Helium balloons and small space launch vehicles can be the ultimate combination.



The "environment-friendly" or "wallet-friendly" space tourism by using helium balloons is one of the most interesting things in space exploration. The cost of that fun would be about 50 000 USD. Space tourism is accelerating the industrial and scientific use of space because the technologies are made for space tourism are suitable for people who have no astronaut training. And space tourism is a good method to bring investors for the industrial use of space. 

The idea is that the passengers would travel to the edge of space by using helium balloons where is the pressurized cabin. That kind of system would cost less money than the rocket and the views from the high atmosphere are impressive. But the helium balloons can also rise small rockets and space shuttles to the high atmosphere before their rocket stages start to operate.

The miniature rockets and space shuttles like Pegasus rocket and Dream Chaser space plane can use in scientific missions. But those systems can also equip with small-size remote-control laboratories. In those miniaturized laboratories the operators can grow crystals. That is used in the resonance circuits of the radio transmitters. New chemical compounds that can be used in nanotechnology can produce in the microgravitational environment. 

But those small-size space systems can also interest the military and intelligence operators. The small-size rockets can carry miniaturized recon satellites to low-orbiter. And that kind of satellite can observe the WLAN networks on Earth. But they can also collect data from the communication between hostile recon satellites and earth stations.

Also, the miniaturized recon satellites can observe other satellites by using CCD and gamma-ray cameras. Those systems can uncover recon and sleeping satellite bombers like FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment System) which can use for surprise attacks. And satellite-based EMP bombs which purpose is to suppress the communication and combat support systems. Also, satellite-based EMP systems can use to destroy hostile military satellites in conflicts. 

The miniature satellites and space planes can also be used in combat missions. They might equip with rockets or DEW (Directed Energy Weapons). Those systems can destroy other satellites. 

And that thing is making them very capable. In the cases of conflicts. The killer satellites can destroy GPS, communication, and recon satellites. And that makes them an excellent tool for the military. The targets for killer satellites are the combat support systems that are used to control the combat drones and aim the GPS-guided weapons. The size of the killer satellite is not very big. And those systems are already in use or under development.

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....
