Prática de Shadowing: Something Travels Faster than Light - Aprenda a falar inglês com vídeo

Criando lição...
1
Shadows can be faster than light.
2
But nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.
3
Isn't that what Einstein's theory of relativity came down to?
4
Was he wrong?
5
Let's do a thought experiment.
6
Point a flashlight at the moon.
7
Hold your finger into the beam to cast a shadow.
8
Move your finger from left to right.
9
If your flashlight was really powerful, you would see your finger's shadow moving over the moon as fast as it moves across the lens.
10
That shadow is moving faster than the speed of light.
11
How can that be?
12
Well, the trick is that our shadow is not a moving object.
13
That movement is an illusion.
14
The result of following different shadows created by different photons along a certain path.
15
Those photons are physical objects that are indeed traveling to the speed of light.
16
But Einstein's speed limit does not apply to the illusions of movement they can create.
17
Nothing is faster than light is therefore correct.
18
We just have to make sure what we're talking about.
19
But if you ask a ninja, he might still insist that.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
