Ingabe amakati azibona esibukweni?

Ngezinye izikhathi ikati libheka esibukweni futhi lizibuke, noma lizibuke kunoma iyiphi enye indawo ekhanyayo. Kodwa uyaqonda ukuthi uyazibona?

Ingabe amakati azibona esibukweni?

Sekuyiminyaka engaba yingxenye yekhulu, ososayensi becwaninga ukuzazi ezilwaneni, kuhlanganise namakati. Ubufakazi baleli khono lokusebenzisa ingqondo buhlala bungaphelele ezidalwa eziningi.

Lokhu akusho ukuthi abangani abanoboya abahlakaniphile ngokwanele ukuba bazibone esibukweni. Kunalokho, kuya phansi emakhonweni okuqonda ohlobo lwazo. “Ukuqaphela ukucabanga kwakho kudinga ukuhlanganiswa okuyinkimbinkimbi kolwazi olumayelana nawe nokunyakaza kwakho siqu, kanye nalokho okubona kule ngilazi,” isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo yezilwane uDiane Reiss sitshela umagazini i-National Geographic. Lokhu kusebenza nasezinsaneni ezingabantu. “Izingane azizazi ukuthi zibukeka kanjani zize zibe nonyaka owodwa ubudala,” kuphawula i-Psychology Today.

Njengoba i-Popular Science ichaza, amakati empeleni awaziboni esibukweni. Elinye ikati lizibuka esibukweni ukuze lithole elidlala nalo, elinye lingase lingakunaki lokho, kanti elesithathu “liziphatha ngokuxwaya noma linolaka kulokho elibonakala njengelinye ikati elikwazi ngokuphelele ukumelana nokunyakaza [lwalo] siqu.” 

Uma ubheka lesi “simo sokuhlasela”, ungase ucabange ukuthi ikati liziqhweba, ngokusho kwe-Popular Science, kodwa empeleni likumodi yokuzivikela. Umsila ompunga kanye nezindlebe eziyisicaba zekati ziwukusabela “kosongo” oluvela ekuzibonakaliseni kwalo.

Ithini isayensi

Kunobufakazi besayensi obusekela ukuthi izilwane eziningi zizibona esibukweni. I-Scientific American ibhala ukuthi lapho isilwane sizibona esibukweni, “singase singaqondi ukuthi, ‘Yimi! njengoba sizwisisa, kodwa siyakwazi ukuthi umzimba wakhe ungowakhe, njalo kayisiwo omunye. 

Izibonelo zalokhu kuqonda zihlanganisa lapho izilwane ziqaphela amakhono kanye nokulinganiselwa kwemizimba yazo lapho zenza imisebenzi engokomzimba njengokugijima, ukugxuma, nokuzingela. Lo mqondo osebenzayo ungabonakala lapho ikati ligxumela phezulu kwekhabhinethi yekhishi.

Ukutadisha amakhono okuqonda ezilwane kuyinkimbinkimbi, futhi ukuhlola kungaphazanyiswa izici ezihlukahlukene. I-Scientific American icaphuna izinkinga "ngokuhlolwa kwechashazi elibomvu," okubuye kubizwe ngokuthi i-specular reflection test. Lolu wucwaningo oludumile olwenziwa ngo-1970 yisazi sokusebenza kwengqondo uGordon Gallup, imiphumela yalo eyanyatheliswa encwadini ethi The Cognitive Animal. Abacwaningi badweba ichashazi elibomvu elingenaphunga esiphongweni sesilwane esizithulele base bebuka indlela esisabela ngayo ekubonakaleni kwaso lapho sivuka. UGallup uphakamise ukuthi uma isilwane sithinta ichashazi elibomvu, kungaba uphawu lokuthi siyaqaphela izinguquko ekubukekeni kwaso: ngamanye amazwi, siyazazi.

Nakuba izilwane eziningi zahluleka ukuhlola i-Gallup, ezinye zehluleka, njengamahlengethwa, izinkawu ezinkulu (ama-gorilla, izimfene, ama-orangutan, nama-bonobos) nama-magpie. Izinja namakati awafakiwe kulolu hlu.

Abanye abagxeki bathi amashwa ezilwane eziningi awamangazi ngoba eziningi zazo azazi ukuthi zibukeka kanjani. Amakati nezinja, ngokwesibonelo, zithembele ekwazini kwazo ukuhogela ukuze zibone izinto ezisendaweni yazo, okuhlanganisa ikhaya labo, abanikazi, nezinye izilwane ezifuywayo. 

Ikati liyazi ukuthi ubani umnikazi walo, hhayi ngoba libona ubuso balo, kodwa ngoba liyalazi iphunga lalo. Izilwane ezingenawo umzwelo wokuzilungisa zingase zibone ichashazi elibomvu kuzo ngokwazo, kodwa ngeke zizwe isidingo sokulisusa.

Kungani ikati libheka esibukweni

Izinga lokuzazi emakati liseyimfihlakalo. Naphezu kwakho konke ukuhlakanipha okuqukethwe ekubukeni kwakhe kokwazi konke, lapho ikati lihamba liya emuva naphambili phambi kwesibuko, cishe ngeke libabaze ubushelelezi bejazi lalo noma ubuhle bezinzipho zalo ezisanda kusikwa.

Ngokunokwenzeka, uhlola umuntu angamazi asondelene kakhulu naye ukuba azizwe ekhululekile. Uma isibuko sikhathaza ikati, uma kungenzeka, kufanele usisuse futhi uphazamise ukunaka kwakhe ngamathoyizi asekhaya ajabulisayo, amagundane ane-catnip noma amabhola ajabulisayo. 

Futhi uma ezolile ebheka emehlweni ekati emi phambi kwakhe? Kwazi bani, mhlawumbe usuke ezindla ngobukhona bakhe.
