Publius (Gaius) Cornelius Tacitus. The most famous aphorisms

Good deeds are pleasant only when you know that you can repay them, but when they are exorbitant, instead of gratitude, you repay them with hatred.
The gods are on the side of the strongest.

In joy, the mob is as unbridled as in rage.
In military affairs, chance has the greatest power.
Great empires are not preserved by timidity.
No one has yet been able to use the power gained by crime for good.
During civil wars, soldiers are allowed more than generals.
In times of unrest and unrest, the worse a person is, the easier it is for him to gain the upper hand: only honest and decent people are capable of ruling in peacetime.
The lust for power is the most egregious of all passions.
Take each day separately: there will not be a single empty one, put them together and you will be amazed to see how empty they are.
Everything forbidden is sweeter.
Everyone gives advice easily, but few take responsibility for it.
Everything that is considered very old was once new. And what we are illustrating today will also someday be an example.
Those who grieve the least show their grief the most.
Even the sages are the last to leave the thirst for glory.
For subordinates, both dissensions between superiors and their unanimity are equally detrimental.
Good morals matter more than good laws.
The greed of domination takes precedence over all other passions.
Truth is reinforced by sight and time, and falsehood by haste and uncertainty.
To each his honor gives offspring.
Meekness is the best means for a woman to be right.
Whoever despises glory will easily neglect virtue.
It is easier to drag a whole crowd along with you than to be saved from the deceit of one person.
Only fools call willfulness freedom.
It's better... to do nothing than to do nothing.
People are arranged by nature in such a way that, being safe, they like to follow the dangers that threaten another.
You can admire the antiquity, but you need to follow the present.
Rumor always inflates both truth and lies to unprecedented proportions.
Unlimited power does not inspire confidence in anyone.
Immoderate sincerity and generosity lead to death.
None of those who doubted their ability to rule became emperor.
To ensure the smooth running of one's family affairs is often no easier than to govern a province.
Distance increases charm.
Bad emperors like unlimited power, good emperors like moderate freedom.
Winners are not judged.
Both will perish: one because he lost the war, the other because he won it.
Rulers always suspect and hate those who might come to replace them.
The rulers are mortal, the state is eternal.
Disregard slander and it will wither away.

The closer people are by kinship, the more acute the feeling of enmity is for each other.
The stronger the fall of the state, the more laws it has.

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 ... >>

Car tires monitor their wear 23.05.2014

German tire and parts manufacturer Continental AG is developing "smart" tires that will promptly notify the driver of tread wear, pressure drops and other abnormal situations. New products can enter the serial market in a few years.

According to the idea of Continental engineers, a new type of tire will receive an electronic sensor that, using special software while driving, will be able to determine tire wear by changing their deformation characteristics. As soon as the system registers the minimum value for the tread depth (3 mm for summer tires and 4 mm for winter), the driver will receive a warning signal to replace the "bald" tire.

In addition, the sensor can be connected to the car's telematics system, and then the car will automatically contact an authorized service center and notify them of an imminent tire fitting.

The new feature will be part of Continental's TPMS (Tires Pressure Monitoring System) tire pressure monitoring system. The complex will be able to work in tandem with smartphones and display information on the gadget’s screen about the current tire pressure and its required value in accordance with the current vehicle load. The technology will notify the driver of a decrease in pressure and an excess of the permissible load.

Continental promises to introduce its development into production vehicles in 2017. It was previously reported that all passenger cars sold in the EU from November 2014 will be equipped with a tire pressure sensor.

In February 2014, the Finnish company Nokian Tires showed its achievements in the car tire market. She created tires with electronic stud extension, which allows the use of such rubber in various weather conditions.

At the Geneva International Motor Show, tire maker Goodyear Dunlop showed off a concept tire that, using an embedded microchip, transmits pressure, temperature and tire wear data to the vehicle's on-board computer. This information is then used by various safety systems, resulting in improved performance of the stability control system and shorter braking distances during ABS operation.
