5 Features of Indian culture. Literature. The science. Religion. Music. Dance. Theatre. Movie

India is one of the oldest countries in the world that laid the foundations of the global civilization of mankind.

Indian literature has about 40 centuries of existence. It is so heterogeneous and was created in so many languages that it is extremely difficult to describe it. The most ancient is the Vedic literature. For a long time the Vedas had the character of oral art.

A prominent representative of Bengali literature is Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) - poet and writer, musician and artist. The pinnacle of recognition of Tagore's poetic work was the award of the Nobel Prize in Literature to him for 1913 BC for the collection of poems "A Handful of Songs".

Indian science has made great strides. Ancient Indian scientists developed the decimal system of counting and introduced the concept of zero. With minor errors, they determined the distance from the Earth to the Moon and the Sun, calculated the radius of the Earth, and made many astronomical and scientific discoveries. All major religions of the world are represented in India:

1) Hinduism;

2) Islam;

3) Christianity;

4) Buddhism;

5) Judaism;

6) Zoroastrianism.

Hinduism is the most widespread in the country, which is practiced by more than 80% of the population. It is followed by Islam (about 12%), then - Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, etc.

The peaceful coexistence of different religions in India has created a unique atmosphere of identity in the culture of this country. The religious views of the Indians on the world are vividly and succinctly expressed in their fine arts.

The classical music of India has its own specifics. There is no European harmony in it. Indian religious music has never been written down. Classical Indian music is performed on Indian national instruments. These primarily include wines and sitars, as well as a large number of different drums.

Indian classical dance has its roots in ancient times. It is filled with specific content. Each movement of the legs, arms, eyes, eyebrows and other parts of the body has its own meaning, so Indian dance can be read, in addition, it is often accompanied by dance recitative.

Indian theater is one of the oldest theaters in the world: its theory and practice were developed around the XNUMXnd century BC. BC e.

Indian cinema is a unique phenomenon that has no analogues in world cinema. Indian cinema is original. It is a natural continuation of the musical-dance drama. It is always national: the action of any film is always connected with India and its people.

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 ... >>

Invisible car speakers 24.11.2022

Korean LG Display showed a new development for cars, a very thin Thin Actuator Sound Solution speaker, which the company called "invisible". Due to their modest size and low weight, such speakers can be placed in the most unexpected and previously inaccessible places, hiding from the eyes as much as possible. Although compact, the Thin Actuator Sound Solution vibrates to deliver rich, three-dimensional sound.

LG managed to reduce the size and weight by removing the voice coil, magnet and other components of traditional speakers. The Actuator Sound Solution uses a so-called film exciter: thanks to it, the device is able to transmit vibration to surrounding materials.

Speaker dimensions - 150 millimeters high and 90 millimeters wide, which is slightly larger than the size of a regular passport. The thickness is only 2,5 millimeters, and the weight is 40 grams. This will allow manufacturers to embed an innovative speaker that does not need to be played in almost any part of the cabin. For example, it can be hidden in the upholstery of the canvas, the central tunnel, the front panel and the head restraints.

In addition, the Actuator Sound Solution does not use rare elements such as neodymium commonly used in speakers. Thanks to this, the device turned out to be even more environmentally friendly.

According to the developers, in terms of sound quality, the novelty is not inferior to standard speakers. The Thin Actuator Sound Solution will go on sale next year.
