Who are the patricians?

In the early period of the history of Rome, this is a group of full citizens, the Roman nobility, who held public office and sat in the Senate. It is not known when and by what principle the population of the Eternal City was divided into patricians and plebeians, however, in the XNUMXth-XNUMXth centuries. BC e. there was a political struggle between these groups, during which the plebeians received some of the required rights.

In the late Empire, the title of patrician became a title conferred by the emperor for services to the state.

Why do Chinese people burn painted paper money at funerals?

Many Chinese believe that after death they will go to the underworld. Their ideas about hell are based on the Taoist concept of an underground court, where the soul of the deceased flew, and strengthened thanks to Christian missionaries, but the Chinese perceive hell not in a negative light, but as a world of spirits. So that the deceased could give a bribe to the ruler of hell, Yanlo-Wang, to avoid punishment and just live with dignity in the next world, a ritual of burning specially drawn paper banknotes is common in China. Traditionally, such money was made from bamboo or rice paper, applying simple designs, but from the end of the 19th century banknotes stylized as yuan and dollars began to be widely used. Along with traditional symbols such as dragons, Buddha or the Jade Emperor, these money often features images of popular personalities such as John F. Kennedy, Einstein, Marilyn Monroe.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Earth's most common mineral in space discovered 24.10.2023

The James Webb Space Telescope has brought exciting news by detecting nanocrystalline quartz (SiO2) in the atmosphere of exoplanet WASP-17b, located 1300 light-years from Earth. This unique phenomenon was the first time the most common mineral on Earth was discovered in the atmosphere of an exoplanet, as well as the first to unravel the transit characteristics of clouds on such planets.

Larger than Jupiter, WASP-17b orbits its host star in just 3,7 Earth days, providing an excellent transit observing opportunity. Over the course of 10 hours, the Webb telescope recorded over 1275 measurements of average infrared brightness in the wavelength range from 5 microns to 12 microns. The results of the analysis of the spectra revealed a surprising "bump" at a wavelength of 8,6 μm, inconsistent with known clouds, excluding magnesium silicates and high-temperature aerosols.

The discovery indicates the possible presence of quartz clouds in the atmosphere of WASP-17b.

Scientists suggest that these nanocrystals do not come from rocky surfaces, but are formed in the high layers of the atmosphere at high temperatures and pressures. This discovery contributes to the understanding of atmospheric processes on exoplanets.
