The Airbus Zephyr-drone challenges satellites.





The Zephyr drone is created for the HARPS (High-Altitude Pseudo-Satellite) or atmospheric satellite program. The solar-power drone flies even for months or years in high altitudes. The Zephyr drone can rise to an altitude of 23 kilometers, and it can operate on scientific and military missions. 

HARPS means that high-altitude drones will replace some satellites. Those drones can carry things like radars, communication tools and infrared, and regular CCD cameras. And those drones can also carry small-size orbital vehicles to the high atmosphere before they will be launched. 

The thing that makes the high-flying large-size solar-power drones interesting is that they can rise things like Pegasus-rocket to high altitudes before those rockets will launch. Of course, Pegasus can rise to high altitude by using a balloon. 

Things like peace-time border and sea surveillance can be done using this kind of platform. The high-flying drone can use radars infrared and other kinds of systems that allows the drone to map areas. 

But the fact is that the solar-power-high flying drone can also use to offer mission-critical communication. But the fact is that the high-flying drone that uses solar power and stealth materials can be quite a hard target for air defense. That system can point targets for other weapon systems. 

And in some visions, those drones can arm by using some kind of directed energy weapons that protects them against incoming missiles. 

The thing is that the northern areas are causing problems with solar-power drones. But energy can deliver to those drones from power stations or ships by using the maser-rays or high-power radio waves. The fact is that things like photonic crystals are making solar panels more effective.

And photonic crystals can use to deliver electricity to solar panels. Also, there is an introduced idea that laser rays can deliver electricity to the solar panels of high-flying drones.

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....
