What fruits grew on the biblical tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

The forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which Adam and Eve tasted and were expelled from paradise for it, is not specified in any text of the Bible. In the Western Christian tradition, it is usually considered an apple - perhaps because of the consonance of the Latin words malum ("evil") and malum ("apple"). But interpreters of the Bible offer other candidates for the role of the forbidden fruit - for example, grapes, pomegranates or figs. The latter option is justified by the fact that after eating the fruit, Adam and Eve covered their nakedness with the leaves of a fig tree.

Why does the BMW logo show an airplane propeller?

The BMW logo is inherited from its "parent" company Rapp Motorenwerke, and the circle segments were painted white and blue because these colors are symbolic of Bavaria, where the production is located. Later, BMW marketers came up with a legend that the logo depicts a stylized white propeller of an airplane cutting through the blue sky. The fact is that initially BMW was created for the production of aircraft engines and only 10 years later it began producing cars.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Self-propelled pants 23.08.2003

At the Japanese University of Tsukubo (province of Iboroki), self-propelled pants have been invented that relieve a person from fatigue while walking by automatically rearranging his legs.

The device consists of a pore of flat "legs" fixed along the limbs of a person, and a control unit packed in a backpack. The total mass of these additional devices is 17 kg, however, a person practically does not feel their heaviness due to the fact that he does not waste energy on steps. The built-in microprocessor, using special sensors, captures the brain signals sent to make movements, and transmits them to artificial "legs".

The invention is intended primarily for infirm people and patients who are recovering from injuries. It can also be used to work in a disaster area and during sports training.
