The James Webb Space telescope begins a new era in astronomy.

The first images of the JWST telescope are fantastic. They are giving data about things like the exoplanet's atmosphere. And many other things. There is the possibility that the JWST telescope will see the first evidence of the multiverse and that thing is one of the most stunning expectations that is given to that impressive instrument. Maybe someday the JWST telescope sees the shine that comes outside our universe. 

And that thing will be the most impressive case in astronomy since Galileo Galilei noticed that four moons are orbiting Jupiter. The thing is that the JWST telescope will find many new things that have never been seen before. The sum of all hopes and fears is that one day the JWST telescope plasma spectrometer one day sees that there is some kind of molecules in the atmosphere of some exoplanet that cannot form in nature. That thing will prove that there is an intelligent civilization.

And in the scariest visions, the light that transmits this information left 3000 years ago. So that means the hypothetical aliens would be at the same technological level as we are now 3000 years ago. Those things came to my mind when I saw the first published images of the JWST telescope from the net. When we are looking at image 2, which is the calibration image from the Pleides star cluster we see the material bridges that travel between those stars. 

The image portrays the advancement of the sensor technology from Wise which is on the left side, to Spizer-telescope, which image is in middle. And then on the right side is the JWST image. The complete list of those images is at the top link below this text.

Maybe also the gravitational wave sensors would send to space.

In the space, nothing limits the size of the structures. Laser beams can travel directly over very long distances. And if scientists put a gravitational wave sensor in space, they wouldn't depend on the horizon and the size of the Earth. They can make gravitational wave sensors that a laser beam passes through the solar system

And maybe "quite soon" the TAU (Thousand astronomical Units) mission would become true. The original TAU mission was the spacecraft that researches Kuiper Belt. 

There is introduced an idea of the "Modified TAU"-mission. This system could be the most effective gravitational wave detector. In that modified system the TAU spacecraft would aim the laser ray at the sensor satellite that is on the trajectory near the Earth. 

Or there could be three laser satellites at the three different points of the Kuiper belt. Then they would form the triangle-shaped laser frame that could observe the gravitational waves with very high accuracy.

But do we need ground-based telescopes anymore?

But do we need ground-based telescopes anymore? The fact is that astronomy transferred to the use of infrared with gamma- and X-ray wavelengths. Ground-based telescopes cannot reach those wavelengths because the atmosphere absorbs them effectively. The infrared frequency allows the system to see the planets around the stars. And gamma- and X-rays are effective tools to give information about the high-energy reactions in the universe. 

Ground-based telescopes cannot see through the dust and ice that surrounds stars. But those telescopes can make observations about the movements of the asteroids and moons of solar systems. But spaceborne systems are making it possible to use those radiation frequencies that deliver data from the things that are hiding in dust and ice. 

The fact is that space telescopes are in more stable conditions than ground-based telescopes. So things like earthquakes are not disturbing those telescope's deep-sky missions. And the rotation of the Earth doesn't limit the observation time of the space telescopes.

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....
