What does the spell that the Old Man Hottabych utters in the book of Lazar Lagin mean?

The spell "Fuck-tibidoh", strongly associated with Old Man Hottabych, is not found either in Lazar Lagin's book or in the 1956 film. It was invented for a radio play, and later popularized in the 16th series "Well, you wait!", where a hare appears in the image of Hottabych. And in the very first edition of the book, the genie utters another spell - "Lehododilikraskalo". This mysterious word almost coincides with the beginning of the Jewish liturgical hymn for the meeting of Shabbat in Ashkenazi pronunciation.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

What river did Yermak try to swim across after the attack of Khan Kuchum?

Contrary to the well-known song to the verses of K. F. Ryleev, which claims that the tragedy happened "on the wild bank of the Irtysh", the historical night battle took place on the banks of the Vagay River.

This tributary of the Irtysh unsuccessfully tried to swim across the wounded Yermak Timofeevich, but drowned under the weight of chain mail.

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 ... >>

The two-photon method made it possible to increase the accuracy of nanoscale measurements by a hundred times 14.05.2018

The accuracy of measuring the size of nanostructures has been increased by at least a hundred times, thanks to the work of researchers from the University of Warwick, the QuantIC center and the University of Glasgow. A new method using pairs of photons, the fundamental particles of light, makes it possible to measure the thickness of objects 100 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair, with an accuracy 100 times greater than any other method.

The new measurement method uses a source that emits pairs of photons that are almost identical in all respects. These photons are separated using a component called a light splitter, about 30 thousand pairs of photons are used to carry out one measurement cycle, and about 500 billion photons are used to carry out the entire measurement as a whole.

One of the photons, photon A, remains inside the light splitter, and the second photon, photon B, passes through the object, causing its speed to slow down somewhat. After that, photon B again returns to the light splitter and leaves it together with photon A. Measuring the delay between the exit of photons A and B from the splitter gives the value of the thickness of the object through which photon B passed. And the accuracy of such measurements is at least 100 times higher than the accuracy similar measurements made with only one photon.

With this method it is possible to measure objects made of transparent material. But even this is quite enough to study the structure and properties of cell membranes, DNA molecules. In addition, the new measurement method can be used for quality control in the production of graphene and other conventionally two-dimensional materials.

"The most interesting thing about this achievement is that the measurements are not carried out with the help of some unstable quantum technologies, but with the help of sensors based on time-tested conventional physical principles," says Dr George Knee, who developed the theoretical basis of the experiment. , - "A higher measurement accuracy was obtained by us due to the special adjustment of the interferometer and its constant recalibration, which made it possible to eliminate the slow time and temperature drift."
