Doppler Quotes

…I don’t wish to meet people. They disgust me. Increasingly so. But I must have milk.

There is another physical law that teases me, too: the Doppler Effect. The sound of anything coming at you- a train, say, or the future- has a higher pitch than the sound of the same thing going away. If you have perfect pitch and a head for mathematics you can compute the speed of the object by the interval between its arriving and departing sounds. I have neither perfect pitch nor a head for mathematics, and anyway who wants to compute the speed of history? Like all falling bodies, it constantly accelerates. But I would like to hear your life as you heard it, coming at you, instead of hearing it as I do, a somber sound of expectations reduced, desires blunted, hopes deferred or abandoned, chances lost, defeats accepted, griefs borne.

One problem with people is that as soon as they fill a space it's them you see and not the space. Large, desolate landscapes stop being large, desolate landscapes once they have people in them. They define what the eye sees. And the human eye is almost always directed at other humans. In this way an illusion is created that humans are more important than those things on earth which are not human. It's a sick illusion.

Everything which is human is alien to me.

We need to develop a better descriptive vocabulary for lying, a taxonomy, a way to distinguish intentional lies from unintentional ones, and a way to distinguish the lies that the liar himself believes in – a way to signal those lies that could be more accurately described as dreams. Lies – they make for a tidy little psychological Doppler effect, tell us more about a liar than an undistorted self-report ever could.

Fuck the weather forecasters and their predictions. With magic, he’d just turned their Doppler radar upside down. Sapphire Phelan (Being Familiar With a Witch)

yok aşk değil, uyuşmak, anlaşmak, bütün o boktan şeyler değil. yok yok aşk değil, aşk hiç değil. onun bir sözcüğüyle yaşamımda yer alan her şeyi çöpe atmak isterdim. gelgelelim aşk değil bu, aşk hiç değil. bir şey arayan bir kadının aradığı şeyle karşılaştığında kendine iskambillerden kurduğu bir hayatın yıkılması gibi bir şey bu. Doppler etkisi.. ona yaklaşarak yok oldum.

But I would rather have snow. Snow is the on.y weather I really like. Nothing makes me less grumpy than snow. I can sit by a window for hours watching it fall. The silence of snowfall. You can use that. It's best when there's background lighting, for example a street lamp. Or when you go outside and let it flutter down on you. That's real riches, that is.

If Henry Adams, whom you knew slightly, could make a theory of history by applying the second law of thermodynamics to human affairs, I ought to be entitled to base one on the angle of repose, and may yet. There is another physical law that teases me, too: the Doppler Effect. The sound of anything coming at you -- a train, say, or the future -- has a higher pitch than the sound of the same thing going away. If you have perfect pitch and a head for mathematics you can compute the speed of the object by the interval between its arriving and departing sounds. I have neither perfect pitch nor a head for mathematics, and anyway who wants to compute the speed of history? Like all falling bodies, it constantly accelerates. But I would like to hear your life as you heard it, coming at you, instead of hearing it as I do, a sober sound of expectations reduced, desires blunted, hopes deferred or abandoned, chances lost, defeats accepted, griefs borne. I don't find your life uninteresting, as Rodman does. I would like to hear it as it sounded while it was passing. Having no future of my own, why shouldn't I look forward to yours.

The Doppler Effect of Communication”: There is always distortion between what a speaker says and what a listener wants it to mean. “The Centrifugal Force of Arguments”: The farther you move from the core of the problem, the faster the situation spins out of control.

We're born alone and we die alone. It's just a question of getting used to both of them.

I feel alone, I've always felt alone and I push everyone away because I'm a prat like everyone else, and no one knows me and I fear no on one will ever know men for as long as I live, and I give up and in the end I just shout shit, shit, shit until I lose my voice.

I am you,’ he repeated. ‘No,’ the Witcher countered, ‘you are not. And do you know why? Because you’re a poor, little, good-natured doppler. A doppler who, after all, could have killed Biberveldt and buried his body in the undergrowth, by so doing gaining total safety and utter certainty that he would not be unmasked, ever, by anybody, including the halfling’s spouse, the famous Gardenia Biberveldt. But you didn’t kill him, Tellico, because you didn’t have the courage. Because you’re a poor, little, good-natured doppler, whose close friends call him Dudu. And whoever you might change into you’ll always be the same. You only know how to copy what is good in us, because you don’t understand the bad in us. That’s what you are, doppler.

Were we dealing with a spectrum-based system that described male and female sexuality with equal accuracy, data taken from gay males would look similar to data taken from straight females—and yet this is not what we see in practice. Instead, the data associated with gay male sexuality presents a mirror image of data associated with straight males: Most gay men are as likely to find the female form aversive as straight men are likely to find the male form aversive. In gay females we observe a similar phenomenon, in which they mirror straight females instead of appearing in the same position on the spectrum as straight men—in other words, gay women are just as unlikely to find the male form aversive as straight females are to find the female form aversive. Some of the research highlighting these trends has been conducted with technology like laser doppler imaging (LDI), which measures genital blood flow when individuals are presented with pornographic images. The findings can, therefore, not be written off as a product of men lying to hide middling positions on the Kinsey scale due to a higher social stigma against what is thought of in the vernacular as male bisexuality/pansexuality. We should, however, note that laser Doppler imaging systems are hardly perfect, especially when measuring arousal in females. It is difficult to attribute these patterns to socialization, as they are observed across cultures and even within the earliest of gay communities that emerged in America, which had to overcome a huge amount of systemic oppression to exist. It’s a little crazy to argue that the socially oppressed sexuality of the early American gay community was largely a product of socialization given how much they had overcome just to come out. If, however, one works off the assumptions of our model, this pattern makes perfect sense. There must be a stage in male brain development that determines which set of gendered stimuli is dominant, then applies a negative modifier to stimuli associated with other genders. This stage does not apparently take place during female sexual development. 

Ella isn't like other little girls. She's inquisitive and curious, with a heart that senses others' emotions with the precision of Doppler radar. She drops coins from her piggy bank into the outstretched hands of the homeless in Times Square, frets over the plight of hurt animals on the roadside, and two Christmases ago, organized a coat drive at her school when she saw a little boy shivering on the playground.

And how much of a difference can it make really, just one story, even all these stories taken together and funneled into the ear of the busy world—a world moving so quickly that voices and sounds Doppler into a rising whine, so distracted that even when your attention snags on the burr of something unusual, you are dragged away before you can see it, uprooting it like a bee’s spent stinger. It is hard for anything to be heard and even if anyone hears it, how much of a difference could it really make, what change could it possibly bring, just these words, just this thing that happened once to one person that the listener does not and will never know. It is just a story. It is only words. She does not know

Jorden tilhører ikke mennesket. Det er menneskene, der tilhører Jorden. De duftende blomster er vore søstre, og hesten, den mægtige ørn, for ikke at tale om elgen, er vore brødre. Og hvordan kan man købe eller sælge noget som helst? For hvem ejer varmen i luften eller lyden af vinden i træerne? Og saften i grenene bærer erindringen om dem, der har levet før os. Og lyden af bækkens mumlen er er vores forfaders stemme. Og vi må lære vores børn, at jorden under deres fødder er forfædrenes akse, og at alt, hvad der overgår Jorden også overgår os, og hvis mennesket spytter på jorden, spytter det på sig selv.

Osim toga, svet je mali. Ponekad se stvari sklope na najslađi način. Drugi put se sklope na manje slatke načine, ili se ne sklope uopšte.

Sound and light, Doppler argued, behaved according to universal and natural laws-even if these were deeply counterintuitive to ordinary viewers or listeners. Indeed, if you looked carefully, all the chaotic and complex phenomena of the world were the result of highly organized natural laws. But more commonly, a profoundly artificial ecperiment-loading trumpeters on a speeding train-might be necessary to understand and demonstrate these laws.

Uzaklarda bir yerde, başka bir şeyleri temsil eden zekice bir yaşam bulunduğu gerçeğine yüreğimi açmalıyım. Bu başkalarına rastlayana kadar dolanmaya devam edeceğim. Ya da böyle bir şey olmadığından adım gibi emin olana kadar.

There have been applied sciences throughout the ages. ... However this so-called practice was not much more than paper in nearly all of these cases, and the various applied sciences were only lacking a bagatelle, namely proper scientific practice. The applied sciences show the application of theoretic doctrines in existing events; but that is precisely what it does, it merely shows. Whereas the scientific practice autonomously puts to use these theories.

Rome, yes, I say, thinking in quick succession of the Pantheon, the Colosseum and the cardinals screwing around while wondering whether women have souls or not, and of Nero, of course, who killed his closest family and let the city burn. I don't reckon he liked people, either.

* ad fakt, že Doppler běží jako blázen Bystrý čtenář možná podotkne, že si Doppler před celkem nedávnou dobou vymkl kotník, von Borring ho musel při vstupu do domu podpírat atd., tak jak najednou může běžet jako blázen? Bohužel nemám (já, autor tohoto textu) na tuto otázku vhodnou odpověď. Popravdě řečeno jsem na to nejspíš zapomněl, ale když jsem si kvůli tomu text nyní znovu pročetl, uvědomil jsem si, že bych zde mohl být nařčen z nekonsekventnosti a z toho, že okamžitě zapomínám na své nápady, jakmile se objeví nové. O takové kritice budu přemýšlet.

I’ve been thinking about what you said yesterday, he says. About my unique qualities and talents and all that. You’re right. I am unique and talented. And you’re unique, too. We’re both unique. Everyone is unique. In a way, I say. But unique just means unique. It doesn’t mean good.

Everyone who said it was coming didn't have the privilege of being born blindfolded, but their words were always quieter than sight, anyways. Is there a greater horror than always being proven right? If tomorrow always shows up yesterday for those that cannot see, are prophets then vehicles of the future? Or do they just see now as it is? The Doppler Effect of Ignorance destroys sequentiality. But we always show up today, whether we were a day late or not, to revel in the horrors that await us. Only the rationalists can watch the world burn with a smile on their face, a smile that no one else can see.

Hubble then made an even more amazing discovery. By measuring the red shift of the stars’ spectra (which is the light wave counterpart to the Doppler effect for sound waves), he realized that the galaxies were moving away from us. There were at least two possible explanations for the fact that distant stars in all directions seemed to be flying away from us: (1) because we are the center of the universe, something that since the time of Copernicus only our teenage children believe; (2) because the entire metric of the universe was expanding, which meant that everything was stretching out in all directions so that all galaxies were getting farther away from one another. It became clear that the second explanation was the case when Hubble confirmed that, in general, the galaxies were moving away from us at a speed that was proportional to their distance from us. Those twice as far moved away twice as fast, and those three times as far moved away three times as fast. One way to understand this is to imagine a grid of dots that are each spaced an inch apart on the elastic surface of a balloon. Then assume that the balloon is inflated so that the surface expands to twice its original dimensions. The dots are now two inches away from each other. So during the expansion, a dot that was originally one inch away moved another one inch away. And during that same time period, a dot that was originally two inches away moved another two inches away, one that was three inches away moved another three inches away, and one that was ten inches away moved another ten inches away. The farther away each dot was originally, the faster it receded from our dot. And that would be true from the vantage point of each and every dot on the balloon. All of which is a simple way to say that the galaxies are not merely flying away from us, but instead, the entire metric of space, or the fabric of the cosmos, is expanding. To envision this in 3-D, imagine that the dots are raisins in a cake that is baking and expanding in all directions. On

In 1945, former MIT dean Vannevar Bush, who oversaw U.S. military science during World War II—including the mass production of penicillin and the Manhattan Project—authored a report at the request of President Franklin Roosevelt in which he explained successful innovation culture. It was titled “Science, the Endless Frontier,” and led to the creation of the National Science Foundation that funded three generations of wildly successful scientific discovery, from Doppler radar and fiber optics to web browsers and MRIs. “Scientific progress on a broad front results from the free play of free intellects, working on subjects of their own choice,” Bush wrote, “in the manner dictated by their curiosity for exploration of the unknown.

Sometimes when the sun is shining through the clouds, I like to the park and look up at the sky, after a while I imagine that I am flying, and sometimes when I try hard I am able to fly through some of the hoops in the clouds. When I manage to successfully do this, I like to create a trophy cabinet in my mind, and each time I award my self a small keepsake, a little moment of achievement for my self.

had said, in effect: “Okay, if you can figure out the tilt, you can figure out any damn thing you choose. Because even light has weight, and when the note of a trainwhistle suddenly drops it’s the Doppler effect and when an airplane breaks the sound barrier that bang isn’t the applause of the angels or the flatulence of demons but only air collapsing back into place. I gave you the tilt and then I sat back about halfway up the auditorium to watch the show. I got nothing else to say, except that two and two makes four, the lights in the sky are stars, if there’s blood grownups can see it as well as kids, and dead boys stay dead.” You can live with fear, I think, Stan would have said if he could. Maybe not forever, but for a long, long time. It’s offense you maybe can’t live with, because it opens up a crack inside your thinking, and if you look down into it you see there are live things down there, and they have little yellow eyes that don’t blink, and there’s a stink down in that dark, and after awhile you think maybe there’s a whole other universe down there, a universe where a square moon rises in the sky, and the stars laugh in cold voices, and some of the triangles have four sides, and some have five, and some of them have five raised to the fifth power of sides. In this universe there might grow roses which sing. Everything leads to everything, he would have told them if he could. Go to your church and listen to your stories about Jesus walking on the water, but if I saw a guy doing that I’d scream and scream and scream. Because it wouldn’t look like a miracle to me. It would look like an offense.

For his part, Jazz knew he was handsome. It had nothing to do with looking in the mirror, which he rarely did. It had everything to do with the way the girls at school looked at him, the way they became satellites when he walked by, their orbits contorted by his own mysterious gravity. If attention could be measured like the Doppler effect, girls would show a massive blue shift in his presence. In the last year or so, he had even remarked the scrutiny of older women—teachers, cashiers at stores, the woman who delivered UPS packages to his house. What had once been a maternal flavor in their glances had taken on a lingering, cool sort of appraisal. He could almost hear them thinking, Not yet. But soon. Despite his upbringing, despite the infamy of his father, they still watched him. Or maybe because of it. Maybe Howie was right about bad boys.

All the same, there were things that were not supposed to be. They offended any sane person's sense of order, they offended the central idea that God had given the earth a final tilt on its axis so that twilight would only last about twelve minutes at the equator and linger for an hour or more up where the Eskimos built their ice-cube houses, that He had done that and He then had said, in effect: "Okay, if you can figure out the tilt, you can figure out any damn thing you choose. Because even light has weight, and when the note of a trainwhistle suddenly drops it's the Doppler effect and when an airplane breaks the sound barrier that bang isn't the applause of the angels or the flatulence of demons but only the air collapsing back into place.

I got nothing else to say, except that two and two makes four, the lights in the sky are stars, if there's blood grownups can see it as well as kids, and dead boys stay dead.

Among much else, Einstein’s general theory of relativity suggested that the universe must be either expanding or contracting. But Einstein was not a cosmologist, and he accepted the prevailing wisdom that the universe was fixed and eternal. More or less reflexively, he dropped into his equations something called the cosmological constant, which arbitrarily counterbalanced the effects of gravity, serving as a kind of mathematical pause button. Books on the history of science always forgive Einstein this lapse, but it was actually a fairly appalling piece of science and he knew it. He called it “the biggest blunder of my life.” Coincidentally, at about the time that Einstein was affixing a cosmological constant to his theory, at the Lowell Observatory in Arizona, an astronomer with the cheerily intergalactic name of Vesto Slipher (who was in fact from Indiana) was taking spectrographic readings of distant stars and discovering that they appeared to be moving away from us. The universe wasn’t static. The stars Slipher looked at showed unmistakable signs of a Doppler shift‖—the same mechanism behind that distinctive stretched-out yee-yummm sound cars make as they flash past on a racetrack. The phenomenon also applies to light, and in the case of receding galaxies it is known as a red shift (because

Then came a series of wondrous discoveries, beginning in 1924, by Edwin Hubble, a colorful and engaging astronomer working with the 100-inch reflector telescope at the Mount Wilson Observatory in the mountains above Pasadena, California. The first was that the blur known as the Andromeda nebula was actually another galaxy, about the size of our own, close to a million light years away (we now know it’s more than twice that far). Soon he was able to find at least two dozen even more distant galaxies (we now believe that there are more than 100 billion of them). Hubble then made an even more amazing discovery. By measuring the red shift of the stars’ spectra (which is the light wave counterpart to the Doppler effect for sound waves), he realized that the galaxies were moving away from us. There were at least two possible explanations for the fact that distant stars in all directions seemed to be flying away from us: (1) because we are the center of the universe, something that since the time of Copernicus only our teenage children believe; (2) because the entire metric of the universe was expanding, which meant that everything was stretching out in all directions so that all galaxies were getting farther away from one another. It became clear that the second explanation was the case when Hubble confirmed that, in general, the galaxies were moving away from us at a speed that was proportional to their distance from us. Those twice as far moved away twice as fast, and those three times as far moved away three times as fast.

A vážně hrozné je, že celkem zakrátko přijde Maj Britt na obláček k von Borringově matce na permanentní návštěvu, protože Maj Brittiny dny se už krátí, a přestože její vztah k Bohu je poněkud vlažný, bohatě stačí na to, aby byla Maj Britt vpuštěna do nebe, pochyby jí budou přičteny k dobru a bude umístěna na stejný obláček jako ostatní lidé z její obce, protože tak to v nebi chodí, respektují se tam hranice obcí, a jestliže von Borringově matce už teď připadá vyčerpávající tam sedět, dokážete si sami představit, v jaké peklo se jí pobyt promění po Maj Brittině příchodu. A ostatně: v rozporu s tím, v co, jak se zdá, věří mnoho křesťanů, to není tak, že by si s sebou člověk do nebe nesměl nic vzít. Jednu věci si totiž každý vzít může. Proto je třeba volit obezřetně. Von Borringova matka si vybrala truhlu s morfiem a Maj Britt si zvolí kamion marihuany. Diskuse mezi nimi budou duchaplné i iritující a budou probíhat opravdu dlouho předlouho.)

In order to avoid the deafening of conspecifics, some bats employ a jamming avoidance response, rapidly shifting frequencies or flying silent when foraging near conspecifics. Because jamming is a problem facing any active emission sensory system, it is perhaps not surprising (though no less amazing) that similar jamming avoidance responses are deployed by weakly electric fish. The speed of sound is so fast in water that it makes it difficult for echolocating whales to exploit similar Doppler effects. However, the fact that acoustic emissions propagate much farther and faster in the water medium means that there is less attenuation of ultrasound in water, and thus that echolocation can be used for broader-scale 'visual' sweeping of the undersea environment. These constraints and trade-offs must be resolved by all acoustic ISMs, on Earth and beyond. There are equally universal anatomical and metabolic constraints on the evolvability of echolocation that explain why it is 'harder' to evolve than vision. First, as noted earlier, a powerful sound-production capacity, such as the lungs of tetrapods, is required to produce high-frequency emissions capable of supporting high-resolution acoustic imaging. Second, the costs of echolocation are high, which may limit acoustic imaging to organisms with high-metabolisms, such as mammals and birds. The metabolic rates of bats during echolocation, for instance, are up to five times greater than they are at rest. These costs have been offset in bats through the evolutionarily ingenious coupling of sound emission to wing-beat cycle, which functions as a single unit of biomechanical and metabolic efficiency. Sound emission is coupled with the upstroke phase of the wing-beat cycle, coinciding with contraction of abdominal muscles and pressure on the diaphragm. This significantly reduces the price of high-intensity pulse emission, making it nearly costless. It is also why, as any careful crepuscular observer may have noticed, bats spend hardly any time gliding (which is otherwise a more efficient means of flight).

SAMPLING OF SOME OF THE MAJOR TRIAL RESULTS WITH EDTA CHELATION A 1993analysis of 19 studies of 22,765 patients receiving EDTA chelation therapy for vascular disease found measurable improvement in 87%. A study of 2,870 patients with various degrees of degenerative diseases, especially vascular disease, almost 90% of the patients showed excellent improvement. The study measured walking distance, ECG, and Doppler blood flow changes. A small, blinded, crossover study of patients with peripheral vascular disease found significant improvements in walking distance and ankle/brachial blood flow. In 30 patients with carotid artery stenosis, there was a 30% improvement in blood flow after EDTA treatment. EDTA chelation treatment was evaluated in patients with carotid and coronary disease using technetium 99 isotope techniques. Significant improvement in arterial blood flow and ejection fraction (a measure of heart pumping ability) was reported. 65 patients on the waiting list for CABG surgery for an average of 6 months were treated with EDTA chelation therapy. The symptoms in 89% (58) improved so much they were able to cancel their surgery. In the same study, of 27 patients recommended for limb amputation due to poor peripheral circulation, EDTA chelation saved 24 limbs.

It is not only the theory of inflation that tells us we don't know all of the masses in the universe. In addition, there are observed facts that tell us the same. One of these is the chaotic motion of galaxies inside galaxy clusters. Galaxies don't appear singly, but rather inside such larger groupings. They are kept from escaping by the gravitational pull of the mass of the cluster. Individual galaxies move inside a cluster with velocities that are measurable by means of the Doppler effect. That's how we know these velocities to be so large that the gravity of the visible mass of the cluster does not suffices to hold the galaxies it contains together: Were there only the cluster's visible mass, its galaxies would have had to fly apart long ago. To keep all of them within the cluster, there must be about one hundred times more mass present than what is noticeable to us as visible matter.

To prove that the virus they’d isolated was killing boas and pythons, they’d first need to grow this ancient ancestor of Ebola in the lab, find some healthy boas and pythons, and then infect them with the virus. To inject a virus into an African python took some trouble. Snakes don’t have injectable veins. They do, perhaps surprisingly, have hearts, and that’s where the virus must be injected. Snake hearts don’t stay put, like human hearts, but travel up and down the snake’s body. To inject a snake’s heart with a virus requires two postdocs and one full professor: one to hold the snake in a death grip, one to use a Doppler radar to find the snake’s heart, and a third to plunge the needle into it.

Doppler vibrometer – a $500,000 machine that uses laser technology to measure infinitesimal surface vibrations. It was developed in the 1960s and is commonly used by industrial engineers to inspect jet aircraft safety. It’s also been co-opted by spies looking to eavesdrop on indoor conversations from outside a building. Osama bin Laden’s fate was sealed when the CIA detected his voice vibrating on the windows of a compound in Pakistan.

You cannot defeat me,” the doppler snarled. “Because I am you, Geralt.” “You are mistaken, Tellico,” the Witcher said softly. “Drop your sword and resume Biberveldt’s form. Otherwise you’ll regret it, I warn you.” “I am you,” the doppler repeated. “You will not gain an advantage over me. You cannot defeat me, because I am you!” “You cannot have any idea what it means to be me, mimic.” Tellico lowered the hand gripping the sword. “I am you,” he repeated. “No,” the Witcher countered, “you are not. And do you know why? Because you’re a poor, little, good-natured doppler. A doppler who, after all, could have killed Biberveldt and buried his body in the undergrowth, by so doing gaining total safety and utter certainty that he would not be unmasked, ever, by anybody, including the halfling’s spouse, the famous Gardenia Biberveldt. But you didn’t kill him, Tellico, because you didn’t have the courage. Because you’re a poor, little, good-natured doppler, whose close friends call him Dudu. And whoever you might change into you’ll always be the same. You only know how to copy what is good in us, because you don’t understand the bad in us. That’s what you are, doppler.” Tellico moved backwards, pressing his back against the tent’s canvas. “Which is why,” Geralt continued, “you will now turn back into Biberveldt and hold your hands out nicely to be tied up. You aren’t capable of defying me, because I am what you are unable of copying. You are absolutely aware of this, Dudu. Because you took over my thoughts for a moment.” Tellico straightened up abruptly. His face’s features, still those of the Witcher, blurred and spread out, and his white hair curled and began to darken. “You’re right, Geralt,” he said indistinctly, because his lips had begun to change shape. “I took over your thoughts. Only briefly, but it was sufficient. Do you know what I’m going to do now?” The leather witcher jacket took on a glossy, cornflower blue colour. The doppler smiled, straightened his plum bonnet with its egret’s feather, and tightened the strap of the lute slung over his shoulder. The lute which had been a sword a moment ago. “I’ll tell you what I’m going to do, Witcher,” he said, with the rippling laughter characteristic of Dandelion. “I’ll go on my way, squeeze my way into the crowd and change quietly into any-old-body, even a beggar. Because I prefer being a beggar in Novigrad to being a doppler in the wilds.

—Todas las cosas realmente importantes nacen de la soledad… —aseveró Vamm interrumpiéndola— y, aunque ahora mismo te encuentres en un abismo tan oscuro que incluso las palabras pierdan su propio sentido, no te desanimes —siguió, acercándosela con sus pinzas y mirándola fijamente a los ojos—. Lucha, combátela cada día, porque el coraje de una persona se mide por cuánta soledad le sea posible soportar. Hacerle frente de la manera en que lo estás haciendo… solo pueden hacerlo personas realmente valientes. Continúa así y pronto recibirás el mayor de los regalos que puedas tomar. Llegará un día, cuando menos te lo esperes, en el que toda esa oscuridad se convertirá en la mayor de las consciencias que puedas albergar, porque lograrás conocerte de una forma en la que nadie se atreve siquiera a imaginar. Cuando llegue ese momento, entenderás que todo habrá valido la pena —insistió mientras Tuonetar lloraba a lágrima viva y lo abrazaba.

The interpretation relies on a simple but striking effect, first described by Christian Doppler in 1842. Doppler pointed out that if a source of waves is moving away from us, then successive peaks in the wave pattern it emits will come from farther away, so that the waves will arrive stretched out.

The Doppler Defense I went to court in Manhattan and pleaded 'not guilty' to 'running a red light'. I used the 'Doppler Effect defense', saying I approached the red light at such speed that the frequency of the red light wave from the traffic lamp shifted to a green light wave relative to me, the observer. The judge agreed with my scientific explanation and dropped the red light charge. He then and upgraded the charge to a speeding ticket and sentenced me to '30 days of community service in another dimension'. Man, do I fucking hate Brooklyn.

Jednou z prvních věcí, které dělám v novém roce, je, že obnovuju mléčnou dohodu. Balím obrovský kus masa a pokládám ho tam, kde si obvykle vyzvedávám mléko. Mléko je po mnoha stránkách základem, na němž spočívá křehká stavba jménem Doppler. Bez mléka není Doppler, tedy já, v podstatě ničím. Ale teď jdu vstříc době oplývající mlékem, a dokud existuje nízkotučné mléko, existuje naděje.

Jsme Norové a jsme všichni divní. A protože všichni jsou divní, je svým způsobem normální být divný, proto závěr zní, že nikdo z nás není divný. Jsme jen Norové.

The DopplerEffect occurs when either the source of a wave or the observer of a wave (or both) are moving. When a source of a wave is moving towards you, the apparent frequency of the wave you detect is higher than that emitted. For instance, if a car approaches you while playing a note at 500 Hz, the sound you hear will be slightly higher. The opposite occurs (the frequency observed is lower than emitted) for a receding wave or if the observer moves away from the source. It’s important to note that the speed of the wave does not change –it’s traveling through the same medium so the speed is the same. Due to the relative motion between the source and the observer the frequency changes, but not the speed of the wave. Note that while the effect is similar for light and electromagnetic waves the formulas are not exactly the same as for sound.

If anything, mindfulness brought you closer to your neuroses, acting as a sort of Doppler radar, mapping your mental microclimates, making you more insightful, not less. It was the complete opposite of the reckless hope preached by the self-helpers. It was the power of negative thinking.

И как может человек покупать или продавать что бы то ни было? Кому принадлежит теплота воздуха или шелест ветра в листве? Бродящий в деревьях сок несёт память о тех , кто жил до нас. Мы обязаны внушить детям, что твердь, по которой мы ходим, удобрена прахом наших предков, и как мы поступаем с землёй, так поступят потом и с нами, так что, плюя на землю, мы плюём на себя...

Люди вообще обладают одним поразительным свойством: как только они заполняют собой пространство, ты начинаешь видеть исключительно их, а не это самое пространство.

Год за годом меня вела по жизни бескомпромиссная первоклассность. В ней я просыпался, в ней я засыпал. Я дышал безупречностью. И как-то постепенно, незаметно упустил саму жизнь. Господи, не приведи детям моим стать такими же отличниками жизни, каким был я.

chased by Polish curses that seemed to Doppler-shift bizarrely into “Never Gonna Give You Up,” and after I thought of it I couldn’t believe I’d just rickrolled myself.

Maar dan was ons s’n nie bloot seks nie. Dit sou teleurstellend wees. Ons s’n was seismologie. Eers ligte waarskuwings van tektoniese aktiwiteit, gevolg deur ontruimingsaksies in jou bloedvate. Dan iets wat deur die aardkors in jou bene intrek en tsoenami’s wat deur jou buik golf in faktore van tien. Die vonke was van die kaliber wat spat; daar waar die hemel en hel bots en goed en kwaad skouers skuur. Dan later, veel later, die Doppler-effek; ’n afplatting van sirenes soos dit terugtrek die stiltes in. Dan naskokke en katarsis; die skadebeheer van ’n lag of noodhulp in ’n fluistering.

Just as with sound waves, light waves emitted by a moving source show the Doppler effect. What we observe instead of the sound pitch is the color of the light: Red light has a lower frequency than blue light. If the light source is moving toward the observer, the light appears bluer; as it moves away, it will appear red. Likewise, an observer moving inside the blackbody volume will register the radiation coming from the direction opposite to his motion as being blue, that which comes from behind as red. The difference between the two frequencies can tell him his velocity of motion with respect to the blackbody radiation. This difference, however, will decrease as the temperature is lowered; it will vanish altogether at absolute zero. Regardless of an observer's velocity of motion, the radiation meeting him at zero temperature is the same from every direction. The observer therefore has no way of finding out from the radiation alone in which direction he is moving, or whether he is moving at all. Once we accept this scenario, we have already fixed the spectrum (that is, the amount of radiation as a function of its frequency) within some constant factor. However, the result obtained in this way does not appear to make sense: It implies that a blackbody at zero temperature has an infinite supply of energy in the form of zero temperature radiation. The same astonishing result can be derived by means of the quantum theory of electromagnetic radiation, which we call quantum electrodynamics. This theory, the implications of which have been verified in many instances with remarkable precision, tells us that the true vacuum at zero temperature still has an infinite supply of radiation energy. As we proceed, we will see that electromagnetic radiation is in fact only one component, albeit infinite in quantity, of the unfathomable energy supply of the vacuum.

Experiments with the COBE (Cosmic Background Explorer) satellite, which was launched in 1989, showed in 1990 with overwhelming precision what was already known from previous experiments-that the cosmic background radiation filling the universe has all the properties of blackbody radiation at absolute temperature 2.735 degrees, save some tiny deviations. It would be very surprising if Earth were at rest with respect to this radiation. The velocity of Earth relative to it was first measured in 1977 from an airplane by investigating the influence of the Doppler effect (fig. 57). The blackbody radiation as received by an observer who moves relative to it displays what is called a "dipolar asymmetry": The radiation coming from the direction in which the observer moves is shifted to higher frequencies, the radiation from the opposite direction to lower frequencies. This shift has the remarkable property that the radiation arriving from any direction has all the properties of a blackbody radiation; only the temperature is shifted-to higher values in front, to lower in the rear. By measuring this temperature difference of about .0035 Celsius, scientists have established that the solar system is moving toward the constellation Leo with a velocity of of approximately 250 miles per second relative to the background radiation. By properly adding velocities, it follows that the Milky Way itself moves at a speed of about 500 miles per second relative to the background radiation.

Doppler effect.

Intentaré explicarlo un poco mejor. Christian Doppler se percató en 1842 de que al escuchar la sirena de un camión de bomberos, por ejemplo, el sonido difería ligeramente si éste se acercaba o se retiraba. Al aproximarse a nosotros, escuchamos un sonido más agudo que cuando se aleja. Los tonos de menor longitud de onda son más agudos y los de mayor longitud de onda, más graves. Con la luz sucede algo semejante: las ondas luminosas que emite un foco que se aproxima a nosotros tendrá una tonalidad más «azulada» (de menor longitud de onda), mientras que si el foco se aleja, su tonalidad será más «rojiza» (de mayor longitud de onda).

—He ahí el verdadero desafío… pues el destino nunca transgrede sus propias leyes, por lo que nos es imposible escapar a él. En él no hay cabida para la razón o método alguno, por mucho que nos empeñemos en intentar manipularlo. El destino es una obra inexorable e inmutable, y nosotros tan solo somos insignificantes fragmentos de los que se vale para determinarse. El único papel que tenemos en esta gran obra es el de responder a ello siendo los verdaderos dueños de nuestra propia capacidad… para afrontarlo —respondió mirando al cielo.

The doppler pursed its glutinous lips and glowered at the Witcher with an evil expression in its dull eyes,

During a tornado in Bridge Creek, Oklahoma, on 3 May 1999, Doppler radar revealed a wind speed of 486 kilometres per hour about 30 metres above the ground – the fastest ever recorded.

Direct matter wave synthesis utilizing amplified Lorentz-Doppler beams appears as a plausible means for induced motion of matter. A synthesized matter wave may be generated by phase conjugate four-waving mixing of a signal beam, counter-propagating phase conjugate beam and two or more amplified pump beams.

It feels dopplered, as if it’s coming and going at the same time, compressing as it speaks and then etiolating as it listens. No. Not that. Yes, that exactly.

Doppler åpnet øynene og så hele fargespekteret for første gang på mange måneder. Verden hadde farge. Den var rød, den var grønn. Den var roggbif.

To probe the rolling currents, they used laser light. A beam shining through the water would produce a deflection, or scattering, that could be measured in a technique called laser doppler interferometry. And the stream of data could be stored and processed by a computer—a device that in 1975 was rarely seen in a tabletop laboratory experiment. Landau had said new frequencies would appear, one at a time, as a flow increased. “So we read that,” Swinney recalled, “and we said, fine, we will look at the transitions where these frequencies come in. So we looked, and sure enough there was a very well-defined transition. We went back and forth through the transition, bringing the rotation speed of the cylinder up and down. It was very well defined.

Vi blir født alene og dør alene. Det er bare å venne seg til det først som sist. Alenheten er grunnleggende i hele konstruksjonen. Den er så å si selve bærebjelken. Man kan leve sammen med andre, men sammen betyr som regel ved siden av. Og det er fint nok. Man lever side om side med andre og i heldige glimt lever man kanskje til og med sammen med dem. Man sitter i samme bil, spiser samme middag, feirer samme jul. Men det er noe annet å kjøre bil sammen, spise middag sammen eller feire jul sammen. Det er ytterligheter, To planeter.
