Image

More about this unusual woman in OUR issue. white pants Helga insists that it is light pants that can refresh the image of a mature lady. They go well with all other color accents and can be used when creating both autumn and summer looks. The same applies to shoes: they can be combined with everything.

AmpedSense.OptimizeAdSpot(‘AP’); AmpedSense.OptimizeAdSpot(‘IL’); AmpedSense.OptimizeAdSpot(‘IR’); – Yesterday, for fun, I announced in the newspaper that tomorrow at 18.00 there will be a meeting of fools in the main square. AmpedSense.OptimizeAdSpot(‘PL’); AmpedSense.OptimizeAdSpot(‘PC’); AmpedSense.OptimizeAdSpot(‘PR’); – And sho, did nobody come? – Please, Fima! The area was filled to capacity. “What are you, Semyon Leonidovich?” Everyone came to see who’s coming… A friend of mine complained that he was only surrounded by narrow-minded people: relatives who would one day live and spend money on utter nonsense, bosses who didn’t think outside the box, and friends who after 30 years started degrading. And every year it gets worse and worse. I don’t want to see myself anymore. Then I added that there was probably nothing to watch on TV, and modern boring ...

The most extraordinary scientific tandem: Yuri Knorozov and the cat Asya

Image
Yuri Knorozov and the cat Asya went down in the history of linguistics as the most extraordinary scientific tandem. According to the Soviet linguist who deciphered the Maya writings, Aspid (full name Asya) was the most loyal collaborator and the most intelligent assistant. The cat had an undoubted gift – a listener, Knorozov noted. Somehow Asya gave birth to a kitten named Fat Kys. Knorozov enthusiastically watched Asya teach the kitten to hunt and analyzed the signals with which she “talked” to the kitten. At some point it occurred to him that human communication is also based on the interaction of such signals – “sends”, signals – “receives”. And he wrote an absolutely brilliant article “On the Classification of Signals” in which he developed a theory of how the brain works, why it produces these signals – for joint activities to achieve a common goal. And it was this Asya, Knopozov, in all seriousness, tried...

7 proofs that a time machine exists

Image
Sometimes in life such events happen that willy-nilly you start thinking about the reality of time travel. If you still did not believe in it, now we will report on the events that confirm this. Leonardo da Vinci’s diagrams and drawings are amazing – an airplane, a bicycle, a parachute. He dreamed of flying and was definitely trying to get a little closer to his dream. He even built a telescope prototype for this. Sometimes it seems that this talented person was born at the wrong time. Fidel Castro is another amazing person. They tried to kill him so many times, but each time Castro miraculously managed to avoid it. Once he was purposely put in a defective wetsuit, but literally at the last minute he decided to change gear. As a result, another person died, and the attempt again failed. The wreckage of the Titan was published 14 years before the Titanic tragedy. Then an unknown author Morgan Robertson described in incredible detail the sinking of a huge ship. Everyt...

Who made the Croatian island of Baljenac look like a fingerprint?

Image
Everyone who sees the island of Balenac from above asks the question: what happened to this piece of land? That’s not surprising, since a small island in the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Croatia is surprisingly similar to a fingerprint. This view is bestowed on it by 23 km of stone walls located on only 0.14 m². km area. Who built these walls and most importantly – why? Even a cursory glance is enough to realize that the island’s unusual relief is man-made. A closer look reveals that the stones are “dry laid”, without the slightest trace of mortar. This is probably why most of the walls have collapsed and what remains of the best-preserved fragments are just over a meter high. The work of unknown masons is impressive. Forming an intricate maze, the walls approach the water itself. It may seem that they are very old, but they are not. The walls of Baljenac Island that you can see today were built in the 19th century. But who needed a lot of time and effort for...
