A Bionic Camera Inspired by Insects

Image
Bionic Camera Inspired by Insects Every insect eye consists of lots of small units called facets. Each facet is comprised of lens, pigment, and photoreceptors. The lens is mounted on a transparent crystalline cone that allows the light to reach the photoreceptors. Black pigment isolates facets from each other and screens out background light. The hemispherical shape allows extremely wide-angle fields of view, and the other advantage of this design is that it has incredible depth of view, which keeps objects focused despite the distance from the camera. John Rogers, a physical chemist and materials engineer at the  University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign  and leader of the research, said “We think of the insect world as an inspiration for design, but we’re not constrained by it… It’s not bio-mimicry; it’s bio-inspiration.” In these artificial insect eyes the tiny lenses are located on top of columns based on a flexible membrane – all made from elastic polymer also

It is sometimes known as the Brahma Astra (astra referring to 'missile weapon'). As described in a number of the Puranas, Brahmastra is considered to be the very deadliest of weapons. When a Brahmastra is discharged, neither a counterattack nor a defense of any kind can stop it. A self-guided missile with sophisticated artificial intelligence,  powerful  nonetheless classified as weapons of mass destruction, capable of destroying everything  with a highly focused antimatter explosion. The Brahmastra never misses its mark and must be used with very specific intent against an enemy, whether an individual or army, as the target will face

Miraculous UFO Sighting in Marmora

Yaphet Kotto writes about the owner of a farm in Canada where 30,000 have traveled in homage to true believers,  in his brand new novel ”I don’t want to be told I’m seeing things”  He asserts firmly that the miraculous “Miracle of the sun that occurred for 14 years and continue to take place was in fact a UFO sighting.. The farm, located in Marmora, Ontario, about 120 miles east of Toronto, has been the site of numerous claims since 1991, when phenomena erupted during a reunion of those who had journeyed to the famous apparition site of Medjugorje in former Yugoslavia. The farm was owned by John Greensides, who died several years back, and his wife, Shelagh, 80, who is in the process of turning the land over to Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate. Yaphet reports that the local diocese based in Kingston has refused to offer an official comment on the site, according to a diocesan spokesman, although a warning was issued from a bishop during the 1990s on the potent
