenade. It is not a very big thing. Same way as the neutron bomb. It could be quite a small thing. Neutron bomb. It can also detonate targets like ships. If they get direct hits from those weapons. 

The FOBS doesn’t necessarily mean nuclear weapons. The FOBS system. It can deliver glide bombs that are equipped with a heat shield. Or the orbital bombardment system. It can deliver drones. In the atmosphere. Kinetic systems can also be rockets. That satellite shoots into its targets. The kinetic attack system. It can be regular aerial rockets. Equipped. With a ceramic core. Those systems can drop or launch those rockets just above the target. There is also the possibility. That the concrete bombs. They can be dropped from space. 

In scenarios, the FOBS weapon mimics space junk. Sometimes. Satellites whose operational time is over. Will be launched on a high-altitude trajectory. Those FOBS satellites can lurk in that satellite graveyard. When they get their orders. They fall to a lower trajectory. Or straight to the target. Same way as a satellite fighter. That mission is to demosh other satellites. It can hide in that region. The system. It can launch miniature satellites that push other satellites away from their trajectories. In some other scenarios, the system. It could shoot small soft ammunition at the targeted satellites. 

That system can involve an electric shock system. That jams the satellite. The soft structure. It helps to keep targeted satellites in one piece. And the ammunition just pushes them  into the atmosphere. This kind of system can be effective against low-orbiting photo reconnaissance satellites. Another version could be a neutron bomb. That detonates in the air tank. This can create a destructive EMP pulse with a limited area effect. Another version is the hydro-oxygen tank. That detonates in water. This kind of system. They can create a material wall. That pushes satellites. Out of their trajectory.

The ability to change networks is a new tool for AI.

"An artist’s concept of the Polylingual Experimental Terminal (PExT) transmitting data. Credit: NASA/Morgan Johnson" ScitechDaily)

The AI is the frame that connects network segments. Into one entirety. In robot technology. One robot group, or a drone swarm. Operates under individual network segments. The ability to switch between networks helps to spread information through multiple robot groups. 

The new technology allows the spacecraft to switch networks during flight. And that technology can be fundamental to training AI-based aviation and robotics technology. The same technology. That works with the spacecraft works with drones. And that’s why the ability. To change. Between networks is a tool that makes it easier to train robots. The AI can spread that information across the network. The feedback system can collect information. And deliver it into the digital twin. That operates in simulation. The simulation is the imagination of the AI. The AI can use digital twins for a self-learning process. 

The robot can be part of the training network while the operators train it. And then the robot switched to the operational network. So the robot can transfer its training to other robots in the network. And that is the next-generation tool that can make AI-based robot training effective. The system. It can also bring new skills. For robots, oppositely. The remote-controlled robot. It can act as the pioneer. The robot can get its mission data from the operational network. And then it can transfer that data to the training networks. Or training interface. There, the other robots can take that information. Or in the cases of the military simulation, the other robots try to find weaknesses. 

From those tactics. The ability to switch between networks is the thing. That can save the system. In the case of computer viruses. Or other types of corruption. If drone swarms can switch between networks, that increases their immunity against jammer systems. These types of tools. They can also get information and then spread it. Through all of those systems. The prime mover can collect information. And then deliver it over the drone swarms. And that makes those systems fundamental. The platforms. That mission is to get information. They can operate in different networks than the prime attack actors. And that is one of the principles in the AI-controlled drones. 

Computer viruses can be a big threat to AI-based systems. The attacker can slip virus code into the robots by spoofing the robot’s control signals. Maybe attackers cannot take drones. In control. But they can destroy the command algorithms. 

When we think about movies like The Terminator, we always forget one thing. AI-controlled robots are not like humans. They are operating as an entity. All of those robots communicate with each other. They form the network. That means that when one robot sees or hears something. Other robots hear something. When somebody tries to destroy one Terminator. That robot sends information to others. That forms the robot groups or swarms. This means that. Those counteractions just teach those robots and AI to operate more effectively. The same thing. That affects humanoid robots, which affects other types of robots. This means that drone swarms must be in their own network segment. The robot is always vulnerable to computer viruses. So, if one of those network segments is polluted. The other segments will stay clean. 

One of the new threats that the AI-controlled drones can face is computer viruses. Those viruses can destroy the most complex algorithms in minutes. The AI-based tools. They can make it possible. To generate new viruses very fast. This means that the AI-based drones require new protective applications. There is a possibility that computer viruses will slip into the system in the command code. The attacker will try to infect those drones by spoofing the control signals. And that can cause a situation. There, the computer virus can destroy the control algorithms. That makes AI helpless.

Is this the new F-47 concept?

Above:  Is  this the new F-47 concept?

Images from AREA-51 introduce a strange, possible hypersonic stealth aircraft. This mystery aircraft uses the “Christmas tree” stealth technology, if the article in the TWZ is right. This means that the first flying prototypes of the F-35 successor are airborne. The fact is this. The F-35 is one of the most fundamental aircraft types on Earth. 

The aircraft has shown its superiority in Iran and other conflicts. And it's the state-of-the-art technology. But the permission to export that aircraft is the thing that causes suspicion that something more fundamental than the F-35 Lightning II is already operational. And maybe that interesting-looking concept is some kind of part of that thing. The new 6th-generation jet fighter. It will be faster, capable of hypersonic speed. The hypersonic system can drop drones into the atmosphere.

The idea of a jet fighter that can make a ballistic jump out of the atmosphere.  And return is not new. In the late. WWII. Nazis conducted theoretical research with a project called “Sibervogel” (Silver Bird). The idea was to create the trans-atmospheric vehicle, TAV. The suborbital bombers are also planned in the Soviet Union. But the Sibervogel was too complicated for the 1940s technology. And that system remained as a concept ark. 

The TAV vehicle could deliver a 45 kg concrete projectile to the target. The speed of those projectiles could be Mach 4 to 10. The project was too complicated. But the idea of the hypersonic aircraft. 

"Sibervogel" concept

X-15

The SR-72 Darkstar

That could jump out of the atmosphere. And then release. A kinetic energy ammunition to target remains. The X-15 rocket planes launched under the B-52. Those rocket planes were pathfinders for space shuttles. But during that project, USAF researchers developed the ability to create the space fighter.  This kind of system can act as a “super A-10”. 

The hypersonic aircraft that shoots concrete bullets at the target can cause a devastating effect. Another thing. Tha. This kind of aircraft. can carry ASAT weapons. The hypersonic aircraft that carries anti-satellite missiles. It can be a very powerful tool. The SR-72 Darstar is a more advanced concept. That can.be used as a base for the F-47 program.

The Darkstar is as fast as X-15. So, it can have many fundamental roles. The speed of both systems is about Mach 6. 

The hypersonic aircraft can travel to very high altitudes. And maybe, even to jump outside the atmosphere. This system must also have the capacity. To cooperate with drone swarms and other autonomous and semi-autonomous systems. The new AI-based systems are more fundamental than people expect. When the jet fighter pilot operates. The highly advanced jet fighters, like the F-35. Those pilots also train things like AI-controlled digital twins of the jet fighter. The digital twin can operate as an opponent in highly advanced simulations. But those digital twins.

They can be used to control AI-controlled aircraft. There are many suspicions about those next-generation jet fighter systems. And one is that. Maybe there are manned and unmanned versions of those futuristic jet fighters. That should be more advanced and more capable than jet fighters that are already in use. The new jet fighters can have both manned and unmanned versions. 

And they can cooperate with a loyal wingman and other drones. Their computers and telecommunication systems. They can cooperate with other aircraft, unmanned systems, and ground. And ship-based observation platforms. And that means they are acting as centrons in the very complex automated systems. But then we must realize that things like EMP and high-power jammers. They can damage that communication interface.

Robots as space researchers.

“Illustration of robotic dogs exploring lunar lava tubes.” (Rude Baguette)

When we think about manned Mars flight. The first creatures that travel to the Red planet can be robots. The human-shaped robots. And robot dogs can research the red planet. And in the visions, the AI-controlled robots can even make the base. And when humans arrive, they just take keys and step in. The AI-controlled robots can research the solar system without risking lives. Robot researchers solve the problem of long space journeys. And if we think about the possibility of traveling to planets like Jupiter and Saturn, we could make that journey virtually. The VR and BCI systems allow communication with robots. 

A person would be physically on the Moon or Mars. There is a small delay in the data signal traveling from outer planets. But the AI-based interactive interfaces can solve the control problem. So, maybe we cannot physically travel to the outer planets. Or even solar systems at the speed of light. But we can send robots to those places. And then receive information that those systems send. This means that we can make virtual journeys anywhere we want. And that opens new visions for space research. It also opens new views to things like UAPs. 

Voyager probe. 

Maybe aliens will ever visit our solar system. But they can send the probes to other stars. And maybe in the future. We will send robot crafts to research outer planets, and even to Alpha Centauri.  AI-controlled probes can carry humanoid robots. In those cases, the journeys can last hundreds of years. In the cases that we know from our history. The first things that we sent to the Moon. And to solar systems were probes. 

The first probes that humans sent to the Moon were immersion probes. Researchers who sent the first Luna and Ranger probes to the Moon. Let those probes. Impact with the Moon. The Soviet Luna 9 was the first soft lander on the Moon in 1966. 

Ranger 7 probe. 

Researchers who sent those probes, like Voyagers 1 and 2, didn’t expect to get them back. In the same way, in the 1970’s, futurologists created a plan to send an unmanned space probe to the Alpha Centauri system. The “Project Daedalus”. It was the hypothetical version of the interstellar probe. The interstellar Voyager probe that travels to Alpha Centauri. And I presume that the first thing. That travels to the outer solar system. 

For research, the gas giants, Uranus and Neptune, will be. The AI-controlled probe. The miniature version of Daedalus can make that mission. The theoretical Daedalus was the flyby probe that would not slow its speed near the targeted solar system. It would  send the subprobes to those solar systems. In the same way, “Mini Daedalus” can make a flyby mission. When the nuclear-powered probe overtakes the planet. It can send the immersion probe that orbits and lands in a gas giant’s atmosphere. 

Daedalus spacecraft concept. (Wikipedia, Project Daedalus)

China wants to send robot dogs to research lava tubes on the moon. This kind of research is one of the things that pave the way for bases on the Moon and Mars. Without complete knowledge of the conditions of the operational areas. It is hard to make safe bases. There is a possibility that China plans to create. A moonbase in lava tubes. But the fact is this. Those robot dogs can also operate in caves on Earth. 

They can also operate. In the sanew system, below cities. The robot dog can go anywhere. And there is a possibility. That. Those systems. can even fly. In that case, the robot dogs have the quadcopter system in their feet. The retractable propellers can be in those feet. And when the robot dog wants to fly. It just spreads its legs and uncovers its propellers. 

Then those robots can fly to the roofs of the buildings. It could also use that ability for underwater operations. The robot dog can serve rescue crews and the military, and it can have intelligence applications. The use of robots helps to save lives. And the biomimicking robots can operate in areas that are dangerous to researchers. Maybe we will see these kinds of robot dogs on the surface of other planets.
