   Objectively correct interpretation.

   No no, it's "an Airbus cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be converted from a disassembled state to an assembled state."

   Mentioning "aviation" and "laws" reminds me of this diagram, outlining the Fundamental Forces of Flight.

   What with everything else modern smartphones can do, it's odd that they don't have a temperature sensor. Maybe the manufacturers figure that since they're usually carried directly on people's persons, it wouldn't be useful.

   Phones do have temperature sensors, but they're used to throttle the CPU in case of overheating. The one time I had a program to check my phone, its temperature was consistently about 45 °C.

   There do appear to be some that have environmental temperature sensors. And supposedly the Pixel phone has a sensor to measure objects you point it at, which is one of those things that's theoretically interesting but also not something I've ever thought I needed my phone to be able to do.

I vaguely remember a news story about somebody who had designed an attachment that turned a smartphone into a multipurpose medical recorder.

So, it's more a problem of fitting all the hardware inside a smartphone than anything else.

If you have an iPhone look for "phyphox", which lets you read and record many of the sensors on the phone. There is an Android version as well, but I'm not familiar with it.
https://phyphox.org/

Code to interact with the device as well as the app source.

At one point there were phyphox-ish apps that called themselfves tricorders, but they got shutdown. If you want special effects, look for Quadcorder on the iOS app store.
