Epicurus. The most famous aphorisms

The wealth demanded by nature is limited and easily attainable, but the wealth demanded by idle opinions extends to infinity.
The greatest fruit of the limitation of desires is freedom.
To get great pleasures, you need to limit yourself.
Laws are issued for the sake of the wise - not so that they do no harm, but so that no harm is done to them.
The study of nature does not produce people who are boastful and eloquent, and who do not flaunt education, an object of rivalry in the eyes of the crowd, but courageous people.
Others prepare their livelihood all their lives.
To whom little is not enough, nothing is enough.
The ultimate goal of a blissful life is bodily health and peace of mind.
It is better to endure some sufferings in order to enjoy greater pleasures, it is useful to abstain from some pleasures so as not to endure more severe sufferings.
It is better to be unhappy with reason than to be happy without reason.
A wise man will not take part in public affairs unless someone forces him to do so.
We value our character as our own, whether it is good and respected by people or not, so should the character of others be valued.
Necessity is a disaster, but there is no need to live with necessity.
No pleasure in itself is evil, but the means of achieving other pleasures are much more troublesome than pleasures.
Let us thank the wise nature for making the necessary easy and the heavy unnecessary.
Empty are the words of that philosopher, by which no human suffering is cured. Just as medicine is of no use if it does not drive sickness out of the body, so is philosophy if it does not drive sickness out of the soul.
The most terrible of evils - death - has nothing to do with us, since while we exist, death is still absent, but when it comes, we no longer exist.
Death for us is nothing: after all, everything, both good and bad, lies in sensation, and death is the deprivation of sensations.

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 ... >>
