Can you explain how 2 of the 3 gravity sensing cells in the jellyfish work by sending the information they collect to "brain cells" when jellyfish don't have brains?🧠🤔
Physician here - fun fact about motion sickness. If you're ever on a plane and there is a lot of turbulence up and down (say on approach or landing) and you're starting to feel sick...just tilt your head 45 degrees to the side. Since you can perceive movement up/down, side to side and back to front very well but not when the system is at a 45 degree angle you will notice that you feel far less motion and therefore should help prevent you from needing that little paper bag in the seat pocket in front of you.
Imagine a round ish creature with four tentacles. The tentacles can wrap around each other in a way that makes the creature look like a wheel. It can then build up speed on hills. What kind of balancing system would such a creature need to keep it from falling over as it spins? And is there some way to allow the eyes spinning with it to see its surroundings well enough to help it get around?
To answer the other question. You don't need spinning eyes. Our eyes don't do really smooth movements and the monitors don't really show smooth pictures, yet the brain interpolates the data. You could probably do well with two eyes close to the rotation axis and brainwiring to sample and post-process the vision data properly. Or, few eyes for better vision. If human can make one 3D mental picture from two eyes and it seems smooth on a VR set I see no problem. Also imagine how some animals must see if they have eyes with almost no overlap in field of vision, they probably have one "world view", so I guess mental overlapping is already there in nature. Free rotation is super hard in nature. I am not sure if I know an example on a high-cell-count organism. You'd need to have disconnected tissues.
There’s a desert spider that gets around by folding it’s legs into a wheel shape and cartwheeling down dunes. That’s how it covers long distances when it’s hot like mid day in the desert, or when it’s escaping a type of wasp that lays its eggs on spiders. I think the spider is called the Desert Wheel Spider.
@@williandalsoto806 Beat me to it (though I was trying to think of the dude from Fast and Furious, but then, Han Solo came to mind, as I clicked to see your reply).
There are people without a functional vestibular system who learn to compensate with other balance methods, including visual information and proprioception. It's not nearly a s good, but people manage.
Others in the comments have had great points too, but I did not notice anyone point out the point at the segue between terrestrial snails and sea snails. Terrestrial snails require a surface to cling onto, but they can climb most surfaces irrespective of orientation, simply following the shape of said surface, meaning they can move in every type of direction at any orientation, just not as freely as a sea snail.
The world, and the creatures on it, are just amazing. Each one with their "quirks'n'feature" (Doug DeMuro(. Amazing, love this little planet, more and more.
I have snails - don't ask why, too long, my thumbs would fall off - and they are definitely speedy when they want to be. Especially when you have your back to them.
"When the snail moves quickly" .... 🤔 Oh, right, those times when they've slithered up my front door and I move them (if they'll let me) somewhere more ... snail friendly. 👍
I love Rose, and her vibe. She was a lot more chill and natural in the beginning though. I think someone got in her head. Maybe someone at Scishow or some moron like fatsquirrel or Luc. I hope she can tune out the haters and get her groove back. Also who doesn't like Catlin?!? Fatsquirrel needs to find a dog to play with. Scishow Space is clearly hurting without her. With Catlin gone, Hank stealing all the major space news for scishow news and the constant compilations, they just don't seem to care about the channel anymore imo. 😢

Random question Why don't we make a massive ship that would allow us to live in space over trying to fix Mars? Wouldn't it make more sense to make an environment instead of fix one? Also in the search for life wouldn't it make more sense to look for like in ship like structures instead of planets. If we can assume intelligence always destroys it's environment wouldn't it make more sense to build a ship then find a planet that's super similar to your home world?

Hi Rose! Quick correction: it's not really the force of _gravity_ that matters here, but your _weight_ force. The reason why you notice gravity less underwater is because you have a significant buoyant force fighting against it, so it feels small. In space, both you and your entire environment are being accelerated by gravity at the same rate, so there's nothing for you to be constantly pushed into: no weight force whatsoever.
It doesn't, but can I cast my vote for a change to "planet-sticky force"? It feels more fun and yet also more instant-self-explanatory than 'gravity' does.
It takes a human to start wondering which way is up. Just saying. On a round planet that further more is spinning round and round - which way *is* up. Obviously gravity is deciding. "down" is towards the center of the planet, while "up" is directly away from the center. Animals just feel it. Humans, though..
I love the fact that you both actually think my single comment will change something. But hey, a warning wouldn't as well change any experience for you all, would it? You see ads all the time, a small warning is nothing for the continuity.

Today I Learned: Flies have Pitot tubes and static pressure ports, just like planes.
8:00 - a more puzzling question might be "If a fly goes to space but cannot fly, does it become a walk or a float?"
I think a more pertinent question is, if _I_ go to space, am I a barf or a puke?
Is a ked a fly, even though it can't fly?

So 🤔 snails can move at different speeds like faster and slower?! Unbelievable. 🤔 hmm 🤔 I would like to watch a running one! 😁

2:50 Um, say what? Jellyfish don't have brains, or even "brain cells". Something must have gotten lost in the translation here.
I was wondering about that ...
They have a 'nerve net' , the nerve cells are different than in most other animals but it is still a nervous system.
Humans: by watching VSauce.
I unsubscribed from and stopped watching VSauce when he wanted us to pay to watch.
Wait! What about the owl in the thumbnail?

In space, both you and your entire environment are being accelerated by gravity at the same rate, so there's nothing for you to be constantly pushed into: no weight force whatsoever.
Weight is a measurement of the force of gravity on a body. It is not a force itself.
It doesn't, but can I cast my vote for a change to "planet-sticky force"? It feels more fun and yet also more instant-self-explanatory than 'gravity' does.
😮
Thank you 🙏
Fun drinking game: take a shot every time the word Gravity.
Don't do this, you'll probably die...lol
The real question is do animals know which direction is updog?
I just breathe out and watch which way the bubbles go.
You can use your mind to fool your mind as to which direction is up. It's fun and freaky.
These animals know whazzaaaap
So are gravity sensor is technically a gyroscope that’s what I looks like lol
(Crickets in space) .. Okay what about Muppets in space?

If your representation of how the semicircular canals work is so obviously flawed, it makes everything else you present suspect.
