Genetically engineered silkworms are creating silk that is 70% stronger than spider silk.

The hybridization of animals and other natural creatures can make it possible to create fundamental materials. Researchers created silk that is 70% stronger than spider silk by connecting silkworm's and spider's genomes. That thing can make it possible to create new and more effective protective materials than ever before.

Using cell cultures or bacteria where that genome is transferred can create a large mass of that extra-strong silk. And that silk can use in parachutes and even breaking wires that can stop aircraft on aircraft carriers. Also, that strong silk can be used everywhere. There is a need for lightweight, flexible and strong materials.

The bulletproof vests and long but lightweight ropes are good places where that kinds of materials can be suitable. But if that material can produce enough. It's possible to use that super silk between the outer and inner core of the new armor in helicopters, aircraft, and even ships. Super silk can also revolutionize textile production.

But then we can think about genetic engineering and the ability to create cotton or hemp genome connected to the spider's and silkworm's genome. That thing allows creating the new type of fiber, stronger than steel. If that kind of material is used in textiles that make them fundamental.

There are always risks in genetic engineering. The risk is that the genome will slip at the wrong point that thing can create poisonous silkworms-hybrid that can be dangerous to humans.

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....
