摘要
Imagine driving your car at night while its headlights display an annoying blinking behavior, switching on and off randomly. To add to the nuisance, the blinking has no definite time scale. In fact, although in most of your nightly journeys your headlights display quite rapid blinking, rendering at least some visibility, occasionally they remain off for almost the entire journey. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.
