Why are the buttons on men's clothing sewn on the right, and women's on the left?

This tradition dates back to the time when ladies dressed and undressed with the help of maids. Since most people use their right hand better than their left, with this arrangement of buttons it is easier to fasten and unfasten them - for a man on his own clothes, and for a woman on the clothes of the hostess (or the man on the clothes of his beloved).

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Why does the appearance of the starry sky change throughout the year?

At different times of the year, different constellations can be observed in the evenings. Why is this happening?

The sun, as observations show, not only moves along with all the stars during the day, rising in the east and setting in the west, but also slowly moves among the stars in the opposite direction, i.e. from west to east, moving from constellation to constellation . We cannot observe the constellation in which the Sun is currently located, since it rises with the Sun and moves across the sky during the day, when the stars are not visible. The path along which the Sun moves among the stars throughout the year is called the ecliptic. It passes through twelve so-called zodiac constellations, each of which the Sun visits for approximately one month each year.

The annual motion of the Sun among the stars is apparent. In fact, the observer himself moves along with the Earth around the Sun, which is why it seems that the Sun moves from one constellation to another.

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. ... >>

Hybrid tram and bus 18.04.2011

The new vehicle, a hybrid between a tram and a bus, the Autotram, is being developed by engineers from 33 German institutes. The electric motors of this type of transport are powered by batteries of supercapacitors. These devices, also known as supercapacitors, are very large capacitors.

Unlike rechargeable batteries, they do not undergo any chemical processes during charging and discharging, so supercapacitors are able to receive and release energy very quickly and last a very long time.

The Autotram is recharged at each stop in 30-60 seconds with a current of 1000 amperes at a voltage of 700 volts. Just in case, there are also lithium-ion batteries on board.
