Gyrojet pistols and rifles were created in 1960's for using the rocket ammunition. The orderer of that unique weapon was United States military and the use of rocket ammunition would eliminate the shell of the cartridge, and that could cover the shooting point, what would give the dogs smell of those soldiers. The Gyrojet-weapons were meant for special forces, what would have troubles with the shells. The ammunition would accelerate after leaving the barrel, and that would make those weapons very effective.


One of the reasons for creating this weapon was the idea, that by using rocket ammunition would the pistol and rifle have the same firepower, and also the solution, where the same weapon fits all purposes would be attractive. In some solutions, the gyrojet would equip with the extended barrel and the removable stock, what would give the same accuracy to that gun, as the rifle has. This would remove the need for two guns and ammunition, what makes loading the gun easier. And because the same weapon fits different missions it would be suitable for special forces operators, who spent weeks behind the enemy lines.



And if the weapon should carry as the sidearm and sort range purposes, those extended barrels and stocks could be removed. This Gyrojet solution was the fiasco, as you might know, and the manufacturing of this weapon stopped in 1960's. But after that have been rumors, that military forces have tested Gyrojet-type rocket bullets, what are loaded with the standard ammunition. In this solution, the rocket ammunition would be used with standard assault rifles.



The diameter of that rocket would be same as the bullet, and when the assault rifle would be launched, the shell would be thrown away as the standard ammunition. The rocket ammunition would give more sensitive acceleration for ammunition, and that would make it suitable for smart bullets. Those bullets are actually miniature missiles, what would home to target with the miniature computer. And the aiming for those bullets happens with lasers. The structure of those smart bullets are the same as guided "Copperhead" ammunition, but they are smaller. That ammunition is planned to use in the positions like hostage rescue and anti-sniper operations. In those cases, the nano-robot would mark the target with the laser ray, and then the ammunition will take the target off.

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...
