The GPS satellites are not so easy to target as people think (Installing "Trophy-system into satellites)

GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) is a very good target for ASAT (Anti Satellite Weapons) because this satellite is giving the data for positioning for satellite-guided weapons like JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) and GPS guided bombs and missiles. Those weapons allow that combat aircraft would close in the target in free angle, and that makes those weapons so effective.

The GPS is the easiest way to locate the position of the own troops, warships, and aircraft. GPS is also used in the safety systems of some special cargo, what are the risk to get stolen like money and the nuclear weapons. This system sends the location information of those things, and that will make the stealing that equipment very difficult. If the security personnel would push the alarm button, that would send the information of emergency to the security company. And that's why GPS is the very vital role in the private or governmental security.

But if somebody would destroy the GPS-satellites the strike capacity of NATO task force will decrease, because the tactical support aircraft would need the precise information of own troops position. And that's why GPS-satellites are so important in those operations. But the use of ASAT-systems would cause big danger for those satellites. If the GPS-satellites are equipped with similar ADS-system, called "Trophy", what is used in the M-1 "Abrahms" tanks would that increase the probability of survivability, if the satellite would be getting attacked.

"Trophy"-type ADS is actually a microwave system, what uses multiple IR (Infra Red) sensors to detect incoming missiles, and then the microwave transmitter turns to those missiles, and the warhead of those missiles would be detonated too early. In the satellites that system might seem like some Sci-Fi space battle vehicle's gun turret. The similar system can easily install to the GPS-satellites, and that would allow destroying those incoming ASAT missiles. This would make some of those weapons unable to operate correctly. And that system would also be used against other satellites.

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....
