Crop circles or circular pattern formed on agricultural land could make a splashy people of Bantul and Yogyakarta in early 2011. They believe that the circle pattern is not man made. But some people suspect that the crop cirele it was the work of a student prankster.
Richard Taylor, Director of the Materials Science Institute at the University of Oregon, reveals that the physics is behind the secret of making crop circles. Taylor uses an objective and serious perspective on the phenomenon that is considered as a topic outside the scientific understanding of it.
When the global phenomenon of crop circles grow in line with advances in science and technology, he noted how the physics and art collaborate to produce the pattern of crop circles are amazing and more spectacular, but still retain the mystery of the circle pattern.
Crop circle design today is much more complicated than the previous design, which shows 2.000 a different form of crop circles. Mathematical analysis reveals the use of construction lines, invisible, which is used to design the patterns.
According to Taylor, the science of physics has the potential to answer the question. There is the possibility of crop circles of the artists using the global positioning system (GPS), laser and microwave in addition to creating their patterns, get rid of the rope, wooden planks, and the chairs are commonly used to make crop circles.
Microwaves can be used to make rice stem gandung or fall in a horizontal position. This technique can explain the speed and efficiency of the artist as well as exceptional detail shown some crop circles.
There is even a research team claims to be able to reproduce the complicated damage seen in crop circle plants by using a handheld magnetron taken from a microwave and a 12V battery.
"Artists crop circles will not reveal their secrets away," Taylor said. "They will continue the legacy of this science-oriented art." *** [SCIENCEDAILY | INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS | KORAN TEMPO 3609]
