Why does Nothing Else Matters start with an open string pick?

At the beginning of the song "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica, a plucking is heard on the open first, second, third and sixth strings. Such a compositional solution appeared due to the fact that its author James Hetfield, when he began to compose a song, held a telephone receiver with one hand and talked with his girlfriend.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Why do we sometimes think that the wheels of a moving car are spinning in the opposite direction?

When watching a moving car in some videos, it seems to us that its wheels are spinning backwards. This is a manifestation of the stroboscopic effect due to the inertia of vision. You can choose such a driving speed that in the time of 1/24 of a second (the standard duration of one frame of a film) the wheel makes several turns, but just barely reaches its previous position. Since the human eye is guided by the spokes of the wheel, we get the feeling that it is slowly rotating in the opposite direction. This phenomenon can also be observed in real life - for example, at night on the street, which is illuminated by lanterns with low-frequency pulsation.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Jet engine puts out fires 13.05.2000

The idea, proposed back in the GDR, is being implemented in united Germany: a jet engine can put out fires. More than ten years ago, as part of the conversion in the GDR, turbines from the MIG, which had exhausted their resource, were put on a decommissioned tank.

Water was injected into the nozzles of the running turbines. Caught up by a powerful stream of exhausts, the water turned into the thinnest fog, quickly and effectively extinguishing the fire. Such installations were first used in extinguishing oil wells in Kuwait after the Gulf War.

Now the fire department of the chemical company BASF has independently developed its own version of such an installation. Two turbines from fighters are mounted on a powerful truck. Their exhaust jets carry water, foaming mixture or extinguishing powder up to 130 meters away.

The fuel supply is enough for an hour, while spraying almost half a million liters of water. When tested, an artificial fire in a kilometer-long tunnel was extinguished in a minute. An area the size of a football field is covered with fire-fighting foam in 26 seconds.
