Astronomers found a one-kind-of of the triple star system.



"Artist’s interpretation of HD 98800, a quadruple-star system located 150 light-years away in the constellation TW Hydrae. Bin Liu and Alejandro Vigna-Gomez suggest that the more massive tertiary-star system"

"TIC 470710327 could have started in a similar configuration – two binary systems with one of them eventually merging into one, bigger star. TIC 470710327 is located very close to “Cassiopeia”. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA" (ScitechDaily.com/“One of a Kind” Massive Triple Star System Detected)


The massive triple-star system TIC 470710327 is very special. The reason for that is those stars are extremely massive. The binary stars have a combined mass of 12 times the Sun. But the third component has the mass of 16 suns. 

The binary stars are orbiting each other very close. And because the third component is heavier than binary stars, that means the system is not yet stable. The binary stars might turn to orbit the third component. 

Because the third component is larger. That means the TIC 470710327 is not been a triple-star system very long time. Maybe the origin of this system is in the quadruple star. In that case, another pair of those star pairs have melted together.  

Or maybe, the binary star pair has impacted to heavier star's gravitational field. That explains why the heavier component is still orbiting the binary star. 

The star system is made up of a binary set of stars, two stars that orbit each other, and one more massive star that orbits the binary. There are many similar star systems in the universe. 

But the TIC 470710327 contains very heavy stars. And that makes it unique. Another thing that makes TIC 470710327 unique is that its third component is heavier than binary components. 

This kind of stellar system is interesting even if they have probably no exoplanets. But there is always the possibility that there are some cold exoplanets outside that system. Or those exoplanets can also orbit between those stars. In that case, those planets might be burning hell. There would be no lifeforms on those planets. But they might be very interesting. 

Even if planets cannot form in those solar systems there is always the possibility that the massive stars capture some rogue planets. There are calculations that many of the planets in the Milky Way are rogue planets. Those planets are formed of nova or supernova remnants after their star exploded as nova or supernova. 

Or the eruption of their star pushed those planets away from their orbiter. Maybe Pluto and most of the Kuiper Belt asteroids are turning to interstellar travelers after the Sun erupted nova when it used its fuel.

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....
