Jonathan Swift. The most famous aphorisms

But what if churches are tombs not only for the dead, but also for the living?
They climb up in the same position as they crawl.
Every government that acts without the consent of those it governs is the complete formula of slavery!
You are as innocent as the devil at the age of two.
A genius is immediately evident, if only by the fact that all the dullards and mediocrity unite against him.
It has long been known that those who are given second place have an undeniable right to first place.
May God give you all the days of your life.
Two rules must be followed by every dignitary: always keep your feelings and never keep your promises.
Bad company is like a dog that soils those it loves the most.
If she ate gold, he would feed it to her.
If God considered wealth to be something valuable, he would not give it to such rascals.
There is only one way for a book to appear (as, by the way, for their authors) into the light of day - and tens of thousands of ways to leave this world forever.
Sometimes it makes sense to live someone else's mind, but you can only rely on your own.
Laws are like a web in which small midges get entangled, and not bumblebees and wasps.
You can't sew a silk purse out of a pig's ear.
Everyone wants to live long, but no one wants to grow old.
How can you expect humanity to be able to heed advice if it is not even enough to heed the warning?
When doctors talk about religion, they are like butchers talking about life and death.
When people become virtuous in their old age, they only dedicate to God what the devil disdained.
Criticism is a tax that a great man pays to the public.
Who never counts on anything will never be disappointed.
Flattery, they say, is the food of stupid people, while how many intelligent people are ready from time to time to taste at least a sip of this food.
Very few people live for today. Most prepare to live later.
The sage is least alone when he is alone.
Much truth is told in jest.
A wise man should keep money in his head, not in his soul.
We are pleased when our wit is laughed at, but not our stupidity.
Some people hide their mind much more carefully than their stupidity.
Some, seeking to eradicate prejudice, destroy at the same time virtue, honesty and religion.
The right word in the right place is the most accurate definition of style.
Promises are made only to be broken.
Giving in to anger often is like taking revenge on yourself for the guilt of another.
The Party is the madness of the many for the benefit of the few.
Help yourself and your friends will love you more.
Sometimes I read a book with pleasure, but I hate its author.
It seems that religion has fallen into childhood with age, and now, as in childhood, it must be fed with miracles.
Excellent words! Curious, where did you steal them?
The cause of great events, like great rivers, is often very small.
Complaining is the largest and most sincere part of our prayers.
Elephants are always portrayed as smaller than they actually are, while fleas are always larger.
Old men and comets are revered for the same reason: they both have long beards, and both have the gift of divination.
Vanity is rather a sign of insignificance than of greatness.
Satisfying needs at the cost of giving up desires is tantamount to chopping off feet when shoes are needed.
A person can be forced (by money or threat) to go to church - but nothing more.
The more soulful a person is, the more soulless he is.
We don’t know what they do in paradise, but we know for sure what they don’t do there: they don’t get married there and don’t get married.
I lament the fact that the deck is poorly mixed, only until a good card comes to me.

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 ... >>

Heart computer 13.03.2020

Scientists in Israel have created a mini-computer to be installed directly in the human heart. The device, called the V-LAP, is shaped like a tube and can be easily inserted through a patient's veins. The computer will collect data on the work of the heart, namely blood pressure.

With the help of the device, doctors will receive data that was previously inaccessible to them, which will help to prescribe the appropriate treatment for the patient.

V-LAP was created by the Israeli company Vectorious Medical Technologies. The device is charged from a special belt worn by the patient from the outside. Artificial intelligence will collect, process and send data.

Specialists have opened a search for volunteers for clinical trials of the computer. One of the first patients with V-LAP in the heart was a 71-year-old Briton named Andrew.

The device is expected to help the world's 26 million people who live with heart failure.
