Auditory Illusions

clipper's remarks: visit the site! I've never heard something so perfect, and the headphones are recommended for the best effect. Simply great!

Auditory Illusions : Holophonic Sound

These super clear audio files are called holophony (holophonic sound recordings) and are designed to be listened to with headphones for the best effect. They have been recorded with a dummy head that has two microphones, one in each ear. The shape of the head and ears are designed to be similar to a human head to most closely replicate real human hearing. It’s pretty incredible.

Grab your headphones and have a listen. While the content itself isn’t that engaging, the sound effects will probably have you listening a second time.

largest open diamond mine in the world. at 525 metres deep with a top diameter of 1200 metres there’s even a no-fly zone above the hole due to a few helicopters being sucked in.

red arrow

huge truck

kimberley big hole - south africa

this 1097 metre deep mine yielded over 3 tonnes of diamonds before being closed in 1914.

earth removed by workers is estimated to total 22.5 million tonnes

glory hole - monticello dam

used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the resevoir

bingham canyon mine, utah

supposedly the largest man-made excavation on earth

the hole is 3/4 mile deep and 2.5 miles wide

great blue hole, belize

‘geographical phenomenon’ known as a blue hole

1/4 mile wide, the depth in the middle reaching 145 metres. obviously the hole is a huge hit with divers

diavik mine, canada

it even has its own airport

when water (usually rainwater or sewage) is soaked up by the earth on a large scale, resulting in the ground collapsing

Historic Figures That Were Celibate

clipper's remarks: He spent years inventing things he never got credit for, like the light bulb and radio, and even believed he could control the weather. He also felt that sex was a drain on creativity and completely pushed aside any woman that was interested in him. Sarah Bernhardt, a famous actress, tried her hardest to woo him but he considered her to be little more than a distraction from inventing a death ray. When asked about marriage, he replied: “I do not think you can name many great inventions that have been made by married men.”

6 ) Sir Isaac Newton

he was famous for his violent anger towards those he felt had spited him. He spent years hounding Gottfried Leibniz over the discovery of calculus. He kept a list of all the sins he had committed in his life and it included such horrible things like: “Making pies on Sunday night”, “squirting water”, and “peevishness.”

5 ) Søren Kierkegaard

he considered sex to be an abomination. It may have had to do with a girlfriend he once had: he was briefly engaged until he broke it off but never got over her. He spent the rest of his years trying to win her back through indirect communication and his writings.

2 ) Mohandas Gandhi

Gandhi was married and had children but decided to put the kibosh on that in his 30s so he could control his “vital fluids.” He would have panic attacks after waking up from nocturnal emissions and would often test his celibacy in the most Hugh Hefner of ways: he’d get young women to massage him and spend the night with him in the nude.

A Wooden Mirror

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 10:28:45 GMT

clipped by: tanjazaric

Clip Source: www.environmentalgraffiti.com

Interactive artist, Danny Rozen, has done just this, creating a mirror out of 830 wood blocks - but would you put one on your wall?

a tiny camera gathers light and shape data, before sending it to a computer that processes it and uses hundreds of tiny electric motors to shift the wood blocks into the image in front of the device. Subtle gradations of shade are achieved by both the natural grain of the wood and the angle at which they are displayed, casting shadow if necessary.

The result is a sort of ghostly image, imprinted upon the wooden pixels like a haunted trace and just like a real mirror the image moves in real time

By using a naturally unreflective surface to create reflections, Rozen highlights not only the human beings incredible capacity for technical accomplishment, but the fact that every object in the world might reflect, in some sense, the image of those who have crafted, used and sold it.

The House That Always Faces The Sun

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 10:19:12 GMT

clipped by: tanjazaric

Clip Source: deputy-dog.com

it’s surprising that there’s so little (english) information available about this house as it seems to be such a piece of engineering brilliance and a building which, when designed, was way ahead of its time. it was built and lived in by an italian ship engineer by the name of angelo invernizzi (along with assistance from architect ettore fagiuoli) between the years of 1929 & 1935 and can still be found in marcellise, italy.

the top half of the building rotates around the centre of the circluar track on which it rests (which happens to form the roof of the lower, static half of the building), much like the hands of a clock

the ‘tower’ which forms the pivot is 43 metres tall and the power needed to move the structure is generated by 2 motors (3 horsepower in total): a full revolution of the 1′500ton building would take just over 9hrs, travelling at a speed of 4mm per second, unless of course the rotation was delibrately slowed.

the house is called ‘il girasole’ - the sunflower

Abandoned Castles Of Russian Countryside

clipper's remarks: designed by the forgotten architect Boitzov

Clip Source: www.darkroastedblend.com

Apparently some Russian architects of the 19th century visited Europe often enough to be influenced by medieval castles and French-style palaces. Among them was architect P. S. Boitzov, who built a number of fancy castle-like mansions in Moscow area:

1.Muromtzevo Masion

One Boitzov's wealthy client, V. Khrapovitzky, decided to erect a real thing instead of poor imitations.

so Boitzov had to come up with the authentic French-style palace

Today

2. Beautiful Uspenskoe Mansion

One of the last owners of this castle was Sergei Morozov, who allowed many prominent Russian painters (including Levitan) to live in this house.

3. English-style Vasilievskoe

4. Eltzin's Retreat Area

neo-gothic castle-like mansion

it's being restored (to the tune of 250 million dollars) into Podushkino Castle

All these mansions were designed by vastly underrated and essentially forgotten architect P. S. Boitzov

Architectural Genious Of Antoni Gaudí

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:47:05 GMT

clipped by: tanjazaric

Clip Source: www.darkroastedblend.com

Barcelona has become Gaudí's city, which is ironic since Gaudí didn’t start out as the city’s cultural icon. Far from it: for a long time his only real supporter was the very-rich Eusebi Güell. It was only much later that the city, and Gaudí's critics, finally began to understand what he was doing.

Melting Cathedrals & Fairytale Houses

Park Güell

Casa Milà (aka La Pedrera)

The Unfinished Cathedral

By the time he began working on the Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família, Gaudí was a legend but by his 40th year of working on it, both Barcelona and Gaudí had fallen on hard times.

Gaudí never saw the Sagrada Família finished. In fact no one has because, to this day, it’s still a work in progress. When Gaudí died in 1926, after being hit by a streetcar no less, the Sagrada Família had only just begun to show its potential.

Water on the Web - Nature's Jewelry

The thread that spiders produce come from glands called spinnerets. There are, so far, seven different types of spinnerets that have been identified and each one has a separate purpose. Each type of spider will possess a few of these spinneret glands, but there has never been a recorded case of a spider having all seven types!

There are sheet webs, like this one - with the spooky “black” hole at the center! -

Then, there are funnel and tubular webs

Sometimes, many spiders will build webs together.
