Mark Porcius Cato (the Elder). The most famous aphorisms

Anger differs from madness only in duration.
When speaking to the wise, use few words.
Add joy to worries.
If someone praises you, check for yourself if this is true.
If you hide the truth, then you are considered a deceiver, and if you compose a lie, you are considered a liar.
Human life is like iron. If you use it in business - it wears out, if you do not use it, it is eaten by rust.
And to extol and to vilify oneself is equally absurd.
Of young people, those who blush are better than those who turn pale.
What good can a state do with a body in which everything from the throat to the crotch is but a belly?
Extra is always expensive.
It won't always be summer.
There is no such law that would be good for everyone.
Master the deed - there will be words.
It is one thing to be in time, another thing to rush: whoever does one thing on time, he has time, who grabs a lot and does not finish anything, he is in a hurry.
Buy not what you need, but what you need.
He who beats his wife or child raises his hand to the highest shrine.
Work ends, but work well done will not be wasted.
It's amazing how soothsayers can keep from laughing when they look at each other.
Smart people learn more from fools than fools from smart people.
Learning is the sweet fruit of a bitter root.
the lover's ear lives in someone else's body.
Good deeds need to be covered with new good deeds so that good fame does not run out of steam.
Private thieves drag out life in stocks and bonds, public ones in gold and purple.
What strikes suddenly seems much more dangerous.

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 ... >>

Electronic tablet instead of textbooks and notebooks 29.08.2002

The Taiwan Computer Association (TCA) has created a group to promote the spread of electronic school bags in the country - computers that should combine school textbooks, notebooks, diaries and everything else a student needs to study.

Many experts, not only in Taiwan, predict that these devices will gradually replace traditional printed books. Their advantages are not so much in their low weight (a 10-inch tablet PC weighs only a little more than 1 kg), but also in the fact that switching to them will create a new, with incomparably greater opportunities, learning environment.

In addition to the fact that several dozen textbooks with pictures can be "stored" in such a computer, teachers can centrally check the work done on them and distribute materials and homework or, using electronic boards, transmit their lectures.

"Electronic backpacks" are created on the basis of tablet computers equipped with wireless communication. One of the tasks being solved now is to increase the duration of work, since students will have to use backpacks throughout the school day.
