Fury

Ancient Greek and Roman mythology

Phraseologism: Fury.

Meaning: Angry, vicious woman (iron.)

Origin: From ancient Roman mythology. Furies in ancient Rome were called the three goddesses of vengeance (in Greek - erinia). They were first described in ancient Greek literature by the playwright Aeschylus (525-456 BC) as hideous old women with bloodshot eyes, bared teeth, protruding tongues, and snakes on their heads instead of hair. In the Russian language of the XNUMXth - early XNUMXth centuries. this word also meant fury, anger.

Random phraseology:

Dance from the stove.

Meaning:

To do something, starting from the usual place, from the beginning.

Origin:

It is believed that the turn to dance from the stove came into the Russian literary language from the unfinished novel of the raznochinets writer V. A. Sleptsov "The Good Man" (1871). The hero of the novel, Terebenev, returns to his homeland after fruitless wanderings around Europe. He dreams of serving the people and remembers the pictures of his childhood, in particular, how he was taught to dance. When he lost time, he was forced to return to the stove again and start all over again. Remembering the scene at the stove, Terebenev understands that he needs to return to his home, to the old tiled stove, and start a new life there. However, according to other linguists, despite the fact that the expression to dance from the stove became widespread thanks to the novel "The Good Man", V. A. Sleptsov cannot be considered the author of the turnover. The custom to learn to dance from the stove was well spread in Russia of the last century in noble families. Thanks to the popularity of this custom, the expression to dance from the stove in a figurative sense also came into use. At the beginning of the XX century. the variant of the turnover was also known to dance not from the stove - “to do something out of habit”, “to find it difficult doing something for the first time”.

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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh.

Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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. ... >>

Higgs boson lifespan measured 14.12.2021

Physicists working on the CMS detectorScientists for the first time managed to measure the lifespan of the Higgs boson - 210 yoctoseconds of the Large Hadron Collider, for the first time were able to accurately measure how long the Higgs boson lives. It was known that this elementary particle exists for a very short time: only less than one trillion billionth of a second, or 1.6?10-22 seconds.

But scientists needed to experimentally more accurately calculate the lifetime of the particle. This would allow them to understand its nature and find out if this value corresponds to the value predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. And yes, it matched.

According to the theory, the experiments established only the boundaries of the lifetime of the particle or determined this property with a large error. Measuring the lifetime of the Higgs boson is a difficult task because its predicted lifetime is too short. One possible solution was to measure a related property, the width of the mass. The mass width is inversely proportional to the lifetime. In addition, it represents a small range of possible masses around the nominal particle mass of 125 GeV.

So physicists made the first measurement of the width of the Higgs boson (H) during the second run of the Large Hadron Collider. They focused on data on the transformation of Higgs bosons into two Z bosons.

Scientists for the first time managed to measure the lifespan of the Higgs boson - 210 yoctoseconds, which themselves are transformed into four charged leptons

Scientists for the first time managed to measure the lifespan of the Higgs boson - 210 yoctoseconds
Reconstruction of an event in the CMS detector where a Higgs boson candidate is accompanied by two high-energy particle jets (yellow cones). The candidate Higgs boson decays into a muon-antimuon pair (red bands) and a neutrino-antineutrino pair. The last pair cannot be detected in the experiment, which leads to the absence of a transverse momentum (purple arrow) with respect to the beam direction.

Scientists have obtained the first evidence of the formation of Higgs bosons outside the shell. The result suggests that the lifetime of the Higgs boson is 210 yoctoseconds - that's on the order of septillionths of a second, or decimal point, followed by 22 zeros - (+2,3/-0,9) x 10^22.
