The melody of what world-famous hit did the author dream about?

Paul McCartney claims he dreamed of the melody of "Yesterday". When he woke up, he immediately sat down at the piano and played it. After that, for a month, he asked everyone he knew in the music business if they knew such a melody, fearing that he was a victim of cryptomnesia. Having finally made sure that this was his music, McCartney, together with Lennon, began to invent the text. In the draft it began: "Scrambled Eggs / Oh, my baby how I love your legs".

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

In which war was one of the rounds of negotiations devoted to limiting the size of flags?

The ceasefire negotiations at the end of the Korean War took place in an ordinary army tent. Even here, the parties waged a struggle for supremacy, bringing larger and larger flags to each round of negotiations. This continued until the flags could no longer physically fit in the tent, at which time a special round was scheduled to settle their sizes. The approved flags are still used when North and South Korea meet in the demilitarized zone.

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 ... >>

Camera Pentax Kx 26.11.2009

Pentax has introduced a new device K-x, belonging to the segment of low-cost SLR cameras. It will replace the K2000.

This model differs from the previous model in an improved CMOS sensor with a resolution of 12 megapixels, which has increased light sensitivity. Its standard range is 200-6400 ISO units, however, it is possible to expand its boundaries to 100 from below and 12 from above.
