Submarine of tomorrow might be the robot.

When we are talking about underwater drones, we must say, that submarines of tomorrow are probably fully automated drones, what can operate years in the sea. In some visions, there would be two types of drone-submarines. Another type looks like submarines, what is already existed. They have large room inside their hull, and those vessels might equip with supercomputers, what can use sophisticated artificial intelligence. They would patrol on the seas without a crew, and those submarines are actually already existed. Russian “Status-6” is a good example of that kind of drone submarine, what patrols alone at sea and those vessels are equipped with two 50 megaton thermonuclear bombs.

“Status-6” is probably actually “Viktor” or similar submarine, what is converted as a drone, what can strike any coastal target on Earth. Also, those robot submarines might have defensive and offensive subsystems like torpedos and tactical missiles, what it can use against other submarines and surface warships. But this is only the part of the underwater drone technology. Automatisation of submarines is very easy, because they are big size, and the nuclear reactors give lots of electric power. So those vessels can equip with very powerful computers, what makes independent operations possible because they will give enough computing power to those vessels.

Another type of military underwater drones is extremely long range torpedos. Those torpedos seem like normal torpedoes, but they are equipped with RTG (Radio Thermal Generators) and nuclear warheads. That kind of small midget submarines can patrol years on the sea, and when they would get orders, those vehicles can attack against any target, what is traveling in the sea. The warheads of those torpedoes are the size of 2-15 kilotons. Those midget submarines might also carry nuclear missiles. Those missiles are put inside the torpedo, or they would be connected to the front of the torpedo. When this vehicle gets an order to shoot, it would rise to launching depth, and turn up the missile. Then that missile would be launched from the deep blue sea.

Modern nuclear submarines also have sub-drones for supporting their missions. There are rumors, that Russian and U.S Navies have equipped their missile submarines with remote controlled SDV (Swimmer Delivery Vehicles), what are using torpedos. Those drones can use in a combat situation for shooting another submarine. Also, those submarines have “reconnaissance torpedos”. This means the torpedo-size recon vessel, what can slip in the harbors. The reconnaissance drones can also use to look the targets for the submarine. In this case, the submarine can stay very deep, and send the drone to look for surface targets.


That drone sends it data with LRAD- or blue-green laser light modems to submarine, what can stay in cover. Those submarines can also have robots, what uses manipulators for underwater recovery and minesweeping operations. Those CURV (Controlled Underwater Recovery Vehicle) submarines can recover secret devices, what are dropped in the sea, and they can also use to sweep mines from the coast before the attack to the beach. CURV vehicles were used to return the hydrogen bombs, what dropped in the sea when B-52 bomber got the trouble in the Spanish coast during the Cold war.

Antigravity will be the greatest thing. That we have ever created.

"Artistic depiction of a fictional anti-gravity vehicle" (Wikipedia, Anti-gravity) Sometimes, if the airships have the same lifting power as the weight of the airship.  It can act like some “antigravity system”. Those systems are based on lighter-than-air gas or hot air. The system can have a helium tank. And the hot-air section whose temperature can be adjusted using microwaves or particles that lasers warm. Those systems are faster to control than some gas flames. This makes it possible. To adjust the lifting power.  If a thing like a balloon has the same lifting power as its weight, the balloon can be lifted to a certain point and altitude. And the balloon stands at that point until something moves it. That kind of thing can make an impression. On the antigravity systems. Modern airships. Like Lockheed-Martin P-791 can look. Like a “UFO”. The system can use systems to move the craft. Or maybe those ion systems are used for plasma stealth systems, if those airships' mis...

Capitalism is a blessing and a curse.

Basically. There is nothing wrong with capitalism. The idea of capitalism is simple. If people like your products, they buy them. And that brings money to your bank accounts. If people don’t like our product, they don’t buy it. And that drives you into bankruptcy. That is the economic Darwinism. If the company cannot sell its products. That removes it from markets.  Other ways. We can say that if the company cannot answer those new challenges, it will be terminated immediately. In the Soviet Union, there was no capitalism. And the competition between companies. Did not exist. That caused a situation where the merchandise. With bad quality being. Entered. Into shops. Without competition, there was no development. And that turned those products old-fashioned. That raised the Soviets' addiction. To the natural resources. To get Western currency. They sold gas and oil to get dollars, which they needed to buy Western technology. That caused a situation. The Soviet technology started to ...

Hidden order in quantum entropy can endanger the quantum network.

"Physicists have uncovered hidden magnetic patterns lurking inside a puzzling state of matter called the pseudogap, which appears just before certain materials become superconductors. Credit: Shutterstock. (ScitechDaily, Superconductivity Breakthrough: Hidden Order Found Inside Quantum Chaos) We know the thing. Superconductivity makes objects levitate. That levitation is known as the Meissner effect. The effect is formed when all atoms in the system are in the same way. In a very low temperature. Those atoms are in the same quantum field. Because atoms are inside one collective quantum field, that thing makes it possible to push that quantum field up. And because that field is forming a collective bubble that moves the entire object up. In a superconducting wire, the atoms are. Under one collective quantum field. Because electricity travels in that field. There doesn’t form standing waves, and that denies the resistance.  In the Meissner effect, the electromagnetic fields trav...
