A Swarm of tiny drones can search for life from distant worlds.



Tiny swimming drones can search for life in the oceans of the distant worlds like oceans on the icy moons of Jupiter. The system that delivers those drones into the ocean might look like a virus. The system can make a hole in the ice by using lasers. 

Or some other electromagnetic radiation. Then the system delivers those drones to the ocean. The drone swarm can use cloud-based network architecture for handling information. And they must operate very independently. 

And those drones can send information to the surface module. The surface module will transmit that data to Earth.  

But there must be an alternative system. That ensures that data can send to Earth. In the cases that the surface unit fails. There is the possibility that when the surface unit makes a hole in the ice. That system will fall through the ice core.

The drone swarms at another planet are interesting things. But also places like the South Pole on the Earth are places where those swimming drone swarms are suitable for mapping the lifeforms. Swimming nano-drones can also measure pollution and other kinds of things. 

But the drone swarms are also suitable for searching and observing things like submarines. The AI-controlled swimming drone swarm can slip to submarine bases and can search for secretive information. 

Those microrobots can carry by using miniature- robot submarines that are looking like torpedoes. But if those drone swarms have a suitable power source those drones can also swim to their target independently. The carbon-fiber materials and nuclear batteries make it possible that the quadcopters can operate underwater and in airborne conditions. The carbon fiber materials are making it possible. That those drones can swim very deep. 

The new radioisotope technology is making it possible to make very small-size interchangeable radio thermal generators. Those systems are like normal batteries. But their energy source is in a radioactive breakup.

Those nuclear batteries can install in regular drones. And they are easy to handle. So they can offer operational time that lasts for years for even regular small-size quadcopters.

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....
