    The shape of the train also allows it to travel 10 percent faster with about 15 percent less electricity. ... By continually reaching for and grabbing objects, it works out which muscles to move ...

  3. Faster-than-light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light

    Similarly, a shadow projected onto a distant object seems to move across the object faster than c. [6] In neither case does the light travel from the source to the object faster than c, nor does any information travel faster than light. No object is moving in these examples.

  4. Tachyon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon

    A spaceship departs from Earth from A to C slower than light. At B, Earth emits a tachyon, which travels faster than light but forward in time in Earth's reference frame. It reaches the spaceship at C. The spaceship then sends another tachyon back to Earth from C to D. This tachyon also travels forward in time in the spaceship's reference frame.

  5. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    A transparency of 50 percent is enough to make an animal invisible to a predator such as cod at a depth of 650 metres (2,130 ft); better transparency is required for invisibility in shallower water, where the light is brighter and predators can see better. For example, a cod can see prey that are 98 percent transparent in optimal lighting in ...

    English: Spacetime diagram showing that moving faster than light implies time travel in the context of special relativity. A spaceship departs from Earth from A to C slower than light. At B, Earth emits a tachyon, particle that travels faster than light but forward in time in Earth's reference frame. It reaches the spaceship at C.

    Time can appear to move faster or slower to us relative to others in a different part of space-time. That means astronauts on the International Space Station age slower than people on Earth.

  8. Subsurface scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsurface_scattering

    Real-world subsurface scattering of light in a photograph of a human hand Computer-generated subsurface scattering in Blender. Subsurface scattering (SSS), also known as subsurface light transport (SSLT), [1] is a mechanism of light transport in which light that penetrates the surface of a translucent object is scattered by interacting with the material and exits the surface potentially at a ...

  9. Structured-light 3D scanner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured-light_3D_scanner

    A recent method handles highly reflective and specular objects by inserting a 1-dimensional diffuser between the light source (e.g., projector) and the object to be scanned. [4] Alternative optical techniques have been proposed for handling perfectly transparent and specular objects. [5]
