“Like most mammals, dogs only have 2 colour detecting cells or cones. This is in contrast to humans, who have 3. Dogs, therefore see a restricted colour spectrum. However, they are not colourblind, instead they see the world in yellow, blue and grey. For dogs, green, yellow and orange are perceived as yellowish, while purple and blue are perceived as blue, and blue-green as grey. As a result, dogs have a hard time recognising a red ball in a green field.”

“Я робив домашні завдання, вчив ієрогліфи й історичні факти й навіть два літа поспіль вів облік черепків та інших знахідок у Середземноморському музеї Стокгольма, який цілком міг би бути моїм місцем роботи, якби я став єгиптологом у Швеції. Я бачив, як наступного літа ті самі люди робили майже ту саму роботу, що й попереднього. Ба більше: вони ходили обідати в той самий час у той самий ресторан, замовляли ту саму їжу, говорили про ті самі єгиптологічні загадки й так само пліткували. Зрештою я зрозумів, що, на мій смак, наука єгиптологія рухається вперед надто повільно. Не такої фахової роботи я для себе хотів. Мені праглося більше захвату й практичної користі для навколишнього світу.”

“Before the “Mathematical Theory of Communication,” a century of common sense and engineering trial and error said that noise—the physical world’s tax on our messages—had to be lived with. And yet Shannon proved that noise could be defeated, that information sent from Point A could be received with perfection at Point B, not just often, but essentially always.”
