Thunder and lightning from ancient times hit a man, scared and forced to come up with various myths and legends. Science today sort of figured out what these terrible and yet magnificent celestial discharges, but the mysteries of lightning to the end never been disclosed.
For example, most recently, researchers found that lightning send their blows not only down – to the ground, but also up – to ionosphere, this is the so-called lightning on the contrary, or jets. It is also proved that without lightning the atmosphere of our Earth is simply will disappear, which means that all life on the planet will disappear, so the ancients No wonder they worshiped this natural phenomenon and idolized it.
However, from lightning annually dies on the planet more ten thousand people, as many become crippled for the whole a life. But what’s surprising, some people after touching with celestial discharge not only do not burn out, but also acquire superpowers. And such psychics born of heaven discharges – there are hundreds of lightning children in the world, they suddenly after the “tragedy” gain the ability to heal others, foresee the future, attract metal objects, read minds, levitate and more. True, most often such a miracle happens to people after contact with the so-called ball lightning, the nature of which scientists are not fully understood. There is speculation that this microscopic antimatter that “flies” to Earth from of space.
But lightning is not only one of the amazing and in some ways even natural phenomena dangerous to humans. Recent heavenly discharges up to three hundred thousand volts and with a thermal effect up to thirty thousand degrees that can instantly spread to tens of kilometers, become the object of close attention and serious study by the military who are developing secret climate weapon. Such a weapon (the ability to call and direct lightning) can become much more powerful and dangerous than nuclear. After all, it can’t even be fixed, like a blow from the side the enemy. For example, the discharge of a powerful lightning, which not so long ago incapacitated a whole energy block in one of the Russian A hydroelectric power station can be quite classified as an attack from, say, USA. And at the same time, it could just be a natural phenomenon, like they say, by chance …
But lightning is also a magnificent sight. No coincidence her constantly photographers and videographers shoot. We suggest you look amazing and rarest video shot by Clint Blevins on the beach Miami in the United States when a powerful lightning strike “sets fire” to the surface of the ocean. Note that to remove such an effect it’s very difficult, because even to watch him is the greatest luck. But at the same time, you still need to be a professional in video shooting, because lightning instantly “blinds” the camcorder’s sensors and practically deprives them of the opportunity to set the desired shooting parameters. therefore slow-motion “slow mo” in this case becomes the only way to “catch” this wonderful heavenly phenomenon, which he did Clint Blevins for us.
