8. Features of ancient culture. Religion. Theatre. Music

Antique culture in the history of mankind is a unique phenomenon, a role model and a standard of creative perfection. Greek culture was formed on the basis of the Aegean and Crete-Mycenaean cultures and became the cradle of modern European culture.

The special geographical position of Greece - the intersection of busy maritime trade routes, city-states with their democracy and a special way of thinking (contemplation, plus a high level of logic) - constitute the content and originality of Greek culture.

Ancient Rome means not only the city of Rome, but also all the countries and peoples conquered by it as part of the Roman state. Ancient Rome gave mankind an example of an enriched cultural environment: comfortable cities with paved roads, magnificent bridges, buildings of libraries, archives, palaces with solid furniture.

In ancient culture, there is a desire to express their understanding of the world. Aesthetic categories are being developed that express important assessments and aspects of the attitude of the Greeks:

1) harmony;

2) symmetry;

3) beauty.

The ancient religion is characterized by polytheism - polytheism. Gradually, more individualized gods emerged, such as Zeus.

Numerous priestly colleges (vestals, augurs) maintained respect for the gods and observance of customs and traditions.

Theater played an important role in the life of the ancient Romans. It could express their feelings and emotions. The theater not only reflected the life of the ancient Greeks and Romans, but also served as a manifestation of their interest in politics. Ancient Greece left 3 names of the authors of the tragedy:

1) Aeschylus;

2) Sophocles;

3) Euripides.

The fate of the theater in the Hellenistic era is interesting. The first work of the creator of the "new comedy" - comedy of manners - Menander (342-291 BC) dedicated to the life of ordinary Athenian families with their worries.

Women's roles have always been played by men. Greek actors wore masks on their faces, which were replaced even during the performance of one role. In the Hellenistic era, the art of the actor became a profession.

The architecture of the Roman theater had a number of features that distinguished it from the Greek. Seats for spectators were arranged in one or more tiers in the form of a semicircle. Circus performances and gladiator fights held in the Colosseum were very popular.

Music was also of great importance in antiquity. The Greeks believed that the harmony in music creates the mood of a person. A distinctive musical culture existed in Rome as well. Descriptions of ancient triumphal, wedding, memorial and drinking songs have been preserved.

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 ... >>

Mobile phones ruin your posture 24.12.2003

Interesting results were brought by the research of a group of scientists led by Paul Hodges. They conducted experiments on the influence of mobile phones on human posture.

Volunteers were asked to walk around the room with connected sensors that recorded the degree of tension in the muscles of the back and abdomen. Another group of people walked around the room in silence. The results showed that when talking on a mobile phone, the muscles of the back tense up almost twice as much. And the tension of the back muscles, in the end, leads to violations of posture.

Muscle overstrain is a consequence of not only the wrong position of the back, but also a violation of the normal rhythm of breathing. After all, when talking, the rhythm, when there was one breath and one exhalation for each step, is broken. The current research is not the first stone in the garden of mobile phones.

Recall that there is information showing their relationship, for example, with brain cancer. However, this does not affect the rate of growth in the popularity of devices - worldwide demand for phones is simply huge.
