Francis Scott Fitzgerald. The most famous aphorisms

In the deep night darkness of the soul it is always three o'clock in the morning, day after day.
It is important to be a friend to a person while he is alive, and not when he has already died.
Imagine what it would be like if everyone looked at things the way you do - what would the world be like?
It is always very painful to see with new eyes what I managed to get used to in one way or another.
All life is a path to the one phrase "I love you", and then - an escape from it.
Give me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy.
Every person tends to suspect at least one fundamental virtue.
The strongest locks are gates that lead nowhere. Probably because the emptiness is too unsightly.
Any diamond looks big until it is polished.
There are no greater virtues than courage, honesty, courtesy, and a natural inclination to do good.
The winner belongs to the trophies.
Family scandals are a bitter thing. They don't have any rules.
An imaginative person cannot help feeling fear.

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 ... >>

The brain responds faster to an aggressive voice than to a calm one. 19.12.2018

Researchers from the University of Geneva (Switzerland) studied the activity of the brain when processing voices that sound with different intonations and emotions. It turned out that we pay attention to the voice of a person much faster when he addresses us with aggression than when he speaks in a calm tone. This happens so that we can clearly determine the location of a potential threat. Research New work reveals the resources our brains use when we sense danger.

Sight and hearing are two senses through which humans can detect threatening situations. Although vision is very important, it does not allow you to cover the surrounding space in 360 degrees - unlike hearing.

To investigate the brain's response to "audio" threats, the researchers recorded 22 human voices (each recording was only 600 milliseconds long) that were neutral or expressed either anger or joy. Then these sounds coming from two speakers were listened to by 35 participants. At the time of listening, the electroencephalogram (EEG) device measured the electrical activity of the brain down to the millisecond. In particular, the researchers studied auditory attention, the process by which the brain processes information received through sound. "Each participant heard two sounds at the same time: two neutral voices, one neutral and one angry, or one neutral and one joyful voice. When they heard anger or joy in a voice, they had to respond by pressing a key on the keyboard as accurately and quickly as it was possible,” explains Leonardo Ceravolo, researcher at the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences at the University of Geneva. "We then measured the intensity of brain activity when attention was focused on different sounds, as well as the duration of that focus before returning to the ground state," he adds.

Using EEG data, the researchers identified the appearance of a cerebral "marker" of auditory attention called N2ac. As the scientists explain, when the brain perceives an emotional sound, N2ac activity starts after 200 milliseconds. However, when he perceives anger, N2ac intensifies and lasts longer than in the case of joy.

Subsequently, after 400 milliseconds, our attention should be disconnected from the source of the sound signal. At this point, another "marker" of auditory attention, LPCpc, intervenes. Interestingly, LPCpc activity is also stronger for angry than happy voices. But why? Answer: Anger can signal a potential threat, so the brain analyzes these types of stimuli for a longer time. In the auditory environment, this mechanism allows us not to be alarmed at the slightest potentially threatening noise, or, conversely, to choose the most correct behavior in case of danger. Therefore, these extra milliseconds of attention are critical to accurately interpreting the threat.
