What musician once sang about forgetting the words to this song?

Once at a concert in France, the lead singer of the Icelandic band Sigur Rós Jonsi forgot the lyrics. Without stopping, he improvised to the same music: "Damn, I forgot the words. But that's okay. Because I'm in France, where no one will understand."

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

What is amnesia?

From time to time there are reports in the newspapers about people who have "forgotten" who they are. Such people do not remember anyone and nothing from their past, including their name. We say that such people suffer from amnesia.

We all experience negative emotions from time to time. We feel resentful, angry, frustrated or scared for some reason. When we experience emotional stress, we need to do something about it. For example, the simplest thing is to scream, blush, or break out in a cold sweat. In fact, such things happen against our will. These are considered normal reactions because they can happen to anyone.

But a person can respond to emotional stress in other ways. Instead of turning to face the problems that have unsettled him, he tries to act as if nothing bothers him. He "runs" from problems, thus "protecting" himself from emotional stress.

One type of such reaction is amnesia. A person simply acts as if everything that disturbs and upsets him so much did not happen to him, but to someone else! He "forgets" his worries. Forgetting this, he forgets many other things related to his anxieties - including his name! A person simply cannot remember anything about his past.

But in the present, he can navigate quite normally. He lives and works like any other person, and may not attract anyone's attention. Sometimes a person suddenly, on his own, wakes up after amnesia. In many cases, however, the patient must be helped to recover by a psychiatrist. It is curious that after the amnesia passes, people do not remember anything that happened to them during it.

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. ... >>

To space by plane 25.03.2013

The Swiss company Swiss Space Systems (S-3) announced its intention to create a suborbital launch system suitable for launching small satellites into low Earth orbit. The start of flight tests is scheduled for 2017.

The launch system will consist of a carrier aircraft based on the Airbus A300 airliner and an unmanned suborbital vehicle. The airliner will lift the suborbital plane to a height of more than 10 km, after which it will undock, and the spaceplane will begin climbing. Thrust will be provided by rocket engines using standard cheap and available fuels. The suborbital vehicle will reach a height of more than 80 km, after which it will eject a payload. Then the booster rocket stage will lift the satellite into an orbit up to 700 km high. Both the carrier aircraft and the suborbital vehicle are, of course, reusable.

Such a launch system should provide a cheap launch of satellites weighing up to 250 kg. The cost of such a launch will be about 12 million dollars, which is 4 times cheaper than modern methods of launching cargo into space using launch vehicles.

The Swiss Space Systems project is quite feasible with the current level of technology. It will be one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly as all parts of the launch system can be reused. In addition, the relatively low launch cost will allow a wide range of commercial and scientific organizations to be involved in space exploration. The system will be especially effective when launching nanosatellites weighing up to 10 kg, which are gaining popularity, into space.
