Which part of the monument to the French journalist Victor Noir glistens and why?

In many countries, metal monuments with exposed genitals suffer from the fact that people rub these very organs to a shine - supposedly, this brings sexual luck. And even if the sexual organ is clearly not visible, this does not save individual monuments. At the Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris, there is a monument to the journalist Victor Noir, who lived in the 19th century and was killed in a duel. The monument depicts Noir lying on the ground after receiving a bullet, but the most noticeable detail is the bump in the fly area. According to legend, if a woman has problems in her sex life or cannot give birth, she should kiss this bump, which has long been shining brightly, and then put flowers in Noir's overturned hat.

What type of dinosaurs were cold-blooded or warm-blooded?

The body temperature of dinosaurs was 36-38 ° C, that is, about the same as that of modern mammals. This conclusion was made by paleontologists on the basis of an analysis of the tooth enamel of fossil pangolins, namely, by the content and interconnections of heavy oxygen isotopes in it. Thus, dinosaurs had a body temperature higher than the ambient temperature, unlike modern cold-blooded ones. But to argue that dinosaurs were real warm-blooded is also premature.

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. ... >>

There may be more than a hundred planets in the solar system 27.02.2017

NASA scientists have published a manifesto in which they proposed a new definition of the concept of "planet". If accepted, it would add over a hundred planets to the solar system, including Pluto and our Moon.

Scientists led by Alan Stern (Alan Stern) believe that a cosmic body in the solar system does not have to be in the orbit of the Sun to be considered a planet. What matters is the properties of the bodies, not their interaction with the stars. Stern is the lead investigator on the New Horizons mission, which reached the dwarf planet Pluto for the first time in 2015.

Pluto was decommissioned as a planet in August 2006 and reclassified as a dwarf planet after Caltech astronomer Mike Brown proposed rewriting the definition of planets.

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) has stated that the current definition of a planet in the solar system is: "A celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass to become round under its gravitational force, and (c ) has free neighborhoods around its orbit".

It was the last condition - the clean vicinity of the orbit - that did not allow Pluto to maintain the status of a planet.

Stern is dissatisfied with the limitations that this definition imposes. He believes that it is impossible to listen only to astronomers in such a matter. "...You should really listen to a planetary scientist who knows anything about an object. When we look at an object like Pluto, we don't know what else to call it [if not a planet]." Therefore, Stern and his colleagues rewrote the definition of the planet and submitted it to the IAU for consideration. "A planet is a body of substellar mass that is not fusion-producing and has sufficient gravity to assume a spheroidal shape adequately described by a triaxial ellipsoid, regardless of its orbital parameters." In other words, a planet is a round object in space that is smaller than the stars.

The new definition means that our Moon, as well as the moons of other planets - Titan, Enceladus, Europa, Ganymede - will be called planets, including Pluto.
