The tale of the Derringer "hand cannon"

Derringer-pistol is a very powerful weapon, what is made for close-range self-defense. It's small, effective and dangerous. There are many calibers of this famous weapon, and the CIA has made the agent-version of this pocket pistol, what looks like cigarette-lighter. If that box is airtight, and the weapon made by anti magnetic materials, that could be easier to carry in the aircraft. But there is one thing, what made this small size pistol very well known. It was used in the assassination of President Lincoln, and this made the very big reputation for pistol, what was found in pockets of gamblers and also many persons of law enforcement carried it for the backup gun for close combat situations.


The normal way to carry this weapon was in the holster, what was in the arm of the skirt, where it was easy to take, and where normal people didn't know to look at it. But there is one thing, what made the weapon what was used in the Lincoln case interesting. That particular 44-caliber prime-lock pistol had the rounded barrel, what could allow using extended barrel in that weapon. The extended barrel would be equipped with the screw thread and the barrel could veil as the cane.


There is the story, that modern Derringers have been equipped with the hexagonal outer layer, because that would be confessed, that the screw thread was not in use. But in fact, the screw thread could be inside the barrel, and the extended part could be put inside the veil. The extended stock could be made by iron stick, and it could be similar, what is used in the assault rifles. The pistol grip must be equipped with the piece, where this stock could be put. And the extended barrel allows using the telescope sight, and this could be one version of this famous handgun, and that allows to use it also for hunting or some other missions. If the caliber is powerful enough, this weapon could be effective many things.

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...
