Deadly sin

Bible
Bible

Phraseologism: 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.

Random phraseology:

Sexual revolution.

Meaning:

The process and result of fundamental changes in the sexual life of society, characterized by significant transformations of sexual values, orientations, norms, sanctions and sexual relations, liberating the individual and society, leveling social moral and religious norms about the prohibition of sex outside of marriage, chastity and others.

Origin:

The name of the German edition (1925) of a book by the famous Soviet medical hygienist Grigory Abramovich Batkis (1895-1960). This title - "The Sexual Revolution in the Soviet Union" ("Die sexuelle Revolution in der Sovietunion") - was given to her by her German publishers. In the 1960s this expression has become very popular in Western Europe. Then it was associated with the name of the Austrian Marxist psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957) and the English edition (1945) of his book "Sexuel Revolution". Since 1939 W. Reich lived in the USA. The first, Austrian edition (1936) of his book was called Sexuality and the Struggle for Culture.

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 ... >>

Super flexible and fire resistant wood 29.01.2022

Chinese scientists have made a breakthrough in the creation of wood composites. They invented a technology that makes wood flexible while protecting it from the effects of fire and fungus.

Chinese researchers took samples of tropical balsa wood up to five millimeters thick. Then they were placed in a special alkaline solution at a certain temperature for 12 hours. After that, the wood samples were filled with a new sample hydrogel. It was he who led to the fact that the material did not get wet, protected from ignition in an open fire and at the same time had excellent flexibility.

According to Chinese scientists, a tree treated in this way can bend at a temperature of minus 50 degrees Celsius. And mold does not appear on it even if you leave such material in a room with a humidity of 90% for two and a half months.
