The problems of DEW (Directed energy weapons)

The major technical problem of direct energy weapons like laser guns is overheating. The laser element rakes very much heat, and that's why it must have an effective cooling system. That's why navies of the woŕld are the first users of laser guns. Ships are rounded by sea, and seawater can be used in cooling systems of laser weapons.


Those Laser guns are the same type of lasers that are used in metal industry, and most of them are carbon monoxide lasers, what give extremely powerful radiation in the infrared area of the electromagnetic spectrum. Naval laser systems are working as a replacer of a normal anti-aircraft cannon. They simply cut off wings of attacking airplane. The problem of gas lasers is it is a tube filled with gas, what makes it a little bit hard to install to portable systems. Gas leak in the tube causes malfunction of the system. But why military men around the world are interesting with lasers?


The reason of developing of that kind of systems is that laser has limitless ammunition capacity. If a soldier uses laser gun he doesn't need any ammunition at all, and that makes laser very effective if it works.  Only thing what the user of laser gun needs is light to laser element, that the weapon will work. If we are talking about the problem of laser rifle, the major problem is that laser element must stand for strikes and hard handling. The problem with that limitless ammunition capacity is security. If laser gun goes to wrong hands, the problem is that those men don't need ammunition.


They must only get acetylene for that gun's YAG systems acetylene lamp, and after that, they are free to shoot. That causes problems with public security because nothing puts limits to shots. And that is a very bad thing if those weapons go in wrong hands. And if those weapons are used in criminal actions, the user can't be tracked by rifle picture on bullet or DNA what leaves to patrons. That will make those weapons extremely dangerous.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to  form  the blue giant or too  small  it can collapse  straight  into a black hole . If  the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts.    The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists  model  of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the...

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista...

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

   "New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at  USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) The transcendenc...
