A few days ago, a very spectacular scene appeared in the sky in Haikou, Hainan. I saw a mirage appearing in the sky in the distance. The outlines of the buildings inside were scattered and clear. The building complex shrouded in smoke was like a connected heavenly palace, like a dream.
Mirages actually appear quite frequently, and even appear every once in a while. Stretching mountains appeared on the seaside of Zhanjiang City on July 6, and at the end of June, two large pillars loomed in the sky of Zhoushan Flower Island. Some people jokingly called them the two pillars of the Nantianmen. In the same month, traces of mirages also appeared in the Kumuta Desert. A lake with sparkling waves and microwaves actually appeared on the desolate Gobi Desert.
Scientific explanation of mirages
Almost all natural celestial phenomena, including the blood moon , have been scientifically explained, and the cause of the formation of mirages is no longer a secret. It is nothing more than a natural phenomenon formed by the refraction and total reflection of light .
Due to differences in air humidity and density on the ground, light will have different refractive indexes in air of different densities. When the light reflected by objects on the ground is refracted by the atmosphere, a virtual image will be formed. This virtual image is a mirage .
But doubts about mirages have never stopped, because experts believe that the original scenery of mirages comes from reality, so it is certain that all mirages can find their counterparts in reality.
However, it is not easy to find the counterpart of , and many netizens swear that ancient people, ancient buildings and even heavenly soldiers and generals appear in some mirages. , and there are more mirages appearing in ancient buildings.
Do mirages prefer ancient people more, or is there something unexplainable behind science, or does time and space exist intertwined?
For example, in 1988, a special mirage appeared on the sea in Penglai, Shandong Province. The 6-hour mirage was witnessed by countless people. A large number of soldiers lined up, their flags spread out to cover the sky, as if they were rushing to the battlefield. It is said that there were no movies shooting similar scenes at that time. Several of my country's film and television masterpieces were shot after 1990. " Romance of the Three Kingdoms " was shot in 1994. The war scenes in it are majestic and magnificent, but obviously the time does not match.
In related records of mirages, in 1954, a mirage over the Aegean Sea appeared in a mirage with scenes of ancient battlefields Vikings fighting. In reality, there was also no similar film crew. The two mirages had no real counterpart, which really opened up some people's imaginations.
Is there a parallel time and space? We still haven't been able to completely reveal the real scene of this world. Maybe there are countless parallel worlds, and only when time and space intersect, they happen to appear in the form of a mirage?
However, there is currently no detailed scientific theoretical support, so this statement is not reliable.
In fact, mirages have appeared many times in history, but the ancients treated them as a fairyland due to lack of knowledge. Song Dynasty Shen Kuo recorded in " Meng Xi Bi Tan ": " There are clouds in the sea of Dengzhou from time to time, which can be seen as palaces, terraces, figures on the battlements, chariots and horses crowns."
Palaces, cities, and bustling traffic, These scenes are no different from some of today's mirages, except that those palaces are undoubtedly ancient buildings. If the ancients preserved them through paintings, there would be modern high-rise buildings, cars, and even wind power generation in the mirages. Machine , then the modern scientific explanation of mirages will undoubtedly have to be completely revised.
Unfortunately, such a thing did not happen, and the probability of finding the corresponding real object in the mirage is very high. For example, in the mirage that appeared in Xingtai , the appearance of an ancient attic is very clear, but in reality it is a pavilion in a park somewhere.
But this statement is also doubtful, because the pavilion is limited in size. Even if light is refracted, is just an inconspicuous pavilion instead of including all the surrounding buildings. Does light still choose the refracted object? ?
This is not the case. The place where mirages appear is not fixed. As long as certain conditions are met, they may appear in the ocean, rivers and lakes, cities or deserts.
Everyone knows that the object we see in the water glass is not its real position. After the refraction of light, the imaging position of the object is a certain distance from the real position, and the refraction of natural light in the atmosphere is much more complicated.
If the air humidity in a certain space on the sea is relatively high and the thickness is relatively large, the water vapor will form a huge lens system by mistake. After the density difference is formed on the ground from bottom to top, the light will easily undergo refraction and total reflection. Virtual image.
In short, mirages are nothing new in nature, and their counterparts can basically be found.
Even if we know the scientific principles, humans still cannot create mirages. We must know that human beings have amazing creative capabilities and have made many great inventions; the complexity is far beyond that of a mirage. Perhaps human beings still do not have enough understanding of time and space, and perhaps more mysteries can be solved in the future.
