Behind the onion - Scientific X-ray Vision 科學超人眼

  On the left-hand side, it is a picture as everyone is able to take on the side-view of a flame. This image is as the same as what we normally taking in our daily life - we are imaging living three dimensional objects onto a screen. The screen gathers all the information of all the objects projected as a two dimensional picture. Is it possible to see what's in the middle between objects on the picture? How can we get to see only one slice located at the center plane of the flame? Superman gets his talent X-ray eye to see this world but we don't.
  
  左手邊這張照片,是一張你我都會拍攝的火焰側面玉照。他的拍攝方式如同我們一般相機拍照稀鬆平常,垂手可得 —— 把想要拍攝的三維空間成像投影在相機裡的屏幕上。這張屏幕把這個角度的所有投射物體變成一張二維空間的照片。我們有可能可以看到照片物體和物體香疊的中間有什麼嗎?有什麼辦法我們可以只看到照片中間一個平面(剖面)的火焰的樣子?超人有他天生的透視眼可以穿透物體看到一切,但是我們沒有這個技能。



  The right-hand side picture is a mathematically resolved image located right in the middle of the flame. I am  expressing my admire to those scientists open up all of mysteries of physical phenomenon by mathematics. They are hard thinkers. They are one kind of philosopher trying to make the life having more sense.

右手邊這張照片是一個數學方法解出來的圖片,他就是火焰正中間一個由上到下一個平面的照片。科學家們不遺餘力的努力挖掘不同的方法來找尋這個世界的奧秘。我非常的佩服他們。他們是思想家,也是一種哲學家,他們努力的讓這個世界更有意義。
