17. Vedic literature. Religion of the Vedas
Vedic texts It is primarily religious literature.
Vedic literature was formed over a long and complex historical period, which begins with the arrival of the Indo-European Aryans in India, their gradual settlement of the country (first in the northern and middle regions) and ends with the emergence of the first state formations uniting vast territories.
Traditionally Vedic literature is divided into several groups of texts. First of all, these are the four Vedas (literally: knowledge - hence the name of the entire period and its written monuments); the oldest and most important of them is the Rigveda (knowledge of hymns) - a collection of hymns, which was formed for a long time and finally took shape by the XNUMXth century. BC e.
Somewhat later are the Brahmanas (dating from about the 10th century BC) - the manuals of the Vedic ritual, of which the most important is Shatapat-habrahmana (the Brahmana of a hundred paths). The end of the Vedic period is represented by the Upanishads, which are very important for the knowledge of ancient Indian religious and philosophical thinking.
Vedic religion - this is a complex, gradually developing complex of religious and mythological ideas and their corresponding rituals and cult rites. Partially archaic Indo-European ideas (dating back to the times when the Aryans lived together with other Indo-European tribes on a common territory long before coming to India) of the Indo-Iranian cultural layer (common to the Indian and Iranian Aryans) slip through it.
The Vedic religion is polytheistic, it is characterized by anthropomorphism, and the hierarchy of the gods is not closed, the same properties and attributes are alternately attributed to different gods. In the Rig Veda, Indra plays an important role - the god of thunder and a warrior who destroys the enemies of the Aryans. A significant place is occupied by Agni - the god of fire, through which the Hindu who professes the Vedas makes sacrifices and thus addresses the other gods. The list of deities of the Rigvedic pantheon continues with Surya (the god of the sun), Soma (the god of the intoxicating drink of the same name used in rituals), Ushas (the goddess of the dawn), Dyaus (the god of heaven), Vayu (the god of the winds) and many others.
Some deities, such as Vishnu, Shiva or Brahma, break into the first ranks of deities only in later Vedic texts. The world of supernatural beings is supplemented by various spirits - enemies of gods and people (rakshasas and asuras).
In some Vedic hymns, we meet with the desire to find a general principle that could explain the individual phenomena and processes of the surrounding world.

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 Accelerator KFA2 GeForce GTX 960 EXOC White Edition
12.05.2015
KFA2 brand introduced the GeForce GTX 960 EXOC White Edition graphics accelerator with factory overclocking for gaming desktops.
The novelty is made in white color, in which the casing, the reinforcing back plate and the blades of two fans are painted. At the same time, the printed circuit board itself has a black design, which creates a certain contrast.
The "heart" of the video card is a 28-nm GM206 chip (Maxwell architecture). The product contains 1024 stream processors, 64 texture and 32 raster units. The accelerator is endowed with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory with a 128-bit bus.
The base frequency of the chip core has been increased from the standard 1126 to 1279 MHz, and the frequency in the "turbo" mode - from 1178 to 1367 MHz. In this case, the memory operates at a reference frequency of 7010 MHz.
The composition of the cooling system, in addition to the pair of mentioned coolers, includes nickel-plated copper heat pipes with a diameter of 8 mm, which have direct contact with the GPU.
To connect monitors, there are two DVI interfaces, as well as one DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 2.0 connector.
It will be possible to purchase the KFA2 GeForce GTX 960 EXOC White Edition accelerator at an estimated price of 210 euros.
