You can detect very small numbers of photons (sometimes a single photon), your eyes don't care about the frame rate. The question is, can you tell the difference between 120FPS and 240FPS

On a computer game you can spot the 240fps because of the intermediate frames when you have visual elements moving very quickly across the screen. It's not because of 'faster eyes' I don't think. Like when you move your

Australia and NZ are also dominated by 330ml beer cans and bottles. Popular beers sell for maybe USD 2.50 a bottle I think? On a side note: I can't remember ever seeing all three South African capital cities listed in a data table like

Science tells us what is true, it does not tell us what to do about it. What to do is up to people - we need to get together and look at the situation and the trade-offs and agree on a way forward. 'Trust the science' is a lame ex
