Just think, Newton's binomial!

Bulgakov M.A.

Phraseologism: Just think, Newton's binomial!

Meaning: About some simple, elementary problem that someone cannot solve, believing it to be super complex.

Origin: From the novel (Ch. 18 "The Unfortunate Visitors") "The Master and Margarita" (1940) by Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov (1891-1940). Words by Koroviev-Fagot commenting on the dialogue between Woland and the barman Andrey Fokich Sokov. The latter came to complain about the spectators, who, after the "tricks" of the magician, paid in the buffet with counterfeit gold pieces and "punished the buffet for one hundred and nine rubles." In response to these complaints, Koroviev informs Woland that the barman is not a poor man - there are deposits in five savings banks and "at home under the floor two hundred gold tens." “Well, of course, this is not a sum,” Woland said condescendingly to his guest, “although, by the way, you don’t really need it either. When will you die? - he answered. - Well, yes, it’s not known, - the same crappy voice was heard from the office, - just think, Newton’s binomial! He will die in nine months, in February next year, from liver cancer in the clinic of the First Moscow State University, in the fourth ward.

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. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Plasma accelerator for plants 23.02.2016

Gardeners, and even agricultural enterprises, often practice a kind of domestic magic, for example, soak seeds in highly diluted solutions of various development accelerators, and do this taking into account the phases of the moon. It is believed that such treatment not only improves germination (which is not surprising - there are fewer infections on treated seeds), but also leads to long-term consequences - it improves the quantity and quality of fruits.

There is no theory that connects the sugar content of tomatoes with a drop of the active solution added to a jug of water to soak the seeds at moonrise in Aries or Cancer, but it is believed that the method works. Researchers, on the other hand, come up with new magical methods.

For example, Koga Katsunori and colleagues from the University of Kyushu studied the effect of plasma on Arabidopsis seeds. They received plasma in the so-called partial discharge, when one of the electrodes is covered with a dielectric. The discharge voltage was 9,2 kV, the current was 0,2 A, and in addition to ions and electrons, active forms of oxygen and nitrogen were obtained in it. The seeds were placed in a flow of such plasma for three minutes, and then they were sown in a mineral wool substrate. And they succeeded: the time to harvest of new seeds fell by 7%, from 71 to 66,5 days, the weight of the seeds increased by 12%, and the size of the first leaf turned out to be a third larger. In addition, the harvested seeds contained more glucose.

Plasma treatment is technically very simple, and if it can bring such significant results, it would be useful for agronomists to think about its application. Koga himself notes that no mutations have been identified in plants, but his group will have to seriously work on the answer to the question of what kind of mechanisms they managed to wake up with such processing.
