China develops a new submerging attack drone.




Flying submarine is coming to reality. Chinese military develops a new drone that can operate underwater and under airborne conditions. The system's weight is 7,8 tons. And it's developed with electro-optical systems, synthetic aperture radars, and antiship weapons. The wingspan of that unmanned drone is about 20 meters. 

The details of that system are: "The unmanned aircraft features a wingspan of 20.5 meters, has a maximum takeoff weight of 7.8 tons, and is capable of carrying a wide range of payloads, including electro-optic systems, synthetic aperture radar, early warning radars, electronic reconnaissance systems, air-to-ground missiles and bombs, anti-radiation missiles and loitering munitions."

The quadcopters and other drones that can operate underwater and airborne are not new. Those drones can slip into the closed area and search for interesting things. 

Recon drones can eavesdrop on buildings by using laser microphones. And film computer screens. But those drones can also be armed. They can use to destroy electronics or eliminate enemy commanders. 

Even a pizza-delivery drone can turn into a lightweight attack device very easily. The operators must replace pizza boxes with remote-operating rocket launchers. And that kind of system can offer deadly surprises. Maybe they are not so effective in the battle zone. But actors like drug cartels might use that kind of system. 

The fact is that drones are a great opportunity but they are also a big threat to security. The tinderbox-size drone can equip with small-caliber guns. And those kinds of extremely small drones are hard to detect. Operators can throw that drone from a high-flying cargo plane and that kind of system can pass the security of the targets very easily. Operators can control those drones over the internet. And they can be thousands of kilometers away from the operating zones.

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....
