A new idea can turn the space junk into a new spacecraft.

The answer to the space junk problems can be to turn. Space junk into new satellites. There are two ways to make this thing. One is to collect space junk into the orbital garbage cans. And return them to the factory. The problem is the price. But another way to make those things is the orbital recycling center. The factory that turns the space junk into new structures. 

This system can be the satellites that use 3D printers. When that factory satellite comes to space junk. It simply pulls space junk. Inside it. There are lasers or microwaves that melt those metals. The system can use centrifugal separation for those metals. And then create the wire for 3D printers. Space drones that can be the quadcopter’s orbital operating versions. Those systems can create even large structures. And that can make it possible. To create things like power satellites. 

But the fact is that. The space junk is a growing problem in many ways. When the modern way to handle space junk was invented. There were about 10 satellites. Today, there are millions of different-sized objects in space. Those satellites can cause environmental problems if they drop into the oceans. If those satellites carry plutonium batteries, they can cause pollution. 

Or in the worst case, terrorists can get those isotopic batteries. But if the satellite or its hard disks remain in working condition. The opponent can restore its data. And if we think about the space garbage collectors. Especially, reconnaissance satellites and military communication satellites can involve critical information. And if somebody collects those satellites from orbit and returns them to base, that opens the route to that information and things like camera systems. 





“Primary sources of space debris include fragmentation events (65%), such as collisions, explosions from residual propellant, and spontaneous disintegration; decommissioned spacecraft and rocket bodies (30%); and mission-related objects (5%) unintentionally or deliberately released during operations. The rise in fragmentation has triggered a self-reinforcing cycle of collisions, posing escalating risks to orbital sustainability.

“This schematic categorizes the principal chemical elements used across the major functional components of spacecrafts into five material domains: main structural materials, ignition and firing equipment, electronic systems and components, energy storage systems, and outer protective coatings. Each domain is color coded and spatially mapped onto simplified rocket and satellite models to reflect functional segmentation. Elements that are critically important, for either their high usage or unique functional roles, are annotated with corner triangles indicating their sustainability level (top left) and global reserves (bottom right); red, orange, and green denote high, medium, and low, respectively.

Space junk, or “Kessler syndrome,” is one of the biggest problems in orbital trajectories. The biggest problem is that most of that space junk is small particles. When those particles hit satellites, they can damage solar panels. But if a small object impacts a satellite from the opposite direction, that can destroy the entire satellite. If we think about the possibility of collecting space junk. And then dropping it into the oceans, we face one big problem. The problem is that the satellite can be destroyed by a space weapon. 

The miniature satellite that impacts another satellite. Or carries some kind of gun and shoots at a targeted satellite, it will not seem anything more than just hitting the space junk. The satellite that travels in the opposite direction. And shoots a small projectile at the target. It can cause big damage, even if the separation speed is not fast. And if researchers want to state these kinds of things, they must get their satellite back.

Normally, satellites will be driven. To the atmosphere. Or they will be driven to high orbit. When they end their career. There are two problems with those models for handling space junk. The number of satellites is growing. And that causes problems in orbitals. The second problem is satellites that just stop working. And the killer satellites might hide in high orbit along with space junk. 

Those satellites just wait for orders to affect other satellites. They can use some cannons. Or simply detonate themselves using a conventional or nuclear detonator. In a conventional detonator, the satellite involves a chamber. It conducts hydrogen and oxygen to that chamber. And detonates that mixture. There are small metal balls in the satellite structure. So, a space weapon doesn’t require a nuclear detonator. 

The problem is also that military communication satellites. And a reconnaissance satellite can provide vital information. When it drops to sea, and the dropping location is known. The opponent’s deep-sea rescue teams can try to raise those satellites. Up and restore their information. And it's possible. That their hard disks survive. From fall through the atmosphere. So, those satellites should be returned to base, where their data can be sealed.

Good is good, but for whom?





For a complete understanding of texts. The reader must know. The cultural and environmental background. The writer can uncover some purposes of the texts that we cannot. Even think about. If somebody shares something for free. Ask always why that actor makes that thing? Even if something is illegal in the West, that doesn’t mean that every actor plays by the same rules. 

Can you read? That question seems very simple. Of course, you can read. That means you can read words and make decisions about them. This is one way to read. And then we must realise that “reading” is much more than repeating written words. Reading means the ability to see. Things that are not seen in text. Those things are “hidden between lines”. Writing can include contexts or other things that are not open to every reader. And we notice that thing when we read texts that AI translated. 

The AI can translate texts, but then we notice that those AI-generated translations are somehow “bad”. The reason for that is that AI translates texts word by word. But there seems to be something wrong. In those texts. The reason for that is this: AI doesn’t understand sarcasm. It doesn’t understand humour. But in this moment, we must state that AI is a good assistant for translators. The translation always requires work if the writer wants to publish it. But for so-called raw versions, those AIs are good tools. 

This thing guides us to the edge of complete understanding of the texts. The text can always have a deeper dimension. The cultural background of the writer. Determines what is allowed and what is not allowed. Things like sarcasm and “messages between lines” are connected to the culture. In the same way, understanding the text also means. 

That the reader gets acquainted with. The background of the writer. The writer’s social networks, like employers. And the purpose of the text. Determines what the text really means. The purpose of marketing text. It is to tell good things about a product. And at this point, we must ask, “Good things for whom? Who determines the good things? If somebody shares merchandise for free, we should ask. Who pays for those products? 


There is no free lunch. 


When we get a mobile system for free, we must realize that. There may be something that we don’t want to get. The mobile system can involve. The GPS. Which shares our physical location with everybody. Or, the system can involve the Trojan horse. The hidden hard disk that stores discussions, data, and other things. Those are made near those systems. When we try to uncover spying tools. We can try to find them. By using their radio transmissions. 

But that method is useless against modern systems. Modern intelligent systems are not. Like in old times. Modern intelligent spyware stores data in its hard disk. The program that makes this possible can be in a hidden partition of the hard disk. Or it can be installed in the microchip on the microcircuit.  

And when it gets a remote signal. That system delivers data as bursts. The system can be satellite-activated. That system can use satellite systems for communication. The system can get an order to share information from a satellite. And in that moment, the system also shares the geospatial information. The system can also take the order to share data through the normal internet. So, the wired internet doesn’t protect anybody. The data delivery order can also be given from another mobile telephone.

Is it possible that researchers found the first black hole star? And the new member of our solar system: Ammonite.




“Artist’s impression of a black hole star (Quasi-star) (not to scale). Mysterious tiny pinpoints of light discovered at the dawn of the universe may be giant spheres of hot gas that are so dense they look like the atmospheres of typical nuclear fusion-powered stars; however, instead of fusion, they are powered by supermassive black holes in their center that rapidly pull in matter, converting it into energy and giving off light. Credit: T. Müller/A. de Graaff/Max Planck Institute for Astronomy.” (ScitechDaily, A Tiny Red Dot in Deep Space May Be a New Kind of Cosmic Monster”)


The little red dot in the dawn of the universe could be a black hole star. The black hole star forms in cases where. The symmetrical gas layer starts to orbit the black hole at a speed. That anchors it around the black hole. The black hole star gets its glow from the gas that glows. Because dark and visible matter interacts with that shell.  

That causes glow that is similar with glow that form around Sgr A*. The black hole star will be red. Because redshift stretches light. Another thing. What we must realize when we observe black holes. It is the massive redshift.  That makes them look like. Being at a longer distance. Than they really are. 

The black hole star will be much larger than normal stars. The black hole inside it. Gives extremely high power energy. To that shell. So if that red dot really is the black hole star. It gives new visions. To model the universe and its highest energy objects. The black hole star is one of the still hypothetical forms of black holes and their interactions. 


But if small primordial black holes exist, they can change the game. 


It’s possible that the black hole stars are not big at all. It’s possible that Earth-mass black holes can form a black hole star around them. The Earth-mass black hole will be about the size of one centimeter. The Schwarzschild radius of an Earth-mass black hole is about 9mm. And that means it could form a black hole star that looks like a red dwarf.

“Artist's impression of Quaoar rings. Credit: Paris Observatory” (ScitechDaily, Space Mystery: Unexpected New Ring System Discovered in Our Own Solar System)





Ammonite. The new member of our solar system. “A newly found icy object, Ammonite, may be a 4-billion-year-old fossil from the Solar System’s edge—and it’s casting doubt on the Planet Nine theory. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com” (ScitechDaily, ‘Ammonite’: A Mysterious Deep Space Fossil That Could Rewrite Solar System History)





Quaoar is not only a dwarf planet with rings in the Kuiper Belt. Dwarf planet Haumea (136108 Haumea) with its rings. “Haumea looks like the perfect skipping stone in this artist's depiction of the dwarf planet, complete with its newly discovered rings”. (Image credit: IAA-CSIC/UHU)(Space.com, Surprise! Bizarre Dwarf Planet Haumea Has Rings)

If Planet X is real, and it's a primordial black hole. The ice surface can deny the X-ray emission that should uncover it. The only thing that is certain is those mysterious anomalies in Neptune's trajectory. Those anomalies. Made researchers search for a new planet. And they found Pluto. Pluto was close to the point where astronomers calculated its position. 

Pluto was too small to cause those anomalies. So, sometimes researchers search for Planet 9 in the Kuiper Belt. But there is no mark on it. So could that thing be the primordial black hole? That hides in some structure. We believe it is a dwarf planet. The Planwt 9 is simultaneously returning to the astronomers' discussions. And researchers hope. That they get an answer for those anomalies in the Neptune trajectory. 


Researchers found a new world at the edge of the Solar System called Ammonite. The problem is that Ammonite is a strange plutoid. A dwarf planet where gravity is not strong enough. 


When a supernova explosion happens. Or a black hole’s relativistic jet hits the planet. It’s possible that this energy presses the planet or its core into the singularity. That kind of very small black hole can act like any other black hole. This means that the miniature, primordial black hole can lurk inside asteroids and some planets. In some theories. That primordial black hole lurks inside some known Kuiper Belt object. The best candidate for that role is Quaoar (or 50000 Quaoar). 

The new observations suggest that this weird dwarf planet can have an extra moon. So could Quaoar be the mythical “Planet X” or ninth planet? That causes anomalies in Neptune's trajectory? The Quaoar is regular. And it has a ring system. That means Quaoar should have a magnetic field, or Van Allen belt. Or it should have a stronger gravity field than it does. If there is no gravity field or Van Allen belt. Solar wind. And other objects’ gravity blows rings into space. Or those moons will hover them around Quaoar. Can inside Quaoar hide some primordial black hole? 

Or planet-shaped objects. It’s possible that a small black hole causes the anomalies. In the planet Neptune's trajectory. In that theory, Planet X, or the ninth planet, could be a primordial black hole. This causes another interesting thought. Could the dwarf planet Quaor's rings have some connection? With that hypothetical black hole? Or, could that dwarf planet itself involve that primordial black hole? Quaoar is a very small object in the Kuiper Belt. That dwarf planet has a ring system. And one or two satellites. 

If those miniature black holes exist. That thing can be one of the biggest advances for astronomy and physics. Those “little red dots” are one of the most interesting objects that send greetings from the dawn of the universe.

FBI wants more fiber-optic drones in its arsenal.




FBI wants new fiber-optic drones. The requirements that the FBI has. They are a little bit different. Than the military has. The drone must take prisoners. And that means the kamikaze drones are not suitable for police use.  The drone can travel at the front of the SWAT officers or agents and search for hostages and possible ambushes. Those people can get information from those drones. Straight to their mobile screens. If the drone uses its weapons. The officers must find it right away. Drones can use deadly weapons, stun guns, or two drones can bind the target. It’s possible that somebody steals. The drone that operates in the search mission loses the communication signal. 

Fiber-optic drones can operate effectively in houses. And in other places. There are radio shadow areas. Things like metal structures have the ability to jam radio signals. Criminals can also have a jammer system. Fiber- or wire-controlled drones are the answer to those problems. Those drones use optical data transmission most often through optical fibers. Those systems can also use very thin electric data cables. But those cables are heavier, and they can offer a shorter operational radius. The police drones differ from military versions in that there is always a possibility. That somebody will steal those drones. Or if a drone operates in a Faraday cage, like EMP-protected spaces. That denies the radio wave communication with the drone. 

The police drone can use similar kamikaze ammunition as the military drones. But those drones can also carry regular guns like lightweight grenade launchers, rifles, shotguns, submachine guns, automatic pistols, and derringer pistols. They can carry high-voltage stun guns. Or riot gas grenades. In those missions, the drone can fly near the target. And then shoot the target like a hostage taker from a short distance. The fiber-controlled drone also leaves a line behind it. 

And then the SWAT operators can find it easier. The fiber-optic control makes the drone impossible to jam. But. The weakness of those systems is the fiber. If the opponent sees that wire, it's possible to cut it. The optically controlled drones can communicate with their command link through laser rays, which travel through the air. Or through the optical wire. The laser ray that travels through the air can be jammed using smoke. 

Or if the laser ray points. To the eye, that can cause injuries. The problem with laser ray that travels through air is simple. If there is a blockade in its route, it denies the communication. The optical wire is the answer to that problem. The problem with the fiber is that. If fiber leaks light. That can make it possible to detect that fiber using the light amplifier. The fiber-optical drone can be connected to the internet using a remote-controlled control station. The control stations can be connected to the internet wirelessly. Or by using a wired socket. The operator can control those drones over the internet by using a remote station, which can be anywhere.  

Drones are advancing. And they are becoming more effective and independent. Things like. Terrain contour matching, internal inertial systems, and advanced AI can make it possible. To create drones that can operate independently and without the need to communicate with the ground stations. There is also a possibility that the relay aircraft or drone patrols over the battlefield. The drone can use laser systems. To control those drones. Another interesting thing that can make those drones effective. It is coherent radio-wave or X-ray-based systems.

The new engines are close to the dream of perpetual motion machines.




“ Researchers have demonstrated a way to generate nighttime power by exploiting an often-overlooked temperature difference between Earth and the sky. Their approach uses a specialized engine to tap into this subtle energy flow, revealing possibilities that don’t depend on sunlight or conventional fuels. (Artist’s concept). Credit: SciTechDaily.com” (ScitechDaily, New Engine Taps the Freezing Void of Space To Generate Power at Night)

We know that perpetual motion machines are impossible. The reason for that. It is in friction. But it's possible to create an engine that benefits from the temperature differences. And that makes it possible to maintain the rotational movement. 

An engine that uses freezing space to harness energy from its environment could be one of the solutions that can make solar power more effective. The idea in those systems is that. Energy travels from the higher energy side to the lower energy side. So, if the system can be in line. Where the other side is colder than the other, that makes energy flow on that wheel. The system is based on the Striling engine. 

Like all other heat-based systems, which create movement from a temperature difference. The Stirling engine can theoretically. Uses things like. The expansion of liquid gases. For making the rotational movement. The system that uses the freezing space has one problem. The temperature level between the hot and warm sides must not reach the same level. The other side must be colder so that energy can move in the system. 

The thing that can boost these kinds of systems is wheels. These are connected with time crystals. In condensed matter physics, a time crystal is a quantum system of particles whose lowest-energy state is one in which the particles are in repetitive motion. This thing means that. Those time crystals can be put on the wheel that harnesses energy from the temperature difference between its sides. Time crystals can recycle their energy. Ad sometimes they are called quantum-size perpetual motion machines. 



“Scientists have crafted a visible form of a “time crystal,” a strange phase of matter that moves in endlessly repeating patterns when illuminated. Using liquid crystals similar to those in phone screens, the team coaxed swirling structures that behave like particles and cycle in time on their own. Credit: Stock” (ScitechDaily, Physicists Create First-Ever Visible “Time Crystal”)

The fact is that if those systems can get energy from outside. The wobbling movement of those time crystals. It can offer the possibility. To create a new way to create or harness energy. But. The requirement is that those systems’ temperature must be near zero kelvin. Otherwise, oscillation causes energy loss. That turns those time crystals useless. 

We must remember that no machine creates energy. The machine transforms energy into another form, or it puts energy into motion. The “perpetual motion machines” are possible at the quantum level. In larger systems, friction causes energy loss. That makes those systems hard to benefit from. If there is a possibility of making a system. That recycles all energy without loss. That gives a fundamental way to create energy. 

Those systems. Use wobbling extremely low-energy atoms or other particles to harness energy. Does the engine produce? Or uses energy, depending on whether it delivers more energy than it uses. 

The low-energy particles that wobble can easily harness more energy from kinetic platforms or radiation that they need for their wobbling movement. The requirement is that the temperature of those particles is decreased near absolute zero or 0K. In extremely low temperatures. The system can harness more energy than it uses.

Photonic microchips are halfway to a quantum computer.


"While humans and classical computers must perform tensor operations step by step, light can do them all at once. Credit: Photonics group / Aalto University. "(ScitechDaily, Scientists Just Made AI at the Speed of Light a Reality)

"Researchers have demonstrated single-shot tensor computing at the speed of light, marking a remarkable step toward next-generation AGI hardware powered by optical rather than electronic computation. Tensor operations are a type of mathematical processing that underpins many modern technologies, especially artificial intelligence, but they go far beyond the basic math most people encounter. A useful comparison is the complex movements involved in rotating, slicing, or reorganizing a Rubik’s cube in several dimensions at once. Humans and traditional computers must break these steps into a sequence, while light can carry out all of them simultaneously." (ScitechDaily, Scientists Just Made AI at the Speed of Light a Reality)

Photonic microchips offer speed-of-light computing. They are harder to disturb than electric microchips. However, there are many things. That researchers must solve. To make those chips a part of everyday use. The biggest challenge with photonic chips is transferring information between photonic and electrical states. Another problematic thing is the size of the photonic chips. Those photonic systems require complete knowledge. Of the photons and material interactions. In ideal cases, the magnetic fields and photon interactions are things. 

That can transmit data between magnetic systems and photonic computers. A magnetic microchip can be. Same way. As a big advance. As photonic chips are. Magnetic fields make microchips act. At lower temperatures than electric microchips.  The system can have three layers. Or, four, if the system has a quantum state. 



"Illustration showing photon emission from a nanodiamond and light directed by a bullseye antenna. Credit: SciTechDaily.com, inspired by Boaz Lubotzky" (ScitechDaily, Record-Breaking “Sparkle”: Scientists Unlock Diamond’s Quantum Potential)


1) The electric layer is the interface that inputs data that the user gives. 


2) A magnetic chip where the electricity will turn into a magnetic field. 


3) The photonic layer. The system will turn those magnetic fields into control photons. 


4) The fourth layer is reserved for a quantum computer. The photonic chip needs the optical gate to transform the photonic bit into a qubit. That layer exists only. If the system has a quantum layer or a quantum state. 

The wavelength of light is one thing. That puts limits. On photonic processors' miniaturization.  The processor or its components cannot be smaller than the wavelength of light. That travels in those components. The photonic processor can be halfway. To the table-sized or portable quantum computers. The problem is: how to control photons and electrons. And another problem is how to transfer data between optical and electronic systems. 

The second image could introduce the nano-sized diamond. It can act as a switch or gate. That can transform photonic information into a quantum mode. The diamond in the middle of the sensoric group delivers light and data to sensors. Those sensors are around it. This makes it possible to transform light, or a photonic data carrier, into the qubits. 

That system turns photons into the internal superpositioned structures. And that makes it possible to create the superposition when each layer of those internal photonic structures has one and zero states. As we know, a qubit is a superposition state of the structure. Each state can have values zero and one. The thing that makes the quantum computer different than a binary computer is this. The information is connected to a physical particle. Another thing is that. The quantum computer can drive each of its states as an independent binary computer. 

That means a quantum computer can act like many binary computers. Or it can share the complicated missions between each state of that system. The problem must be complex enough that the quantum computer can solve it faster than a binary computer. The reason for that is simple. The system requires superposition and entanglement between photons. This means that the quantum computer must have time to make those superpositions and entanglements.

Augmented reality turns any surface into a keyboard.



The augmented reality allows for turning any surface into a keyboard. And that advancement can open a new era for mobile systems. Many AI bosses say that the mobile telephone as we know it is dead. The future belongs to smart classes and other more sophisticated things. Technology that connects smart glasses and augmented reality to a practical solution exists. The system must connect the vision that comes from outside and the data that the system gives to the user. 

The system can be based. On head-up display (HUD) technology, where the user sees data that is transparent, and the real world is backward. The system can have things. Like an IR camera that allows a person to see in the dark. The system can use a speech recognition interface. But those things are problematic in noisy environments. 

Also things. Like, data security is endangered. If the person uses the voice commands. So, a virtual keyboard. The system is created on-screen. It might be the answer to that problem. The system follows the fingers using a camera, and then the person will calibrate. That virtual keyboard. The system might also have a virtual mouse, and the gesture control tells if the person wants to move the cursor on the screen. The problem with that kind of system is simple. 

They require a new interface. Of course. The user can use things like physical mice or trackballs. The virtual mouse would be the most compact and safe system. The role of the mobile telephone. Turns into a central unit. For those wearable systems. The virtual and augmented reality systems must be safe to use. The problem is how to make those systems safe when the user is walking. The VR systems are impressive tools. They can introduce car gauges into the head-up display. Or deliver data for the user from a drone that flies over the person’s head. 

That tells if there is something behind the corner. The same system can also be used to search homepages. The cloud-based architecture that outsources calculations to the data centers decreases the need for high-power processors in mobile systems.
