The United States Of America has legalized the 3D-printed weapons. Manufacturing the 3D-printed weapons is quite expensive, and there is needed 3D-printer, what can produce steel parts. That thing is a modified MIG-welding machine, and it's quite expensive. Also, the system needs the CAD-models of every single part of the gun, and then the system must be sharp enough, that the parts would be fitted together. This is why normal people must not be worried about this technology, and that kind of systems are actually so expensive, that lone gunmaker would not have change or willing to pay the prize about that machine.


When we are thinking about the tests, where the guns are made by using 3D-printers, the parts of the weapon have been scanned by using laser scanners for taking precise right form and dimensions of every part of that weapon. So this is the very expensive project, and that's why would be easier to produce illegal weapons by using conventional methods. That's why those weapons, what are made by using 3D-printers  are not very common in the hands of hobbyists and other persons.


But those expensive manufacturing tools can be bought by the actors like drug cartels and Mafia, but those organizations have their channels, where they can get weapons. And also some motorcycle clubs may have the interest to buy the 3D-printing system, what can manufacture weapons. As you see, manufacturing the machine parts is not so easy, as people normally believe. The dimensions and form of the part must be made exactly right, or the gun or another machine would not work. Of course is possible that somebody would draw the gun parts by using CAD-programs or scans them to the net by using laser-scanners.


And there is an application for the mobile telephone, what can be used for that thing, but the scanning must happen in the right way, and the telephone should not shake during the process. Of course, there is need the model, what can be used for that action. This is the question of the 3D-printed weapons. If somebody would want this stuff, that person would get it, but that would need highly professionalism to make working weapons or other machines. But there are organizations, what are willing to pay for those skills.

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....
