Super-powerful slingshot would take rockets to the orbiter.




One start-up company tests an interesting method for launching satellites to the orbiter. That method is just to use the extremely powerful slingshot that accelerates the rocket to the orbiter. Without the need to use rocket engines. If that thing is successful. It would solve one of the biggest problems of rocketry. That thing is noise. 

If the use of rocket engines can replace by using the magnetic track or slingshot that thing would make spaceports more common than they are now. The slingshot or spin shot is the model that this company uses. There is a video of this system above this text. The system uses a centrifugal launcher. 

Another way would be to use the high-altitude airship. The original launching system cannot use because it's too heavy. But the High-altitude airship or HAA. Can take the small rocket to an altitude of 20-30 kilometers. And that thing makes it possible to launch the small rockets to higher altitudes than the ground-based system allows. 





If the system uses a long whip it can take the rocket higher. The whip is giving more launching energy to the small rocket. And then the computer-controlled hook would release the rocket. The whip would be at the side of the airship and then it would just throw the capsule to orbit. A small rocket or satellite can launch by using the whip. And then it can simply throw that rocket to a higher altitude.

 Or the whip can rotate a couple of times, and that thing would give power to the rocket. This kind of slingshot launcher can also interest military operators. They can use to shoot grenades to long distances. And if the system uses an open structure that thing can be very highly mobile. If those high-tech slingshots replace cannons.  That makes it possible to use all kinds of grenades in the same system. And no flame can uncover the position of the firing station. So this is one of the reasons why this kind of system is 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....
