Add to bookmarks Don't show Habr

Ранее в этом блоге я уже обращался к личности сэра Роджера Пенроуза (род. 1931), великого математика и космолога, также прославившегося исследованием апериодических мозаик и сознания. В 2020 году Пенроуз стал одним из самых возрастных лауреатов Нобелевской премии (по физике) с формулировкой «За открытие того, что образование чёрных дыр с необходимостью следует из общей теории относительности».

Пять тысяч глаз DESI

У хамелеона два глаза работают порознь. Каждый управляется независимо, и ящерица ухитряется одновременно высматривать добычу одним глазом и следить за окрестностями другим. В природе эта способность встречается, хотя и редко, у некоторых рыб, раков, морских коньков. Но никто, кроме хамелеона, не умеет на лету переключаться между независимым режимом и бинокулярным зрением, когда нужно точно оценить расстояние до будущего обеда. Дальше эволюция не пошла, для выживания в природе большего не требовалось.... Read more ›
