  2. Rhizome manoeuvre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizome_Manoeuvre

    A rhizome manoeuvre is the application of an urban combat technique, that is performed by moving forces, and has been called a strategy of "walking through walls". [4] Conceptually, it treats the built environment as a flexible, almost liquid medium, forever-in-flux. [5]

  3. Doorway effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doorway_effect

    Procedure: Participants were seated about 0.67 meters from the display and instructed to pick up objects, move to the next table by walking across a large room (no shift) or through a doorway (shift), place the object on the table, pick up the next object, and so on. Picking up and placing objects was done by touching the table.

  4. Ladder paradox - Wikipedia

    Figure 1: A Minkowski diagram of the case where the ladder is stopped by impact with the back wall of the garage. The impact is event A. At impact, the garage frame sees the ladder as AB, but the ladder frame sees the ladder as AC. The ladder does not move out of the garage, so its front end now goes directly upward, through point E.

  5. Hydrodynamic quantum analogs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrodynamic_quantum_analogs

    These “walls” were regions of lower depth, where a walking droplet may be reflected away. When the walking droplets were allowed to move around in the domain, they usually were reflected away from the barriers. However, surprisingly, sometimes the walking droplet would bounce past the barrier, similar to a quantum particle undergoing tunneling.

  6. Chemin de ronde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemin_de_ronde

    A chemin de ronde (French, "round path"' or "patrol path"; French pronunciation: [ʃəmɛ̃ də ʁɔ̃d]), also called an allure, alure or, more prosaically, a wall-walk, is a raised protected walkway behind a castle battlement. [1] [2] In early fortifications, high castle walls were difficult to defend from the ground.

  7. Undulatory locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undulatory_locomotion

    Snakes primarily rely on undulatory locomotion to move through a wide range of environments. Undulatory locomotion is the type of motion characterized by wave-like movement patterns that act to propel an animal forward. Examples of this type of gait include crawling in snakes, or swimming in the lamprey. Although this is typically the type of ...

  8. Diffuse reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_reflection

    In this case, diffused rays will lose some wavelengths during their walk in the material, and will emerge colored. Diffusion affects the color of objects in a substantial manner because it determines the average path of light in the material, and hence to which extent the various wavelengths are absorbed. [ 6 ]

  9. Firewalking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewalking

    Firewalking is the act of walking barefoot over a bed of hot embers or stones. It has been practiced by many people and cultures in many parts of the world, with the earliest known reference dating from Iron Age India c. 1200 BCE. It is often used as a rite of passage, as a test of strength and courage, and in religion as a test of faith.
