What are mysterious islands, what are marked on maps, but what is not exist?

When we are talking about islands, what has been on maps, but when the scientists or military went to the place, they would not find anything. The most famous of those exciting creatures are "Sandy island" and "Crocker island" what is marked to maps, but what does not exist.  The first one was marked in New Caledonia, and if that island would have existed, it belongs to French areas, what are beyond the sea.


The "Crocker" island is a place, what polar explorer Peary marked on the map, but this island is not actually existed. So why they are in the maps? The most common explanation for that mystery is that "Island" was the area, where naval vessels met their support ships for getting ammunition, powder and other merchandise. That rendezvous-area marked the island because the ships must find together in that area.


A quite small island would be good marking for the area, where the ships must wait for their opponents. The supply must be loaded in secrecy because if there were some kind of rebellion, those warships would not able to sail to harbors freely. And if the support ship would be uncovered, those cargo ships would be good targets for real warships. But when we are thinking about the lost islands in somewhere in the southern Pacific or Atlantic, we must understand that those islands, what are far away from civilization.


And if there would be tested some secret submarines or naval aircraft, those areas might be whipped off from Google maps. This thing helps keep those bases secret, and the conditions in the small islands are similar than in Aircraft carriers, but because there is no carrier crew, that would help to keep those planes secret. And in those islands can be set the cruise missiles, what can be quite big threat for ships in their range. Also, space rockets can be launched from those isolated islands. So that's why they might be erased from the maps. This could be some other explanation for missing islands.

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

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
