Facts are the scientist's air

Pavlov I.P.

Phraseologism: Facts are the air of a scientist.

Meaning: Scientific activity is based on facts.

Origin: From the "Letter to the Youth" by the great Russian physiologist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (1849-1936): "Accustom yourself to restraint and patience. Learn to do the dirty work in science. Study, compare, accumulate facts. No matter how perfect the wing of a bird, it will never could not lift it up without leaning on the air. Facts are the air of a scientist. Without them, you will not be able to take off anywhere. Without them, your "theories" are empty attempts "(Izbr. op. M., 1949).

Random phraseology:

After the rain on Thursday.

Meaning:

It is not known when, never (joking).

Origin:

It is believed that this expression is due to the fact that in the old days Thursday was dedicated to Perun, the god of thunder and lightning. Prayers were offered to him for rain, especially during a drought. People believed that he should be most willing to fulfill requests on "his" day, Thursday. And since these requests often remained unfulfilled, Christians began to be rather skeptical of this deity and, convinced of the futility of such prayers, expressed with this phrase their complete distrust of the god Perun.

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 ... >>
