Who apologized for stepping on the executioner's foot?

When the French Queen Marie Antoinette was led to the guillotine, she stepped on the foot of the executioner. "Excuse me, I did it by accident" - this phrase became her last words.

Why do we need grammar?

Imagine what would happen if you suddenly began to write and speak as you like, without any grammatical rules? Agree, that would be terrible. When you want to express something, you do it precisely, don't you? And you don't want to be misunderstood. Of course, if everyone spoke and wrote perfect English, and everyone you hear and read expressed themselves in perfectly correct English, then maybe there was no need to learn grammar!

Grammar teaches what needs to be corrected in your oral and written speech and why. Knowledge of grammar will help you gain accuracy, clarity of English speech expressions, make it diverse and interesting.

The grammatical principles of each language have their own characteristics. Of course, language is an evolving system that changes with time. Some language forms become obsolete, disappear from use. People change, and with them the grammar of the language of their communication changes. In other words, grammar evolves, changes, and nothing is fixed when it comes to past, present or future English usage.

All words invented by man are divided into 8 sections, which are called parts of speech. This is a noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, interjection. Studying grammar may seem like an unpleasant task, but it will help you show your knowledge completely, with great accuracy.

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 ... >>

Large-scale testing of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox 18.06.2023

Scientists from the University of Basel in Switzerland have conducted a large-scale test of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox in quantum mechanics.

The researchers used two entangled Bose-Einstein condensates of 700 atoms each and demonstrated that the EPR paradox persists even in the presence of a cloud of hundreds of atoms. Such an observation was the first of its kind where the EPR paradox was investigated in spatially separated multiparticle systems.

The results of this experiment are important for the development of quantum metrology, the science of measuring things using quantum theory. Scientists note that the contradiction between quantum mechanics and local realism persists as the size of the system increases to a thousand massive particles.

The experiment offers new possibilities for applications in quantum metrology. One of the two systems can be used as a small, high spatial resolution sensor to study fields and forces, while the other system can serve as a reference for quantum noise reduction.

The EPR paradox, which indicates the incompleteness of the description of the reality of the Universe by quantum mechanics, remains relevant. The scientists emphasize that their results confirm the stability of the EPR paradox on a much larger scale than was previously demonstrated in Bell's experiments. These findings are important for future research in the field of quantum physics and can play a significant role in the development of quantum metrology.
