polarization

Couldn't it be the case that the human eye is just sensitive to the artifacts of a polarization filter?

It doesn't explain why thin slits cause polarization (and gives you a probably somewhat intuitive but definitely very wrong explanation for why bouncing photons off a surface causes polarization, so be careful.).

The destabilization and polarization of the Middle East has nothing to do with Israel.

It must be using some alternative polarization even though it's a regular TFT screen.

The article only describes linearly polarization.

A thin slit cause polarization the same way only one plane of oscillation is possible for a rope passing through a slit.

We currently live in a world of political polarization, but worse, one's affinity towards those poles has material impact on one's life.

And the complete destabilization and polarization of the region due to what happened?

You can tell by the polarization of responses here on HN that you guys are truly on to something (not sure what though!).

I have long noticed this effect however I had no clue I was seeing polarization.

More recently, perhaps within the past year or two, I've been seeing online a polarization and evaporative cooling effect in action.

While it has long been possible to selectively filter light according to its color or polarization, selectivity based on the direction of propagation has remained elusive.

How about "There are too many shitty newsletters out there." Seriously, how is this not just vapid polarization to get subscribers.

If calling things "racist" is a dream, then so is the sunshine story of blaming everything on "the immigrants" and a "crumbling social fabric." Polarization and naivety are easy, subtlety and deeper understanding are hard.

Polarization means all the cannonballs are spinning round the same axis.

Polarization might be different, but that's something that's only barely perceptible to humans.

Polarization + nepotism => potentially worse results.
