Researchers plan to send a probe to Mars by using a powerful laser system.




The lasers are allowing to send spacecraft to orbiter without pollution. That thing makes them a very powerful tools. In the most futuristic plans, the extremely powerful nuclear-powered lasers can send the spacecraft even to other solar systems. And the same lasers that send spacecraft to orbiters and other planets can use as ASAT (Anti Satellite-systems). Those lasers could destroy satellites from the orbiter. 

There is planned to use giant laser systems for lifting satellites to the orbiter of the Earth. And also those lasers could use to send probes to outer solar systems. The problem with those giant lasers is that the systems are heating the spacecraft. That heat effect can minimize by cooling the satellite as cold as possible. The use of lasers for sending spacecraft to orbiters is not new.

In those systems, the laser ray makes hot air under the craft. And that effect lifts the craft from the ground. In some other plans, the laser ray that is inside the craft would use to vaporize liquid hydrogen. That thing can use to thrust spacecraft. The lasers can also use for vaporizing the metals that are driven to particle accelerators. Those particle accelerators can be used as ion motors. 


Graphene-based high-power particle accelerators can be used as ion engines.

As lasers, the ion cannons can use to push the craft upward. The craft can be equipped with the opposite polar electric load than the ion flow. That allows to rise it to the orbiter. 

The graphene and lasers are making it possible to create intense powerful ion accelerators. Those systems can use as an engine in spacecraft. The ion engines are particle accelerators. The graphene-ion accelerator can use for creating thrust for spacecraft. The thing is that the high-energy accelerators can also use as space weapons for the killer satellites whose primary objective is to destroy enemy satellites. The killer satellites can also deliver ions to the atmosphere for disturbing enemy communication.

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....
