There are two speeds of sound on the planet Mars.

If we will put the microphone in a chamber and there is similar gas pressure and gas mixture with the atmosphere of the planet Mars, we could make fundamental acoustic sensors. That system makes it easier to separate low- and high-pritch acoustic waves from each other. These kinds of sensors can use to detect seismic sounds. And it can also separate the sources of the sounds. 

There would be no music on planet Mars. The reason for that is this. Low-pritch and high-pritch sound waves travel at two different speeds. 

On ScitechDaily, the speed of sound on planet Mars is described like this. "On Mars-planet, low-pitched sounds travel at about 240 meters per second, while higher-pitched sounds move at 250 meters per second". But what would somebody make with the speed of sound on another planet? 

The fact is that this kind of information can be useful when researchers are making sensors that mission is to separate different sound sources from each other. In that kind of system, the microphones will be in a chamber where is similar gas pressure and gas mixture that is in the atmosphere of planet Mars. 

And that gas mixture will make it possible to separate the low- and high pitched sounds from each other. That thing can make it possible to create new types of acoustic analysis systems. Those systems can use to analyze the type of things that are making the sound.

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....
