On the same show that Stan Lee does on super humans, there is yet another episode that catches the eyes of many. One of Stan Lee's characters, Bullseye is is able to use almost any object as a lethal projectile, be it weapons like shuriken and sai or seemingly harmless objects like playing cards and pencils. He is one of Daredevil's chief foes and serves as an antithesis to the hero by showing what one might become when blessed with keener abilities than most. His aim is uncanny, at a nearly preternatural level. This is yet again an example of something most people say this can't or doesn't happen.
When you think about what it takes to pull a weapon, aim using your eyes, hands and mind, pull the trigger and put the gun back. Scientifically, the video mentions that Bob Munden (fastest gun in the world) can pull, draw, and fire than a human can blink which is 3/10th of a second to blink. Pretty fast! Also in the video Bob Munden does two shots in a split second giving it the sound of one shot. Another fascinating part of this is how he aims. This in my mind can be equated to that of a computer. Bob's eyes and hands some how work together like a targeting system programmed with electronics. The helmet systems in helicopters and other equipment have a site that is controlled with the eye and then aims the gun on the piece of equipment. Bob's brain and hands work together to accomplish this making him literally the fastest gun in the world. For a good laugh, watch the video and see Bob get measured with an accelerometer. they have to use an accelerometer because the human eye cannot see this occur. This also makes Bob "super human" with the speeds he hits and with the accuracy. A "Modern Bullseye" if you will
More to come.....
I like this post! But I didn't want to watch the whole 12 minutes, so telling us where to ff to would be helpful.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to see a little more "science" in your explanations of these things. Explaining how an accelerometer works, or something more with neuroscience here would be helpful.
