Jupiter, you're angry, so you're wrong

Lucian
Lucian

Phraseologism: Jupiter, you are angry, then you are wrong.

Meaning: Usually addressed to someone who gets too excited in a dispute, thereby showing that, in addition to emotions, he does not have any evidence of his innocence (jokingly ironic).

Origin: For the first time it is found in one of the satires of the ancient Greek writer Lucian (II century), in which he describes the dispute between Prometheus and Zeus (Roman - Jupiter). When the angry Jupiter, unable to convince Prometheus, resorted to the last "argument" - he grabbed a thunderous arrow to throw lightning at his opponent, Prometheus said: "You take up lightning instead of answering, which means you are wrong." These words are considered the original source of the famous phrase.

Random phraseology:

Deaf mass is not served twice.

Meaning:

Do not repeat something to someone who does not want to or cannot understand. It is also used as a jokingly ironic response to the request of an inattentive interlocutor to repeat what he listened to.

Origin:

The likely source is the words of the French marshal, statesman and military writer Blaise de Montluc (1502-1577): "Mass for the deaf is not served twice."

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. ... >>

New type of soil discovered on the moon 24.12.2015

Researchers studying data from the Chinese moon rover "Yutu" ("Jade Hare") reported the discovery of a new composition of soil on our planet's natural satellite.

The Chang'e-3 automatic station with the Yutu rover was launched on December 1, 2013 by the Long March-3B launch vehicle. The landing of the apparatus on the Moon was carried out on the 14th of the same month in the Sea of Rains. The landing site is notable for being close to the boundary between high and low titanium lava flows.

The soil at Yutu's work site is reportedly different in composition from anything collected by American astronauts in 1969-1972. during the Apollo program and the Soviet moon rovers. In particular, the average content of titanium oxide was recorded in the analyzed samples, which has not been seen before. In addition, the obtained data allow us to speak about a rather high concentration of iron.

Thus, experts believe, the Moon may have a much more complex past than previously thought. However, what exactly is the reason for the presence of rocks of different composition on the surface, scientists are not yet able to say for sure. Perhaps future robotic and manned missions will shed light on the history of the Moon.
