Thucydides. The most famous aphorisms

Things exist for people, not people for them.
It is noble to take revenge only on an equal person and in an equal position.
Most people would rather be known as clever rogues than as honest fools.
The tomb of the valiant is the whole earth.
The one who is not inferior to his equal, retains dignity in relations with the strongest and knows how to restrain himself in relation to the defenseless will leave the farthest.
To seek tyranny is unjust, to refuse it is dangerous.
History is philosophy in examples.
History repeats itself.
People are more irritated by the injustice allegedly inflicted on them than by the most cruel violence: in this they see neglect on the part of their equals, in the other - the need to submit to the violence of a more powerful one.
People believe in the truth of the praise given to others, only to the extent that they consider themselves capable of performing such feats. And everything that is beyond their capabilities immediately causes envy and distrust.
People with great enthusiasm make the decision to fight, than they actually wage war, and change their mood with a change in military happiness.
Hope is by nature wasteful.
Starting a war, people immediately begin actions that should be delayed, and only after failures turn to reasoning.
Should not be proud of the occasional failures of the enemy. Self-confidence should be nourished only when his plans are surpassed.
You should not base your calculations on the expected mistakes of the enemy.
Ignorant narrow-mindedness breeds daring courage, and sober calculation - indecision.
No one is equally prudent in conceiving a plan and carrying it out. In reasoning we are firm, but in actions we yield to fear.
The one who has rendered a service to another is a more reliable friend, as he tries to support well-deserved gratitude with further services.
Recognition of poverty is not a disgrace, but it is shameful not to strive to get rid of it with labor.
The prosperity of the city as a whole will do more good to individual citizens than the welfare of a few in a general decline.
Discretion and a full treasury are most important for military success.
Violence must be met with violence.
Consider freedom as happiness, and courage as freedom.
That woman deserves the greatest respect, which is least talked about among men, in reproach or in praise.
Success in war does not depend on weapons, but on money, in which weapons only bring benefits.
It is human nature to be arrogant towards those who please him, and with respect to those who do not bend before him.
I do not reproach those who seek domination, but those who are too hastily ready to submit to it. After all, a person by his nature always wants to rule over those who submit to him.

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 ... >>
