The incredible Edwin Land: the quest for non-glare headlights |
|
This site is for curious people who want to look at the generally invisible world of polarized light. Polarization is present in the rainbow, in the hidden color of minerals, in the dance of honeybees, in the flow of molten metal, in the color of beetles, and the gloss of tree leaves at dawn. Polarization is used for fishing, to measure sweetness, to tell the time, to create multicolored art, and to reproduce music. It is one of the fundamental properties of nature and one of the most useful tools for probing the boundaries of scientific knowledge. But it is also readily accessible to the amateur with inexpensive polarizing filters. Let's all acquire P-Vision! |
So, look around, explore and enjoy !!!!
