Antoine de Rivarol. The most famous aphorisms

Army discipline is heavy, but it is the weight of a shield, not a yoke.
The rams huddle together, the lions keep apart.
Intimate fellowship is where the tenderest friendship and the strongest hatred come from. A martyr in the name of the old faith seems to us a stubborn one, a martyr in the name of a new one - a prophet.
If fools could understand the suffering we endure because of them, even they would feel pity for us.
In the state, one should clearly distinguish between an arithmetic majority and a political majority.
Stupidity, accompanied by music, dancing, adorned with brilliant scenery - all the same, stupidity, but nothing in common.
Even if a conspiracy is sometimes drawn up by smart people, it is always carried out by a bloodthirsty beast.
Despots perish for lack of despotism, just as cunning people perish for lack of cunning.
The stomach is the soil in which thoughts ripen.
Envy that speaks and screams is usually inactive; one should be afraid of that envy that is silent.
The spectacle of absurdity breeds good taste.
Out of twenty people talking about you, nineteen say bad things, the twentieth say good things but do it badly.
For other people, wealth only brings that fear of losing it.
How sad it is to dream about the most essential: without having it, a person is always unhappy, but having it is far from always happy.
When everything around is amazing, nothing is surprising, this is childhood.
Whoever predicted the course of events twenty-four hours before the crowd of mediocrity, that twenty-four hours is known as a person devoid of the most ordinary common sense.
Love is a petty theft that the natural order of things manages to make from the social order.
Young men behave towards women like timid rich men, and old men behave like impudent beggars.
My epitaph: "Laziness took him from us before death."
Thoughts should be attacked with thoughts: ideas are not fired from guns.
Most of our atheists are just rebellious saints.
Reason is a historian, passions are actresses.
With heartfelt feelings, the situation is like with good deeds: whoever is not able to repay them, he becomes ungrateful.
A modest person can achieve everything, a proud person can lose everything: modesty always deals with generosity, pride with envy.
Passions are the speakers of crowded assemblies.
Those who give advice without accompanying it with examples are like pillars that point the way, but do not walk on it themselves.
Only dead languages gain immortality.
Nature has four great scenery - the seasons, always the same actors - the sun, the moon and other luminaries, but it changes the audience, sending them to another world.
There are far more smart people in the world than talented people. Society is teeming with smart people who are completely devoid of talent.
The human heart knows no limits, the human mind is limited.
The tongue is our tool, and when it is used, care should be taken that the springs in it do not creak.

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 ... >>

Fish evolve from anglers 11.08.2019

Anglers love bigger fish - this applies to those who stand with fishing rods on some small river, and those who walk with nets on fishing boats. Fish, like any living organism, tries to adapt to the fact that it is caught - and as a result, there are more and more fish trifles in populations. Or, in other words, there are more and more individuals that grow slowly, but mature quickly at the same time - such successfully elude fishing nets to leave offspring.

Scientists have been able to show that such changes have a genetic basis. Researchers from Cornell University and other research centers in the United States set up an experiment with the Atlantic menidia - a small fish no more than 15 cm in length. Six populations of menidia lived in laboratory aquariums, from which some of the inhabitants were periodically caught: the largest were selected from the two populations, the smallest from the other two, and finally, there were no preferences in the last two - they were randomly caught individuals of different sizes.

The difference in size between fish from different populations appeared after only four generations, and in some cases the fish differed from each other by a factor of two. The researchers analyzed the DNA of nearly 900 fish, and found corresponding changes in the genes that depended on the growth rate: small fish more often appeared those genetic variants that made the individual grow more slowly.

In fish DNA, there were often large groups of genes that changed in concert: several hundred genes had variants that increased in frequency at the same time, that is, they could be more often found all together in small individuals of a new generation. On the other hand, such gene clusters were not found in all fish that had been minced, i.e., different genetic strategies took place in the population, which made it possible to adapt to trapping.
