  2. Insect cognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_Cognition

    Flies with impaired mushroom bodies cannot form an odour association [31] and cockroaches with impaired mushroom bodies cannot make use of spatial information to form memories about locations. [32] Electrophysiological underpinnings of the cognition in different parts of the insect brain can be studied by various techniques including in vivo ...

  3. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    Time dilation was used in the Doctor Who episodes "World Enough and Time" and "The Doctor Falls", which take place on a spaceship in the vicinity of a black hole. Due to the immense gravitational pull of the black hole and the ship's length (400 miles), time moves faster at one end than the other.

  4. Time perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_perception

    The most well-known version of this illusion is known as the stopped-clock illusion, wherein a subject's first impression of the second-hand movement of an analog clock, subsequent to one's directed attention (i.e., saccade) to the clock, is the perception of a slower-than-normal second-hand movement rate (the second-hand of the clock may ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly

    Diptera is a large order containing more than 150,000 species including horse-flies, [a] crane flies, hoverflies, mosquitoes and others. Flies have a mobile head, with a pair of large compound eyes, and mouthparts designed for piercing and sucking (mosquitoes, black flies and robber flies), or for lapping and sucking in the other groups. Their ...

  6. Insect physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_physiology

    An insect uses its digestive system to extract nutrients and other substances from the food it consumes. [3]Most of this food is ingested in the form of macromolecules and other complex substances (such as proteins, polysaccharides, fats, and nucleic acids) which must be broken down by catabolic reactions into smaller molecules (i.e. amino acids, simple sugars, etc.) before being used by cells ...

    Relative velocity time dilation is where time moves slower as you move faster. The classic example of this is the twin scenario . One twin blasts off in a spaceship traveling close to the speed of ...

  9. Insect flight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_flight

    The force component normal to the direction of the flow relative to the wing is called lift (L), and the force component in the opposite direction of the flow is drag (D). At the Reynolds numbers considered here, an appropriate force unit is 1/2(ρU 2 S), where ρ is the density of the fluid, S the wing area, and U the wing speed.
