War games in military research and development.

Why the multinational environment is the best thing for military exercises? Military exercises or war games are military simulations that purpose is to serve armies' R&D process. The R&D in a military environment means simulation. Whose purpose is to find own weaknesses and strengths. 

Why are nations arranging things like military exercises? The reason for those exercises is to research and develop tactics and strategies. So when military forces are given something, they also get something new. And that thing is the purpose of those war simulations. 

The worst error of commanders is overestimating their forces. And the second error is overestimating men and weapons. That thing causes horrible losses. 

Many people trust old-fashion military equipment. And the results of that kind of thing are seen in Ukraine. Maybe traditional weapons seem effective, but we see what happens to users of old-time weapons and tactics. 

The war games are simulations. Their mission is to give information about the new equipment and create a new types of tactics. That is suitable in modern battlefields. 

When we are thinking situation where Russia faces about 90000 men losses in some areas, we might ask, can Finland or Sweden carry that kind of loss? Big armies can somehow stand these kinds of losses. But small armies are in trouble with those kinds of things. 

The purpose of military exercises is to minimize losses. Their mission is to make the defense more effective and find errors in their strategies, equipment, and military environment. Those exercises also give information that is each participant's strengths. 

Knowing strengths is important. But knowing own weaknesses is the same way important. And what they should develop. And that information is used for the analysis of what went well and what should do better. The thing is knowing yourself and knowing your enemies. 

When we are thinking about NATO it offers the place and forum to develop and research the tactics and strategies. Sometimes the price of that organization is asked. And the argument against it is the high price. 


But in the same way, independent defense causes costs. If we want to buy effective weapons they require satellite targeting. And that requires support from the owners of those satellites. Or otherwise, we can make a similar defense with Russians. Maybe we can make and store five million grenades. But we have seen the fate of those systems in Ukraine. 

The costs of the military are an interesting thing. There are many ways to make budgets. One is to make a small base budget. And then there is the possibility to make extra budgets. That thing seems nice. But in real life. That is self-deception. We must realize that in peacetime military forces are always causing costs. But effective weapons are expensive. 

When there is a need to use those weapons they must exist. Success in combat areas requires the full function of all systems. And also military crew must know how to use them. If users of those systems don't know how to use them. Those systems are ineffective. 

And if the commanders don't know the capacity of their troops that thing can cause terrible losses. That thing is visible in Ukraine. But if either commanders or their henchmen don't know their mission or equipment. Or they overestimate their troops and equipment, which causes a catastrophe on the battlefield.

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....
