The GPS satellites are not so easy to target as people think (Installing "Trophy-system into satellites)

GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) is a very good target for ASAT (Anti Satellite Weapons) because this satellite is giving the data for positioning for satellite-guided weapons like JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) and GPS guided bombs and missiles. Those weapons allow that combat aircraft would close in the target in free angle, and that makes those weapons so effective.


The GPS is the easiest way to locate the position of the own troops, warships, and aircraft. GPS is also used in the safety systems of some special cargo, what are the risk to get stolen like money and the nuclear weapons. This system sends the location information of those things, and that will make the stealing that equipment very difficult.  If the security personnel would push the alarm button, that would send the information of emergency to the security company. And that's why GPS is the very vital role in the private or governmental security.


But if somebody would destroy the GPS-satellites the strike capacity of NATO task force will decrease, because the tactical support aircraft would need the precise information of own troops position. And that's why GPS-satellites are so important in those operations. But the use of ASAT-systems would cause big danger for those satellites. If the GPS-satellites are equipped with similar ADS-system, called "Trophy", what is used in the M-1 "Abrahms" tanks would that increase the probability of survivability, if the satellite would be getting attacked.


"Trophy"-type ADS is actually a microwave system, what uses multiple IR (Infra Red) sensors to detect incoming missiles, and then the microwave transmitter turns to those missiles, and the warhead of those missiles would be detonated too early. In the satellites that system might seem like some Sci-Fi space battle vehicle's gun turret. The similar system can easily install to the GPS-satellites, and that would allow destroying those incoming ASAT missiles. This would make some of those weapons unable to operate correctly. And that system would also be used against other satellites.

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...
