The new quantum material is 1000X heavier with electrons than usual.

What would you do with material that mass you can adjust? The new 2D material called CeSil (cerium, silicon, and iodine) is the material whose electrons turn 1000X heavier than usual. That means electron flow or electricity can adjust the weight of that material. 

That kind of material can make many things. It can used to make new types of anti-thief systems. When expensive merchandise is waiting for transportation the system can increase its weight. Another thing that this kind of material can make are the new types of space suits. The space suit's weight can adjust so that it's comfortable and safe on the moon and Earth. 

This type of material, like CeSil, also makes it possible. Astronauts can operate in artificial gravity created using rotating space stations. The problem with those "Von Braun wheels" is that the Earth's gravity requires an extremely fast rotating speed. And that causes stress for those structures. In the rotating wheel, the centripetal force is making the artificial gravity. The heavyweight suits can make astronauts feel comfortable also in weak gravity. 


The material that weighs the system can adjust making it possible that the astronauts can use suits that anchor them on the floor in weak gravity. That thing makes also weak gravity comfortable. And those astronauts can use this kind of technology to adjust their suit's weight in the different gravitational areas. 

On the moon, weak gravity makes working in lightweight suits dangerous. And on Earth, the lightweight suits are more comfortable than on the Moon. So maybe in the future, the system can adjust the weight of the suit by using electron flow. In the same way, the quantum system can adjust things like aircraft and ship's weight. 

The aircraft's body is formed of thin layers of titanium and aluminum. It's possible. That there are 2D material layers between those metal layers that are on top of each other like butter dough. Those 2D materials can adjust the weight of the aircraft's body and change its barycenter. The 2D materials like graphene can cover entire aircraft. 

And the material that adjusts its weight can be between metal layers. In the same way, that kind of ability can make it possible to create ships that have new abilities to adjust their balance and barycenter. 

And that gives them interesting abilities. The thing is that even if the material is 2D that can make it possible to create extremely large and elastic structures. In those structures, the 2D materials can be put on top of each other. There could be nano springs or fullerene sticks between those layers. 

And that "hamburger structure" can make it possible to create new types of structures. The 2D structures can also form the plate layer that is well-known from samurai armor. The small plates that are connected with elastic materials like kevlar can make a new way to create space suits and body armor.

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....
