What is a SWIFT Code and Why It Matters in International Remittance Introduction If you've ever tried sending or receiving money from another country, chances are you've heard someone mention a "SWIFT code."

At first, it might sound like some kind of spy gadget or computer jargon — but in the world of international banking, it's one of the most important details you’ll need. So, what exactly is a SWIFT code, and why is it such a big deal in international remittances? Let’s break it down in simple terms.

What is a SWIFT Code, Really?
SWIFT stands for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. In plain English, it's the global system banks use to communicate securely with each other. When you’re sending money internationally — whether through your bank or a remittance service — that transaction needs to be directed to the exact bank and even the specific branch of the recipient. That’s where a SWIFT code comes in.

A typical SWIFT code looks something like this: CHASUS33XXX. Here’s how it breaks down:
• CHAS = Bank code (JPMorgan Chase)
• US = Country code (United States)
• 33 = Location code
• XXX = Optional branch identifier

This code is like the bank's international "address" for receiving money.

Why It’s Important for International Transfers
Let’s say your cousin in Canada wants to send you some money to your bank account in Indonesia. Her bank will ask for two main things: your bank account number and the SWIFT code of your Indonesian bank. Without the correct SWIFT code, the transfer might be delayed, misrouted, or even rejected entirely.

It’s especially important for freelancers, digital nomads, international students, and overseas workers who depend on smooth international payments. A small error in the code can cause big headaches.

Example Scenario: Sending Money to Bank Mandiri in Jakarta
Imagine you're a content creator in Jakarta working with clients from the US. One of your clients wants to pay you via bank transfer. You would provide them with:

• Your account number
• Your full name as registered with the bank
• The SWIFT code: BMRIIDJA (Bank Mandiri, Jakarta)

With this info, their bank can send the payment directly to your local account, and you’ll usually receive it within 1–3 business days depending on the bank’s processing time.

How to Find a SWIFT Code
There are a few easy ways:
• Check your bank's official website
• Look at your online banking profile
• Ask your bank's customer service
• Use official SWIFT code directories (be cautious — some third-party sites are not always accurate)

Quick Tip: Don’t Confuse It with IBAN
Some countries use an IBAN (International Bank Account Number), which is different from a SWIFT code. While SWIFT tells which bank, IBAN tells exactly which account. In many transfers, both are required.

Fun Fact
Over 11,000 financial institutions across 200+ countries use SWIFT codes — it’s truly a global system!

Conclusion
Understanding what a SWIFT code is can save you from a lot of stress and confusion when dealing with international remittances. It may look like just a string of letters and numbers, but this little code ensures your money gets where it needs to go — quickly and securely. Whether you're sending money to family, getting paid by clients abroad, or receiving support from overseas, knowing your SWIFT code is essential.

So next time someone asks for it, you’ll know exactly what to say — and why it matters.

Inilah RESIKO nya jika kamu terlambat Memperpanjang DOMAIN Blog Hampir Saya pelanggan rumahweb mungkin sudah belasan tahun. Sudah banyak nama nama domain yang saya register, walaupun semuanya expired alias tidak diperpanjang karena client saya tidak memperpanjang lagi. Namun ada 1 (satu) domain yang saya miliki, yang kalau saya tidak salah berdasarkan data dari clientzone akun saya di rumahweb Domain Registration - simplyasep.com - 1 tahun (09/09/2014 - 08/09/2015) yang masih ada datanya dari sekarang.

Ini sudah membuktikan bahwa domain simplyasep.com adalah saya pemiliknya yang sah. Nah jika kamu kamu meng WHOIS nama domain itu, makan yang tercetak di sana adalah nama pendaftar Porkbun LLC adalah pencurinya.  Itu adalah PELAKOR digital alias perebut DOMAIN orang.  Kesal? Ya tentu.  Namun saya juga mengakui bahwa ini kesalahan fatal (fatal mistake) saya juga karena tidak mengindahkan warning (peringatan) atau reminder dari Rumah web.

Tiga kali rumahweb mengirimkan pesan via email kepada saya agar segera memperpanjang sewa domainnya, namun saya tidak saya indahkan kaena berbagai sebab (termasuk sebab belum ada duit saat itu-red), akhirnya nama domain itu terhapus, lalu available, hingga direbut sama mas Porkbun LLC itu. FYI , dalam hal urusan domain, siapa yang cepat (meregister) maka dia yang dapat..   

Bayangkan domain yang sudah saya jaga baik baik hingga mendapat score DA (Domain Authority) dan PA (Page Authority) kini lenyap karena "kemalasan" saya terlambat memperpanjang sewa domain.  Nah sekarang saya kembali ke masa masa dimana saya menggunakan nama domain gratisan di Blogspot hingga sekarang.

Saya sudah coba mengintai kembali nama domain kesayangan saya tersebut, namun selalu keduluan sama si pelakor tadi, yang lebih cepat memperpanjang nama domain saya itu hingga saat tulisan ini naik, masih dia pegang.  Its ridiculous buddy.  What they did to me just what Israel have done to Palestine. A thief will never be able to become an owner. I am telling you.

Dan itu mungkin menjadi salah satu alasan mengaopa sudah lebih dari 2 (dua) tahun ini saya jarang menulis. 

Bagaimana kalau saya mendaftar nama domain baru yang lebih personal dan classy seperti menggunakan nama sendiri?  Hmm itu juga sudah menjadi bahan pertimbangan saya bahkan sederet nama nama domain baru sudah ada saya tulis dan catatannya yang 1 lembar berisi nama nama domain baru sudah ada dilaci saya. Kapan realisasinya untuk mendaftar nama domain baru?  Well. I am not sure. I have no idea. Do you have any idea to what I suppose to do with this stuff? (Asep Haryono)

Tag : Teknik Blogging - Asep Haryono | The Enigmatic Origins of "Hotel California" by the Eagles - Powered by Blogger

The Eagles' 1977 hit song "Hotel California" has captivated music enthusiasts for decades, with its haunting melody, evocative lyrics, and mysterious symbolism. This research paper delves into the true stories and inspirations behind this iconic track, uncovering the multifaceted influences that converged to create one of the most acclaimed and enduring songs in rock history.

 Contrary to popular belief, the "Hotel California" does not refer to a specific hotel, but rather serves as a metaphor for the decadence, excess, and spiritual emptiness that characterized the 1970s in the United States. The song's lyrics, penned by Don Felder, Don Henley, and Glenn Frey, draw upon their personal experiences and observations of the music industry, the counterculture movement, and the societal changes that were unfolding at the time.

Photo taken from Photo courtesy https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/

The term "Hotel California" itself was inspired by a real-life experience Henley had while staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where he witnessed the hedonistic and self-indulgent behavior

of the hotel's wealthy patrons. The song's haunting and evocative imagery, such as the "dark desert highway," the "shimmering light," and the "master's chamber," have been the subject of much debate and interpretation over the years. Some have suggested that the "Hotel California" represents a metaphor for the corrupting influence of fame and success, while others have interpreted it as a commentary on the spiritual and moral decay of American society.

 Musically, the song's intricate guitar work, featuring the iconic dual lead guitar lines played by Felder and Joe Walsh, has been widely praised and studied by musicians and music theorists alike. The song's extended instrumental section, which features a virtuosic guitar solo, has become one of the most recognizable and iconic moments in rock music history. The recording of "Hotel California" was a complex and challenging process, with the band spending countless hours refining and perfecting the track.

The song's final form, which features a seamless blend of rock, folk, and classical influences, is a testament to the Eagles' exceptional musicianship and attention to detail. In conclusion, the true stories behind "Hotel California" are multi-layered and complex, reflecting the band's unique perspectives on the social, cultural, and spiritual upheavals of the 1970s. The song's enduring popularity and critical acclaim are a testament to the power of music to capture the zeitgeist of an era and to resonate with listeners across generations. (From many resources)

Tag : Keseharian, Teknik Blogging - Asep Haryono | The Truth Behind Christmas - Powered by Blogger

Christmas, a time-honored celebration observed by millions worldwide, has long been shrouded in myths and misconceptions. The origins of this beloved holiday can be traced back to pre-Christian traditions, with its modern incarnation shaped by a complex interplay of religious, cultural, and commercial influences. (Deacy, 2016) (Miller, 2017)

Contrary to popular belief, the exact date of Jesus's birth is not definitively known, and the decision to celebrate it on December 25th was likely a strategic move by the early Christian church to coincide with existing pagan festivals (Miller, 2017).

As one source notes, "most of the festivals and rites that were once celebrated have at least in the more metropolitan areas practically disappeared. By contrast Christmas has been the one festival that has secured official backing and increasing commercial attention, so that today it is as though all the other festivals had been emptied out and replaced by this one last celebration that now stands as the symbol of the very idea of an annual festival" (Miller, 2017).

The traditions associated with Christmas, such as the Christmas tree, gift-giving, and Santa Claus, have their roots in a diverse array of cultural and religious practices. The significance of place in the celebration of Christmas is also noteworthy, with the home often being the ideal locus for the festivities.

While the commercialization of Christmas has been a source of criticism, the holiday's enduring appeal and global reach are a testament to its ability to adapt and evolve over time. As one scholar suggests, "the attention given to composite landscapes and individual dwellings suggests that place, as well as time, is important to the celebration.

By definition Christmas is a season, but as a festival it has a certain locus: to borrow a phrase from Peter Jackson, it literally "takes place."" (McGreevy, 1990) The truth behind Christmas is a complex and multifaceted story, one that encompasses the interplay of ancient traditions, religious beliefs, and modern commercial interests.

Despite the critiques, the enduring appeal of Christmas lies in its ability to bring people together and create a sense of shared joy and meaning, even in the face of a fast-paced consumer culture. (Miller, 2017) (McGreevy, 1990) (Deacy, 2016) .

Tag : Keseharian, Teknik Blogging - Asep Haryono | Apa Yang Anda ketahui tentang pembunuhan pemimpin politik Hamas Haniyeh - Powered by Blogger

DW News Minggu lalu Perdana Menteri Israel Benjamin Netanyahu berdiri di hadapan AS Kongres di Washington dan menempatkan rezim ran dan pejuang proksinya Hizbullah dan Hamas sebagai Teoris dan ancaman bagi Israel.

Namun sayangnya PM Netanyahu tidak sedikitpun menyinggung usual Gencatan senjata. Kini dunia kembali dikejutkan dengan berita Tewasnya Pemimpin Hamas Ismael Haniyeh, seorang komandan Hizbullah dan pemimpin politik Hamas. Sejauh ini belum ada klaim bertanggung jawab atas pembunuhan Haniyeh dan bahkan Iran secara tegas menyalahkan Israel dan bersumpah balas dendam AS

Photo taken from DW Youtube Channel

Sahabat Pembaca Blog yang budiman

Seperti yang diberitakan, Haniyeh berada di Teheran Iran,  untuk menghadiri peresmian atau pelantikan presiden Iran yang baru terpilih Dia (Ismail Haniyah-red) dilaporkan terbunuh sebelum waktu fajar.  Banyak analis memperkirakan bahwa serangan udara yang menewaskan Haniyeh ini dikuatirkan aakhirnya bisa memicu perang habis-habisan di Timur Tengah setelah serangan  7 Oktober tahun lalu

Di pihak Israel bersumpah dan , sejak tanggal 7 Oktober tahun lalu memang sudah berjanji untuk membunuh para pemimpin HAMAS (termasuk Haniyeh-rd) dan para pemimpin HAMAS lainnya Pemimpin Hamas.  Ketika Kantor Berita DW mengonfirmasi kematian Haniyeh kepad Israel,Perdana Menteri Israel Benyamin Netanyahu tidak mengatakan apa-apa tentang kematian Pemimpin HAMAS Senior itu dan bahkan mengatakan bahwa Israel akan menepati Janjinya dan menuntut HAMAS akan akan membayar mahal untuk setiap agresi melawannya di front dimanapun


Teori Konspirasi Dan Kejanggalan
Seperti yang kita ketahui bahwa Ismail Haniyeh dan seorang pengawal tewas dalam serangan terhadap tempat tinggal di Teheran  Pihak berwenang di Teheran pun sontak  mengutuk aksi brutal Israel kali ini.

Dan sejumlah Teori Konspirasi dan Kejanggan pun mulai mengemuka.  Banyak analis meragukan kebenaran Berita Tewasnya Ismael Haniyeh ini dan menganggap sebagai TRIK untuk dijadikan sebhgai Justifikasi (Pembenaran) untuk menyerang Israel.  Dalam hal ini sejauh ini belum ditemukan bukti otentik dan fakta fakta Tewasnya Pemimpin Senior Hamas itu.  Tidak ada video bekas penyerangan atau serangan udara terhadap Pemimpin Iran tersebit.  Tidak ada Video jenasahnya ditampilkan. 

Beberpa pertanyaan "Nakal" pun mengemuka.  Jika itu merupakan serangan Udara, mengapa TEHERAN yang dikenal memiliki persenjataan canggih tidak dapat mendeteksi masuknya pesawat asing menyerang negaranya?  Dimana fungsi Intelijen atau Badan Rahasia IRAN hingga bisa "kecolongan seperti itu?  Jika itu berupa serangan rudal, mengapa hanya 2 orang yang tewas yakni Haniyeh dan seorang Pengawalnya, sedangkan dia berada dalam sebuah pemukiman yang banyak penduduknya.


Kesepakatan Pembebasan Sandera
Gencatan Senjata yang digaungkan oleh dunia International, seolah tidak berbekas taau bahkan tidak digubris oleh kedua belah pihak baik HAMAS maupun Israel. Belum lagi dengan keputusan International Court Of Justice (ICJ) Di Denhaag dengan mengeluarkan perintah ISRAEL untuk segera keluar dari Gaza karena pendudukanya atas Gaza adalah Ilegal juga tidak diperdulikan oleh Israel.

Di dalam negerinya sendiri, ISRAEL mendapat tekanan dari rakyatnya sendiri terutama dari para keluarga Sandera yang menekan PM Israel unjtuk segera membebaslan para sandera yang masih ditawan HAMAS dan Sepakati Gencatan Senjata juga tidak diindahkan oleh PM Benyamin Netanyahu.   Dari sini kita bisa melihat bahwa Rakyat Isarel berbeda 100 derajat dengan Para Pemimpinnya.  Israel kini lebih didominasi oleh kemauan dan ambisi pribadi sang Perdana Menteri untuk melanggengkan kekuasaanya di Israel.   

Di sisi lain, ketegangan dan Eskalasi antara ISRAEL dengan Lebanon kian semakin memanas. Berbagai analis memperkirakan jika perang besar terjadi antara HAMAS dan Lebanon dikuatirkan akan menyeret dua negara besar Amerika Serika dan RUSIA untuk turun ke gelanggang peperangan walau tidak secara langsung

Mengapa demikian? Sebab Amerika Serikat memberikan dukungan Politik dan persenjataan untuk Israel menyerang musuh musuhnya, dan HAMAS juag mendapat dukungan dari berbagai front yang didukung oleh Teheran. Di sisi lain RUSIA juga mulai digadang gadang siap merapat ke HAMAS dan memberikan dukungan sebagaimana AS mendukung Ukraina melawan Rusia.  Kini RUSIA punya alasan kuat untuk membantu HAMAS melawan Isarel yang didukung Amerika Serikat.

DAN tentu juga perlu dicatat bahwa masih ada kesempatam dam banyak pihak menilai masih ada peluang Win Win Solution atau melihat solusi diplomatik sebagai jalan ke depan untuk yang lebih damai dan wilayah yang aman (Disari dari beberaoa REFERENSI)

Tag : Teknik Blogging - Asep Haryono | Benarkah Ada Upaya Pembunuhan Terhadap Mantan Presiden DONALD TRUMP? - Powered by Blogger

Saat ini ditengah gencarnya pemberitaan tentang Perang HAMAS ISRAEL dan RUSIA UKRAINA, dunia tersentak dengan beredarnya Video Penembakan terhadap Mantan Presiden Amerika Serikat Donald Trump saat berkampanye di kota Pennsylvania. Hari itu adalah hari yang menyedihkan bagi Amerika Serikat tentunya khususnya untuk para Fans dan pendukung TRUMP yang gencar berkampanye untuk pemilihan Presiden Amerika mendatang.

Dan memang,saat ini terasa sulit untuk menemukan kata-kata untuk menggambarkan keterkejutan dan kengerian yang dirasakan orang-orang saat ini setelah banyak dari kita menyaksikan sendiri di televisi secara live (langsung) upaya assassination attempt atau pembunuhan terhadap mantan presiden Donald Trump pada rapat umum kampanye di Pennsylvania.

Kantor Berita SKY NEWS AUSTRLIA menggambarkan kejadian itu sebagai hari yang menyedihkan dunia pada khususnya dan bagi Amerika saat sekarang ini saat ini dimana mana orang-orang mencurahkan isi hati dan perasaan mereka di media sosial dan memposting doa untuk Trump dengan tagar #prayDonaldTrump atau #PrayTRUMP dan tagar lainnya, 

Bahkan dalam beberapa media menggambarkan secara Graphic bagaimana sebuah peluru tampak tertangkap kamera melesat menuju kepala TRUMP membuat banyak orang tersentak. Anda dapat melihat peluru yang mengenai telinga kanannya saat dia bangun dengan darah berlumuran di  telinga dan pelipisnya

DIPANDU : Mantan presiden DONALD TRUMP sesaat setelah terjado insiden penembankan, langsung dipandu oleh Secret Service untuk dipindahkan menuju kendaraan yang sudah disiapkan.  Foto dari Halaman Youtube SKY NEWS AUSTRALIA

Sebenarnya ada lebih banyak lagi video yang beredar yang membahas banyak hal terkait teradap apa yang disebut media barat khususnya AUSTRALIA yang memang merupakan sekutu Amerika Serikat sebagai "Upaya Percobaan Pembunuhan Yang Gagal".  Beberapa video bahlan secara graphic menangkap aksi penembak Jitu yang mengawal Pidato TRUMP yang melakukan serangan balasan terhadap gunman (penembak) yang diduga berusa 20 tahun yang bernama Thomas Mattew C yang menurut media sudah berhasil dilumpuhkan oleh tim keamanan setempat.

TEORI KONSPIRASI
Kejadian yang menimpa TRUMP dalam catatan sejarah bukan pertama terjadi yakni adanya upaya pembumuhan terhadap Calon Presiden Amerika Serikat. Sebelumnya hal serupa yakni upaya perconbaan pembunuhan pun pernah terjadi  yakni adanya upaya untuk membunuh orang yang mencalonkan diri sebagai presiden, ketika ada upaya pembunuhan terhadap presiden Republik Ronald Reagan

Teori Konspirasi akhirnya muncul.  Adalah hal yang wajar dalam proses pencalonan Presiden dimana pun diseluruh dunia, lawan POLITIK akan melakukan banyak hal untuk bisa menjegal pesaingannya.  Dan upaya pembunuhan terhadap mantan Presiden Donald Trump selain mengundang banyak dukungan dan simpati, juga menjadi "peluru" bagi lawan lawan politiknya untuk "menyerang" TRUMP. 

Sebagian dari mereka menyebut bahwa Upaya Pembunuhan TRUMP seperti fake (palsu)) dan tidak lebih dari pencitraan (Staged).  Claims that Trump Shooting was staged (Menuduh bahwa upaya penembakan TRUMP seperti dalam pentas atau sandiwara).  Dengan inim TRUMP membuat kesan dirinya sebagai korban dan menujukkan kepada dunia dan kepada para pendukungnya bahwa dia kuat dan berharap mendapat simpati

Sebagia pengamat Militer mengatakan bahwa Secara teknis PELURU yang digunakan penembak (Thomas Matthews C) adalah peluru yang tidak mematikan dalam arti bukan perlu sungguhan.  Sebab, kata pengamat, jika Peluru yang digunakan adalah Peluru ASLI atau Peluru Sungguhan, mereka berkeyakinan bahwa TRUMP sudah pasti tewas saat peluru itu mengenai kepala atau dibagian telinganya.   Analisis ini sepertinya masuk akal, namun benarkah demikian?

Kita semua tahu bahwa  ada lawan Politik TRUMP dalam kampanye pemilihan Presiden Amerika mendatang ini.   Banyak komentar-komentar itu akan datang pada titik tertentu,  atau bahkan justru jmalah menyalahkan Donald Trump disaat banyak dari kita menyaksiskan sendiri bagaimana dia hampir dibunuh di atas panggung, tetapi komentar-komentar miring selalu datang hingga membuat kontes pemilihan Presiden Amerika ini agak "gaduh". dan banyak pakar menganalisis kejadian penembakan TRUMP itu dari berbagai sudut pandang

Miliarder Elon Musk ini dikabarkan memberi dukungan kepada TRUMP dengan memposting di X yang sepenuhnya mendukung presiden Trump dan berharap untuk pemulihannya yang cepat terlepas dari semua kebencian di dunia dan bahkan upaya pembunuhan Donald Trump tidak menyerah tulisnya di Akun X miliknya

Pihak berwenang di AS ,FBI bersama tim kepolisian Butler County di Pennsylvania Barat mengutuk  tindakan keji yang terjadi terhadap Trumpdan pihak FBI telah mengerahkan sejumlah sumber daya kami, termasuk agen investigasi, teknisi bom Tim Respons sebagai bukti keseriusan mereka mengungkap Dalang Sesungguhnya atau MOTIF dibalik upaya pembunuhan Trump ini.

Pihak FBI mengaku memiliki intelijen yang sudah turun ke lapangan dengan sigap  mengidentifikasi individu yang melakukan ini, Thomas Matthews C dan motif apa pun di balik mengapa ini dia lakukan sekarang,  Pihak FBI mengaku merekamembutuhkan bantuan Publik, siapa pun yang berada di tempat kejadian yang melihat apa pun yang mengidentifikasi informasi apa pun bisa melaporkan itu ke FBI menggunakan saluran komunikasi yang sudah mereka sediakan (Dikutip dari Berbagai SUMBER)

Tag : Teknik Blogging - Asep Haryono | What Do We Know About Time Travel ? - Powered by Blogger

Time travel, the concept of moving between different moments in time, has long been a popular topic in science fiction. While time travel is a fascinating theoretical notion, it currently remains firmly in the realm of science fiction.

One of the most well-known examples of time travel in science fiction is Ray Bradbury's short story, which involves a character going back to the Paleolithic era and causing irreparable damage to the future timeline.

Other notable works exploring time travel and its implications include Philip Roth's The Plot against America, which supposes an alternate history where Charles Lindbergh wins the 1940 election instead of Franklin Roosevelt.

Those interested in exploring the concept of time travel further may want to consult academic sources such as William J. Burl For further reading on time travel in science fiction, William J. Burling's "Reading Time: The Ideology of Time Travel in Science Fiction" and Jolie C. Matthews' "Contesting Time and Space: The Politics of Time Travel in Science Fiction."

Time travel is a distinctive feature of dystopian literature, and it employs time as a tool for reality detachment. From a scientific perspective, time travel is an intriguing concept that has been explored in various theoretical models based on general relativity. \ However, the scientific community widely agrees that time travel to the past is currently impossible due to a number of paradoxes and inconsistencies, such as the grandfather paradox.

Despite this, some theoretical models suggest that time travel to the future may be possible under certain conditions- such as traveling at high speeds or experiencing extreme gravitational forces. It is important to note that any discussion of time travel must consider the philosophical and ethical implications of altering history. In addition, the concept of time travel raises questions about free will and determinism, as well as the impact that changing past events may have on future outcomes.

Overall, while time travel remains a topic of fascination and speculation in both fiction and academic circles, its practical application remains elusive. Furthermore, it is important to note that any discussion of time travel must consider the limitations and potential consequences associated with altering historical events.

The dangers of time travel and the consequences of altering the past are explored in various works such as a short story where a character goes back to the Paleolithic era and accidentally steps on a butterfly, leading to dramatic changes in the future.

Therefore, any attempt at time travel should be approached with caution and careful consideration of its potential impact on history and society. It is crucial for any researcher interested in the topic of time travel to consult academic sources such as William J. Burling's "Reading Time: The Ideology of Time Travel in Science Fiction" and Jolie C. Matthews' "Contesting Time and Space:

The Politics of Time Travel in Science Fiction" to understand the various theoretical models and their implications. In conclusion, while the idea of time travel has captured imaginations for centuries, particularly in science fiction literature, its practical applications remain unknown and are still the subject of ongoing scientific inquiry.

As such, any discussion of time travel must be approached with a rigorous scientific and ethical framework that accounts for the potential consequences of altering historical events. It is important for researchers and scholars to continue exploring the concept of time travel in order to gain a better understanding of its theoretical underpinnings and possible implications.

However, it is equally important to recognize the limitations and potential dangers associated with time travel. Careful consideration of the ethical implications, and rigorous scientific inquiry are necessary for any further research in this field. Moreover, it is crucial to recognize that all future insights are influenced by the baggage of history and its impact on future events.

Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach is needed that includes perspectives from science, ethics, history, and culture. In the context of new technologies, fictional narratives such as science fiction can offer us valuable insights and imaginative variations .

You may What Do You Know About Fata Morgana.

However, it is important to note that imaginative variation alone might not generate accurate ethical decisions.(Nascimento, 2020) Eileen Botting argues that fictional narratives such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the prototype for science fiction on the ethics of artificial creation and modification of human life, can help us explore the personal, interpersonal, and social implication of certain technological advances.(Nascimento, 2020)

Additionally, science fiction has been shown to have a significant impact on cultural memory and people's interpretations of science. Therefore, it is important for scientists and researchers to keep in mind how science fiction portrays scientific concepts. In summary, time travel remains a fascinating concept in both scientific and fictional communities.

However, any discussions of it should be approached with a rigorous scientific and ethical framework that accounts for all potential risks and consequences. Films that focus on the ethics and implications of technology, such as time travel, have the potential to engage students with ethical considerations they may have found difficult to fully grasp in classroom discussions.

These films can offer a new and engaging medium in which to explore ethical dilemmas related to technology, as well as the cultural impact of technology. Furthermore, science fiction prototyping can be a valuable tool in exploring the ethical implications of technological advancements and providing scenarios for risk management. It is important to cultivate imaginative technological skepticism when exploring potential advancements, and science fiction can provide a valuable source of inspiration in this regard.

Ultimately, a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach is necessary when dealing with new technologies and their potential ethical implications. It is crucial to apply a diverse range of perspectives, including those from science, ethics, history, and culture. By encompassing these different perspectives, we can approach emerging technologies with greater awareness of the possible consequences they might have on individuals, societies, and the environment.   (Taken from many resources)

In the middle of the Second World War there was a technological accomplishment that made the Manhattan Project look easy at least according to a handful of true believers they claimed Albert Einstein and other scientists designed a way to make a ship vanish into thin air literally and reappear somewhere else bizarre or not the story of teleportation has inspired two movies countless books and numerous websites filled with rumors and conspiracy theories.

What actually happened to the USS Eldridge in the fall of 1943?

Busting out warships don't usually make the pages of Playboy yet sandwiched between nude layouts in the October 1996 Greek edition of Playboy there are pictures of a ship called the lay on.  the article is not the usual stuff of Playboy either it describes how the lay home originally an American World War two destroyer is being scrapped after a half century of service and nearly four decades with the Greek movie. 

But as it happens this is no ordinary warship the vessel the Greeks call the lay home has a legendary past life long ago she is known as the USS eldridge back when she is supposedly the subject of an audacious experiment in teleportation and invisibility.

As the story goes the experiment takes place in the early years of World War two as a countermeasure against German u-boats. Allied convoys are a lifeline delivering men Goods and weapons in britain's hour of need but they are slow and clumsy often made up of outdated decrepit ships the warships protecting them are a step behind enemy subs as they have wider turning radiuses .

A u-boat can easily outmaneuver a destroyer slip into the convoy and zero in on a defenseless target. In 1942 alone more than 1,000 Allied ships are torpedoed and sunk. to combat the subs the US Navy develops a more maneuverable kind of warship called the destroyer escort . A destroyer escort is an anti-submarine vessel and it's sort of like a destroyer except that it's not as fast it has a much smaller turning circle.

Better maneuverability might not be the only thing in the works believers in the Philadelphia Experiment say there are plans to give the destroyer escort the supreme advantage over submarines invisibility. The alleged brainchild of none other and Albert Einstein  

The True Story of the Philadelphia Experiment

Einstein in fact works for the Navy at the time officially he is working on ideas for conventional weapons including torpedoes and under warding lines but this is a cover for Einstein's real project at least societal believers among them a supposed I witness to the experiment named Carlos Hyundai.

According to a yawn day the Navy used a variation of Albert Einstein's unified field theory which at that point in time was supposedly uncompleted and they used this unified field theory to to bend light to render the ship invisible because it was encased in this this electromagnetic fog. It is also from a yen day that we learned the identity of the supposed test ship a destroyer escort named the USS Eldridge.

This leap into the technological unknown is not without its terrors pourcel says alfred bellick who claims to have been on the scientific team we were all very concerned and i might add for three days prior from about the 9th onward many of us and that crew and working on that project had that strange feeling in the pit of my stomach that something was drastically wrong

Nevertheless in july 1943 in Philadelphia Naval Yard the experiment is said to go forward, Powerful electromagnetic fields are engaged around the Eldridge a skeleton crew award. scientists and officers watching at a safe distance. the only other reported eyewitness is Carlos Allende a deckhand on a nearby Liberty ship and when he claims he saw was a ship that was involved in a in a greenish almost a st. Elmo's fire a green fiery fog .

As the electromagnetic fog swallows the Eldridge strange optical effects manifest themselves and then as he watched and was able to even insert his arm and what he called the terrific flow of this energy the ship disappeared.  the amazement of all the onlookers they not only had radar invisibility they had optical invisibility. the Eldridge reportedly achieves the supreme form of camouflage invisibility but then comes an even stranger effect teleportation 

Chroniclers of the Philadelphia Experiment are divided on whether this happens that first day or in a follow-up test but what they do agree on is that as the Eldridge starts to reappear there is a sudden flash of light that the ship vanishes from sight once again and simultaneously begins to reappear in the Naval Yard in Norfolk Virginia 300 miles away 

After a few minutes she D materializes in Norfolk and reappears in the midst of another ozone Laden green fog in Philadelphia throughout this miraculous journey the USS Eldridge emerges unscathed but for a crew it is a different story then were molecularly attached to the ship bonded with a ship as it was teleported they were driven insane men caught fire men went invisible

I'm is terrible horrific things that happened to these crew members as we continue the nightmare that follows and the alleged cover-up family was never told the truth they were told basically that they were lost at sea during the war as part of a war which is of course a very plausible answer . The idea of teleportation first surfaced in the man without a body written by Edward page Mitchell in 1877 in the story the machinery breaks in the middle of a teleportation leaving the subject with his head and bodies separated

Philadelphia Naval Yard summer 1943
according to legend the USS eldridge returns after being teleported hundreds of miles as shiri materializes out of a thick green fog observers are electrified by the achievement but their excitement turns to horror. 

Mmolecules have been scrambled human move mental limbs have been fused to bulkheads gruesome sight first thing they found was to sail is buried in the steel deck the bodies were literally buried in the steel dying or near dead two more were found standing upright in a bulkhead also buried in the steel this man with his hand buried in the steel up to his wrist.

other sailors are simply missing vaporized into thin air for survivors there are still other problems due to the powerful electromagnetic fields they have been exposed to language I've been saying then cut fireman what visible image the terrible horrific things that happen to these crew members

The problem basically was the human nervous system could not take exposure to that level of magnetic and electric fields and who caused neural damage nerve damage so severe that some of the victims are reportedly institutionalized while falsely classified as missing in action.  the family was never told the truth they were told basically that they were lost at sea during the war as part of the war effort which is of course a very plausible answer.  in one version of the story the men are susceptible to something call

This leads to the most surreal episode of the story again according to Carlos a yin day in a waterfront tavern a group of sailors from the Eldridge are drinking one thing leads to another and a fight for example.  it is a garden-variety barbell with one difference the sailors are fading in and out of sight the sailors involved in the fracas became invisible dissipated the thin air in front of frightened patrons and and waitresses and just they just they were there I meant and gone the next

faced with these bizarre after-effects and the carnage aboard the Eldridge the Navy it is said deep sixes the whole operation. The scientific team is dissolved further experiments canceled the Eldridge's logs are said to be altered to show that she was never in Philadelphia Naval Yard witnesses are forced to sign draconian oaths of secrecy and so closes the navy's world war ii experiment in invisibility and teleportation .

Project rainbow as it is called is canceled classified as some say beyond top secret  but as legend has it the Navy hasn't sunk the experiment quite deeply enough a shadowy figure would slip through all their elaborate security precautions to tell the tale of the Philadelphia Experiment

A we continue the Navy's alleged secret is exposed in a legendary book just one revelation among many.  these three writers solved all the mysteries of the universe they talked about modes and methods of travel used by UFO as they talked about the behavior and ethos of them beings the man these outer spacecraft . 

Elsewhere in the world in 1943 in Virginia the Pentagon then the world's largest office building was completed after only 16 months of construction in Germany where there was a wartime shortage of morphine scientists developed methadone as a synthetic painkiller and across the u.s. federal income taxes were withheld from the paychecks of American workers for the first time

How the story of the Philadelphia Experiment originates is a legend in its own right involving UFOs visionary naval officers and the curious life and mysterious death of Morris Cain Jessup.  ] Jessop is a scientist and author one of the early investigators into the paranormal he was always curious about unexplained things and he always thought that science should take a look at the exceptions and the erratic sigh think he used to call them that the things that didn't fit the theories

In 1955 he publishes the case for the UFO. the book is a brave attempt to legitimize a subject that has already been corrupted by pulp magazines and B movies.  now you have to understand that the time period just have decided to become interested in UFOs was possibly the worst possible time to become involved in UFOs for any reason the government cracked down tremendously on any quote believers

This official scorn disguises a real government interest reports are coming in from military pilots of flying objects no one can explain  I had a man working for me a lieutenant by the name of Bill ditch who was one of our real bright ones he was by himself and he said he looked off to the side and he said there was something flying formation on him and he was there for about five or ten minutes and then he said it peeled off he said it was sort of saucer shape and it was glowing slightly

UFO reports from Navy pilots are forwarded to Project Blue Book the official Air Force investigation but the Navy seldom if ever hears a word in return.  we were never able to find out anything from them at all it was a one-way street it was a think as far as we were concerned.  stonewalled by the Air Force some Navy officers begin their own unofficial UFO investigation among them lieutenant commander george hoover and captain sidney Sherby of the office of naval research.

One day in 1955 a mysterious item arrives at onr headquarters that piques the officers interest it comes in a plain manila envelope with a cryptic greeting there was no return address on it the post-office stamp was Seminole Texas and on the backside of it and handwriting was scrawled happy Easter.

Inside the envelope a paperback copy of ma risque Jessup's the case for the UFO its margins are filled with comments in three different colors of ink and apparently three different kinds of handwriting.   the way these people talked and if you read the comments that were scribbled into the book they were talking about being someplace off the surface of the earth aliens if you want to call them that these three writers solved all the mysteries of the universe.

I mean they talked about modes and methods of travel used by UFOs they talked about the behavior and ethos of them beings that the man these outer space craft the writers also claimed knowledge of a top-secret project during World War two to make a warship disappear.  US Navy's force field experiments 1943 October the book reads produced invisibility of ship and crew fearsome results so terrifying fortunately halt further research.

it is the first mention of what's come to be known as the Philadelphia Experiment the birth of a legend.  ] the Navy officers are intrigued by the book they summoned Morris Jessup - all in our headquarters to see if the author can shed any light on its origins Jessup recognizes some of the handwriting in the book strangely he has also received letters in that same unmistakable hand signed by a man who identifies himself as a former Merchant Marine Carlos a yin day

The writing style of Carlos E and a fairly screamed crackpot and yet maybe the man was simply exaggerating something he had seen or heard about.  ever since people have been mystified by the apparent top-level military interest in a book about UFOs 

 

Morris K Jessup for one is left shaking his head over the Navy's interest he is said to begin his own investigation into the Philadelphia Experiment by 1959 he has reportedly made a breakthrough and is about to share his discovery with a colleague named dr. Manson Valentine.

In April of 1959 Morris jessa called up his friend dr. Valentine and said I think I found something in regards to the Philadelphia Experiment that I've been researching and I really want to show you the what I would have found they made an appointment to have dinner and go over the go over his research the following day

On the next day however April 20th 1959 Jessup's car is discovered in a park in Coral Gables Florida its engine is still running a hose stretches from the exhaust pipe to inside the car inside is Mars K Jessup still breathing though he soon expires from carbon monoxide poisoning . an apparent suicide or is it it's absolutely interesting that instead of arriving dr. Valentine's house II instead chose to go to a park and allegedly commit suicide

Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico form the general perimeter of the Bermuda Triangle, which is located in the western North Atlantic Ocean. Numerous ships and aircraft are said to have vanished in the Bermuda Triangle, an area that is mysterious and the subject of numerous theories that try to explain the phenomenon. Despite the many conspiracies surrounding the Bermuda Triangle, scientific data indicates that there is no appreciable difference in the amount of recorded events occurring in this area compared to other heavily populated ocean regions.

Recent research also suggests that rather than paranormal or alien activities, many of the instances connected to the Bermuda Triangle were caused by human error, natural disasters, or technical failures. Some ideas contend that supernatural entities like sea monsters, UFOs, or a hidden undersea base reside in the Bermuda Triangle. Such statements, however, are unfounded and rejected by the scientific community. In general, those who are intrigued by mysteries and inexplicable phenomena continue to be interested in the Bermuda Triangle.

But rather than depending on conjecture or hearsay, it's crucial to approach such hypotheses with a skeptical and logical perspective. It is important to note that, aside from the risks posed by natural disasters and human error, the Bermuda Triangle does not offer any substantial threats to ships or airplanes

Study Case
Philippe Rouge's responsibility as the wrecks' custodian is to track and keep an eye on all of the historic shipwrecks that have occurred in Bermuda; in reality, up to 300 ships may have perished in these waters.

Why have so many ships sunk in these pristine waters so close to shore? Philippe once went to a number of wrecks that could be able to provide some light on this subject. First, the Mary Celestia, an iron hold steamship used to transport supplies during the American Civil War, departed Bermuda, traveled along the south shore, and met her end precisely here, which is a really odd occurrence given that we are just about 800 meters from the shore and that it occurred on a flat, quiet day
 .

Mystery Has Been Solved?
How many of the unsettling tales of ships and airplanes going missing in the Bermuda Triangle have been debunked? Have you heard that between Florida Commonwealth and Bermuda, there is a sizable space in the Atlantic Ocean? This area is well-known for its strange phenomena

This area is regarded as the "devil's triangle" because of the enormous number of ships and planes that have vanished there. Some of the fabled disappearances occurred under mysterious and unexplained circumstances, and some of the ships and planes have never been located. There have been a variety of hypotheses on why everything happens in that area, ranging from water spouts to aliens and even sea monsters, but they were merely theories. The first accounts date back to 1945, when five American torpedo bombers and a plane sent to look for them all vanished without a trace.

Since that time, more than a thousand ships and another 75 planes have been lost. The most recent tragedy occurred in 2015 when the cargo ship El Faro vanished in this area. El Faro was an American ship that was sailing from Florida to Puerto Rico when it vanished from radar on October 1 and was discovered at sea on October 31.

Another significant incident occurred on June 20, 2005, when the first Piper PA airplane disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle with three people on board. A second incident of a similar nature occurred on April 10, 2007, when a second Piper PA airplane vanished near Bury Island with just the pilot and no other passengers.

There have been a few minor incidents as well. In 1967, Buraq, who owns a well-known hotel, and his father traveled along Miami's shoreline in a luxury cabin cruiser called the shore guard to report that their boat had hit something and requested towing. When the guard arrived at the scene after 20 minutes, they were unable to locate anyone, and the boat and its crew were left on the water. Neither plane has ever been found.

When examining satellite weather photographs of this notorious area, a group of American researchers from the University of Colorado discovered a number of peculiar hexagonal clouds on them. The Bermuda Triangle riddle may have finally been solved, at least according to a science channel broadcast, according to the meteorologists' hypothesis that these clouds might behave like actual air bombs.

Clouds don't typically form straight edges, but judging from the satellite images, the Bermuda Triangle is an exception to this rule. It is thought that they are the primary cause of the deadly air blasts that can easily exceed 170 miles per hour; these hurricane-force winds literally blow up the air and can generate waves that are more than 45 feet in length; no ship can survive such a storm, and no aircraft can withstand such a wind.

Scientists from all around the world are attempting to determine what the causes of such anomalies are as a result of the publication of this theory.

Do you possess any other Bermuda Triangle lore?
Do you have an other explanation for all those anomalies?

Have you ever noticed what appears to be a mirage when gazing off into the distance? If that's the case, you might have seen a Fata Morgana, an optical phenomenon that can produce some absolutely amazing illusions.

When light travels through layers of the atmosphere with different temperatures, it creates a complex type of mirage called a fata morgana. It is possible for things to occasionally appear lengthened, raised, or even inverted due to the way this temperature difference bends light and causes visual distortions. Because of its renowned ability to produce mirages of fairy tale castles and cities,

Fata Morgana was given the name Morgana le Fay in honor of the Arthurian sorceress. The Fata Morgana is an optical illusion that has been extensively studied and explained scientifically, despite its mystical name. In his writings, W.G. Rees supplied a more thorough explanation of the phenomenon to account for fictitious islands and ships. He also provided a scientific explanation for Fata Morgana.

Similar effects are also seen near the sea's surface, where various air layers' temperatures cause light to refract and create mirages.The optical illusion known as "Fata Morgana" is brought on by light refraction across layers of the Earth's atmosphere that have different temperatures. Because of this phenomena, things may appear extended or inverted, producing some of the most remarkable mirages.

The complex type of mirage known as Fata Morgana, which was named after the Arthurian sorceress Morgana le Fay, has been extensively studied and scientifically explained. It is important to keep in mind that Fata Morgana might have negative effects, especially on transportation and navigation. For the safety of navigation and transportation, a thorough understanding and identification of Fata Morgana can be essential.

In addition to being a fascinating optical illusion, Fata Morgana can also be dangerous, therefore it's crucial to be aware of it. Additionally, Fata Morgana can alter perception, making it difficult to cross bridges or other bodies of water.

To avoid any potentially fatal mishaps brought on by Fata Morgana, it is essential to rely on reliable weather forecasts and other navigational resources. In conclusion, Fata Morgana is a serious phenomenon that necessitates our attention and comprehension for safe navigation and transportation. It is an optical illusion that may conjure up some of the most stunning sights of fairytale castles and towns.

The complex type of mirage known as Fata Morgana, which takes its name from the Arthurian sorceress Morgana le Fay, is produced when light is refracted across layers of the atmosphere that have different temperatures. It is crucial to be able to spot the mirage and be aware of any potential dangers it poses in order to ensure safe navigation along the roads, bodies of water, and other transport routes impacted by the Fata Morgana.

Since Fata Morgana can alter vision and make navigation difficult, a precise understanding and identification of it might be essential for transportation and navigation safety. To avoid any potentially catastrophic mishaps brought on by Fata Morgana, it is crucial to rely on reliable weather predictions and navigational equipment. Inverted optics, such as the invisibility cloaks and negative refraction lenses described by Pendry, Schurig, and others employing transformational optics, are very intriguing and have the potential to have an impact on a variety of industries.

It can be difficult to assess visual perception in situations with dark surroundings and glare sources, especially when performing tasks like sailing or flying with night vision.

Haloes, glare, starburst effects, and other elements that may hinder our capacity to clearly comprehend our environment must therefore be taken into account and addressed. In conclusion, optical illusions are fascinating and intricate phenomena that can seriously compromise the safety of navigation and transportation.

To ensure safe navigation and transportation, it is crucial to have a complete awareness of these phenomena and the possible risks they may pose. Because Fata Morgana can alter perception and make it difficult to navigate through roads, waterways, and other transport routes affected by this phenomenon, a precise understanding and identification of this phenomenon can be essential for transportation and navigation safety.

The effect of glare and halo on visual perception is another crucial issue that must be taken into account, especially for activities like sailing and nighttime driving.

This image surfaced out of China and it looks like their city is floating in the clouds. Of course, we can't verify if the video is real or not, but we have seen things like this before.

This is a type of superior mirage called a Fata Morgana, where air temperature near the surface is actually cooler than the air above. It can make objects appear like they are stacked on top of each other, or in this case, like a city floating in the clouds.

WHAT IS FATA MORGANA

Fata Morgana: Understanding the Optical Illusion of Mirages Fata Morgana: Understanding the Optical Illusion of Mirages. Fata Morgana: Understanding the Optical Illusion of Mirages Have you ever looked out into the distance and seen something that looks like a mirage? If so, you may have witnessed a Fata Morgana, an optical phenomenon that can create some truly extraordinary illusions.

A Fata Morgana is a complex form of mirage that occurs when light passes through layers of varying temperatures in the Earth's atmosphere. This temperature gradient bends the light and creates visual distortions, sometimes causing objects to appear elongated, elevated or even inverted.

Fata Morgana is named after the Arthurian sorceress Morgana le Fay because it can famously conjure mirages of fairy tale castles and cities. Despite its mystical name, the Fata Morgana is a well-documented and scientifically explained optical illusion. W.G. Rees provided a scientific explanation for Fata Morgana in his papers, where he offered a better understanding of the phenomenon to account for imagined islands and ships.

Similar effects can also be observed at the surface of the sea where layers of air with different temperatures cause light to refract and produce mirages. Fata Morgana is an optical illusion caused by light refraction through layers of varying temperatures in the Earth's atmosphere.

This phenomenon can create some of the most extraordinary mirages, making objects appear elongated or inverted. Named after the Arthurian sorceress Morgana le Fay, Fata Morgana is a complex form of mirage that has been widely documented and scientifically explained.

It is essential to note that Fata Morgana can have serious consequences, particularly for transportation and navigation. Accurate understanding and identification of Fata Morgana can be crucial for transportation and navigation safety. It's important to be aware of Fata Morgana not only due to its intriguing nature as an optical illusion but also because of the potential hazards it poses

CONCLUSION

The same phenomenon happens when you're driving in your car on a hot day and you see what appears to be water or something liquid on the road in the distance, or you've heard of people walking through the desert and they see water in the distance, and then once you get closer, it disappears.

Light waves travel through the atmosphere from the sun straight to your eye. But they actually travel through the atmosphere at different speeds. A mirage occurs when the temperature on the ground is hotter than the air above.

When light travels through the cooler air into that warmer air near the ground, the light is refracted or bent, and what your eye is seeing is not that U shaped bend, but an illusion.

With so many mountain, ranges and vast terrains over which clouds can form. It's no surprise that China has far more than its fair. Share of unusual, Sky formations, but this one is leagues beyond the others. It looked as if there was a castle set above the clouds because of the interaction between their formation and the Shadows that were being cast over them.

And at first, you might think this was some elaborate forgery. It's actually, though, a type of optical illusion called a fata Morgana mentioned above, which occurs when A well defined area of warm air on top of a layer of much cooler air.

This causes light to refract in an unusual way and can result in the appearance of images that are stacked on top of each other like this, the clouds haven't actually formed a castle. But from a distance, what you're seeing is the outline of a city appearing, much higher in the sky than it truly is  (Taken from several resources )

Pontianak Sebuah foto atau gambar yang diambil dari salah satu dari begitu banyak saluran video youtube di internet yang dengan jelas menunjukkan gambar yang membentuk sesuatu yang terlihat seperti kota atau kastil yang mengambang di awan. Lihatlah foto yang diambil dari CNN di bawah ini:

Kota terapung di awan: Palsu atau fatamorgana?
Foto diambil dari Saluran Youtube CNN

Foto yang membentuk seperti sebuah kastil atau kota yang mengambang di atas awan di China  dan Tentu saja, pada awalnya banyak yang tidak dapat memverifikasi apakah foto yang diambil dari sebuah video itu asli atau tidak, tetapi kitapernah melihat hal seperti ini sebelumnya. Ini adalah jenis fatamorgana superior yang disebut Fata Morgana, dimana suhu udara di dekat permukaan sebenarnya lebih dingin daripada udara di atasnya. Itu dapat membuat objek tampak seperti ditumpuk satu sama lain, atau dalam hal ini, seperti kota yang mengambang di awan.

APA ITU FATA MORGANA

Fata Morgana: Memahami Ilusi Optik Mirage Fata Morgana: Memahami Ilusi Optik Mirage. Fata Morgana: Memahami Ilusi Optik Mirage Pernahkah Anda melihat ke kejauhan dan melihat sesuatu yang tampak seperti fatamorgana? Jika demikian, Anda mungkin pernah menyaksikan Fata Morgana, sebuah fenomena optik yang dapat menciptakan ilusi yang benar-benar luar biasa.

Fata Morgana adalah bentuk fatamorgana kompleks yang terjadi ketika cahaya melewati lapisan dengan suhu yang berbeda-beda di atmosfer bumi. Gradien suhu ini membelokkan cahaya dan menciptakan distorsi visual, terkadang menyebabkan objek tampak memanjang, terangkat, atau bahkan terbalik.

Fata Morgana dinamai penyihir Arthurian Morgana le Fay karena terkenal dapat menyulap fatamorgana kastil dan kota dongeng. Terlepas dari nama mistisnya, Fata Morgana adalah ilusi optik yang terdokumentasi dengan baik dan dijelaskan secara ilmiah. W.G. Rees memberikan penjelasan ilmiah untuk Fata Morgana dalam makalahnya, di mana dia menawarkan pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang fenomena tersebut untuk menjelaskan pulau dan kapal imajiner.

Ilustrasi diambil dari Top Fives Youtube Channel

Efek serupa juga dapat diamati di permukaan laut di mana lapisan udara dengan suhu berbeda menyebabkan cahaya membiaskan dan menghasilkan fatamorgana. Fata Morgana adalah ilusi optik yang disebabkan oleh pembiasan cahaya melalui lapisan suhu yang bervariasi di atmosfer bumi.

Fenomena ini dapat menciptakan beberapa fatamorgana yang paling luar biasa, membuat objek tampak memanjang atau terbalik. Dinamakan setelah penyihir Arthurian Morgana le Fay, Fata Morgana adalah bentuk fatamorgana kompleks yang telah didokumentasikan secara luas dan dijelaskan secara ilmiah.

Penting untuk dicatat bahwa Fata Morgana dapat menimbulkan konsekuensi yang serius, terutama untuk transportasi dan navigasi. Pemahaman dan identifikasi Fata Morgana yang akurat dapat menjadi sangat penting untuk keselamatan transportasi dan navigasi. Penting untuk menyadari Fata Morgana tidak hanya karena sifatnya yang menarik sebagai ilusi optik, tetapi juga karena potensi bahaya yang ditimbulkannya.

KESIMPULAN

Fenomena yang sama terjadi ketika Anda sedang mengemudikan mobil Anda pada hari yang panas dan Anda melihat sesuatu yang tampak seperti air atau sesuatu yang cair di jalan di kejauhan, atau Anda pernah mendengar orang berjalan melewati padang pasir dan mereka melihat air masuk. jarak, dan kemudian begitu Anda semakin dekat, itu menghilang.

Gelombang cahaya berjalan melalui atmosfer dari matahari langsung ke mata Anda. Tapi sebenarnya mereka melakukan perjalanan melalui atmosfer dengan kecepatan berbeda. Fatamorgana terjadi ketika suhu di permukaan tanah lebih panas daripada udara di atasnya.

Saat cahaya bergerak melalui udara yang lebih dingin ke udara yang lebih hangat di dekat tanah, cahayanya dibiaskan atau dibelokkan, dan yang dilihat mata Anda bukanlah tikungan berbentuk U itu, melainkan ilusi.

Dengan begitu banyak gunung, pegunungan, dan dataran luas di mana awan dapat terbentuk. Tidak mengherankan jika China memiliki lebih dari sekedar adil. Bagian yang tidak biasa, formasi Langit, tapi yang satu ini jauh melebihi yang lain. Sepertinya ada kastil yang terletak di atas awan karena interaksi antara formasi mereka dan Bayangan yang dilemparkan ke atas mereka.

Dan pada awalnya, Anda mungkin mengira ini adalah pemalsuan yang rumit. Sebenarnya, ini adalah jenis ilusi optik yang disebut fatamorgana yang disebutkan di atas, yang terjadi ketika area udara hangat yang terdefinisi dengan baik berada di atas lapisan udara yang jauh lebih dingin.

Hal ini menyebabkan cahaya dibiaskan dengan cara yang tidak biasa dan dapat mengakibatkan munculnya gambar yang ditumpuk satu sama lain seperti ini, awan belum benar-benar membentuk kastil. Namun dari kejauhan, yang Anda lihat adalah garis besar kota yang muncul, jauh lebih tinggi di langit daripada yang sebenarnya (Diambil dari beberapa sumber )
