Here we can see, that every flying vehicle in the world is very dangerous if it is used for the wrong purpose. If the security personnel would not expect that enemy might use miniature combat helicopters, would the protected person in big trouble. Those miniature helicopters can transfer the snipers very precisely in the roofs and other places, where normally is very difficult to go. And if the assassin would use this kind of device, would this person slip thru the security. If the seals have put to the roofs, and the sniper would go there after the check, could that person pass the security, and be dangerous for any target in the world.


The idea of the personal helicopter is not new, and here is one of the most successful models of the miniature aviation. In 1950's CIA and United States military created this kind of helicopters for multi-purpose usage, and they are the base of the modern miniature aviation devices. The developing of those miniature devices stopped because of accidents, but the idea of the vehicle was very good, and only the lack of suitable technology, like computers, what could stabilize this vehicle was caused the termination of this interesting project.


Sometimes there have been rumors that some special forces operators have used this kind of miniature devices in their operations, and if the device uses autorotation, it might be the good thing for land silent in the operation area. When this tiny helicopter is in the right altitude, the blowers under the system start to make the air cushion, that the device would not touch the ground. In the right altitude, the operator could jump to the ground, and then this tiny helicopter would fly away.


This kind of miniature devices can be used to raise the agent to the roofs, and the snipers could use them as the shooting platform, and they can be used to avoiding minefield. The operators could also use machine-guns, and the Pentagon hoped that they could be used as the miniaturized combat helicopters, where the operators would use assault weapons from the hand. Those devices would also be made in the form of "X-helicopter" what makes them more stable.


Another thing, what Pentagon wanted to use those devices was to carry bombs to the enemy lines, and also the electronic surveillance and cameras were hoped to install to those devices. Somebody sees the thermobaric explosives in the middle of the "Aerocycle", and this device could be ideal to deliver that kind of ammunition. Modern technology makes those devices easier to handle, and the technology, what is planned to use in those new devices, is actually the same, what is used in the miniature helicopters. And there are claims, that the CIA has the trunk, where could be put the four rotors what are hidden in the carbon fiber rods, and this device could be used for raise the agents to the roofs.

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 interstellar nebula  falls  it can form

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".
