In 1878, the largest conical pendulum clock ever built was installed at the Palais du Champ on the occasion of the Paris International Exhibition.It is a monument with a height of more than 7 meters, consisting of a plinth decorated with bas-reliefs, on each of its four corners there are two-meter bronze caryatids supporting a pyramidal tower

Paralysis - a rather terrible condition in which part of, so to speak, "physiological" functions becomes beyond the control of a person, despite the fact that at the level of the central nervous system everything can be in order

The special theory of relativity, created by Albert Einstein in 1905, is based on the constancy of the speed of light. Its excess, according to mathematical logic, leads to an advance by the consequence of the cause (reverse flow of time)

If you believe everything that is written on the Internet (including us), quantum physicists can be congratulated. Sounds cool: scientists (and even Russian) turned back time. Straight "Back to the Future"

2018 was full of scientific discoveries and technological breakthroughs. For example, archaeologists have found the lost cities of the Maya, and in China, possibly the first genetically modified children in the history of mankind

When America and the Soviet Union consistently tested a nuclear bomb in the 1940s, both superpowers decided that the future belonged to the atom. Various large-scale projects using the half-life of uranium isotopes and other elements with similar properties have been developed by almost dozens

An international group of physicists in the ATLAS collaboration (CERN) discovered one of the rarest phenomena observed at the Large Hadron Collider

Do androids, as science fiction writer Philip Kindred Dick have suggested, really think of an electric sheep in their dreams? Scientists have been arguing about the meaning and purpose of dreams for many years

The irreconcilable enmity between science and the occult, which scientists now unequivocally consider quackery - the thing is far from obvious. Life talks about how science and technology a hundred years ago, with varying success, tried to reach out to ghosts

A combat laser is rightfully considered a terrible weapon of tomorrow, Alexander Mikhailov, head of the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis, told Zvezda.“It is quite possible that in 10-15 years, laser weapons may acquire the status of a kind of deterrent, which nuclear weapons have. A

The problem of energy saving is becoming more acute every day. Ilyich's bulbs are being replaced by fluorescent bulbs, those, in turn, by LED ones. They become not only energy efficient, but also have a longer service life … It would seem - that's all, "live and rejoice", but the inventors do not stop!R

Many probably do not know that before the 60s in the USSR, there were 127 volts. But in the US, not 110 volts, but 120 volts. The voltage in the power grids was increased in order to reduce the cost of wires, more precisely, materials for wires

What is teleportation?As mentioned above, the term teleportation came to us from science fiction literature. However, if in books this process showed the possibility of moving a person and objects even to the most extreme distances, then modern quantum physics is able to transfer a quantum state

NYPD used a photo of Hollywood actor Woody Harrelson to catch a thief, who looks a lot like him, using the city's facial recognition system The incident happened almost two years ago, but it became known about it only a few days ago. Due to the fact that the law enforcement agencies had a very poor quality photo, they uploaded a high-resolution photo of the actor, which they found on the Internet, into the facial recognition system

An international group of Russian and German researchers has made a breakthrough in the creation of materials with properties unattainable in nature

Back in 1982, a wonderful event happened. A research team led by Elaine Aspect at the University of Paris presents what is arguably one of the most significant experiments in the 20th century

About seven thousand rare (orphan) diseases are known in the world. Most of the - hereditary. Sometimes it takes years to find the genetic mutation that causes them, and drug development is very expensive

The US military was inspired by superheroes such as Wolverine and Hulk, whose body can repair itself after any damage, and decided to create a special chip that will help people stop using drugs

Sometimes weirdos are born who do strange and ridiculous things. But for some reason the world only gets better from this. Today "NM" will talk about one such eccentric. His name is Seth Goldstein. We don't know if he is too lazy to tie his own tie, or simply too busy to waste his time on it

The T-HR3 robot from the Japanese company Toyota received a major and perhaps the most important update in its history. Engineers have developed for him a full-fledged remote communication system with duplication of operator gestures

In 2012, sitting in a hot pool, physicist Seth Lloyd proposed a quantum Internet application to the creators of Google - Sergey Brin and Larry Page
