Why do bulls pounce on red clothes?

As you know, bullfighting is the most famous sport in Spain and many other countries. Fans of these competitions have their own ideas about everything they see, and no one can convince them.

One of these beliefs is that everything red causes rage in the bull and prompts him to attack. That is why the participant in the fight with the bull holds in his hands a red cape, with which he masterfully handles.

But, believe me, he can hold both white, and yellow, and green matter - this does not matter to the bull: he does not distinguish colors!

Many matadors agree that they are aware of this. And some did special experiments, using white clothes instead of red - the bull behaved the same way.

So what motivates the bull to attack? These are the movements of the cape, not the color at all. Anything that hesitates before the bull excites him. And one more thing: since the bull does not distinguish colors, if you shake the white cape, you will cause a more violent reaction in him - because he will see it better.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

How are hedgehogs used to count ticks?

Hedgehogs collect more ticks for their quills than any other animal. The same spiny cover prevents hedgehogs from getting rid of ticks. Specialists-parasitologists even began to use hedgehogs for quantitative accounting of ticks in natural foci of encephalitis and introduced a special unit of account "hour-hour", meaning the number of ticks collected by a hedgehog on itself in one hour of running through the forest.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

New principle of X-ray generation 16.02.2021

X-rays, which are widely used in medicine, flaw detection and many other fields, are usually obtained using special vacuum devices called X-ray tubes. Inside these tubes, electrons are accelerated by a high electrical potential and collide with a metal anode. The energy of accelerated electrons is transferred to the metal atoms, which pass into an excited state, a complex oscillatory process occurs that generates a radiation flux in the X-ray range.

Unfortunately, the generated radiation flux spreads uniformly in all directions, and the properties of X-rays greatly complicate the task of focusing them and forming a narrow directional beam; moreover, the X-ray pulse front in most cases has an absolutely random shape.

However, physicists from the University of Göttingen have developed a new principle for generating X-rays, which allows you to get a beam directed in a strictly specified direction.

The new technology is based on a structure of three materials with completely different electronic characteristics. And the thickness of such a three-layer "sandwich" is only a few millionths of a millimeter.

An object made from such a thin layered material is placed in place of a metal anode in a conventional X-ray tube. X-ray parameters can be controlled at the stage of production of a multilayer anode by changing the order of alternation and thickness of layers of different materials.
