Senseless dreams

Nicholas II

Phraseologism: Pointless dreams.

Meaning: Impossible dreams, projects.

Origin: The words of Nicholas II from his speech to representatives of the nobility, zemstvos and cities, delivered in 1895. In this speech, Nicholas, among other things, said: “I know that lately in some zemstvo meetings the voices of people who were carried away by senseless dreams of participating representatives of the zemstvos in matters of internal administration. Let everyone know that, devoting all my strength to the good of the people, I will guard the beginning of autocracy as firmly and unswervingly as my unforgettable late parent guarded it. Nikolai read the speech from a note enclosed in a round lambskin hat, which he held in his hands. From excitement, he, instead of "unrealizable dreams," as it stood in the text of the speech written for him, read "meaningless dreams."

Random phraseology:

Deadly sin.

Meaning:

A very big vice, an unforgivable offense.

Origin:

From the Bible. In the New Testament, in the First Epistle of John (5:16-17), it is said about different sins - "there is a sin unto death" and "there is a sin not unto death". In Christian concepts, mortal sin is a misdemeanor (defect), which entails eternal torment in the afterlife. In Orthodox dogma, there are traditionally seven deadly sins: envy, avarice, fornication, gluttony, pride, despondency, anger. Having become winged, the expressions "mortal sin", "seven deadly sins" lost their ecclesiastical coloring and acquired the meaning of a major vice, any unforgivable offenses.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Vampire star discovered 12.05.2022

After studying mysterious flashes of light emanating from one of the Milky Way's systems, researchers have discovered what they suspect is the elusive Black Widow-type star.

Scientists have found evidence of the existence of a vampire star in our galaxy. Also known as the Black Widow. This object is a pulsar that spins very fast and sucks energy from a companion star.

The object was identified in the system under the designation ZTF J1406+1222. The pulsar found there is located approximately 3000-4000 light years from our planet. The Black Widow and her victim revolve around each other every 62 minutes.

In order to detect this system, scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology had to use the latest technology. They had to look for visible light that comes from the victim star. It is assumed that the "Black Widow" will eventually completely absorb its neighbor.
