The Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau made tests in 1980's with very small size space-shuttle, what became famous, when some Australian P-3 "Orion" took the picture of this thing, what was mentioned as the "Soviet space fighter". The Soviet authorities claimed that the Soviet Union would not develop space shuttles, but the pictures, what are taken from the "Plesetsk-cosmodrome" have been shown something else. Here I must mention, that there were two shuttle programs in the Soviet Union. Another one was "Buran" the large spacecraft, what had the size like American space shuttle.


That program shut down after a couple of tests and the Western intelligence believed, the purpose of that miniature space shuttle were military, and it would be developed for destroying other spacecraft. There were also some other analyzes, what was frighten the Western world. Those analyzes were that the MiG-105 was the prototype of the next generation cruise missile, what could be more terrible than HCM (Hypersonic Cruise Missile)could ever be.


Because of the photos, what was taken by P-3 Orion, and where the small size lifting body would be rescued from the sea to the Soviet naval vessel made the engineers believed, that this missile, could be used the EKRANOPLAN or WIG (Win In-Ground) what is normally called the "ground effect airplane". This technology would allow, that the cruise missile would make the "parabolic jump", and then land to the altitude of three meters for the surface of the ocean. In some scenarios, this weapon could be equipped with three jet motors, what could be at the bottom of this thing.


Those jet engines would make the landing to the ground effect flight easily, and the missile would continue with ramjets or rocket engines, and the most effective those missiles would be against warships like aircraft carriers. This could make the missile more deadly, than ever. The Russian new HCS would use the same technology, what is used in the MiG-105.

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....
