What is a paradox?

A contradiction resulting from formal logical thinking is called a paradox. If a person refuses linear-formal logic, takes into account the connection of heterogeneous phenomena and comes to unexpected conclusions, his thinking is called paradoxical. A paradox is also called a statement that can neither be proved nor disproved, since it contains a contradiction.

Why in the USA in 1942 did they change the gesture when pronouncing the oath of allegiance to the flag?

In many US states, children in schools and kindergartens say the oath of allegiance to the American flag every day, putting their right hand on their hearts. However, until 1942, the procedure was different: first, the palm turned to the chest, and then the hand was thrown up sharply, and in this position the oath was pronounced. Since this gesture, called the "Bellamy salute", was very similar to the Nazi salute, it was abolished.

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. ... >>

Flying artificial intelligence robot 05.03.2018

The Watson AI is sent to the International Space Station. Based on artificial intelligence, IBM will be made into a special AI that can function in space. This will be Crew Interactive Mobile Companion, CIMON (Team Interactive Mobile Companion).

CIMON is about the size of a medicine ball and weighs about 5 kg. It is made of plastic and metal and created entirely with the help of 3D printing.

CIMON was first conceived in August 2016. Airbus worked with German astronaut Alexander Gerst, who trained CIMON to recognize his voice.

After testing is completed, Gerst will take the AI into space with him, where he will help him in three experiments: he will conduct experiments with crystals, an astronaut and AI will add a Rubik's cube together, and also conduct a complex medical experiment, during which CIMON will play the role of a flying camera.

On its first trip into space, CIMON will have only a few characteristics, but the developers hope that in the future, flying AI will be able to accompany astronauts during deep space expeditions and become their faithful assistant. The first launch of CIMON on the ISS could take place as early as next month.
