NASA's X-57 "Maxwell" all-electric aircraft can be the pathfinder for next-generation aircraft.

The next-generation technology will turn the dream of a "one-hour world" possible also in physical form. The next-generation hypersonic VTOL systems can be more revolutionary than some SR-72 or some other systems alone.

If we think about modern technology, that thing makes it possible to create an aircraft with the capacity for hypersonic flight, low-speed flight, and vertical take-off and landing. That thing is quite easy to solve. There is needed only three series of engines.

Regular jet engines, ramjet- and scramjet engines can be used in stages. At first, the regular turbojet will accelerate the speed to Mach 1,5, where the ramjet can start. Then the ramjet will accelerate the aircraft to Mach 6-7, where the scramjet can begin its operation. And the VTOL system can use blowers that make the aircraft operate silently above the city.

The systems developed for "flying cars" can use for larger-scale aviation systems development.

The blowers used in some experimental "flying cars" can have two engine series for flying, in that case, the system uses blowers for lift-off and low-speed flight. And then it can turn to use micro-jet engines.

Blower-based low-noise systems are giving those "every man's" flying machines a top speed of 200 kilometers per hour. Those little systems' speed can easily increase by using two engine series to 600 kilometers per hour. The flying car will rise into the air by using the blower system and then turn to increase its speed by using miniature turbo jets.

The speed of blower-operating micro-aircraft will remain at about 200 kilometers per hour. But that kind of system can also equip with small jet engines used in cruise missiles. So, when the pilot wants to turn to a travel flight there is possible to change the engines. When the distance to the city area is high enough pilots can turn to use those turbo jets.

If the regular aircraft has this kind of blower system, it can lift off by using blowers. The aircraft can also cruise above the city by using blowers. And then outside the city area, it can start its jet engines.

So, there are tested things like pulling propellers for creating the airflow that speed is fast enough that ramjet engines can start their operation. Those systems are basing fast-rotating cavitation propellers that make a vacuum or cavitation bubble behind the ramjet engine. And those propellers can pull the airflow so fast that hydrogen starts to burn in the ramjet engine.

Another solution could be the plasma-jet engine. In those systems, the engine creates plasma by using an electric arc. And then magnets will drive that plasma behind the engine.

The main problem with SR-71 was that aircraft couldn't operate at low speeds. The problem would be solved by connecting the regular jet engines to the SR-71-style aircraft that can operate at incredible speeds.

In air inlets of regular turbojets could be an iris that closes air flow to turbines when the aircraft's speed is too high. And if the aircraft would operate by using ramjet or scramjet systems the rapid air turbine could give electricity for the avionics of that aircraft.

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....
