When did the first bus appear?

The first bus - "Royal Patent" - appeared in 1831 in Great Britain. It made regular flights between Gloucester and Cheltenham. It had a steam engine. This vehicle fiercely competed with omnibuses for four months, but then, due to design imperfections, it still gave up.

An omnibus is a type of urban public transport that was widespread in the second half of the XNUMXth century. It was a large multi-seat horse-drawn cart. Later, a horse-drawn tram appeared - we can say that this is an omnibus that ran on rails, or a horse-drawn tram.

Horse-drawn carriages were finally defeated by buses only in the XNUMXth century, when they were equipped with reliable gasoline and diesel engines. Now these are safe machines, without which it is impossible to imagine everyday life. In big cities they number in the thousands.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Do animals understand each other?

If we mean the ability of animals to communicate with each other, transmitting signals with signs or sounds, then yes. If it means communication like human language, then no.

Even among humans, communication does not always take place through words. We have a peculiar way of expressing anger shrugging in order to show indifference nodding and head shaking gestures and more. Most animals, by scent and signs, express the same thing.

When a hen makes low noises or ducks, all her chicks understand that this is a warning of danger. When a horse neighs or beats with its hoof, others perceive it as a certain signal. Some animals can understand subtle signs or sounds. When a bird perches on a branch just to look around, the others do not move. But with her other intentions, they can let her know that she flew away, and most likely the bird will do so.

Dogs communicate in a variety of ways. They not only bark, but also howl, whine, growl, raise their paw or bare their teeth. Moreover, other dogs are well aware of what this means in each case.

Animals communicate with each other not only by sounds and gestures, but also by smells. This, for example, helps herd animals to stick together. And what a huge difference this has for dogs, of course, you know.

Monkeys are considered the most intelligent, but, alas, their language is no better than that of other animals. They use sounds and facial expressions to show feelings of anger, hunger, or pleasure. But they have nothing like the words of human speech.

Unlike humans, who have to learn to talk, monkeys and other animals know their "language" from birth. They will emit signals appropriate for their species, even if they have never seen their own kind before.

Birds, however, learn to sing - at least in part! That is why the sparrow among the canaries tries to sing like them. He's learning a kind of "foreign language"!

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. ... >>
