Modern sea mines are very devastating devices

Sea mines have been very effective weapons against ships and submarines. The similar magnet- and horn sea mines are still using, what was used in the First World War, but the advantages in materials like using composites in the cores of mines make those weapons more dangerous because composite core would not be detected by using magnets. Also, computers are allowed to make so-called smart mines, what detonates only near enemy major surface combatants or submarines.


 Some of those mines have the nuclear detonator, what makes them capable to destroy the entire battle group. In those cases, the mines can use voice compilation and SONARS, what detects the form of the target, and then those weapons would be detonated. They can be delivered from aircraft, surface ships, and submarines.


Some of them are actually very advanced torpedos, what uses RTG or some other long-term propulsion. Those torpedos can deliver to the sea even from the opposite coast of the ocean, and they can travel near any harbor on Earth. They can lay on the floor of the ocean, and if the war would begin, they can be detonated immediately. Those systems can change place if they were suspected to detect, and they can also hit submarines and their bases by driving near the target. And then those torpedos can explode their nuclear warheads. The tsunami would be very devastating, and the nuclear submarine base could be destroyed.


When we are thinking about another modern advantage in those mines, the electromagnetic warhead, that would increase the capacity to damage vessels. If the normal horn sea mine would be equipped similar system, that is used in EMP-bombs, would that cause damages for more units than one. The EMP-mine works like the explosive would pressure the battery. That electricity is conducting to the transmitter, what would give a very powerful radio or microwave.


The EMP-mines are very dangerous because they induct high voltage electricity to submarines core. Some devices are planned to be the modified machine used in demining magnet mines. Those systems are basically similar than those demining systems, what uses the electric field to detonate magnet mines. In the EMP system, the used electricity level is higher, and it could eliminate the submarines electronic equipment like GPS, computers, communications, and weapons would be jammed.


That could make possible to steal nuclear weapons from those submarines. In some novel, the bad guys used high voltage electric cables to make the submarines unable to operate, and then the propel of that vessel would be cut off by using magnesium sticks. Those things are very interesting and frighten visions of the situation, where some scuba divers would steal nuclear warheads from the submarines.

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".
