Who taught dogs to drive and how?

The New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals taught several dogs to drive over the course of two months as part of a campaign to find owners for stray animals and change neglect. The training started on wooden wheelchairs, powered by instructors and equipped with a steering wheel and a gearshift lever. The dogs were then taught to drive a real car by making special extensions for the gas and brake pedals so that they could be pressed with their hind legs. The final demonstration performance included driving in a straight line and a 180-degree turn, with which the dogs coped quite well, albeit with some commands from the instructors.

When did women start curling their hair?

Men and women have styled and adorned their hair since the beginning of mankind. Interestingly, hair styling is not evidence of civilization. Primitive people and wild tribes all over the world have always paid great attention to their hair.

It seems that in ancient times, curly hair was considered more attractive than straight hair. Artificial hair curlers were used. This was done by both men and women. The men also curled their beards. With the development of civilization, hair styling methods become very diverse.

The Renaissance saw the introduction of iron curling irons, hair dryers, and silk curlers, which became very popular throughout Europe. People liked to wear long hair, and hairstyles were very diverse. However, King Henry VIII of England issued a decree that men wear only short hair. But he allowed to grow beautiful beards and curl mustaches. When King James I of England came to the throne (1603), men again began to wear long hair and curl it.

The custom of wearing short hair was finally established among men in the XNUMXth century. Women have worn long hair for centuries because they were told that this was their special charm. It is interesting to note that despite this, the short haircut was a fad at the court of King Louis XIV, and became popular again at the court of King James I of England.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>
