Sonar

Bats are associated with the phrase, “Guardians of the Night” yet have horrible eyesight in the evening. To navigate after dark, bats use echolocation. Echolocation is the act of using the reverberation of a sound transmitted out of the body to detect objects in the surrounding area. Scientist for many years believed animals only had this ability. Due to human brains tending to suppress the frequency of echoes. This capability to retrieve the echo of a sound one transmitted has been perceived to…

an example, British naval officers underestimated the effectiveness a subsurface threat may offer, and also relied on the restrictions placed on this type of warfare within the postwar treaties . Therefore the use of the submarine and associated sonar technology was not embraced until British commerce was being preyed upon by the German U-boat threat. Finally, the phrase, “the bombers will always get through” may best represent the attitude of senior leadership within the RAF . Consequently,…

Regarding the relationship between the body and the mind, people cannot avoid two important philosophy concepts:, Physicalism, and Functionalism.

illustrate Nagel’s argument that these experiences cannot be objectively understood? Nagel states objective as en-soi which is french for “in-itself” and is based on facts and measurable quantities.

Simon was seven when he saw ripples in the waters of Loch Ness. Over the next weeks, he filled pad after pad of paper with crayon sketches of inky water and a dinosaur-like creature; gripped with the need to know what it was, exactly, that he saw. Tossing around theories of animals, living and extinct alike, did nothing to answer the query. During a skeptical phase two years later, Simon convinced himself that the Loch Ness Monster was nothing but a tree trunk floating on the loch. Moreover,…

Sound is just a pressure wave moving through a medium, a vibration. The first use of sound waves in medicine started with the SONAR technology that was utilized in the second world war to monitors surrounding sea of threats such as enemy submarines. This technology gave us eyes into places that we normally couldn’t see. In the medical field, this includes the very relevant ultrasound…

The lecturer talks about strange sounds that Russian submarine crews called quackers. She contradicts each theory of the reading, saying that they have certain problems. First, the theory that suggests that the strange noises were calls of ocra whales during a courtship ritual. The lecturer refutes this point by saying that this theory is highly unlikely, because the ocra whales lived near the surface of the ocean and the submarines cannot be able to detect in the deep ocean. So, what is state…

The mind body problem remains a problem in philosophy of mind and philosophy of science. What is the association amongst the physical domain and the mind or consciousness? Is the mind and body one substance as monism disputes? Alternatively, are the mind and body separate as dualism claims? These contrasting doctrines (monism and dualism) have come to an impasse many times. In an essay called What it is Like to be a Bat, the philosopher Thomas Nagel offers a thought experiment that materialist…
