Nuclear test case: "Storax Sedan"

In 1962 United States conducted one of the first underground nuclear tests in history and the name of this test was "Storax Sedan". There was one underground test before that, and it was codenamed "Plumbbob Rainier", and it was a 1,7 kiloton nuclear detonation, what mission was to test the systems for underground nuclear tests, what was only allowed a way to test nuclear detonations after 1963, and the nuclear test prohibiting treaty, what prohibited atmospheric, undersea and orbital nuclear tests. Underground tests were allowed because the development of nuclear explosives wanted to allow for scientific and civilian purposes like mining operations and making artificial rivers.


The mission of "Sedan" was to demonstrate high yield underground nuclear detonations and this 104 kiloton device made the crater in the Nevada Test site, what is the national monument. "Sedan" caused very large radioactive fallout around the USA, and that would cause the rise of the resistance against nuclear power and weapons. This device is claimed to give information about the civilian applications of the nuclear weapons. But the truth is that no explosives have only one field of use, and sometimes is claimed that "Sedan" was planned to be the detonator for the bunker buster nuclear weapons.


There is claiming that the USA or Russia have tested the nuclear weapon, what is carried with the similar drills, what is used in some tunnel working sites. Those drills would be dropped near the targeted bunker, and then they would dig those weapons deep inside the ground. And then this weapon would be exploded. The system would be actually laser-drill, what would make the hole for the bomb, what will drop in the tunnel, and the explosion would destroy the target.


 Or sometimes this weapon is called to use the subcritical nuclear mass for making the hole in the ground. The liquid and extreme hot nuclear material will melt the rock and open the route for the hydrogen bomb. In some rumors that weapon would equip with the small nuclear reactor, what mission will be cover this weapon with high-powerful radiation, and that would deny attempts to disarm that weapon, what would seem like the tube, that stands on the feet. And when the hole would be deep enough, the detonation device would be dropped in there.

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 ...

The problem with mirror life.

"Mirror life presents serious dangers, primarily due to its potential to interact unpredictably with the natural world. Without natural checks like predators or antibiotics, mirror organisms could replicate uncontrollably, creating risks that scientists are only beginning to understand. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, “Mirror Bacteria” Warning: A New Kind of Life Could Pose a Global Threat) When we think about artificial life, and especially mirror life. We must say. This technology. It can save billions of lives. But otherwise, those kinds of organisms could be hostile to their mirror forms. The shape of the mirror-life is like a form of a vampire. In movies, vampires look cute. But then. They show their real nature. The mirror-organisms are created for something. They look like original organisms. But they are AI-generated mirror-organisms. The purpose is to control things like hospital bacteria.  Mirror-life is the artificial life created by AI. And genologists. T...
