Focus Description:

In his hand is a cardboard card depicting a domino chip. The viewer sees that it is "empty - one". You turn over the card - on the other side it shows the combination "empty - four". You turn the card over again, and instead of "blank - one", the audience sees a combination of "blank - three". A new turn, and instead of "empty - four" in front of them is a combination of "empty - six"!

Focus secret:

The focus is based on the fact that the viewer involuntarily conjectures what he does not see.

Make a domino card with two points on one side and five on the other. They are located as shown in the figure (front and back sides). The dots should be of such a size that they can be covered with a finger.

Focus Transforming Dominoes

First, you show the side of the card where there are two dots by covering one of them with your finger. The unsuspecting viewer sees that it is "empty - one". In the same way, you turn "five" into "four".

The third time you cover the empty space with your finger. There are only two dots in front of the viewer, but in his head he has the usual image of the "empty - three" chip, and he "sees" the missing third dot under your finger. The same thing happens when you close an empty space on an image with five dots - here the six is "read" by itself.

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 ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

coffee protects the heart 04.07.2018

Four cups of coffee a day can help reduce the risk of a heart attack and help you recover faster from a heart attack. Caffeine also protects against type XNUMX diabetes and other heart diseases. Scientists from the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (Germany) conducted a study on mice, which helped to explain the reason for such a beneficial effect.

During the study, for ten days, scientists added to the drinking water of a group of mice an amount of coffee that corresponds to four cups per day for a person. They then artificially induced a heart attack in the rodents. Damaged myocardial cells in mice that received caffeine recovered better from an attack than those of mice that drank plain water.

The healing property of coffee is explained by the fact that caffeine stimulates the work of the p27 protein in the mitochondria - the "energy station" of the cell. Activating p27 in mitochondria increases the organelle's energy production, and this helps myocardial cells repair after damage, the team has shown. Humans and other animals also have the p27 protein, raising the possibility that caffeine may be good for the human heart as well. Normally, p27 controls cell division and suppresses the development of tumors. Its energetic role in mitochondria was not previously known.

The discovery goes against the grain of doctors' belief that coffee is contraindicated for people with heart disease, so it still needs to be scrutinized. In addition, researchers from a German university warn that frequent coffee consumption alone - without exercise and proper nutrition - will not bring many benefits and may cause health problems.
