Date: 2012-07-03 04:22 am (UTC)По-моему, "it's not rocket science" - это когда убеждаешь кого-то, что некий предмет не так уж сложен в изучении, как кажется.
А русское "тоже мне, бином ньютона" - какое-то (советское???) псевдоинтеллигентское выражение, причем с издёвкой и пренебрежением.

' Yes, nobody knows,' said the same horrible voice from the next room.' But by Newton's binomial theorem I predict that he will die in nine months' time in February of next year of ancer of the liver, in Ward No. 4 of the First Moscow City Hospital.'
Иностранец совсем не понял о чём речь.

'Sure nobody knows,' the same trashy voice came from the study. The binomial theorem, you might think! He's going to die in nine months, next February, of liver cancer, in the linic of the First Moscow State University, in ward number four.'
Смысл более-менее сохранён, но как это понимают фаны с англоязычного фансайта!!! http://www.masterandmargarita.eu/en/02themas/h18b.html
The expression бином Ньютона! (binom Newtona!) or Newton’s binomial theorem! became very popular in Russian as well. From what follows you will see that anything is easier than Newton’s binomial theorem, even the prediction of someone’s death.
Newton’s binomial theorem is a rather complex mathematical formula developed by Isaac Newton (1643-1727) giving the expansion of powers of sums. for those who like it - Its simplest version is shown on the right of this page.

Date: 2012-07-03 04:58 am (UTC)If, by 1950, rocket science was generally accepted as being intellectually difficult and outside the capabilities of the average Joe, where and when did relatively undemanding tasks start being said to be 'not rocket science'? The answer to that is - the American Football field in the 1980s. Most of the early citations of 'not rocket science' relate to football; for example, this piece from a sports report in the Pennsylvania newspaper The Daily Intelligencer, December 1985:
"Coaching football is not rocket science and it's not brain surgery. It's a game, nothing more."
Prior to the 1980s, 'brain surgery' had been the occupation that simple tasks were said not to be. 'It's not brain surgery' dates from the 1960s. Before that, straightforward tasks were simply said to be 'as easy as pie' or 'as easy as falling off a log'.
George Bush is credited as having mixed his metaphors and come up with 'it's not rocket surgery'

"In a way, movie making is rocket surgery," Mr. Gordon says of the Hollywood melange that beguiles him so. "It's a very quirky art form that intersects with business."
