Aristotle. The most famous aphorisms

Being a friend to many with perfect friendship is impossible, just like being in love with many at the same time. And many people can like it.
In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a safe haven.
A magnanimous person is distinguished by the fact that he does not seek profit for himself, but readily does good to others.
Dominating passions is not the one who completely abstains from them, but the one who uses them as they control a ship or a horse, that is, direct them where necessary and useful.
Dominion over free men is more beautiful than dominion over slaves.
Contrary to the opinion of some, it is not reason that is the beginning and leader of virtue, but rather the movement of feelings.
Doctors are not made according to the guidelines.
More and more they value the hard-won.
A fool is never his own friend, he is always at enmity with himself.
A citizen in the general sense is one who participates in both domination and subordination.
Even the known is known only to a few.
For the seeker of excessive pleasures, the absence of excess will be suffering.
If you are ignorant and keep silent, then you behave smartly, but if you are learned and keep silent, then it is stupid.
There are people as miserly as if they were going to live forever, and as extravagant as if they were going to die tomorrow.
Those who have experience succeed more than those who have abstract knowledge.
Just as neither vice nor virtue is characteristic of the beast, so neither are they characteristic of God, but he has something that is valued higher than virtue.
A stone that falls down by nature cannot be trained to rise up; train it by tossing it up at least a thousand times.
Extreme democracy is the same tyranny, only divided among many.
He who advances in knowledge, but lags behind in morality, goes more backward than forward.
It is better to do a small part of the job perfectly than to do ten times more badly.
To love means to wish for another what you consider to be good.
Cowardly people are envious, because everything seems great to them.
People who are uneducated in the eyes of the crowd seem more convincing than educated people.
Much of what seems to be inherent in democracy weakens democracy.
We always love our first impressions more. Most people are not capable of turning to moral perfection, because it is natural for most people to submit not to a sense of shame, but to fear and to abstain from evil not because it is shameful, but fearing revenge.
We forfeit leisure in order to have leisure, and wage war in order to live in peace.
The beginning is more than half of everything.
Some are not able to rule and know how to obey only the power that masters have over slaves, while others are not able to obey any power, and they know how to rule only in the way that masters rule over slaves.
An oligarchy is destroyed when another oligarchy is formed within it.
Experience is knowledge of the individual, and art is knowledge of the general.
Wit is polished arrogance.
By nature, a person is inclined to form couples rather than states - just as much as the family is more primary and necessary than the state.
Plato is my friend but the truth is dearer.
Those who buy power for money get used to profiting from it.
Vice destroys itself, and if it reaches fullness, it becomes unbearable for its owner himself.
Crime needs only a pretext.
Habit is second nature.
With them it is difficult, without them it is impossible. (About women.)
The most important thing in any state system is to arrange things in such a way that officials cannot profit.
Happiness is on the side of the one who is content.
Those who have many friends are not friends to anyone.
The mind is not only in knowledge, but also in the ability to apply knowledge in practice.
The goal of democracy is freedom, oligarchies are wealth, aristocracies are education and legitimacy, tyrannies are protection.
Man by nature is a social and political animal.
A person with a sense of humor is both the one who knows how to let go of a well-aimed joke and the one who endures ridicule.

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 ... >>

Mobile phone tracked by a special signal 11.08.2013

Studies have shown that every mobile phone has a special digital "fingerprint", that is, a unique signature that can be used to track the location of the mobile phone.

A new method of tracking mobile phone owners was discovered by researchers from the Technical University of Dresden. The new technology uses tiny differences in the quality of the various electronic components inside the phone. These differences affect the characteristics of the radio signal, which allows you to accurately determine which device is emitting a given radio signal.

Tech-savvy criminals, terrorists, and others who desire anonymity are finding increasingly sophisticated ways to evade surveillance. To do this, they change the identification code of the phone, regularly change SIM cards, etc. However, the unique signature of the radio signal of the phone remains unchanged and allows you to identify the mobile phone.

Various microcircuits and details in the phone remain unchanged, no matter how the subscriber uses codes, SIM cards and encryption applications. As a result, the data stream transmitted by each phone to the mobile tower contains radio signal parameters that can be used for identification. At the same time, the accuracy is very high: in laboratory tests on 13 different phones, it was possible to identify a mobile phone with an accuracy of 97,6%.

The advantage of the new method is its passivity: the mobile communication station does not send any requests, and there is no need to install spyware on the phone. On the other hand, it is difficult to say how effective the new tracking technique will be in relation to professional criminals and terrorists, because they have long learned to use "disposable" mobile phones and change them quite often.
