Russia claimed to have shot a hypersonic Zircon missile in Ukraine.

Rumors tell that Russia shot a hypersonic- or should be hypersonic 3M22 Zircon missile in Ukraine. This hypersonic weapon may be still under construction. In that case, Russia tested that missile in that area. And in that case, the Zircon is not ready yet. When this missile is ready, it can carry a 200 kt thermonuclear warhead. The have been reports that the Zircon has some problems with detonating warheads in the precise right altitude.  The problems with scramjet-driven hypersonic missiles are the same all the time. The combustion must happen in the right place. If that thing happens in the wrong position the missile or aircraft loses its power. Another thing is that the hypersonic scramjet engine system requires hydrogen as fuel. So that means the hydrogen must stored in the missile or the ship that carries this missile must make that hydrogen using electrolysis or taking it from some tank.  The ignition of the hypersonic missiles and especially their scramjet system requires. That

Russia plans to position nukes in space.

FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment Systems) are nuclear weapons. Positioned in low or medium orbital. In the Cold War, the Soviets and U.S. forces planned to place different sizes of nuclear weapons in space, where those systems could make a very fast attack against the enemy.  In some plans modified CORONA or Progress capsule would act as weapon carriers. The size of those nuclear weapons that could reach Earth is planned to be from a couple of kilotons to 50 megatons.  The space nukes might not be dangerous for people on the ground. Their targets are other satellites and incoming missiles.  Most of those space nukes would be EMP weapons. The idea is that the nuclear weapon that detonated in a low orbiter creates an electromagnetic pulse. That EMP weapon should shut down enemy satellites. And communication systems. And of course, the central computer centers are in danger.  The EMP impulse can destroy aircraft's computers and that can destroy airborne aircraft. And those systems

What causes reflection from the future?

We think that the future is closer to us. When we close to the gravitational center we must ask what transports the future, or event from the future to us? The model is that gravitational waves push the future near to us. And if that gravitational radiation is strong enough. It can push all events behind us. That melts the future with the actor.  In that case, the hypersurface of the present is before all other events.  Or another way to say the future is where we are. The requirement for that thing is that. We could raise the hypersurface of the present to the place. Where the future thing happens. But when we think that thing in the future sends reflection to the past we can ask, what causes this reflection?  Information reflects from branes. They are like potential walls in the information flow. Those branes are like the Hall effect.  Above: Brane model.  "In diagram A, the flat conductor possesses a negative charge on the top (symbolized by the blue color) and a positive charg

Telescopes are researching time dilation near supermassive black holes.

"This artist’s illustration shows a cross-section of the supermassive black hole and surrounding material in the center of our galaxy. The black sphere in the center represents the event horizon of the black hole, the point of no return from which nothing, not even light, can escape. Looking at the spinning black hole from the side, as depicted in this illustration, the surrounding spacetime is shaped like an American football. The yellow-orange material to either side represents gas swirling around the black hole."  "This material inevitably plunges towards the black hole and crosses the event horizon once it falls inside the football shape. The area inside the football shape but outside the event horizon is therefore depicted as a cavity. The blue blobs show jets firing away from the poles of the spinning black hole.

Researchers decoded the last signals from brains before death.

"Death is not a single moment but a process involving a cascade of changes in brain activity, including the depletion of ATP and a surge in brain waves, culminating in the “wave of death.” Researchers have found that this wave begins in the pyramidal neurons of layer 5 in the cortex, suggesting that death’s progression can be tracked and potentially reversed within a specific time window.

We know that evolution created death and that old generations can leave space for new generations. Some species live only a couple of months. One of them is Labord's chameleon, which has the shortest life cycle of all Chordata. That species lives a short and intensive life. Those chameleons live only five months. And in that time they make their descendants.  There are many theories about this kind of species. And one of them is that some of those extremely short-li

Almost invisible galaxy challenges dark matter theories.

"The discovery of Nube, a faint and extended dwarf galaxy, challenges existing astrophysical models. Its unique characteristics might provide new insights into the universe and the nature of dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Ghost in the Cosmos: Almost Invisible Galaxy Challenges Dark Matter Model) "“One possibility which is attractive, is that the unusual properties of Nube are showing us that the particles which make up dark matter have an extremely small mass” (ScitechDaily, Ghost in the Cosmos: Almost Invisible Galaxy Challenges Dark Matter Model))  Spanish astronomers made new fundamental observations of a dwarf galaxy called "Nube". That galaxy is almost invisible. And that thing makes it interesting. The new observations caused astronomers to introduce that dark matter has an extremely small mass. If hypothetical WIMPs weakly interacting massive particles are small-size particles with extremely slow spin, that thin
