The Engine That Cannot Survive Itself
The scramjet does not carry its oxygen. It inhales it at Mach 5 and burns it before the air knows what happened. That single fact separates it from every propulsion system ever built, and it is the reason the scramjet remains, two decades after its most dramatic demonstration, an engine that works for ten seconds…

Stochastic Modeling: Simulating Isotope Decay via Monte Carlo Algorithms in C++17
In high-energy physics and nuclear engineering, deterministic equations often fall short when modeling quantum behaviors or particle-detector interactions. To bridge this gap, computational physics relies heavily on stochastic methods—specifically, Monte Carlo simulations. Before starting my upcoming nuclear and particle physics framework at Czech Technical University in Prague (ČVUT, FJFI), I developed an independent C++17 project…

The Cowardice of the Anti-Nuclear Consensus
Nuclear energy killed fewer people than coal. That sentence should end the debate, but it never does, and the reason it never does is the first thing worth examining. Chernobyl is not a memory for my generation. Fukushima unfolded when we were children, and whatever appeared on television left no trace most of us can…

Fusion Energy and the Art of Perpetual Promise
Fusion energy has been thirty years away since 1950. In the 1970s they promised it by 2000. In the 1990s, by 2020. The current target is 2050. This is not a timeline. It is a tradition of postponement, and anyone who treats the next announcement as different from the last one is not paying attention…

The Weapon That Outran Human Judgment
The Cold War’s “Mutually Assured Destruction” no longer works. You fire a nuclear missile, the other side sees it in thirty minutes, retaliates, and those thirty minutes kept diplomacy alive. Hypersonic weapons shattered that arithmetic: five times the speed of sound, unpredictable trajectory, five to ten minutes of warning. Existing defense systems cannot see them.…
