Examples of conflict are found everywhere, from petty quarrels to international confrontations. The consequence of one of these confrontations - Islamic fundamentalism - is considered on the scale of one of the largest world problems, bordering on the threat of the Third World War. However, studies have shown that conflict is a fairly broad and complex concept to evaluate it unambiguously from a destructive point of view

Helium belongs to the group of noble gases. Liquid helium is the coldest liquid in the world. In this aggregate state, it has a number of unique features, such as superfluidity and superconductivity. We will learn more about its properties below
Each of our movement or thought requires energy from the body. Every cell of the body stores this energy and accumulates it in biomolecules with the help of macroergic bonds
It is well known that electric current is capable of causing some degree of heating of the conductor through which it moves. In everyday life and industry, the thermal power of the current is widely used
"Kepler's laws" - this phrase is familiar to everyone who is fond of astronomy. Who is this person? The connection and interdependence of what objective reality did he describe? Astronomer, mathematician, theologian, philosopher, the smartest man of his time Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) discovered the laws of motion of the planets in the solar system
Erwin Schrödinger (years of life - 1887-1961) - Austrian physicist, who is known as one of the creators of quantum mechanics. In 1933 he received the Nobel Prize in Physics. Erwin Schrödinger is the author of the master equation in such a section as non-relativistic quantum mechanics. It is known today as the Schrödinger equation
The official day of discovery (detection) of gravitational waves is February 11, 2016. It was then, at a press conference held in Washington, that the leaders of the LIGO collaboration announced that a team of researchers managed to record this phenomenon for the first time in the history of mankind
There are no absolute dielectrics in nature. The ordered movement of particles - carriers of electric charge - that is, current, can be caused in any medium, but this requires special conditions. We will consider here how electrical phenomena proceed in gases and how a gas can be turned from a very good dielectric into a very good conductor
Evolutionary doctrine is the sum of all ideas about the patterns, mechanisms of changes occurring in organic nature. According to him, all currently existing species of organisms originated from their distant "relatives" through a long change. It analyzes how individual organisms develop (ontogeny), considers the development paths of integral groups of organisms (phylogeny) and their adaptation
The Earth's atmosphere is a complex, dynamic system, therefore, to improve the accuracy of forecasting, it is necessary to take into account its state in different regions at every moment. For several decades, meteorological satellites have been a necessary tool that provides an opportunity to observe the state of the atmosphere on a global scale
The greatest scientist Robert Hooke is undeservedly forgotten by the general public. But it was he who not only invented many scientific instruments, but also discovered the existence of cells
Ancient alchemists dreamed of transmuting base metals into noble ones. Not only base metals in gold; but the abundant creation of elements that rewrite the book of genesis. Modern science has proved the impossibility of this phenomenon, but the mystical aspirations of alchemists can still be realized in games like Thaumcraft, a popular Minecraft mod
At the moment, science knows one hundred and five chemical elements, systematized in the form of a periodic table. The vast majority of them are classified as metals, which implies that these elements have special qualities. These are the so-called metallic properties. Such characteristics, first of all, include plasticity, increased thermal and electrical conductivity, the ability to form alloys, and a low value of the ionization potential
In this article we will pay attention to the definition of the question of what are the forms of scientific knowledge and what they are. Here the concept of knowledge and science will be defined, and many varieties of this form of studying the world will be studied. For example, we will learn what is analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction, etc
What is the difference between a circle and a circle? What are the dimensions of a circle? How to calculate the diameter of a circle? All these questions are answered in the following article. The most famous formulas for calculating the diameter of a circle are also presented
The do-it-yourself crystal growing project is within the power of not only high school students, but also students from elementary school. We offer a method for growing crystals, as well as a ready-made project for creating large crystals of table s alt and copper sulfate with your own hands
Signs that are useful for humans are not always needed and important for animals. Nature is also able to preserve some species, and eliminate some. This process is called natural selection, and interspecies struggle is one of the tools of this process. That is, animals compete with each other for food, water, territory, and so on. This is how species evolve, they are forced to adapt to some factor or simply disappear from the face of the Earth
What is science? Throughout our lives, we encounter this concept repeatedly. However, not everyone will be able to give a clear answer to this question. Science is the defining value of modern culture, its most dynamic component. In the modern world, it is impossible, when discussing social, anthropological and cultural aspects, not to take into account the achievements of science
The material tells about the main points of the biography of the world famous scientist, as well as the most important areas of his scientific activity
In short, Pierre Simon Laplace is a scientist known in the scientific world as a mathematician, physicist and astronomer of the 19th century. He made a decisive contribution to the theory of planetary motion. But best of all, Laplace is remembered as one of the greatest scientists of all time and is called the "French Newton". In his writings, he applied Isaac Newton's theory of gravity to the entire solar system. His work on the theory of probability and statistics is considered groundbreaking and influenced a whole new generation of mathematicians
From time immemorial, mankind has tried to logically explain various electrical phenomena, examples of which they observed in nature. So, in ancient times, lightning was considered a sure sign of the wrath of the gods, medieval sailors blissfully trembled before the fires of St. Elmo, and our contemporaries are extremely afraid of meeting ball lightning
A very popular method in virology - the neutralization reaction - is based on the property of antibodies to inhibit the action of antigens, including when they interact with each other in the laboratory (in test tubes)
The brain coordinates absolutely all the processes of our body. Probably everyone knows about the cerebral cortex, hemispheres and medulla oblongata. However, in addition to them, there are many more structures in the brain that perform extremely important functions. These structures include the basal ganglia. And one of the constituent parts of this structure is the lenticular nucleus
The lower ends of the radius and ulna interlock with the carpal bones, forming a complex wrist joint, in which rotations can be made in all three axes. The bones of the lower line are attached above to the bones of the upper, below - to the bones of the metacarpus, as well as to each other, forming slow-moving joints
A biosystem is a complex web of biologically relevant organizations, from global to subatomic. This conceptual illustration reflects the multiple nesting systems in nature - populations of organisms, organs and tissues. At the micro and nanoscale, examples of biological systems are cells, organelles, macromolecular complexes, and regulatory pathways
The properties of living matter are useful to know, because this is something that concerns each of us. And directly. After all, a person is a living matter, which is endowed with reason. However, this is not a complete definition
