Reny Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 http://www.subversiveelement.com/Rods.html Well, is this little creature really exits? Or is just a fake?
Ophiolite Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 I think this thread might be more at home in pseudo-science.
syntax252 Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 Never trust a web site that doesn't know the difference between "to" and "too."
ecoli Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 sounds like light is be refracted by dust particles, and being picked up by camera's as images.
Mokele Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 They're just insects. Because they're moving so much faster than the frame-rate of the camera, you get those images. Each of the "wings" is a wingbeat of the insect. In fact, if you note that most have 4 "wings", and most home video cameras have a rate of 30 frames/second. This gives us 120 wingbeats/sec, which is about average for most fast-flying insects.
mustang292 Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 Mokele is right, I watched a documentary that proved they were just ordinary flying insects stretched out by the camera's rate of frame.
Sayonara Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 So it turned out to be biology after all, and everyone was really happy.
