    This is amazing. Right now I'm studying bioluminescence, and I had to watch this for homework. I also went to an awesome bioluminescent bay, and saw tons of amazing bioluminescent creatures.

    Sarah Wyatt (Period 5) Edith Widder: The weird and wonderful world of bioluminescence Video
    I learned a lot in this video about the bioluminscent creatures that inhabit the depths of the sea. I was farely unaware of these creatures but learned that many use light as a means of protection against predators that either works in scaring them or doesn't, uncovering them from safety. A question I have is how is it exactly that these creatures produce light?

    I could listen to her talk about the ocean for hours. She has seriously been one of, if not THE, best Ted Talks ever. I agree with her -- deep-ocean trawling should be outlawed IMMEDIATELY. We can't afford to wipe everything down there out!
    Thank you Edith for another awesome talk!

    This was just awesome! I don't know why we know so little about our deep oceans and know so much about the outer space. And pressure isn't the answer.

    Bioluminescence is absolutely going to be a future trend in cosmetic surgery someday. I should get a patent.

    I found this video very interesting.It reminded me of Blue (the planet earth for the the ocean)I learnt that most underwater animals produce bio-luminescence and that they use it almost like a burglar alarm.My favorite part was looking at the shrimp because the color made was pretty.A question that I have is how does the bio-luminescence transfer to you when you brush against it (the golden coral).This is my favorite one yet!

    I found this video so interesting! I did not want it to stop. I learned from the video that some animals like the single celled algae produces light to portoect and defend itself from predators. Through a fake light, when the light was shinning, a squid tried to attack the predator... but there was none. A question that I have is how do these organisms produce the light. I really enjoyed this video.

    This portion of marine biology always reminds me of the latest movie 'Monsters'. J.Hopkins sountrack was well collaborated to add to the alien's awesome presence in the movie. Great movie, and a great subject. :)

    I greatly dislike the sound effects in the video clips. Space and the deep ocean are similar in that both are largely unexplored, but the similarities quickly disappear as you compare more qualities. Anyway, the talk was fascinating.
    Keep up the good work TED.

    Have a VLC video in the backgruond while watching this and you get some very cool light effects, particularly when it looks at the audience.

    There was another marine biologist that spoke about Bioluminescence about a year ago or something at TED. I was more impressed by the former video than this one.

    SHANTI- I think it is very interesting in this video to see how many different animals can produce light! The part where the woman shows the video that they took in the bahamas is very cool because it shows them interacting. I found this video to be very entertaining because the presenter was very entertaining and made numerous jokes.

    In regard to the sea pen, wouldn't the light move from one end to the other so that a predator would follow the light, allowing the pen to propel itself in the opposite direction and elude said predator?

    You are absolutely right. However, for a 30 years research? I expect some more developed theories.

  • @Melvinyoriel
    @Melvinyoriel 11 років тому

    If I'm not mistaken some of them (some) don't "produce" light, but when the submarine lights them up, they give out those colors because of what they are made. Do some research yourself, maybe I'm wrong :$
