68. GLOBAL SOCIO-CULTURAL CRISIS
In the XX century. there was a crisis not only in the field of material, but also spiritual life. A new form of socio-cultural crisis has also acquired a global character. It was in this century that mankind twice experienced the horror of world wars, which devalued all ideas about humanism.
Space of spirituality scientific and technological development, especially that developed at the present stage, also reduces. The increasing complexity of technology increases the likelihood of human errors and increases the scale of their possible destructive consequences. The modern use of reason (the purpose and nature of which have not been fully studied) creates a threat to the existence of its very carrier - man.
But a person without an idea of the deep meaning and direction of his life and all of humanity will not be able to solve the problem of his existence.
Therefore, many scientists insist on the need to strengthen the spiritual, moral vector of development.
In their opinion, the survival of mankind will be ensured not only by the development of the ecology of nature, but above all by the ecology of the spirit, moral ecology.
But it is precisely in this area that man has not advanced forward throughout his entire evolution. Therefore, in order to survive, a person must make a fundamentally new revolution, which has never happened before - axiological. The impetus for its onset is seen in the fact that an increasing number of people are showing hostility to the value system of industrialism with its emphasis on unbridled growth and consumerism.
The ability to breathe fresh air, use clean water, and lead a healthy lifestyle is becoming increasingly valuable. Of course, these impulses have not yet led to a radical change in the way people live. Value consciousness still lags behind the needs of the time.
Many are still guided by the philistine principle "enough for our age", do not think about the long-term interests of civilization.
Mass production capability provoke inflated consumer expectations, selfish motives, moral relativism.
Without the ability of civilization to provide all this, it is economically impossible even to approach the formulation of the problem of establishing a new set of post-material values.
The situation seems to be hopeless. But many people are quite optimistic about the possibility of a socio-cultural crisis. A common interest in survival will force humanity to follow the path of guided development, in the spirit of the joint evolution of the material and spiritual principles.
But until this happens, the socio-cultural crisis will retain its current significance.

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 ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Robocops guarding airports
26.06.2023
Singapore's Changi Airport security now includes two police robots that have been unveiled after five years of testing. This is the first project of its kind in the Southeast Asian city-state and aims to strengthen the work of forward officers in the coming years.
Police robots can set boundaries and warn bystanders with flashers, sirens and speakers while they wait for the real cops to arrive. In addition, members of the public can communicate directly with the police by pressing a button on the front of the robots.
"The integration of robotics improves the operational efficiency and capabilities of our employees, allowing them to perform their duties more efficiently," said Airport Police Operations Officer Lim Ke Wei.
Each robot has built-in speakers for audio messages and an LCD back panel for visual messages. They are approximately 1,7 meters high, but they have retractable masts that allow you to increase the height to 2,3 meters.
The robots are also equipped with multiple 360-degree cameras, allowing the airport police to have a complete overview of the situation.
These latest developments will be used to carry out civilian duties in a technologically advanced country with a population of more than 5 million people. Previous versions of the robots were used in public parades in 2018 and 2022.
