China is planning to create over a kilometer-long spacecraft.

Above this text is an image of the Chinese modular space station. The planned modular structural "Tiangong"-space station is an impressive plan. That is possible to make by using existing technology. The modular structures are also used in the ISS-space station. Similar modular structures can be used in spacecraft. The difference between space stations and spacecraft is that the spacecraft can use various trajectories or return to the Earth.

The space station uses fixed trajectories. It cannot return home in one piece. Artificial intelligence-based automation makes it possible to make the structures that are combining those structures by using the small modules that can dock themselves together. And that thing is forming the large entirety. The computers of those modules can also act as supporting life-support systems and they can run artificial intelligence that mission is to find the leaks and damages from the systems and structures.

The system can use RFID chips for observing leaks. Those RFID chips are released to the cabin. And the direction where they are traveling uncovers the leak. Also, things like artificial bugs can use to uncover the damages in the electric wires. And other things that are important for the missions. Those robot flies or butterflies can search for things like fungus or damaged insulators. They can also observe the crew and send the data to the command center.

The large-size space stations might be the gate to more ambitious space projects. And one of those hypothetical projects is the so-called "O'Neill cylinder". The giant space station where is cultures for vegetables and what can offer the door to the colonization of the entire solar system.

In some visions in the future, in our solar system travels "artificial worlds" or O'Neill-cylinders. Giant space stations are filled with cultures which purpose is to make nutrients for the crew and passengers of those traveling worlds. Those O'Neill cylinders would use the planet's gravity fields to keep it in course between planets. And the idea of those traveling space stations has been coming from the Troyan asteroids.

The kilometer-long space stations can act as the simulators for O'Neill cylinders.

The creation of the kilometer-long spacecraft can simply make by docking the cylinder-shaped spacecraft together. That thing requires only that there are enough those cylinders in use. In the modern version of the modular spacecraft, those cylinders can launch by using separated launches. And when those cylinders are returned to the Earth they can simply separate from the structure and then return to base by using parachutes.

That kind of system requires a large number of launches. The modular structures that are planned to use in this kind of project are the most conventional way to make the large spacecraft and space station structures.

This type of spacecraft is not so difficult to make as people normally think. By using modular structures like rocket stages that can connect in space there is possible to make extremely large-size spacecraft. The idea of the modular space station was introducing by Wernher von Braun. The original idea was to connect the rocket stages of the Saturn V rocket. Those stages planned to launch separately by using their rockets. So every part of the space station has its launch vehicle.

And each part would launch independently. The rocket stages would equip by using airlocks. And the vacuum would remove the fuel and oxygen from the tanks in the orbiter trajectory where those parts will dock together to large entirety. That system bases on old-fashion technology. The new version where is used the shuttle technology where the parts can reuse allows making the kilometer-long spacecraft what can return to the ground.

In that vision, the re-usable rockets are launch to orbiting trajectory. Then they can dock together. And when it's time to return home that system will separate those rockets and they would make the independent landings. That kind of system can be extremely long. And docking the tanks to the series. Is not so fundamental that it requires a new type of technology. But anyway, those Chinese systems are impressive-looking plans.

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....
