John Locke. The most famous aphorisms

Politeness is the first and most agreeable virtue.
The great art of learning a lot is to take on a little at once.
Twenty offenses can be forgiven faster than one violation of the truth.
Nine-tenths of the people we meet are what they are - good or bad, useful or useless - thanks to their upbringing.
The actions of people are the best translators of their thoughts.
Bad examples are certainly stronger than good rules.
True courage is expressed in calm self-control and in the imperturbable performance of one's duty, in spite of any disasters and dangers.
Logic is the anatomy of thought.
No one has yet managed to be so cunning as to hide this quality of his.
Nothing is so beautiful to the eye as the truth is to the mind, nothing is so ugly and irreconcilable to the mind as a lie.
The basis of all virtue and all dignity lies in the ability of a person to refuse to satisfy his desires when reason does not approve of them.
Memory is a copper plate, covered with letters, which time imperceptibly smooths out, if sometimes they are not renewed with a chisel.

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 ... >>

The harm from e-cigarettes outweighs the benefits 15.04.2022

Scientists at the Australian National University have published a large review that analyzes the many scientific papers on electronic cigarettes and other vaping devices and their impact on health. Initially, there were about 19 thousand such studies. Then, when those that duplicate each other, those that do not meet the criteria for scientific publications, etc., were eliminated, 189 "e-cigarette" works remained, which, in general, is also not so small.

The report outlines the range of ills that can result from vaping in one form or another, from poisoning and lung damage to addiction. Which is hardly surprising, since from these devices you inhale not just water vapor - you can find up to 243 different substances in nicotine-free e-cigarettes, of which thirty-eight are considered poisons. Although it should be noted here that not all vape liquids contain these substances, and it is unlikely that anyone died after the first puff, that is, dangerous substances are present there in more or less safe concentrations. In addition, the authors of the review write that if there is a link between e-cigarettes and complex chronic diseases, it is not so obvious: that is, it cannot be said that vaping increases the risk of cardiovascular, oncological or endocrine diseases, that it inhibits the development of the brain of children and teenagers, etc.

However, if we talk about the fact that e-cigarettes help to quit smoking regular cigarettes, then everything is not so simple here. Those who have never smoked, or quit long ago, start smoking regular cigarettes if they get carried away with vaping. In fact, e-cigarettes are three times more likely that a person will switch to regular smoking - compared to those who do not use e-cigarettes at all.

There are also reverse examples, when a smoker using electronic cigarettes forgets about regular ones. However, this benefit does not outweigh the disadvantage that was just mentioned - that e-cigarettes increase the likelihood that a person will start smoking. Electronic cigarettes can be used to get rid of tobacco addiction, but this requires an individual approach, and it would be better if e-cigarettes were sold in accordance with medical recommendations, and not just to everyone.
