Ngo-2002, amadoda amabili ahlasela u-Jason Padgett - umdayisi wefenisha waseTacoma, eWashington, owayenesithakazelo esincane kakhulu ezifundweni - ngaphandle kwebha ye-karaoke, emshiya ephazamisekile kakhulu kanye nenkinga yokucindezeleka kwangemva kokuhlukumezeka. Kodwa lesi sigameko siphinde saguqula uPadgett waba ungqondongqondo wezibalo obona umhlaba nge-lens yejometri.
Icala Elixakile likaJason Padgett
Ngo-September 2002, amadoda amabili ahlasela ngonya u-Jason Padgett ngaphandle kwe-karaoke bar, emshiya ebambe ongezansi kanye nesifo sokucindezeleka kwangemva kokuhlukumezeka. Kodwa lesi sigameko savula umnyango ocashile engqondweni kaPadgett, njengoba ephenduka ungqondongqondo wezibalo okwazi ukubona umhlaba nge-lens yejometri.
UPadgett, umthengisi wefenisha waseTacoma, eWashington, owayengenandaba kangako nezifundiswa, wakhulisa ikhono lokubona ngeso lengqondo izinto eziyinkimbinkimbi zezibalo kanye nemiqondo ye-physics ngokunembile. Ukulimala, yize kukubi, kubonakala sengathi kuvule ingxenye yobuchopho bakhe okwenza konke emhlabeni wakhe kubonakale kunesakhiwo sezibalo.
Manje useyakwazi ukubona ukwakheka nama-engeli kuyo yonke indawo empilweni yangempela - kusuka ku-geometry yothingo lwenkosazana, kuye ezingxenyeni zamanzi ezigeleza ngomsele, okuyinto enhle impela, ngokusho kukaPadgett.
UPadgett, okwathi ngo-2014, washicilela incwadi ekhumbula umlando noMaureen Seaberg “Ushaywe nguGenius” ingenye yesethi eyivelakancane yabantu abane-savant syndrome abayitholayo, lapho umuntu ovamile eba namakhono amangalisayo ngemva kokulimala kanzima noma isifo. Abanye abantu sebethuthukise amakhono amangalisayo omculo noma obuciko, kodwa bambalwa abantu abathole amakhono ezibalo afana nekaPadgett.
Manje, abacwaningi bathole ukuthi iziphi izingxenye zobuchopho bendoda ezifakwe kabusha ukuze zivunyelwe amakhono anjalo, futhi okutholakele kusikisela ukuthi amakhono anjalo angalele kuzo zonke izingqondo zomuntu.
Nakhu Okwehlele uJason Padgett
Ngaphambi kokulimala, uPadgett wayengumthengisi wefenisha owayengakhathaleli lutho ngaphandle kokuya emicimbini nokujaha amantombazane. Wayengazange athuthuke ngaphezu kwe-pre-algebra ezifundweni zakhe zezibalo. UPadgett uthe, wayekopela kukho konke, futhi akazange aqhekeze nencwadi. Ngemuva kwalokho ubusuku obulodwa obumnandi bamguqula unomphela.
UPadgett ukhumbula ekhishwa okwesikhashana futhi wabona ukukhanya okukhanyayo. Abafana ababili baqala ukumshaya, bamkhahlela ekhanda ngesikhathi ezama ukulwa naye. Kamuva ngalobo busuku, odokotela bathola ukuthi uPadgett unesifo sokudlikizela okunzima nesinso esopha, base bemthumela ekhaya nemithi yezinhlungu, esho.
Kungekudala ngemuva kokuhlaselwa, uPadgett wahlushwa PTSD nokukhathazeka komphakathi okuqeda amandla. Kodwa ngasikhathi sinye, wabona ukuthi konke kubukeka kwehlukile. Uchaza umbono wakhe ngokuthi "amafreyimu wezithombe ahlukanisiwe anomugqa oxhumanayo, kodwa ngejubane langempela, futhi yonke into inokubukeka kwamaphikseli."
UPadgett wayenemidwebo eyinkulungwane noma ngaphezulu yemibuthano, ama-fractal, konke ukwakheka akwazi ukudweba. Kwakuwukuphela kwendlela ayengaphatha ngayo ukuxhumana ngempumelelo lokho ayekubona.
UPadgett wayekholelwa ukuthi imidwebo yakhe "ibiphethe ukhiye wendawo yonke" futhi ibaluleke kakhulu kangangoba wayedinga ukuyithatha yonke indawo ahambe nayo. Ngenkathi esohambweni olungavamile ngelinye ilanga, wathintwa yindoda eyayiqaphele uPadgett ngemidwebo yakhe yamtshela ukuthi ibukeka njengezibalo.
"Ngizama ukuchaza ukwakheka okuhlukile kwesikhathi sesikhala kususelwa kubude bePlanck (iyunithi encane yokukala eyenziwe ngusosayensi uMax Planck) nezimbobo ezimnyama ze-quantum," UPadgett wamtshela. Kuvele ukuthi le ndoda ibingusosayensi futhi yaqaphela ukuthi uPadgett wayedweba izibalo ezisezingeni eliphakeme. Wamnxusa ukuthi athathe isigaba sezibalo, okwaholela ukuthi uPadgett abhalise ekolishi lomphakathi, lapho aqala khona ukufunda ulimi aludingayo ukuchaza ukukhathazeka kwakhe.
UPadgett akawuthandi umqondo wokungapheli, ngoba ubona konke ukwakheka njengokuqedwa kokwakhiwa kwamayunithi amancane namancane asondela kulokho ososayensi abakubiza njengobude bePlanck, okucatshangwa ukuthi ubude obufushane kakhulu obulinganiswayo.
Abahlaseli Ababili
La madoda amabili amhlasela ngalobusuku obuyingozi bangoSepthemba awakaze alahlwe yicala yize uPadgett ebakhomba futhi ecindezela amacala. Eminyakeni ethile kamuva, nokho, enye yala madoda, uBrady Simmons, wabhalela uPadgett ecela uxolo ngenkathi eselashwa imishanguzo kadokotela ngemuva kokuzama ukuzibulala. Ngomqondo othile, izimpilo ezimbili zashintshwa eminyakeni eyalandela ukuhlaselwa.
