Modern nano drones can use ion engines for maneuvers.




The miniaturized magnetohydrodynamic drive can be an excellent propulsion system for nano drones. 


What is the similarity between the fictional Cylon raider and the nano drone? The fictional Cylon raider has given inspiration for the ion engines that can use in the nano drones.

That thing is that both of those systems can use ion engines. Or sharper saying the water moving drone can use MHD (Magnetic Hydrodynamic Drive) for operating in liquid. All ion engines operate the same way. The propellant will ionize at the front of the magnetic accelerator. And then those ions will travel through that accelerator. 

The thing is that the tracks at the wings of the fictional Cylon raider could be the ion engines that can use in underwater conditions. The system can pull water ions through those channels and then that thing makes those systems operate. 

As I just wrote the small size of the nano drones is a problem for the engineers. It's hard to make moving parts for tiny machines that are smaller than blood cells. One of the solutions that can solve the problem with miniature propulsion is the small-size gauss accelerator or gauss track. The gauss-accelerator or gauss gun can turn to the MHD system very easily. The requirement is that the ions will travel through that track. 

The system will pull ions at the front of the track and drive them backward. That system would be the miniaturized version of the MHD system (Magneto-Hydrodynamic Drive) where magnets are pulling water from the front of the magnetic accelerator. And then the system will just transport those ions backward.

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....
