The evolution of Heinkel HE-III

I have got feedback that I have made mistake when I have chosen a picture for one of my texts. And the bomber of the picture would be Japanese Mitsubishi G4M "Betty"-bomber, but the picture is really Heinkel HE-III, what was in use of the "Pedro I" squadron of the  Condor Legion, and after the Spanish civil war the nose of that plane was planned and rebuild in the new form, and this form is one of the most iconic bombers in the WWII. Those changing in the shape of the aircraft claimed to made because of better aerodynamics, but there can be some other reasons for making that glass nose.

The glass structure was actually the mistake, and many times is asked the reason, why this bomber was remade for the new form? Was there something, what Nazis wanted to hide? Was something happens, what caused the reason for changing the form of the bomber? There are many questions about the actions of Hitler's Germany before the WWII, and one of the questions is, why those aircraft couldn't be planned or produced in a proper way?

There were many things, like bureaucracy and always changing models, what made brakes to produce the aircraft and other equipment. But advantages in allied equipment forced Germany to make aircraft and submarines what were very good on paper, but there were too few of them or they were unpractical in other ways.  Some of the new equipment like Type XXI submarines were grown in the size, what made impossible to fit them to shipyards, what was used for making Type VII submarines, and also new aircraft were not fit to the production lines.

The new tanks were too heavy for the lines and the afraid that the engineer who has made the mistakes were executed caused, that the errors in the modeling or production models were not told to the leaders of the war. And this was the reason, why Germans spent too much time with the rockets and other kinds of stuff, what was too advanced for producing even in peacetime was put in the production during the war. And they were not even tested before those things like some aircraft entered service.

Heinkel HE-III bomber was used on all fronts. That bomber used as the torpedo bomber against ships and there were questions, why the side engines would not equip with similar cannons, what used in the Bf-109 fighter, there were also planned to install rockets what were similar, that used in the British "Beaufighter" attack aircraft, Those rockets and cannons could give the low flying torpedo bomber extra firepower against the targeted ships. But then that thing ever installed to that bomber. This is one of the things, what is left as the questions of the Second World War.

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....
