Nanotechnology is one of the most powerful technologies in satellites.

In the future, nanotechnology can be a dominating tool. For military and civil space programs. When we think about the recon satellites the biggest threat to them in the future is the low-orbiter anti-satellite system. Those systems can be missiles. Or they can be direct energy weapons like high-power airborne laser systems. 

The future systems might not be similar to what they are today. The nanotechnical systems would be the large group of smaller satellites that operate as an entirety. 


The next-generation tool for civil and military space technology. Could be scanning optical telescopes. 


Nanotechnology makes it possible to create satellites and other things that were impossible before. The telescopes that are more powerful than James Webb can use nanotechnology. The idea in those telescopes is that they are forming a linear telescope group. That telescope group is tied together in the wire. That wire is connected to the axle in the middle of the satellite. In those telescopes could be extremely long rotating wires that can rotate around.

The scanning optical (Multi-mission) telescope

1) Optical telescope

2) Satellite and axle. There are communication systems in that part. 

Arrow= The rotational direction. 


In diagram 1 you might see the principle of that system. In the point of view of recon operations, we could say that those satellites could be the "Optically enhanced Rhyolites". Rhyolite satellites are the geostationary ELINT satellites. Those new satellites could have optical telescope sensors and active radar. 

The idea of the geostationary multi-mission recon satellites is that those systems can cover the same areas by using multiple sensors. When some important things are visible. Those satellites turn their telescopes to that point simply turning the mirror. And the same time the system can turn to use radar and passive ELINT sensors. 

So there is a large number of small telescopes. Connected to one satellite which is rotating them like a whip. That kind of satellite can have an extremely sharp system. And the size of the satellite can be very small. When that large telescope is needed the satellite can release those telescope groups. And when that large telescope is not needed the optical antenna can pull back in. 

Large-size telescopes can be extremely good tools for astronomical systems and civil and military recon satellites. The fact is that the large telescope that is farther than the moon can make many recon missions. The large size recon telescopes can be far away from the range of the low altitude ASAT systems.

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....
