Over the past century, and in particular in the last several decades, human endeavors, from beach development to plastic refuse to poaching, long lines, nets, and even noxious chemicals, including oil, have upped the ante for sea turtles, causing their survival rate to drop to around one percent or less, from each nesting cycle.
Instead, what's much more likely is that these early artists were also making counting marks, maybe like this row of
lines
from Riparo di Za Minic in Sicily, as well as creating stylized representations of things from the world around them.
The front
lines
would turn into an inferno, making it appear as if the earth itself was on fire.
Depending on the attitude and tone of voice behind these lines, they very well may be compliments.
They may also be, though, pointed and attacking
lines.
This slight change of attitude behind the
lines
reveals what we call verbal irony.
As usual in these things, these two
lines
are, in fact, parallel, but you perceive them to bow outwards at their centers.
At the center where those radial
lines
are, it's wider in your visual field than the parts above and below.
It's just a bunch of straight
lines.
And what your brain is going to think this is, is not some
lines
on a page.
All of these objects flow outwards and they leave trails, or blur lines, on your retina.
They put these blur
lines
in their cartoons and it means to your brain: motion.
Now, it's not that in real life you see blur
lines.
It still doesn't explain why you should perceive these straight
lines
as bowed outwards.
So, the question, really, we have to ask is: how do those two vertical
lines
in that first stimulus, how do they change in the next moment were I moving towards the center, that all those optical
lines
are suggesting that I'm moving.
What started off as two parallel lines, in fact, bows outwards at eye level, and doesn't go outwards nearly as much above.
So when you have a stimulus like this, well, your brain has no problem, there's just two vertical
lines
and no cues that there'll be a change in the next moment, so just render it as it is.
Because I've added blur to these optic flow lines, your brain says, "They're probably already moving, that's why they're blurry."
Euclid's version states that, "If a line falls on two other
lines
so that the measure of the two interior angles on the same side of the transversal add up to less than two right angles, then the
lines
eventually intersect on that side, and therefore are not parallel."
The main difference depends on the curvature of the surface upon which the
lines
are constructed.
The diameter and radius are easy, they're just straight
lines
you can measure with a ruler.
When we watch a film or a play, we know that the actors probably learned their
lines
from a script, which essentially tells them what to say and when to say it.
Music is written on five parallel
lines
that go across the page.
These five
lines
are called a staff, and a staff operates on two axes: up and down and left to right.
Well, for example, if you played an F and then played another F higher or lower on the piano, you'd notice that they sound pretty similar compared to, say, a B. Going back to the staff, every line and every space between two
lines
represents a separate pitch.
If we put a note on one of these
lines
or one of these spaces, we're telling a performer to play that pitch.
But there are obviously many, many more pitches than the nine that these
lines
and spaces gives us.
If we want to play notes that aren't on the staff, we kind of cheat and draw extra little
lines
called ledger
lines
and place the notes on them.
If we have to draw so many ledger
lines
that it gets confusing, then we need to change to a different clef.
You might have noticed that across the length of a staff, there are little
lines
dividing it into small sections.
