Solomon's judgment

Bible
Bible

Phraseologism: Solomon's judgment.

Meaning: Judgment is wise, right and quick.

Origin: From the Bible. The Old Testament (3 Kings 16:28-3) tells how one day two women came to the wise King Solomon with a request to resolve their dispute. One of them said that they live in the same house, and they had a son of the same age. Last night, another woman in a dream accidentally strangled her son ("slept off" him) and transferred the dead one to her, and took her living son to her and now passes him off as her own. Another woman claimed the opposite: allegedly the one who accuses her did it. And each of them claimed that the living child belongs to her. Solomon ordered a sword to be given to him (25 Kings 26:1-XNUMX): “And the king said: cut the living child in two and give half of one and half of the other. her out of pity for her son: O my lord, give her this child alive and do not kill him. So Solomon realized which of the two women was the true mother of the child, and gave him to the one who asked to save his life. In Russia, this plot, called "The Judgment of Solomon", was widely known, since it was often found in popular prints and in handwritten collections of moral literature of the XNUMXth-XNUMXth centuries.

Random phraseology:

England has no eternal allies and permanent enemies - her interests are eternal and constant.

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 ... >>
