There could be at least one supervolcano that location is unknown.


"A supervolcano is a volcano that has produced an eruption with a Volcanic Explosivity Index of 8, the highest recorded number on the index". (ScitechDaily.com/Volcanic Super-Eruptions Are Millions of Years in the Making)

Theoretically, controlling volcanoes is very easy. Decreasing the pressure in the magma chamber is enough. And if researchers can decrease the magma's temperature. They can also decrease the pressure in a magma chamber. Researchers can decrease that temperature by pumping extremely cold gas like liquid nitrogen or liquid helium into that magma chamber. 

Sometimes is introduced a way to deny the volcano eruptions is by using laser drills. The laser drill makes multiple holes in the roof of the volcano's magma chamber. Then liquid nitrogen or Bose-Einstein condensate will pump to the magma chamber. That decreases the temperature and pressure in that magma chamber. 

Supervolcanoes like Yellowstone and Toba are the most fascinating and frightening that we can wonder about. There is a certain cycle between the activity of the volcanoes. The reason for that is that the pressure in the magma chamber must rise high enough that the volcano can erupt. 

The volcanoes that erupt often are quite safe. Their eruptions are not very strong because the eruption channel is open and pressure will not rise in the magma chamber. 

And the longer the cycle of the volcano, the stronger its eruption. In the longer period break between eruptions, pressure in the magma chamber will rise higher. Supervolcanoes have the longest periods between eruptions. And that means they can sleep even millions of years.

Supervolcano eruptions can take thousands or even tens of thousands of years of making enough pressure that it can erupt. In some of the biggest possible supervolcanoes cycle, eruptions can be even millions of years. And that extremely long cycle makes those supervolcanoes even more dangerous than we expected. 

There could be at least one supervolcano that is invisible on Earth. In normal cases, volcanism is visible in infrared images. But there is the possibility that two magma chambers are overlapping. In that case, the upper chamber would belong to the regular volcano. But there could be another larger magma chamber below the smaller volcano. 

And if something happens and the upper magma chamber will empty. The weight that locks magma in the lower chamber will be released in that case. That can cause the situation that the magma of the lower magma chamber will break its roof. And the volcano that is over the magma chamber can just fall in it. 

If that thing happens at the sea that thing causes a horrifying tsunami. There is introduced to control or deny the supervolcano eruptions by drilling holes in the roof of the magma chamber. 

Engineers can make those holes by using a laser drill. And then the liquid nitrogen or Bose-Einstein condensate can be injected into the magma chamber. That thing can decrease the temperature of the magma. As I wrote at the beginning of this text.

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....
