14. Science, literature, fine arts, calligraphy and architecture of the Arab countries

Ever since the XNUMXth century. how applied sciences to religious disciplines develop:

1) grammar;

2) mathematics;

3) astronomy.

The contribution of the Arabs to mathematical science was significant. Abu-l-Wafa deduced the sine theorem of trigonometry, calculated the table of sines, introduced the concept of secant and cosecant. Arab medieval medicine was glorified by Ibn Sina - Avicenna (980-1037), author of the encyclopedia of theoretical and clinical medicine. Abu Bakr, a famous Baghdad surgeon, gave a classic description of smallpox and measles and used vaccinations. Arab philosophy largely developed on the basis of the ancient heritage.

Enduring world fame brought Omar Khayyam (1048-1122), Persian poet, scientist, his poems:

1) philosophical;

2) hedonic;

3) free-thinking rubai.

In order to destroy the memory of tribal idols, sculpture was forbidden in Islam, images of living beings were not approved. As a result, painting also did not receive significant development in Arab culture, being limited to ornaments. From the XNUMXth century began to develop the art of miniatures, including books.

The artist did not seek to reproduce earthly reality. The true world had to be comprehended speculatively, through the reading of the Koran, the recitation of prayers, the inscription and contemplation of the sacred inscriptions from the Koran, the hadiths, the names of Allah and Muhammad.

In the Muslim medieval culture of the East and West, the degree of mastery of the "beauty of writing", or calligraphy, became an indicator of the intellectuality and education of a person. Various handwritings were developed.

It should be noted that medieval Arabic architecture developed on the basis of the processing of Greek, Roman and Iranian traditions by the Arabs. From the XNUMXth century buildings begin to be decorated with floral and geometric ornaments, which included stylized inscriptions - Arabic script. Such an ornament - the Europeans called it an arabesque - was built on the principle of endless development and rhythmic repetition of the pattern.

The main place in the construction of cities was occupied by religious buildings - mosques. They were a square courtyard surrounded by galleries on pillars or columns. The Arab world also gave birth to such a unique phenomenon as Moorish art.

Moorish art is a conventional name for an artistic style (a mixture of Arabic and Gothic styles) that developed in North Africa and Andalusia (Southern Spain) in the XNUMXth-XNUMXth centuries. Distinctive features are fragile, frost-like carved stone patterns and inscriptions on the walls, thin twisted columns, wrought iron window bars and multi-colored stained-glass windows.

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 ... >>

The notebook comes with a case that protects its display during transport. The lid also has a loop that is used to store the stylus. The device is powered by a lithium-ion battery that can be charged via the USB-C connector located at the bottom. It is claimed that the battery lasts for 10 days of use, but everything, of course, depends on the intensity of use.

The device can store up to 7000 pages of handwritten data. In addition, users can transfer these notes to a computer or smartphone in image format.

The Sharp WG-PN1 will go on sale in November for around $210.
