The rebellion of the robots can set entire civilization in danger

This is the writing about the situation, where robots would become dangerous for the human race. Those robots might be created by mankind, and they could be some space probes, what would be sent to another star in distant future. Those probes would lose contact with Earth and it would make the terrible situation for mankind. Also, they might be left by human or alien colonialists who have left their planet. The reason for leaving might be that the planet could be too hot or cold, and this causes the situation, where they should leave to another star system. Maybe those colonists would stop only because they needed to repair their spaceships and then they were gone. If they would not close the robot factories property, those machines would be wake up and become a threat.


The intelligence doesn’t necessarily mean that some species are living. In real life, scientists are creating robots, what are looking like animals like bugs. Those new kind of robots are working independently, and they don’t need electricity for working property. Those animal-shaped robots could be equipped with fuel cells, what can make electricity using alcohol or another hydrocarbon. Those artificial bugs can be same sized than butterfly or dragonfly. In this scenario, the person might have this kind of robot for guarding the house. Artificial dragonfly can use alcohol like spree to create the electricity for its operations. When this small size robot needs refueling, it just flies to the plate, where is alcohol, and then it uses it in its fuel cells. The CIA would use this kind of vehicles for intelligence missions. In the wildest dreams, those small-sized robots could someday investigate the surface of the Saturnian giant moon Titan.This kind of devices can use the hydrocarbon from this moons seas.


The only thing what is needed is that in those chemical combinations have oxygen. It can be separated from the molecules by using the active carbon filter. If we are thinking about artificial intelligence and this kind of devices, we must understand, that they can continue their job even if their creators have been gone. This is the problem with interstellar space flight. If we will send the space probe with sophisticated Artificial Intelligence, this probe could become a new species, because in this scenario I will begin with the thing, that those interstellar probes have the capacity to fix themselves and make the copy of themselves. In this scenario, the artificial intelligence starts to develop itself, and because that probe has been traveled to another star maybe millions of years, the communication between Earth and this probe has been cut.


I sometimes have thought that what will happen to the probes, what have been traveled pass their target star. In the scenario, what British Interplanetary society have called “Project Daedalus” the massive probe would be sent to the Barnard Star, and the key element of this mission is that this space probe will fly past the star, and then it starts the orbital probe when it comes near the planetary system. Those probes of the future must be equipped by sophisticated artificial intelligence, what can find materials from the space to replace its structural damages. And it could also make copies of itself. The machine, what makes copies of itself is called as the “Von Neumann-machines”. When the probe has passed the star, the communication with Earth will be minimized. And then probe would lose contact with humans. This doesn’t mean that the artificial intelligence would stop working.


The nuclear reactors and other power devices are fully operational, and if the probe would travel in the space using self-sustain fusion power with the interstellar ramjet, this probe would continue its missions, and if the message from Earth would not come, this device may start to make copies of itself. In other scenarios, the civilization would build automatized factories on some planet. Those factories would make the machines and parts independently. And when this civilization would leave from this planet, they might forget to shut down their factory. If this factory can make product development and revolutionize the productions independently, it can be the begin for new species, what is actually a robot. The robot civilization would become the threat to other species because it might be felt necessary to colonize other planets.


The problem of the robots is that if they are programmed to protect their creators, who have passed away, the situation would turn violent. If they would not get any vision, of the creature, what was planned to protect, the robots would start next level of the program. And they would maybe think that their masters are dead. Robots would not have imagined. Robots do not apply anything. So in this scenarios, if the masters of those robots are gone, those machines don’t make any investigations like archeological digging, if they are not involved in their programs.


And if their masters are gone, would robots start the counterstrike. The counter strike would be limited to the normal situation. When somebody would hit against the masters of those robots, the counterstrike would be stopped by another master. But if there would be no masters of the system, would the counterstrike become the massacre. And in this scenario, those robots might start to build spaceships for continuing the strike, because the programmers of this machine would not prepare for the situation, where there are no masters of this system. And it can cause the robot invasion of another planet.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
