Who were the Etruscans?

The most mystic thing in the Etruscans is their language. 


The DNA tests are proof that the DNA of that mysterious ethnic group that ruled the Italian peninsula before Romans is ordinary in that area. That means the origin of the Etruscans was in Asia Minor. The question is where do those people start to use that language?  Was it happening in Asia Minor? Or did those people start to use Etruscan in the Italian Peninsula? The thing that makes Etruscans interesting is their language? There are no known language relatives for that unique language. So who were Etruscans?

The thing is that the Etruscans who lived in the Italian Peninsula before Romans were a group of native people who absorbed their unique language and other behaviors like social codes from some ethnic group. Behaves of those people were common in Greece women were also allowed to participate in parties. 



"Extent of Etruscan civilization and the twelve Etruscan League cities". (Wikipedia, Etruscan Civilization)

And the position of women was better than in Ancient Greece. But otherwise, the behavior of those people was quite similar. So there is an "idol theory" that is introduced to explain the position of Etruscans. The "idol theory" is simple that the Etruscans were "fans" of some idol. The idea for that theory is coming from a human need to imitate their idols. 

So were the Etruscans some kind of servant for some other ethnic group? 

So maybe the original Etruscans were some people whose behavior and language transferred to local people. And that means the original Etruscans might be very respected people who might be some kind of nomads.  And the people who used that name of their community wanted to adapt the language that their idols used. 

There is the possibility that the first Etruscans were some warrior group that came from Asia Minor. And then people who contacted them started to use their language. But there might be a long journey between the source language. And the language what those people used in the Italian peninsula. The thing is that we don't know. Where the people who used Etruscans language started to use it. Did that thing happen in Asia Minor or was it happen in the Italian Peninsula?

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....
