There are always problems with new equipment.

The miscalculated operational range would danger F-35C fighter-program, says news bulletin from the U.S NAVY. The U.S NAVY:s new stealth fighter F-35C have a problem, that it's combat radius have been miscalculated. The problem with those calculations has been that the F-35C has the very powerful jet engine, what of course uses very much fuel, and that was made problematic for calculating the radius of that military aircraft. When some new equipment is taken in the service, there are always problems with them, and that means the problems can be solved, but this means that with those technical problems must be honest, and make work to find them. Only the problems, what is found can be solved, and as we know that engineering work is very systematic.


Almost every other systems have found problems when they are first taken in use, and one of the most well-known cases was when U.S NAVY F-14 "Tomcat"  got the computerized AWG-9 fire-control system for its AIM-54 "Phoenix" missile system, that aircraft turned upside down when it crossed the Equator. Here I must confess that I don't remember the type of the aircraft really sharp, because there have been over 20 years from that case. This situation caused, because of the programmer of the computer forget, that there would be the world after the Equator, and then that aircraft turned upside down.


This kind of mistakes are very common in the new systems, and that's why engineers have been hired by the military forces. Their mission is to find those errors and fix them. If the new system doesn't have any errors,  that would be suspicious. Errors, what is found are the mark that the system has been tested properly, and if some brand new system would not found errors, would that mean that there would not be followed the testing instructions and procedures. As we know, in the engineering work people don't just expect that some things are working perfectly.


Engineers make tests before they accept the conclusion, that the system works. And when we are talking about the combat system, we would say, that those systems are extremely mission-critical, and that's why they must work perfectly before they are going to act. The pilots would not want to see in the real situation above enemy terrain, that their multi-million dollar aircraft would not work, because that could lethal when the real enemy is facing those fighters.

There is a suggestion that dark matter may have deformed another universe.

The researchers suggest that dark matter is the deformed dark universe. Or in the most exciting theories, dark matter is the dark universe inside our universe. In that theory dark matter is entangled with the visible material. That theory is taken from the multiverse theory. There our visible universe is one of many universes. The other universes can be invisible because their electrons and quarks are different sizes. And that thing makes those other universes invisible to us.  Another hypothesis is that the hypothetical other universes send radiation that radiation from our universe pushes away. Things like invisible 9th. planet causes ideas that maybe there is another universe in our universe. The thing that makes the mysterious dark matter interesting is that. The dark matter can form structures that can be similar to visible material. But those structures are not visible.  The multiverse theory is not new. The thing in that theory is that there are multiple universes at this moment

The neuroscientists get a new tool, the 1400 terabyte model of human brains.

"Six layers of excitatory neurons color-coded by depth. Credit: Google Research and Lichtman Lab" (SciteechDaily, Harvard and Google Neuroscience Breakthrough: Intricately Detailed 1,400 Terabyte 3D Brain Map) Harvard and Google created the first comprehensive model of human brains. The new computer model consists of 1400 terabytes of data. That thing would be the model. That consists comprehensive dataset about axons and their connections. And that model is the path to the new models or the human brain's digital twins.  The digital twin of human brains can mean the AI-based digital model. That consists of data about the blood vessels and neural connections. However, the more advanced models can simulate electric and chemical interactions in the human brain.  This project was impossible without AI. That can collect the dataset for that model. The human brain is one of the most complicated structures and interactions between neurotransmitters, axons, and the electrochemica

Nano-acoustic systems make new types of acoustic observation systems possible.

' Acoustic diamonds are a new tool in acoustics.  Another way to make very accurate soundwaves is to take a frame of 2D materials like graphene square there is a hole. And then electrons or laser beams can make that structure resonate. Another way is to use the electromagnetic field that resonates with the frame and turns electromagnetic energy into an oscillation in the frame.  Nano-acoustic systems can be the next tool for researching the human body. The new sound-wave-based systems make it possible to see individual cells. Those soundwave-based systems or nano-sonars are tools that can have bigger accuracy. Than ever before. The nano-sonar can use nanodiamonds or nanotubes as so-called nano-LRAD systems that send coherent sound waves to the target. In nanotube-based systems, the nanotube can be in the nanodiamond.  The term acoustic diamond means a diamond whose system oscillates. The system can create oscillation sending acoustic or electromagnetic waves to the diamond. Diamond
