Did somebody steal a revolutionary submarine in Antarctica?

The submarine "Ran" disappeared in Antarctica. "Ran" was one of the most modern autonomous underwater systems. The ability to make complex missions made Ran a very powerful tool. And many operators from private to governments want this kind of tool.

The highly advanced submarine "Ran" was a revolutionary robot submarine that brought information about climate change and ice glaciers. The submarine disappeared under the ice without a trace. The fact is this: Ran was full of electronics and computer programs that allowed it to operate independently under ice.

That technology is suitable for other ROVs and undersea UAVs. So the question is, did somebody steal that submarine? The submarine was a revolutionary tool, the fully automatic, AI-controlled package that can operate under ice or in an environment where it is programmed. That means the Ran is suitable for recon and sabotage missions in its current form.

"The autonomous underwater vehicle Ran was programmed to perform missions under the ice shelf. An advanced multibeam sonar was used to map the base of the ice at a distance of about 50 metres.

The image above: "Ran" could operate independently in complex missions.

The AI-driven submarine could operate in a more complex way than the old-fashioned AUVs. And that means there could be people, who want that submarine. The AUVs with highly advanced AI can follow the manned submarines, and cover their back.

The AUVs can communicate with full-scale submarines. There is a lot of potential in those AUVs. And we must remember that the Russian Status-6 "Poseidon" is one of the AUVs. There are also conventional versions of that monster, equipped with a 50 mt. thermonuclear device.

Those conventional AUVs can operate independently, and they can cut communication lines using manipulator arms or explosives. There can be both types of AUVs the kamikaze versions and systems that deliver torpedoes and underwater kamikaze drones. Some quadcopters can operate as well underwater- and airborne. The fact is that the Ran was full of technology. That was suitable for those systems.

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...
