FRACTAL PATTERNS IN DRIED OUT DESERT RIVERS.. TIPARE DE FRACTALI IN ALBIILE SECATE ALE RAURILOR

EN: FRACTAL PATTERNS IN DRIED OUT DESERT RIVERS

This incredible aerial photograph by Adrian Franco was selected as National Geographic’s Picture of the Day for April 9, 2012. In it we see the incredible fractal patterns rivers (now dried out) have made as they spread into the salt flats of the Baja California Desert in Mexico.

These patterns are nearly identical to the Lichtenberg Figures that result from an electrical discharge (e.g., scars from people struck by lightning have the exact same patterns).

RO: TIPARE DE FRACTALI IN ALBIILE SECATE ALE RAURILOR 

Aceasta fotografie facuta din avion de Adrian Franco a fost selectata de National Geografic drept fotografia zilei de 9 aprilie 2012. Putem vedea modele incredibile de fractali in albiile raurilor acum secate, asa cum se intindeau in campiile sarate din Desertul Baja California din Mexico.

Aceste tipare sunt aproape identice cu figurile lui Lichtenberg care rezulta din descarcari electrice (de exemplu, cicatricile oamenilor care au fost loviti de fulger arata de parca s-a folosit acelasi sablon ca in aceasta fotografie).
