Drone swarms are network-based, independently operating systems.



The idea of network-based computing is simple. The computers are sharing their abilities through the network. That makes them able to run complicated computer programs. And one of the most complicated computer programs is artificial intelligence. In the case where the drone swarm must make complicated solutions. It requires complicated AI-based programs. 

Reprogramming the entire swarm is easy. The only needed thing is to program one drone. And then that drone scales the solution through the network. 

The new drone swarms are a good example of the power of network-based solutions. The drone swarms can interact with other systems and in the simplest model, they can cover large areas. And those groups of drones can transmit images to the base  AI-controlled drone swarm of thousands of quadcopters that can cover large areas. Those quadcopters can cooperate and if somewhere is something interesting the AI can send an image of that area to the commander. 



The drone swarms can control large areas. They can communicate with the ground units and assist the men who are in that area. In the case of military use, those drones can drop HEAT grenades on the roofs of tanks. Drones that are delivered from aircraft just before the attack can disturb the anti-aircraft missiles by flying between the missile battery and the aircraft. Or those drones can fly to the route of the attacking aircraft. If that kind of thing will get in the air intake that can cause bad damage to aircraft. 

They can track and aim the possible targets for other units. And those drones can drop to an area for confirming the existence of secretive systems. They can drop even from satellites and even the small size quadcopters can have infrared cameras and laser microphones. They can also use the same lasers with laser-spectroscopes. 

If drones are touching the ground they can have seismic sensors. Those systems can confirm the position of the narcotics laboratory or the bomber group that is under camouflage. The drone can also follow suspects in the case of law enforcement. And they can equip with the sun or lethal weapons that can use to neutralize suspects. 

The drones can highlight the area where is something that might interest the commanding staff. The thing in the network-based solutions is that each component of the entirety must not reprogram for every possible situation. There is enough that one of the components of the network-based solution is reprogrammed and then that unit can scale the new skills through the entire network. And that thing makes those network-based solutions flexible and powerful.

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....
