West is West, East is East, and together they will never come together

Rudyard Kipling

Phraseologism: West is West, East is East, and together they will never come together.

Meaning: About Western and Eastern civilizations and the differences between them.

Origin: From "The Ballad of East and West" by the English writer Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), who, contrary to popular belief, says in it that, despite the differences of these civilizations, their representatives can be united by strong feelings and values ​​- Love , Honor, Courage. The poet, in particular, writes (translated by E. G. Polonskaya): “Oh, the West is the West, the East is // the East, and they will not leave their places, // Until Heaven and Earth appear // at the Last Judgment of the Lord. // But there is no East, and there is no West, what - // tribe, homeland, clan, // If a strong one with a strong face to face // Stands at the edge of the earth?" The plot itself confirms this thesis - the ballad tells how an Indian robber, who hitherto was at enmity with white people, joins the English army and becomes a comrade-in-arms of an English officer.

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 ... >>
