If I get sick, I will not go to the doctors.

Smelyakov Ya.V.

Phraseologism: If I get sick, I won't go to the doctors.

Meaning: About his non-traditional methods of treatment, in which the speaker believes (jokingly - ironically).

Origin: Title and line from a poem (1940, publ. 1945) by the Soviet poet Yaroslav Vasilyevich Smelyakov (1913-1972): "If I get sick, // I won't go to doctors. // I turn to friends // (don't think that this is in delirium): // lay the steppe for me, // curtain my windows with mist, // put a star at my head // A star that fell from the sky!"

Random phraseology:

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.

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.

Passenger on x-ray 14.11.2002

At the airport in the American city of Orlando, passengers have recently had to go through a Reypiscan X-ray machine.

A special installation with ultra-weak radiation is able to see through only through clothing, its radiation almost does not penetrate the body, and the dose received by the passenger during such an inspection is extremely small. Such a dose can be obtained at home by watching three hockey games on TV.

But despite such a weak exposure, if some kind of weapon or contraband is hidden under the clothes, these objects clearly appear on the screen.
