Shakespeare is not the main thing, but the notes to it

Chekhov A.P.

Phraseologism: Shakespeare is not the main thing, but the notes to it.

Meaning: About pseudoscientific pettiness, the hunt for insignificant details, which is presented as a scientific search itself (jokingly ironic).

Origin: From the notebook of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904), who recorded in it such an "opinion of a professor" (first published in the collection Slovo. M., 1914).

Random phraseology:

Thus passes worldly glory (the glory of the world).

Meaning:

About the fragility of power, recognition.

Origin:

From Latin: Sic transit gloria mundi. A phrase from the rite of enthronement (elevation to the dignity) of the Pope. Around 1409, a custom was introduced into this rite: at the moment the solemn procession of the highest church hierarchs of the Roman Catholic Church entered St. Peter's Cathedral, where the enthronement took place, a bundle of tow was burned on a staff three times before the future Pope and they said at the same time: "Holy father! Thus passes worldly glory." But this phrase became popular thanks to the book "The Imitation of Christ" (1427) by the medieval theologian Thomas of Kempis (1379-1471). There is an expression: "Oh, how quickly the glory of the world passes!" Since 1616, the book has gone through more than two thousand editions in different languages, which greatly contributed to the popularity of this expression among many peoples.

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 ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food.

Ford cars will learn to track free parking lots 20.03.2018

Finding a free parking space is not an easy task in a busy city. According to a study by Ford, each motorist spends an average of one day per year on this. However, the new technology, tested in the English town of Milton Keynes, should save a lot of time.

Developed by Ford engineers, the feature collects parking occupancy data based on information from the car's parking sensors. The technology is called Collaborative Parking. It is assumed that in the future it will allow cars to be synchronized with each other, thanks to which any driver will be able to find out not only the very fact of the availability of vacant seats and their number, but also the exact location of vacant

“We realized how much time and nerves are spent searching for parking spaces in cities and towns,” said Christian Ress, head of Ford Automated Driving Europe. “With the Collaborative Parking technology we are developing, we saw an opportunity to return this time back to drivers, helping them enjoy happier, healthier and more efficient rides."
