Why was the John Lennon and Yoko Ono cover cut exactly in half?

John Lennon and Yoko Ono released a joint album in 1969, which, among others, included the composition "Two Minutes of Silence". A little less than twenty years later, the American rock band Soundgarden made a "cover version" of this track, albeit under the name "One Minute of Silence". Only Lennon was listed as the author of the music - according to the soloist of Soundgarden, they cut off a minute of Yoko Ono.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

How does altruism manifest itself in the behavior of rats?

Altruism is characteristic not only for humans, but also for many animals in one form or another. Even rats, as experiments show, willingly help their fellows without benefit to themselves. In the first experiment, two rats were placed on the platform, one of which was locked in a narrow cylinder, and the free rat almost always tried to rescue it from captivity. In a complicated experiment, in addition to the cylinder with the rat, a container with chocolate chips was placed on the platform, which the free rat could easily eat on its own. However, in this case, she first released a friend to share a delicacy with him.

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 ... >>

Light in rolls 07.11.2006

A new light source, a flexible luminous film, has been invented at the Munich Institute for Problems of Reliability and Microintegration (Germany).

In fact, it is a flat LED made of organic polymers that glows when an electrical voltage is applied. As is typical for LEDs, the luminous film consumes little energy and almost does not heat up. The brightness of the glow is smoothly adjustable. Longer life than incandescent or fluorescent lamps.

The original lighting device allows you to make the walls or ceiling of the room luminous. The novelty will find application in outdoor advertising, as well as in computer and cell phone screens.
