Interesting Exploration News Recently, a strange thing that happened in Hongze Lake, Jiangsu Province, has become the focus of millions of people, and at 15:40 on August 4, a mirage appeared on the surface of Hongze Lake, and a picture of an ancient architectural complex appeared.
This led many to speculate, and soon a variety of theories emerged, what parallel universes, what space-time confusion, and supernatural video and playback functions.
However, in fact, this is a phenomenon of light refracting in the atmosphere, and on August 6, the ancient city in the mirage has also been found and confirmed in the real world.
In science, mirages are a natural phenomenon, mainly an optical refraction phenomenon caused by uneven atmospheric density.
Whenever summer comes, the evaporation of water in rivers and lakes intensifies, resulting in a large amount of water vapor on the surface of the lake, resulting in a smaller density of air close to the water surface and uneven density
。
This creates a very favorable environment for the refraction of light, and when the refractive index reaches a certain value, the mirage will appear on the surface of the water.
At first, some people thought that the ancient city that emerged in the mirage of Hongze Lake may be the ancient city of Jingzhou in Hubei Province.
However, this statement is actually untenable, because from the straight-line distance, the ancient city of Jingzhou is 600 kilometers away from Hongze Lake in Jiangsu Province.
And the middle of the two places is almost all land, and the light refraction environment does not seem to be true, so this should be unlikely.
Later, it was found that there were also a number of ancient buildings in Laozishan Town, and the location was exactly in line with the refractive environment of optics.
Some people have also paired the architectural appearance in the mirage with the ancient buildings of Laozishan Town, such as The Anhuai Zen Temple, the Bagua Building, the Signal Tower, etc., and sure enough, every building in the mirage can be found in the ancient buildings of Laozishan Town.
Therefore, the ancient buildings that appear in the mirage are not parallel universes, nor are they chaotic in time and space, but a kind of light refraction of the real scene, which belongs to a kind of natural phenomenon.
