The fastest animal in nature isn't what you think it is. It's way, way smaller than that. Nature's tiniest creatures warp the laws of physics, and they do it in ways that even human engineers would gawk at. Using the power of super slow-motion macro video, let's uncover the biological engineering that lets nature's fastest creatures do their zoomy thing.

When they were first talking about flicking tiny "beings", I misheard, and thought they were talking about flicking tiny "beans" and was confused and amused.
next episode?
Ditto. These bugs may be fast, but not as fast as me neurologically switching from a normal train of thought to a dirty mind.

On this channel: It’s okay to be smart
In my school: It’s compulsory to be smart
More like schools make you dumber
@@ViratKohli-jj3wj just like your subscribers
@Dude Gupta You’re lucky. Back in the days, in my school, they intentionally held the smart kids back. The motto was "what not everyone can learn, no one should be taught". Yeah, socialism sucks.
Damn, sad but true and funny...
Well, you must be in a really good school, because most of the time it's only compulsory to follow the rules and not ask any questions. Being smart is at _best_ optional and most commonly actively discouraged.
you guys are always really good at giving us examples to help us understand the scale-the comparison between the flips and the helicopter blade was especially mind boggling for me. thanks!!
Just started watching your channel and I have to say, you’re very well spoken and it’s soothing. It’d be great to have a conversation with you! But great video from the both of you
Me: “This is true! I have flicked tiny things! They go really fast!”
Joe: “Don’t flick tiny, tiny beings.”

ah - i thought he had said 'flick tiny beans'
I heard it as "flick the bean"...
Yeet 😬😂😂😂
Joe: "Humans have reached some pretty impressive speeds"
Shows the NARUTO-Run guy! 😹
I hear that at such speeds, the wing arms are a benefit.
cracked me up!
It actually does help in being faster.

@@hidof9598 why isn't it used in the olympics though? And does the naruto run have smth to do w aerodynamic?

love this! being 5 feet tall myself, I ran track & field in HS and was one of the fastest in the state at the 100 meter dash. Thank you tiny beings for making us less tall beings feel good about ourselves lol
Outstanding video Joe. As always, it was expertly narrated and informative. Also, I think it was such a good idea for you to call-out to Diane. She's a great communicator, very smart and very engaging. Really well done Joe!

@@eamontavacoli5445 eearwigs
Springtails are some of nature's best decomposers. ^-^
And oddly enough, they aren’t insects, but a sister group of Hexapods, called Collembola.
Amazing connections between biology and physics. Thank you!
imagine editing this adding those boing sound effects after every time a bug jumps
I’ve been scrolling for awhile looking for someone to mention those sound effects lol right. It was added to every jump.
Humans *invent spings*
Nature: "Hey, I've seen this one!"
Humans: "What do you mean you've seen it? It's brand new!"
Exactly!! There's plenty of natural things that are so intelligent.
A lot of human inventions are inspired by Nature.
Do you mean spring

This channel is fantastic! Good job!
Great great video！Really appreciate it.
Why do they all flip so much? Does it improve their aerodynamics? Wouldn't they be even faster if they converted all that energy into kinetic energy alone rather than angular momentum?
It would be! But that's just how springtails evolved… it's "good enough"

@@clau.mm7 Your grammar and ability to spell is far better than most atleast. Don't sell yourself short.
Yes but they should jump in such a way that the force pushing them from ground should pass through there center of mass. But they are not rigid bodies it's hard for them to master in that way !

Incredible Job ! Well Done ! Keep it On!!!
Just discovered this channel and it's amazing, really !
_"According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible."_
old news, learned back in the 80s that its the way they use their wings. they entered the other old adage "its not the size the counts, but you you use it" category.
Well _I don't care what anybody thinks_ I still can't fly no matter how much I try.
Dont worry bro I at least got the reference
@@loganpe427 Have you try drinking some Red Bull?

Thank you so much for creating interesting information like this one.😮
Hey great video as always! At 1:21 the land speed record is held by the ThrustSSC not the BloodhoundSSC (pictured), a record it's held since 1997!
This channel is freaking awesome! PBS is still all about the science and education. Please dont ever change!
Hopper, if you're held hostage, blink twice.
Hopper: (faceted eyes stare)
Your vids are awesome dude!
Absolutely adore the physics of nature. Like the pistol shrimp, so nuts
Acceleration isn't exactly speed, and there is a huge difference in the scale.
It's not that it isn't exactly speed. It *isn't* speed.
THANK YOU. Theres alot of confusion in the comments.
And they aren't adjusting the acceleration "to scale" they are giving us real m/s^2 not shrinking down the definition of a meter for what a bug might call a meter. Lol.
@@TheSkystrider Yup... "It accelerates at an amazing rate of 700m/s^2!"
but actually wait 1 second and it's now stationary 10 cm away from where it started
OK where in the video did they state that it was?
Random fact:
A group of ferrets is called a business.
"Martha, can you call Bat Cauldron and Co?"
The Ferrets are from nunya

OMG I LOVE your Show not only informative and educational but entertaining and inspirational to motivate one to seek out more. Being nearly 70 years old I'm truly mind blown to see such young people far ahead of my age group at their age we were more hands on mechanical like building a hot rod you cats are so ahead of my generation in intelligence and motivation well I should say speaking for myself because we did have some very very intelligent people in my school.
Wow this was a REALLY COOL video! Good job
I'm always impressed that when you flick a common house fly it starts flying again after a minute as if nothing had happend. The impact of a human finger would squash us humans on the spot if a huge finger was about to flick us.
"The more you Joe" would have been an awesome channelname.
I like the poetic symbolism at 10:00, wherein the only way to manipulate a shutter at that speed is making it's focus a lot smaller. So in order to film something very small moving very fast, you need to film it very fast but also very small.
This was a super interesting video, thank you.
Short girls watching this : 👁👄👁 ima show u real speed
Hey note that the planthoppers are also using actual gears too to level their jumps out and prevent one spring from releasing before the other so both legs contribute to the same motion
the collab we all needed
Oh I love it. I love it so much. Really interesting videos about science and with a good jokes/memes. Thank you.
I’ve flicked plenty of tiny beings in my time
They picked the wrong house, fools

I thought he said beans.
Be sure to wash your hands afterwards.

The fastest animals are those people who comment first on UA-cam videos
fastest premature delivery
Animals indeed
Fast isn't always best👍
Quality comment Random Guy
They’re usually not very fast though
but that ALSO makes them the biggest idiots... because they Never seem to understand just how much NOBODY cares about that. . .
These animals have such complex designs and are so small. How amazing is that
Except the part when she has to explain what is a spring and how it works as if no one ever saw one and they can only be captured in the wild , it’s a very cool video.
Seriously nature never stops to amaze me
Noob question, shouldn’t we be using the term “quick” as opposed to “fast” when comparing these creatures and objects in this video?
Quick is the acceleration, where as fast is the velocity.
Exactly!!
Wait im confused🤪
they just want to make the video title more attractive
So does that count as clickbait?
That's actually a really good point
Four species of ants live in and around my house in Mindanao Philippines. One of them, known locally as "aliwarang", accelerate like a bi-turbo sports car. The other three species are positively pedestrian by comparison.
I could watch super slo-mo video clips of tiny bugs flinging themselves all day, so long as they included the goofy sound effects you guys have put in.
I mean, mantis shrimps can create the sun's surface with a punch, so yeah.

@@keltoumnoury stop u dumb bot
Acceleration is not speed. By that definition rockets are slow. By that logic I can easily clap or shake my hands faster or snap my fingers faster than any rocket.
@@panastiwari Trivial. If my hands collide at 10 m/s and each stops within 1 cm, that's 5000 m/s^2.
@@panastiwari no, 5000. 10 m/s in 0.002 s is 5000 m/s^2, not 500.
I'd like to believe those spring SFX are the actual sounds those insects make...so wholesome lol
Hi. I really loved your visual explanation of the entire time-line of the earth. Could you please explain the time-line surrounding AD , BC, and how the numbering works. Thank you
you should say "animals that accelerate them selves fastest"

"don't flick tiny tiny beings" 😭🥰
One of the best videos ever!
Very cool video!! 😎
Yeah, I found out that bugs were the fastest when I was forced to run from a cockroach for my life.
So you out-ran her? Then you're faster.
Cockroaches aren't a life threat.
@@buzzlightyear6960 Actually, I was waiting for someone to say that to me.
I'm a person who gets paranoid easily. Till this day because of cockroaches alone, I'll sometimes scream just because I heard a noise near me that I thought might've come from a roach. I also never step into places without caution and I check my meals aggressively before eating them incase an intruder accidentally got cooked in it. Worst of all, I stay up till the morning for an entire week whenever a cockroach has entered my bedroom incase it's still around or incase there are more.
Therefore, if a roach was ever to touch me or crawl on me or even bite me, that could cause me to become even more paranoid.
First let's talk about if a cockroach were to bite me (and they do bite), if simple alcohol didn't fix the issue whether it was because the bite wasn't properly cleaned or so on, I would become very sick and get a bad infection that would be very problematic, especially for my already poor family which already has to borrow money for groceries because it would be hard to get me to the hospital.
This event would also worsen my paranoia.
Now let's talk about if it were to crawl on me. It is similar to the biting in the sense that it would make me more paranoid than ever. Maybe this would fade but not when I'm an adult and living in my own shelter.
If a cockroach were to be nearby in my settlement when I'm older, it would cause me to lack sleep because I'd have to keep an eye on it. Lacking sleep would worsen my job productivity or even studies.
My actions could also disrupt my romantic partnership with someone.
All of these could become a factor leading into me having a worse off lifestyle. Since for quite a while I will live alone, and far from my friends and family, I could become depressed because of my terrible lifestyle. (Since I've been lacking sleep and other much needed things). And depression doesn't lead to a good place. I could lose even more productivity, lose or waste a lot of money and gorge myself in food for comfort. My life for a while would be a sad mess. Lastly, giving me a 1/2 chance of ending my own life. If I do choose to end it, then cockroaches, therefore will become a small factor in my own end.
Two favorite people together with my favorite subject!

This content is amazing, i feel like im in school again but reading a book i really like
It's incredible that even tiny bugs have figured out a way to do amazing things. It's a quick reminder that each branch of science has a connection 😀
Perhaps the "branches" are artificial.
"Don't flick tiny tiny beings"
why is this so funny?
Well physical properties scale with different powers. Good example is length to volume - r vs. r³. Since mass scales of volume and materials have a force limit they can support every animal scematic has a size limit.
I learned something new again, tnx
The more you Joe is the greatest crossover in all of history
1:20 I almost choked on my spaghetti. Bravo!
Thanks for keeping me interested
This is the reason why I'm terrified of these tiny little beings, they're fast as hell, and this leaves no other choice for my brain other than get me a phobia of everything that is little and fast, because if it is little and fast - you can't control it at all, and that terrifies my brain to the point where I just very much die when I just see them even standing still

Fun video, love it...have to say though, the host changes his shirt to red and white stripes and adds a red and white winter hat and we've found Waldo! ;)
Looking at copepods and nauplius under the binocular also has me astonished by their speed. It is a though they disappear from one spot and re-appear elsewhere.

" Sound effects are at another level "
The sound effects of this video came straight from mars😂
Lately I have been wondering about relative speed, which I was hoping this addressed. By relative speed I mean how fast is one moving relative to its body size. Ants seem to move many body lengths in a very short time, so I was wondering how many body lengths other animals can travel in short times. For example, i8f we consider body length as the length of the spine, the fastest humans can travel around 110 body lengths(100 me3ters) in a bit less than 10 seconds. How many body lengths can an ant travel in that time, or a cheetah, or a snake, or mongoose. I would like to know but don't have the facilities to do the tests. If anyone reading this knows where to access that info I would like to hear
Wow what amazing DESIGN
1:20 love how the naruto run can not be meassured 😂
