Who is Aristotle?

Aristotle was one of the prominent people in Ancient Greece. He belongs to the greatest philosophers who ever lived. Aristotle studied with the philosopher Plato for about twenty years. When Plato died, Aristotle began to develop his own teaching method. He was interested in almost every problem that a person faced. How does the mind work? How can we figure out what is true and what is false? What form of government is best?

Aristotle tried to find answers by observing the world around him and collecting facts. He believed that every event had a logical explanation and was one of the first to draw conclusions from research and observation. Aristotle opened his own school, called the Lyceum. He urged every person to find their place in the world by knowing the possibility of living a good and useful life. He believed in the "golden mean" - life in the middle between two extremes.

It is said that Aristotle wrote about four hundred books on astronomy, physics, poetry, zoology, oratory, biology, logic, politics, government, and ethics. The works of Aristotle have been studied by people all over the world for hundreds of years. No one person has influenced the thinking of so many people for so long.

Modern scientists have discovered that many of the observations made by Aristotle over two thousand years ago are still correct today. He showed us that every statement must be accompanied by evidence and that the basis of knowledge is facts.

How was vulcanization discovered?

American Charles Goodyear accidentally discovered a recipe for making rubber that does not soften in the heat and does not become brittle in the cold. He mistakenly heated a mixture of rubber and sulfur on the stove (according to another version, he left a rubber sample by the stove). This process is called vulcanization.

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. ... >>

dragonfly robot 26.08.2008

Dutch engineers have created a flying robot weighing three grams.

The new dragonfly robot named "DelFly Micro", weighing three grams and with a wingspan of ten centimeters, continues the series of flying robots being developed at the Delft Institute of Technology. Its predecessors - "DelFly I" and "DelFly II" - were larger: 23 g and 50 cm, as well as 16 g and 30 cm, respectively. The new robot is capable, obeying the operator's signal, to flutter like a dragonfly and transmit a video image using a miniature camera. And the batteries are enough for him for three minutes of flight at a speed of 5 m / s.

For the sake of weight reduction, something had to be sacrificed: "DelFly II" could not only fly horizontally, but hover over a certain point and move backwards. The new robot does not yet know how, but it is able to get into the most secluded place and show the researchers what is there. After some time, it will be equipped with a pattern recognition system, and it will be able to fly completely independently.

This robot was an important step towards the goal set by the Dutch roboticists: to make an artificial dragonfly weighing one gram and with a wingspan of 5 cm.
