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.

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
