Do I need to add hogweed to borscht?

Borscht takes its name from the plant now known as Siberian hogweed (not to be confused with poisonous Sosnovsky's hogweed). Previously, this plant was simply called "borscht" and was the main ingredient in the soup, and then gradually fell into disuse. Today, borsch is not a specific soup, but the name of a whole class of first courses, because in different regions and countries you can find a variety of its recipes. There is only one common feature that allows you to call the soup borscht - the presence of beets in it.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Which planet in the solar system was the first to be discovered with a telescope?

Before the invention of the telescope, the most distant planet available for observation was Saturn (more distant planets cannot be seen with the naked eye). The first telescope appeared in 1608, but more than 170 years passed before the discovery of Uranus, although it was repeatedly observed during this period, describing it as a dim star.

The Aristotelian idea that the number of wandering bodies, planets in the etymological sense of the word, should be equal to seven (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn plus the Sun and Moon), is so rooted in the minds of astronomers that no one followed the period of movement of this dim object.

The honor of discovering a new planet belongs to William Herschel, a musician from Hanover who moved to England. In March 1781, for several nights, he observed a section of the sky in the direction of the constellation Gemini and noticed a volumetric non-point object that slowly moved across the firmament. At first, Herschel thought it was a comet, but the edges of comets seem blurry, and the body he observed was bright and clear.

Astronomers and mathematicians throughout Europe began to calculate the size and orbit of the mysterious object. Already in May 1781, it became finally clear that for the first time since ancient times a planet had been discovered.

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 ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

USB 3.1 up to 10 Gbps 07.08.2013

The USB 3.0 Promoter Group has finalized the USB 3.1 specification for SuperSpeed USB operation at speeds up to 10 Gbps.

The SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps interface provides better data encryption and more than double the performance of the current SuperSpeed USB interface. At the same time, the improved interface has backward compatible USB connectors and cables. Full interoperability is provided by existing software stacks and device class protocols, as well as existing 5Gb/s hubs and USB 2.0 products.

According to Brad Saunders, Chairman of the USB 3.0 Promoter Group, the USB 3.1 specification primarily expands the capabilities of the existing USB 3.0 protocol and hub while scaling data transfer rates to 10Gbps at a higher physical layer.

The working group has tried to keep changes to support high speeds to be limited and consistent with the existing USB 3.0 architecture, which will facilitate the development of new products.
