Awesome Facts About Illutions

ILLUSIONS

Illusion comes from the Latin word Illudere with means “ to mock” or “make fun of” . Illusions trick us into seeing something different than actually what is there.

What Are Optical Illusions?

Optical illutions refers to any illusion that makes

a false impression to mislead the human visual system into perceiving what is present.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF ILLUSIONS

Physiological illusions Physiological illusions, such as the afterimages following bright lights or adapting stimuli of prolonged alternating patterns (contingent perceptual after-effect, CAE), are the effects on the eyes of prolonged stimulation of a specific type - brightness, tilt, colour, movement and so on. The theory is that stimuli have individual dedicated neural paths in the visual cortex for the early stages of visual processing, repetitive stimulation of only a few channels misleads the visual system.

Cognitive illusions Cognitive illusions are more interesting and well-known. Instead of demonstrating a physiological base they interact with different levels of perceptual processing, in-built assumptions or 'knowledge' are misdirected. Cognitive illusions are commonly divided into ambiguous illusions, distorting illusions, paradox illusions or fiction illusions. They often exploit the predictive hypotheses of early visual processing.

Ambiguous illusions Ambiguous illusions are pictures or objects that offer significant changes in appearance. Perception will 'switch' between the alternates as they are considered in turn as available data does not confirm a single view. The Necker cube is a well known example, the motion parallax due to movement is being misinterpreted, even in the face of other sensory data.

Distorting illusions Distorting illusions are the most common, these illusions offer distortions of size, length or curvature. They were simple to discover and are easily repeatable. Many are physiological illusions, such as the Cafe wall illusion which exploits the early visual system encoding for edges. Other distortions, such as coverging line illusions, are more difficult to place as physiological or cognitive as the depth-cue challenges they offer are not easily placed. All pictures that have perspective cues are in effect illusions. Visual judgements as to size are controlled by perspective or other depth-cues and can easily be wrongly set.

Paradox illusions Paradox illusions offer objects that are impossible or paradoxical, such as the Penrose triangle or impossible staircase seen, for example, in the work of M. C. Escher. The triangle is a illusion dependent on a cognitive misunderstanding that adjacent edges must join. They occur as a byproduct of perceptual learning.

Fiction illusions Fiction illusions are the perception of objects that are genuinely not there to all but a single observer, such as those induced by schizophrenia or hallucinogenic drugs.

Facts about Water

1) 70% of our body is filled with water.

2) Body water is regulated by hormones such as anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), aldosterone and atrial natriuretic peptide. Try to get the best drinking water possible. Check out some facts about the water you're drinking.


 Air is not completely clean, the food we eat may have insignificant amounts of toxic, the products that we use on our skin and hair are also toxic. Water removes the dangerous toxins that are added into our body. 


2. Water cushions our body joints. 


3. Water acts as a transport for oxygen and nutrition throughout the cells in the body. 


4. Water helps regulate body temperature. 


5. Water helps prevent blood pressure from dropping to critical levels. 


6. Water helps to defend against blood clots. 


7. Water encourages bowel movement. 


8. Water helps the normal kidney function from getting impaired. 


9. Water keeps us from getting excessively dry skin. 


10. Water lowers incidence of urinary tract infections. 


11. Water also helps us from experiencing reoccurring headaches. 


12. Water also helps alleviate fevers. 


13. Hydrotherapy is the therapeutic use of hot / cold water externally to problems. 


14. Hot water stimulates the immune system. 


15. Hot water is also used to increase the body's flow. Imagine coming home from a hard day's work and soaking yourself in a bathtub for an hour. When you get up, your body will feel more relaxed and stressed than before. Professional athletes will usually take a steam bath or relax in a whirlpool after a rigorous training session. 


16. Cold water reduces inflammation. Ice pack reduces swelling. 


17. A cold water sitz bath is used to treat constipation, irregular vaginal discharge, hemorrhoids. 


18. Spa treatments using alternating hot and cold water improve upper respiratory problems, congestion, foot infections, and headaches.

Largest diamond mine in the world

The mine was discovered on June 13, 1955 by Soviet geologists Yuri Khabardin, Ekaterina Elagina and Viktor Avdeenko during the large Amakinsky Expedition in Yakut ASSR. They found traces of volcanic rock kimberlite which are usually associated with diamonds. This finding was the first success in the search for kimberlite in Russia, after numerous failed expeditions of the 1940s and 1950s. For this discovery, in 1957 Khabardin was given the Lenin Prize, which was one of the highest awards in the Soviet Union.

 

The development of the mine had started in 1957 in extremely harsh climate conditions. Seven months of winter per year froze the ground into permafrost, which was hard in winter, but turned into sludge in summer. Buildings had to be raised on piles, so that they would not sink in summer, and the main processing plant had to be built on a better ground found 20 km away from the mine. The winter temperatures were so low that car tires and steel would shatter and oil would freeze. During the winter, the workers used jet engines to defreeze and dig out the permafrost or blasted it with dynamite to get access to the underlying kimberlite. The entire mine had to be covered at night to prevent the machinery from freezing.

In the 1960s the mine was producing 10,000,000 carats (2,000 kg) of diamond per year, of which a relatively high fraction (20%) were of gem quality. The upper layers of the mine (down to 340 meters) had very high diamond content of 4 carats (0.80 g) per tonne of ore, with the relatively high ratio of gems to industrial stones. The yield decreased to about 2 carats (0.40 g) per tonne and the production rate slowed to 2,000,000 carats (400 kg) per year near the pit bottom.
The largest diamond of the mine was found on 23 December 1980; it weighed 342.5 carats (68 g) and was named “26th Congress CPSU”. The mine operation was interrupted in 1990s at a depth of 340 m after the pit bottom became flooded but it eventually resumed.

 

525 meters deep, 1.2 kilo meters in diameter. The air zone within this mine is closed for helicopters - happened a few accidents when they were " pulled in" by downward air flow.

The red arrow in the above picture points to a regular 16 wheeler Industrial truck.
