附prep原文 In the 1980's, astronomer Bohdan Paczynski proposed a way of determining whether the enormous dark halo constituting the outermost part of the Milky Way galaxy is composed of MACHO's (massive compact halo objects), which are astronomical objects too dim to be visible.Paczynski reasoned that if MACHO's make up this halo, a MACHO would occasionally drift in front of a star in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a bright galaxy near the Milky Way.The gravity of a MACHO that had so drifted, astronomers agree, would cause the star's light rays, which would otherwise diverge, to bend together so that, as observed from Earth, the star would temporarily appear to brighten, a process known as microlensing.Because many individual stars are of intrinsically variable brightness, some astronomers have contended that the brightening of intrinsically variable stars can be mistaken for microlensing.However, whereas the different colors of light emitted by an intrinsically variable star are affected differently when the star brightens, all of a star's colors are equally affected by microlensing.Thus, if a MACHO magnifies a star's red light tenfold, it will do the same to the star's blue light and yellow light.Moreover, it is highly unlikely that a star in the Large Magellanic Cloud will undergo microlensing more than once, because the chance that a second MACHO would pass in front of exactly the same star is minuscule.
还有是一个instinct的。说人们在潜意识里累计经验,熟练的人最后凭feeling就能把事做好,不需要复杂的决策树。然后说熟练的卡车司机仅凭听觉等感官就能发现这车哪里坏了。让draw a conclusion。一个选项似乎是卡车司机修车是凭的感觉。另一个似乎是卡车司机修车不需要有意识地做judgement。我选的前者。
