Who painted the black square a quarter of a century before Malevich?

A quarter of a century before Kazimir Malevich, the French writer and humorist Alphonse Allais painted a painting entitled "Battle of Negroes in a Cave in the Dead Night" - a black canvas with almost square proportions. He also anticipated John Cage's minimalist all-silence piece of music "4'33" by almost seventy years with his similar work, Funeral March for the Burial of the Great Deaf.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

Why do we have moles?

There is an old belief about moles. It says that when the expectant mother is frightened or anxious before the birth of the child, the child is born with a mole on the body. And this mole supposedly has a special contour, reminiscent of what scared the mother! Well, superstition is superstition! But still, we note that there is no scientific explanation of why moles appear and how to prevent them. They are present at birth or appear shortly after birth, which is why they are called "birthmarks" or "moles".

Did you know that almost every person has at least one mole? On average, a person has 14 moles! They can appear almost anywhere, including the scalp. A mole is an overgrowth of tissue. It may consist of blood vessel tissues, pigment-containing cells, cells with a hair follicle, or connective tissue. Thus, moles can be of different origin.

There are two reasons why moles are not very desirable. One of them is the probability of its degeneration into a cancerous tumor. This is extremely rare, and most people have little cause for concern. The second reason, of course, is that moles may not look very attractive, especially if they are large and also located on the face. But since most moles never cause any major inconvenience, it's best to leave them alone. When a mole is located in a place where it can often be injured, then it is advisable to remove it. For example, moles on the soles of the feet, palms, on the neck under the collar or on the waist are constantly exposed to mechanical irritation. In such cases, it is better to eliminate them before reaching adolescence.

If the mole begins to grow, change color, peel off, itch, or bleed, you must also get rid of it. And what is very important: only a surgeon should remove moles!

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 ... >>

Apple iPad Tablet 24.03.2010

As experts predicted, on January 27, Apple introduced its "latest creation" - the Apple iPad tablet. By design, it is similar to other products of the company, for which it has already been nicknamed "iPod-nepepoctok".

Touch IPS-display (!) 9,7 inches in size has a slightly forgotten resolution of 1024x768 pixels and supports Multi-touch. The heart of the tablet is an Apple A4 processor with a frequency of 1 GHz. iPad will support Wi-Fi or 36-connection. The main purpose of the device is to browse the Internet, read e-books (Apple launched the iBooks online store), listen to music, watch movies, etc.

The most notable thing about the iPad is the price, which starts at $500 in the US.
