The 3D printing systems can revolutionize hypersonic flight.

3D printed catalysts are the new materials for hypersonic flight. The catalysts are a mixture of metal and synthetic minerals. But if the printing temperature is high enough that kind of system can mix the carbon fiber, metal, and quartz chrystals. That kind of material can have new abilities for new space and aviation technology. 

The 3D printing systems make it possible to create new forms for the body of hypersonic systems. The cell-type structure between the outer surface and the core of the aircraft is making the hypersonic flight more secure. 

The friction will heat the aircraft core to an extremely high temperature. And the cell-looking structure where is a vacuum layer in the cells minimizes the heat transfer to the inner core. If the hypersonic aircraft can jump to ballistic or low Earth-orbiting trajectory the 3D printer systems can also fix the damages of the aircraft's body or heat shield.

The 3D printers are more flexible systems than traditional spare parts because 3D printers can create any possible mechanical spare part. When the 3D printer system is making things like ventilators. The printing system can make every part of the ventilator separately. The system requires only the assembly orders and measures. Then the 3D printer makes those parts separately. And then robots will assemble them. The system can also have lasers that search for errors.

And also lasers are used to finish the part and remove errors in the structures. In some visions, the hypersonic aircraft can equip with holes. Where some kind of cold liquid can pull outside if the core of the aircraft is overheating. When manipulators are installed in the aircraft's core. And they are equipped with a 3D carbon fiber or metal printer. 

That allows fixing the damaged core during the flight inside the atmosphere. But if the aircraft can rise the outside of the atmosphere is possible to use a long manipulator for fixing holes. That kind of system can be mounted in the Mars craft. That system can fix the damages during space flight to Mars and back.

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....
