About conflicts in Middle-East and use of under-age combatants

One very traumatic thing in the Middle-East conflict is using children as soldiers in those conflicts. When ISIS or some other terrorist organization would deliver their propaganda, they introduce under-age persons, who are armed with assault rifles. And that version is probably in use at another side. The sultan's personal soldiers, Janissary have chosen in very young age, in Ottoman's Empire, and those warriors tradition have been transferred to modern Emir's special forces in Oman and other Middle-East countries.


There is one very interesting transformation about the Janissary training. The Sultan of Turkey claimed to those persons, that their parents were Christians, who have delivered their children as slaves to Sultan. That guaranteed the loyalty and hate against Christianity of those troops, what was known as their fanaticism and brave in the battle. The modern version of that political training could be that there would be that the children whose parents have been dead claimed that the terrorists or Islamic terrorists have caused the death of those persons, and that can cause hate for rest of that child's life.


Hate makes them the good target for the special forces recruiters, and if the death caused by the terrorist attack, would that increase the hate. In this version, the real reason for the death of those parents could be driven in drunk or overdose of heroin. The story, what will be told about that incident could motivate that person to take recruiting in some special units or mercenary companies could be surer than without that kind of motivator.  Have you ever thought that maybe somebody would guide the laser-guided bombs against civilians on purpose?


One of the most important purposes of showing child combatants is provoking the opponent to open the fire against targets, where are children. And then introducing those victims, would that terrorist organization want to get people sympathized their side. Smart weapons are very effective against tanks and hardened shelters. The use of those weapons is that the laser-guided bombs would be pointed to target, what is marked by the laser designator. The designator can be installed to the aircraft or it can use the operator, who might sit on the ground and point the laser designator to the target.


That person can be the regular combatant, special forces operator or agent. The use of those weapons has become more common because they give aircraft very effective tank busting capacity, and they help avoid the civilian casualties. But if the laser-guided weapon is targeted to the civilians, would the result be more deadly than making this strike by normal free-fall bombs. Sometimes smart weapons are criticized because they allow the assassination missions, where is used aircraft.



But the answer to critics has been that behind it is Russia or the Soviet Union, what wants to deny those bombs because they danger the tank-base tactics. But that might be only the propaganda of the CIA. And today is created very small size (1-10 kg) guided bombs, what can destroy any tank or cannon on the ground. And they can be used by F-15 or other fast attack aircraft, and they are created to replace cluster bombs in those anti-tank missions.

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....
