The National Museum of Finland

Thinking about the shape of the National Museum of Finland is a very fascinating trip to the mind of the architect. This building is a national monument in Helsinki, and it locates near the House of the Parliament, and it's very easy to find. That building is made by three Finnish architects, Gesellius (1), Lindgren (2), and Saarinen (3), who are very famous for their works. In the national museum is the story of the history of Finland, and it's a very popular place to visit.


Sometimes I have thought about the profile of that building and noticed the tower's similarity with the rocket, what is in the cover page of the book "Ulos Avaruuteen".  I know that this is only a coincidence, but there is the very big similarity with the rocket, what is in that book's cover page and the tower of National Museum. This kind of things makes the world a very interesting place to live and give the direction for living.



I know, that this feels crazy, but this tower brings an idea in my mind, that maybe Geselius and his fellows planned space rockets in secrecy, but I know that I have very good imagination. That would be a good topic for some political thriller, and maybe in some day, somebody would write a story of three architects, who would draw rockets, and cover that thing as the plans of the tower of the National Museum.


And maybe the writer would use early deaths of those men as the murder, what causes, that somebody wanted to hide something. In real life Herman Gesellius (1874-1916) died at the age of 42. Armas Lindgren (1874-1929) age of 55 and Eliel Saarinen  (1873-1950) age of 77. Sometimes I have thought that maybe Gesellius and Lindgren would hide some of their projects from Saarinen, whose home language was Finnish. Maybe Gesellius and Lindgren were in the same class, and they had connections from that time, and Saarinen was little bit outsider because he was born in the different year. But this is only the speculation and those years of the born was only coincidence.


And the broken relationship between those men tells that there were problems. Only Saarinen saw old age, but as you see, both of his colleagues have not died extraordinary young. If they have smoked tobacco all of their life, that would cause cancer and death. But sometimes I have thought that did somebody put some chemicals in the Gesellius cigarettes causing the death at the age 42. But that is only thinking, and those architects were cremated after death and their ashes were laid in the lake of Hvittrask near Helsinki, a place where they spend their young-hood.

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....
