What is MIRV (Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle)?

Kimmo Huosionmaa People normally ask what actually means term MIRV? The term means that nuclear missile carries many warheads, what it can target to the same point or different locations on the enemy ground. This means that one “Sarmat” missile can destroy one big area or 24 cities around the world. Term MRV (Maneuverable Reentry Vehicle) means normally that nuclear missile carries warheads, what can change their course during flight. This weapon is very devastating, and it can avoid kinetic energy ABM (Anti Ballistic Missile) system. That warhead is equipped with sensors, what notices the incoming ABM-rocket, and then it starts to turn, what makes the direct hit to target very difficult. Intercontinental ballistic missiles would operate many ways, and there would be many advantages in that equipment since 1960’s. Modern missiles are equipped with artificial intelligence, what makes the defense against them difficult. First, the hit to enemy ground would happen that some warheads detonated in orbital trajectory. That would cause damages to radars and other equipment, what are guided those ABM-systems. Also, some of those warheads could probably return to Earth and re-installed to missiles. That makes the threatening with those weapons more effective because those weapons can send to the skies and park over the enemy capital city. And if the war would begin, those weapons can strike with warning time, what takes seconds.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

"This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things. That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries. "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

(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
