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!
Sydney Sandor,The weird and wonderful world of bioluminescence Video; 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!
Anja Ceklic(Period 5) Edith Widder: The weird and wonderful world of bioluminescence Video.... 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.
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.
Beautiful and totally amazing :D im so curious and have always been about the creature in the water like the amazing octopus that changes shape and now this just amazing thank you TED
amazing ...nice job ..don't know the name of the nice lady that is talking , and don't have the time to search it now... but all respect and i hope this is just the beginning . Great job !
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?
@SilveradoDudeDk i just have a habit of muting all TED talks, until after the "brought to you by" message. Then hovering over the mute button as it gets near to finishing.
@SilveradoDudeDk It's really not that bad, if that part is damaging your ears, the other parts are too even if you don't notice. Turn down your own volume.
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 :$

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.
This would be why nature is the best thing on the planet.
Bioluminescence is absolutely going to be a future trend in cosmetic surgery someday. I should get a patent.

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.

Wow!! I can see why it would be addictive! Amazing!
amazing ...nice job ..don't know the name of the nice lady that is talking , and don't have the time to search it now... but all respect and i hope this is just the beginning .
Great job !
Hahah, that contemplative squid was so silly!

didnt want it to end
fantastic, magnificent & precious earth
C'est magnifique!
mesmerising.
Please turn down the volume in the opening, TED. Thank you.
the lights are visible thoughts traveling on the nerves of these creatures.
Wonderful.
Always amazing even if we understand it or we don't! What are they saying?????
" you can defend yourself with light"
lol...there is like 100 ted talks on bioluminescence...still interesting tough :) !
AWESOME!
@smby I am not so sure. I think this takes time and I don't think it is easy to collect sufficient and coherent data in such an environment.
@SilveradoDudeDk It's really not that bad, if that part is damaging your ears, the other parts are too even if you don't notice. Turn down your own volume.
You are absolutely right. However, for a 30 years research? I expect some more developed theories.
That squid was so cute!

TED GO HD!!!
don't worry, we can all be friends, except the guy who posts first... We never forget.
awesome
@ziomorph actually what she said was accurate.
subjective to the prawns.
that music
"tootootootootootootootootootootoo"
the apprehensive squid was cuter than the Shark :D
why can't i full screen?!
@smby All research starts with observation.
What happened to the first two?
3:47, Demi Moore on the back?
It's more like observation than research.
@SilveradoDudeDk what colume?
Shark is like OMMM OM NOM NOM OMMM
@derebin Screw the shark, that squid is now my best friend.
@Greenlightandgo Sorry Volume.
cool
we have sent a robot to the bottom of the ocean floor to flash lights at creatures and they answer by light..?
holy f*cking shit.
electronic jellyfish = epic sea troll
Aliens among us.
@AgentWD400 yes
there are also luminescent shrooms :)
@Twistery927 *flash* problem? *flash*
PLEASE turn down the colume of the intro... its WAY too loud. Been that way forever.. dont you TED people notice ? lol
@braap02 no it was new
the deap sea version of Avatar
for a second i thought she is wearing the necklace from Titanic :D
🤣
itz probably a squid
@roidroid 'Edith Widder: Glowing life in an underwater world' is pretty much the same video.
Maybe if I come in at a different angle? Hahahahaha!
@vetiarvind What? No.
Anyone here from "Only Lovers Left Alive?"
#science project
And the stars make love to te universe
LOL IF YOU POKE IT
lol alga
@ziomorph Pshhhh... I think light is sexy as all hell.
Squeeze the tip.
#goodbyeperfettamenteimperfetta
"personally I think its something sexy"
worst presenter nominee
pimp my ride... i mean fish...

Edith Widder is hot...
@cristoretornebiblia So what if there are dangerous species? Is that an example of a bad God? If so, you have no point.
@AgentWD400 Quiet you. Pew pew pew pew.
first
No.
I farted
REPOST. C'mon TED, get new material.
This is old.
