Dart made its mission and impact on its target asteroid "Dimorphos"

Dart spacecraft impacted its target "Dimorphos"-asteroid. The NASA plan was to test planetary defense against asteroids. The biggest problem with planetary defense is that most of the asteroids that cause threats are quite small.

The probe must use advanced AI for finding the right asteroid. Then it must find the position. That is the most effective for turning asteroids. And then impact in that precise target.

That is also a lucky thing because turning the small asteroid away from its trajectory is easy. If that asteroid is located before impact. If that asteroid can push away from its trajectory that system doesn't need nuclear weapons.

But if there is needed to use nuclear explosives the spacecraft can land on the surface of the asteroid. And then that system can drill the nuclear detonator to the center of the asteroid, where the heat expansion breaks its core.

The images that the probe sends before impact are giving data of the gravitational field of "Dimorphos". There are small rocks on that asteroid.

That tells there are no outside gravitational effects on that asteroid. That kind of gravitational effect could hover those rocks from the asteroid. Data that this probe sends could help to make models for microgravitational effects.

A Swarm of miniature satellites can act as the ASAT weapons.

If we are thinking of the Dart system as the base for the "Killer satellites" we can think that killer satellites are swarms of miniature satellites that are orbiting Earth. When those satellites see targets they activate their engines and impact their targets.

Those satellite swarms can also soot to the trajectories. That the ICBM missiles are using. In that system, the idea is that the ICBM impacts those miniature satellites. And those satellites can have guns that make them shoot warheads and MIRV-busses.

That is a very simple way to make killer satellites. The idea of those systems is similar to drone swarms. A large number of simple satellites can shoot to the orbiter by using regular rockets. And then those swarms can take the trajectories there they can impact against their target.

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....
