The strange thing about the RMS Titanic

RMS Titanic sunk in 1914, and that process took over two hours, and that means the ship could be evacuated in very good order. But the lifeboats were not laid down in the right time, and that meant, the ship went down with many passengers. This accident was one of the most horrifying things, what happened in the peacetime sea routes. The accident of Titanic made a very bad thing for the White Star line's public image. And the reputation of some passengers and crew members were lost forever because they claimed to favor the first class passengers, and that caused the situation, that the third class passengers left in the trap at the lower deck, because of the doors to the lower decks were closed.

In the film below is the real-time film about sinking, and by looking at it, you might realize, how long the sinking took. And if captain Smith would be ordered to drive back the ship could sink even slower. This is only speculation. But delivering lifeboats could begin earlier, and the major question is, why those lifeboats delivered with half empty? Why the crew didn't look that the lifeboats were filled with people?

The sister ship of the Titanic, HMHS Britannic hit to mine at Aegean sea in 1916, and the sinking of that ship took an hour. In that case, only 30 persons died, what is an interesting detail because that ship was served as the hospital for wounded soldiers. That means those persons couldn't be in the best physical condition, what means that those evacuation plans were very good. The good question is, why Titanic was overbooked? Why there was too little number of lifeboats? And how it passed the check if there were not enough places in the lifeboats at the emergency situations?

Or could there be something else reasons, for the great number of survivors? Was that ship used for some other purposes than a hospital ship, or were those men so little wounded, that they could walk away from that ship? This is a very interesting detail in that story because if that ship was full of wounded patients, who need surgery, was the moving to the lifeboats be very painful. And sometimes somebody has told the joke, that the ship was served as the headquarters of the British southern front in the World War II.

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....
