Denis Diderot. The most famous aphorisms

The greatest misunderstanding is to go into morality when it comes to historical facts.
The highest art is to hide it.
Deep thoughts are iron nails driven into the mind so that nothing can pull them out.
Whether to rot under marble or underground, rot anyway.
You don't have to be moved to be touched.
If everything on earth were excellent, then nothing would be excellent.
If there is no goal, you do nothing, and you do nothing great if the goal is insignificant.
If a person keeps his vow, he is a criminal; if he breaks it, he is a perjurer. Life in a monastery is the life of a fanatic or a hypocrite.
The desire to be known as a smart person is stronger than the fear of being considered evil.
Women's modesty is just a well-understood coquetry.
Errors, consecrated by the genius of great masters, become with time universally recognized truths.
Sincerity is the mother of truth and the face of an honest man.
The art is to find the extraordinary in the ordinary and the ordinary in the extraordinary.
The books we leaf through least often and most fondly are the books of our colleagues.
When you want to write about a woman, dip your pen in a rainbow and dust off a butterfly's wings.
Love often takes the mind from those who have it and gives it to those who do not.
People stop thinking when they stop reading.
We seek the love of others in order to have an extra reason to love ourselves.
We consider a coward who allows his friend to be insulted in his presence.
A people that thinks that faith, and not good laws, makes people honest, seems to me very backward.
Do not indulge in explanations if you want to be understood.
Always remember that nature is not God, man is not a machine, hypothesis is not a fact.
Education gives a person dignity, and the slave begins to realize that he is not born for slavery.
Take away the fear of hell from a Christian and you take away his faith.
Knowing in advance what you want to do gives you courage and ease.
Prolonged misfortune reconciles all men with a woman, and the loss of beauty - all women.
Religion prevents people from seeing, because it, under pain of eternal punishment, forbids them to watch.
Luxury ruins the rich and aggravates the need of the poor.
The happiest person is the one who gives happiness to the greatest number of people.
Tolerance inevitably leads to indifference.
Only an honest person should be an atheist.
The one who tells you about other people's shortcomings tells others about yours.
An intelligent person sees before him an immeasurable realm of the possible, while a fool considers only what is possible to be possible.
The breadth of the mind, the power of the imagination and the activity of the soul - this is what genius is.
A young man wants a woman, a woman as such, while an old man is looking for a beautiful woman. If a nation has taste, then it has grown old.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Rose Transistor and Capacitor 05.03.2017

Scientists at Linköping University have figured out how to infiltrate a living rose with conductive polymers, non-invasively, and make a capacitor out of it.

This became a practical application of the same group's discovery made two years earlier. In November 2015, they published an article in the journal Science Advances in which they described how to force a rose to absorb a conductive polymer solution. The hydrogel was formed in the stem of the flower and formed "wires", so if you add electrodes at its two ends and a gate in the middle, you get a transistor.

Now this development has taken a material form - the material developed by Roger Gabrielson is formed inside the flower, and then the current of internal fluids helps to create wires, not only in the trunk, but throughout the plant, down to the leaves and petals.

“We charged the rose hundreds of times without losing capacity,” said Eleni Stavrinidou, a member of the development team. “And the capacity is comparable to the capacity of supercapacitors. The plant could, without any optimization, power our magnetic discharge pump and various sensors ". In addition to supplying energy to sensors and switches, it is theoretically possible to even create a fuel cell inside plants.
