Isaac Newton, the world-famous physicist, once conducted an interesting experiment: he installed a trihedral prism in the path of an ordinary sunbeam, as a result of which it decomposed into 6 primary colors. It is worth noting that the scientist was initially able to distinguish only 5 segments from them, but then he decided that he would divide this beam by as many as seven, so that the number was equal to the number of notes.

The branches of the humanities include not only the Russian language and literature, as many people think. Here you can distinguish a whole range of scientific disciplines. One of the lesser known is sociolinguistics. Few people can say with certainty what it is. Although sociolinguistics as a science plays an important role in the language development of modern society. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

If you feel like you've been getting a little fat and heavier lately, it's time to go to the moon. Gravity there is much less than on Earth, which means that you will experience many times less gravity from your own weight. Recall that weight is the product of body mass and the force of attraction, which on the moon is only 17% of the earth's. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

Many people mistakenly believe that they first encounter geometric shapes in high school. There they learn their names. But in fact, from childhood, any object that a child sees, feels, smells or interacts with him in any other way is precisely a geometric figure. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

In the field of artificial intelligence, an evolutionary algorithm (EA) is a subset of total population calculations based on metaheuristic optimization. EA uses mechanisms inspired by biological development such as reproduction, mutation, recombination and selection. The candidate solution in the problem of evolutionary optimization algorithms plays the role of individuals in the population. And also the fitness function determines the quality of the answers.

Unsolvable problems are 7 most interesting mathematical problems. Each of them was proposed at one time by well-known scientists, as a rule, in the form of hypotheses. For many decades, mathematicians all over the world have been racking their brains over their solution. Those who succeed will be rewarded with a million US dollars offered by the Clay Institute.

Scientific activity is a specific activity of people, the main purpose of which is to obtain new knowledge about reality. Knowledge is its main product. However, he is not the only one. Other products of science include the scientific style of rationality, which extends to various areas of human activity, and a variety of devices, methods, and installations that are used outside of science (mainly in production).

The Coanda effect is a long-discovered phenomenon based on the pressure difference along the flow height. The outflowing flow of liquid or gas is attracted to the adjacent surface. While this effect is used in secondary areas, but perhaps in the future it will become the basis for the creation of new aircraft. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

The olivine belt of the Earth is known in our time thanks to the science fiction novel "The Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin". The "Gold Rush", the scientific and technological revolution of the early 20th century and the aggravated social problems of that time - everything was mixed up in this literary work of A. N. Tolstoy. Before starting work, the writer consulted with scientists. However, does the olivine belt actually exist, or is it just a metaphor?. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

Buying their first telescope, an optical time machine to explore the universe, amateur astronomers have different goals.

The Church-Turing thesis refers to the concept of an efficient, systematic, or mechanical method in logic, mathematics, and computer science. It is formulated as a description of the intuitive concept of computability and, in relation to general recursive functions, is more often called Church's thesis. It also refers to the theory of computer-computable functions. The thesis appeared in the 1930s, when computers themselves did not yet exist. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

If the being whose meaning Heidegger is looking for seems so elusive, it is because it is not an essence. It's not something; it is not a creature. "Being is essentially different from being, from beings." This is the answer to the question: "What is Heidegger's metaphysics", which describes existence as the will of a non-existent being.

The bond in protein peptides is shorter than other compounds of peptide groups, as it has a partial double bond characteristic. Considering what a peptide bond is, we can conclude that its mobility is low. The electronic construction of the peptide bond sets the solid planar structure of the group of peptides. The planes of such groups are located at an angle to each other. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

Sevastopol is called the white city for a reason. It is almost entirely built of Inkerman stone. Rome and Alexandria also used this stone for building.

The Meissner effect is the process of absolute displacement of the magnetic field from the entire volume of the conductor. This usually occurs during the transition of the conductor to the superconducting state. The Meissner effect is divided into full and partial, depending on the quality of the superconductors. The full Meissner effect is observed when the magnetic field is completely displaced. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01
