Chinese Boy with Ability to See in Pitch Black Stuns Medics
http://www.whydontyoutrythis.com/2013/08/chinese-boy-with-ability-to-se…
"A young Chinese boy who was born with beaming blue eyes has stunned medics with his ability to see in pitch black darkness.
Nong Yousui from Dahua, China has eyes that reflect neon green when light is shined on them. Doctors have studied Nong's amazing eyesight since his dad took him to hospital concerned over his bright blue eyes.
"They told me he would grow out of it and that his eyes would stop glowing and turn black like most Chinese people but they never did", his Dad said.
Nong enjoys playing outside with his schoolmates but experiences discomfort when in bright sunlight, however can see completely clearly in pure darkness.
To test his abilities, a Chinese journalist prepared a set of questionnaires which he was able to finish while sitting in a pitch black room. The tests show Nong can read and write perfectly without any light and can see as clearly as most people do during the day.
According to the World Record Academy (the leading international organization which certify world records), Nong has even set the world record for the first human who can see in the dark.
In animals, night vision is made possible by the existence of a thin layer of cells, called the tapetum lucidum. And like a Siamese cat, Nong's sky-blue eyes flash neon green when illuminated by a flashlight.
Nong's night vision has sparked interest around the world by vision scientists, evolutionary biologists, and genetic engineers. And this is good news for science as we may eventually be able to use genetic technologies to deliberately create such a condition ourselves.
A new and growing generation of extraordinary and gifted children are springing up across our planet."
Thoughts? Real? Fake?
Riddick anyone?
Eat your carrots.
Eating carrots to help you see in the dark is a myth created by the British as an excuse for how they could see German planes so well in the dark, when in reality it was because they had cracked the German code.
Anyway it's not true and that video has been around since '09. http://www.livescience.com/18209-china-cat-eyed-boy-night-vision.html
inb4 Chinese people have eyes? joke.
Haha, in all fairness usually I'm the one on these boards who makes that joke.
I mean it doesn't say that it's NOT true...just that it's exaggerated. Understandable, but still interesting, no?
Love how they label the chinese boy with the word "chinese" instead of just calling him a boy.
I am sure this is 100% bullshit. Glowing eyes.... are you kidding me?? Cats can see very well in the dark, but do their eyes glow? I didnt observe that so far...
I think we're missing the real story here. The mother got knocked out by a European man.
bout time that 4b ppl experiment came up with something besides organic calculators
lol
DON'T LET MAGNETO GET HIM.
Mom has some explaining to do.
Also, damn you evolution.
Preety cool news. Thank for sharing!
maybe the eyes of the chinese kid were just reflecting the glow of the doctors crack pipe... Lord knows
that's not even fair
Quick poll:
Night vision or 4 arms?
^lol night vision 4 arms is like having clutter
but u have so much more utility...
night vision is only useful if you need to see at night w/o light
