What kind of things are dangerous for even the most powerful men on Earth?

When the world went to war in 1914, the ruler of the Austria-Hungary double monarchy was 84 years old emperor Franz-Joseph, who kept his nation in the iron hand. This thing was actually very interesting because this man didn't name the man who will follow him as the ruler of that country. The eldest son of the emperor died in unsure circumstances in the castle of Meyerling, and the problem was that the Emperor did stop the investigations, and then removed the picture of his eldest son Rudolph from all public magazines.


The cause of the death was probably double suicide, but some investigators suspect, that Franz-Joseph was shot those victims in the anger. But here I not writing only about the Meyerling incident. I'm writing about things what made other nations suspected, that everything was not alright in the family of Habsburgs.


The thing that gave the reason to suspect, that old emperor had something personal to hide, was that he kept the power of the nation in his iron hand at the age of 84. Because Franz-Joseph was kept his personal position in the nation, gave the tip that there was something personal to hide. Something bad was hide from the old man's own family. What was this man afraid is lost in the history? What was the thing, what made one of the most powerful men in Europe afraid?


Was it the cause of the death of the Rudolf the crown prince of the Austria-Hungary, and Maria Vetsera? In that case, were made many mistakes, and one of them was that bodies were moved before the investigators came. And in some theories are that Maria Vatsera shot crown prince by an accident, and then herself because she was afraid the hate of Franz-Joseph. Or maybe the shooter was somebody third person, who might set up the double suicide. I


Did those shootings were made by accident or on purpose is remaining in the secret forever.  In this theory, those two persons were drunk, and then the accident happened. Did they met their fate by the double suicide or did Franz-Joseph killed them under the influence of alcohol? The crown prince was the only son of the Franz-Joseph, and if the reason for killing that man was the domestic violence, this might be the very hard thing for Franz-Joseph.


When we are thinking the reason, why Franz-Joseph didn't want to see the faces of his son after the Mayerling incident, was that maybe he was used violence in his family. And this man was afraid the revenge of the family if he were given the chair of the power to someone else. So he kept the power until the end of his life at 1916.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
