    • @Perforated611
      @Perforated611 2 роки тому

      HOW the brain does it is the mysterious part, to this day we don't know if it's a physical thing the brain does, meaning it's flipping the image by reversing neurons and/or synapsis, kind of like swapping wires around in a circuit so that positive is negative and negative is positive, or if it's a subconscious mental function, that psychologically we just get used to seeing things flipped.
      It's not just upside down either, images are flipped left to right as well (Michael used a 2D image to show this process, making it difficult to tell that both horizontal and vertical images are flipped, but it makes sense).

    Good news! Selenite is water soluble, so even if it does wind up all over the place and in your lungs, it'll eventually just pass through you. Still, I wouldn't recommend huffing fluffy rocks. Also, it was probably breaking down from ambient humidity.

      Nah, it's gypsum that grew up to be really fancy. It'll certainly linger for a while, since it isn't quite that soluble, but it's not going to stick around forever like some other rocks that go airborne. (If that's setting off alarm bells for any drywall installers, that stuff's mainly spooky because of the silica commonly used alongside gypsum.)

    • @zerokidd21
      @zerokidd21 5 років тому +6

      Selenite a form of gypsum is actually not healthy to ingest as the particulates are not fine enough to "pass through your body" how ever diatacious (probably not spelled right) earth is gypsum that has been sifted/filtered so that the particulates are fine enough to be ingested by humans. Be sure to get the one labeled for human consumption as both are sold.

    Hey DONGers... Mineral Resources Engineer here. (Sorry, I couldn't resist) Nothing bad can happen if you just lick some selenite, or any other gypsum-like material. You should avoid inhaling it in large quantities though. Gypsum (and thus Selenite) is ranked #2 in MOHS scale of hardness, making it one of the most soft/brittle minerals. FYI, the hardest is of course, the Diamond, which is ranked #10.
