那些超脱尘世的麦田怪圈也许不是什么外星人所引起的。 相反的, 从物理的角度认为: 一项来自“物理世界”网站的报告就指出哪些形状各异的麦田圈可能是由地表的微波、激光和GPS造成的。 或许！
在20世纪末期， 就有超过逾万次的报道有关这些麦田圈的发现。它们通常被视为是超自然活动、 人们的恶作剧乃至于恶劣天气——在某些情况下, 甚至有可能是一些小袋鼠的所为 （有关方面还陆续有来）。
进一步催化这些神秘现象的是这些设计工作一般都是在夜晚里进行和完成的——往往被某些人戏称为是火星人的杰作。 直到1991年, 终于有第一个恶作剧者承认创造了至少部分的麦田圈并归因于不明飞行物的阴谋。让科学家感到困惑的是试图解释这些艺术品是怎样在通常只用一晚的时间做成并没有留下任何的斧凿之痕！
这个问题导致俄勒冈大学的研究员理查德·泰勒排除了至少一些传统的解释工具所涉及的有关麦田圈的成因的解释。 泰勒认为, 在在现代, 一些支架和绳索（用以支撑一些攀缘植物）, 甚至是长方的凳子从一个地方跳到到另一个地方而不被发觉, 是很难造成这种在短时间内就出现的成果的。
相反的, 他认为近代的麦田圈制造者应是使用了高科技产品如GPS来监测圈子形状和磁电管(用电、 磁产生高热的仪器)使秸秆以高速度的倒坍。
这个推测能被证实吗? 未必——至少目前为止还没有哪个创造者站出来为这些创作负责或揭示有关的创作技巧。 不过， Matin Durrani——“物理世界”的编辑解释说， 至少泰勒给了我们一个解释, 而不用联想到外星生命的产物。 “泰勒只是突现了作为一个好的科学家应有的态度——谨慎的审查和批判所有有关麦田圈的形成的证据和论述， 并避免掉入不明飞行物，阴谋论者甚至于外星智慧生命等等说法的陷阱,” Durrani写道。
平心而论， 一些麦田圈的成因应有一个公平合理的解释。 哈利波特的“玉米迷宫”是英国约克郡的一位农夫的所谓， 而不是“小绿人”！
与此同时, 一些在澳大利亚的罂粟田的场主归咎于一些小袋鼠破坏了他们的罂粟田。 的而且确, 那些小袋鼠显然是吃了这些合法种植的“鸦片”, 造成“醉醺醺”的效果， 然后在这些罂粟田里创造他们的“杰作”。
不过， 所有有关这些艺术品是为高空的观测者而设计的揣测并不能掩盖它们的核心特质。 他们， 就一个字： 麦田爱好者～

Those otherworldly crop circles may not have been caused by aliens after all. Instead, think physics: A study in Physics World points to the possibility that the patterns could be caused by Earth-bound microwaves, lasers, and GPS. Maybe.
Formations in fields have been documented more than 10,000 times in the late 20th century. They have been credited to everything from paranormal activity to human hijinks to the weather--and in some cases, even wallabies (more on that later).
Further fueling the mystery is that the farmland designs are done in secret, usually in the dark--and often by jokers who want to make it seem like Martians were at work. It wasn't until 1991 that the first pranksters admitted to have created at least some of the crop circles as a UFO hoax. What's confounded scientists is trying to explain just how the art is done without any marks left by the makers, all typically in just one night.
The question led researcher Richard Taylor of the University of Oregon to rule out at least some traditional explanations of the tools involved in creating the circles. Taylor contends that in the modern age, planks and ropes (to flatten plants) and even bar stools to jump from one area to another undetected, are just too cumbersome to produce results in the comparatively brief period of their creative incubation.
Instead, he argued that latter-day crop-circle auteurs use high-tech gadgets such as GPS monitors to place the shapes and magnetrons (tubes that use electricity and magnetism to generate intense heat) to cause the crop stalks to fall over at high speed.
Can any of this speculation be proven? Not really--at least not until a certified crop-circle fabricator steps forward to claim responsibility and reveal the various tricks of the trade. But as Matin Durrani, editor of Physics World, put it, at least Taylor gives us an explanation that doesn't hinge on the hadiwork of alien life forms. Taylor "is merely trying to act like any good scientist--examining the evidence for the design and construction of crop circles without getting carried away by the side-show of UFOs, hoaxes, and aliens," Durrani writes.
Fair enough. Still, some crop circles have a fairly reasonable explanation. The Harry Potter "maize maze" was designed by a York, England, farmer, not little green men.
Meanwhile, some formations in Australian poppy fields have been blamed on wallabies. Yes, those kangaroo-like animals apparently eat the legally grown opiate, become "high as a kite," and hop around to create their own circle work.
But all the speculation over the origins of these works of art designed for the aerial viewer shouldn't obscure the central nature of their achievement: They are, in a word, crop-tastic. |
