And here, when these insights and information visited me, I remembered the wonderful wit of the outstanding Soviet physicist Lev Davydovich Landau, who claimed that the TV is a garbage chute that works in the opposite direction. The wit is, of course, cute, but it turns out that scientific insights often turn into reality!
