Walter Scott. The most famous aphorisms

Authority comes from reason, and not reason from authority; any authority that is not recognized by reason is powerless.
The trouble with those who write quickly is that they cannot write concisely.
Nothing in life is better than your own experience.
Time and tide never wait.
Long tongues... sow enmity between neighbors and between peoples.
The bad consequences of crimes live longer than the crimes themselves.
If people do not learn to help each other, then the human race will disappear from the face of the earth.
Gold has killed more souls than iron has killed bodies.
Of all the vices, drunkenness is more incompatible with the greatness of the spirit than others.
Seeking justice from a prejudiced and enraged people is like asking for compassion from a hungry lion.
The fewer words you say, the sooner you get the job done.
We sculpt our idols out of snow and cry when they melt.
The people are like a madman who, in a fit of rage, ruthlessly kills his best friend and, only waking up, contemplates and laments his own cruelty in amazement.
Don't be wasteful - you won't need.
Do not keep your ear to the well, otherwise you will just hear an unkind rumor about yourself.
Ignorance and superstition are the only true misfortunes.
It is simply amazing what purposefulness, courage and willpower awaken from the confidence that we are doing our duty.
Transgression, although it may bring temporary well-being, never brings true happiness.
The solidarity of people is an indestructible fortress.
Only evil people are afraid of evil.
You should not be angry with a friend who, wishing you well, will make you wake up from sweet dreams, even if he did it somewhat harshly and rudely.

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 ... >>

nanospring 02.01.2004

By depositing carbon vapor on a substrate with a catalyst, Japanese and American physicists managed to obtain subminiature springs 125 nanometers in diameter and several microns long.

Springs can be stretched by 33 percent of their original length with an atomic force microscope probe, and the length of the released spring is restored. It is assumed that such details will be useful in nanomechanisms being developed now.

In addition, if it is possible to obtain nanosprings in mass quantities, they can be mixed into composite materials to increase elasticity.
