Which namesakes decided to become brothers?

The Vasiliev brothers, who were glorified by the film "Chapaev", are not brothers at all. In 1925, namesakes Georgy and Sergey Vasiliev met at Sovkino, where they were employed in the same editing room. Often they worked together on projects, and their views on cinema turned out to be largely similar. Soon they began to jointly direct documentaries, and then feature films, invariably indicating the pseudonym "The Vasiliev Brothers" in the credits.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Which object from Shakespeare's play has become half the size in Russian translation?

The catchphrase from Shakespeare's tragedy "Richard III" is widely known: "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!" In the original, the king offers exactly twice as much, that is, the whole kingdom: "A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!". Regarding the origin of this inaccuracy in the translation of the actor Yakov Bryansky, there are two opinions. Perhaps it is due to the fact that Bryansky did not use the English text, but the French prose translation. Or he deliberately changed the size under the influence of Russian fairy tales, where for feats they often promise the hand of the king's daughter and half the kingdom in addition.

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

Dell Expands Range 29.10.2003

Dell, a well-known computer supplier, has announced the expansion of its activities.

The firm intends to establish a trade in music files and offer customers such products as digital music players and flat-panel TVs. The company plans to get a part of the market with its old trick, offering new items before the holidays.

In the Internet music market, however, the firm will have to compete with Apple iTunes, which has successfully started selling MP3s to Mac users and plans to switch to Windows users as well. Also, several other firms have already chosen the online music market.
