Philip Dormer Stanhope. The most famous aphorisms

Being right is a dubious pleasure. The pleasure is to be able to prove that others are wrong.
In pursuit of praise, the best bait is modesty.
In politics, as in commerce, it is necessary to have a good name. It is impossible to deceive many times in either one or the other.
Anyone who is in a hurry, thereby demonstrates that the work for which he undertook is too tough for him.
It is less decent for a statesman to say stupid things than to do them.
Children and courtiers are much less likely to make mistakes than parents and monarchs.
Virtue is nothing but spiritual beauty.
If you can, be smarter than others, but don't show it.
If you have found some characteristic feature in a person, in no case do not trust him in what concerns this feature.
If you please, please everyone in their own way.
Female beauty and male intelligence are mostly detrimental to their owners.
Women are much more similar to each other than men, they are all, in essence, vain and lustful.
Every lost moment is a lost cause, a lost benefit.
Apparent ignorance is often the most necessary part of world knowledge.
When you notice that your opponent is getting excited, put an end to the argument with some joke.
When you are praised, think carefully about whether you deserve praise, if you do not deserve it, then you have been ridiculed.
Whoever speaks of his own virtues is ridiculous, but whoever does not recognize them is stupid.
Flattery is a low-grade coin, but in court it is indispensable, it is pocket money for everyone.
Ministers value personal affection much more than the commitment of their party.
Lies and deceit are the refuge of fools and cowards.
Young people are as inclined to consider themselves wise as drunk people are sober.
A wise man lives with his mind and his wallet.
You must be able to remain silent about everything that matters only to you alone.
It is not enough to have merit, one must be able to please people.
The first sign of a high mind is condescension.
Politicians have neither love nor hate. They are guided not by feelings, but by interest.
Borrowed vices are the most unpleasant of all and the most unforgivable.
Idleness is the lot of weak minds.
Let the sages say whatever they want, but you can get rid of one extreme only by falling into another.
The mind is at best our wife: we really often hear it, we only rarely think about what it says.
With those who are silent, they are silent, with those who tell everything, they are also silent.
Women themselves are not made to care, their purpose is to take on our cares.
The most useful of all arts is the art of liking.
Restraint is an extremely unpleasant trait, incontinence is extremely dangerous.
Those who demand freedom the loudest endure it the worst.
A smart person is sometimes in a hurry, but does nothing in a hurry.
Learn to descend to the level of those among whom you are.
Cunning is the secret refuge of mediocrity.
Good manners are made of small sacrifices.
A person who does not tell anything about himself or tells everything, no one will trust anything.
In order to control humanity, one must not overestimate it - so the orator, if he wants to fall in love with the public, must despise it.

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 ... >>

With a load on my head 03.05.2006

The Belgian physiologist Norman Heglund studied the process of carrying weights on the head by Nepalese porters - Sherpas, who usually accompany European climbers to the mountains.

They carry loads mainly on their heads. The physiology of Sherpas aged 11 to 68 was studied on a mountain path at an altitude of 2800 meters above sea level. Men carried loads on average 93 percent of their own weight, but some carried up to 183 percent. Women carried an average of 66 percent of their body weight.

Portable recorders attached to some of the porters showed that the energy consumption was half that of young Europeans who carried the same load in backpacks. True, Sherpas walk slowly and often stop to rest.
