      I tried to get rid of some board which are similar to asbestos down a local refuse and recycle plant, the would not take it because it looked like asbestos. They were so scared of it, they would not even touch it with their hands/gloves.. Just makes me laugh because Michael was sniffing this fibrous material, yet they wouldn't even physically touch it.

    A fun fact is that an owls eyes are like long cylinders, allowing them to see objects larger than we see them (from far away) BUT it means that they can't swivel their eyeballs like we can, hence the almost 360° head rotation they're famous for :)

      Most bird's eyes are actually fixed in their sockets. Owls are able to swivel their necks 270 degrees _in either direction,_ which means they can easily see at any angle without moving their torso. And the tube shape does not necessarily specifically aid with vision, it's just necessary to fit such enormous eyes in such a tiny cranium. The goal seems to be to form the largest retinal image possible, which improves foveal resolution in the daytime (smaller airy disks) and provides more information for cortical computation in the nighttime (giving better edge detection, for instance). Interestingly, owls are farsighted and cannot focus on anything within a few centimeters of their eyes, though I suppose they don't find this much of an inconvenience. I guess that's kind of inevitable with fixed, cylindrical eyes.

    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.)

      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.

    • @Undy1
      @Undy1 6 років тому +31

      True, but that type of vision would be ridiculously impractical - with it you could only see objects that were smaller than your eye since the image on the retina is always the exact size as the object it's looking at. For example if you wanted to see a whole door that's in front of you, you would need to have an eye as big or bigger than that door. Though it would not matter how far the door would actually be from you - it would always appear to be exactly the same.
      Also if anyone is curious how it would look like to see like this it's actually very common in 3d graphics:
      -in video games that use isometric projection - they were very popular once, now mostly indie titles use it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection
      -any 3D software like Blender, 3ds Max, Maya etc will have a viewport that can display the scene in what's called orthographic projection - a type of parallel projection. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_projection
      And here's a screenshot from Blender showcasing perspective vs orthographic projection: easyblend.org/html/_images/3dperspective.jpg

      If you had two eyes, each with only parallel light hitting each retina, and the eyes had any distance between them, but were pointed at the same object, the brain could perceive 3D. This is because the eyes would see two slightly different images.

      @andresxj1 6 років тому +96

      That would be a really small image. Imagine you want to take a picture of a chair: using the usual technique is easy, because the light would reach the camera lens from the top of the chair with some angle, and the same for the bottom, so we can have a full image of the chair (from top to bottom). But if we wanted to use a camera with a selenyte lens to take a picture of the chair, we would need a camera with a size at least as big as the chair, because now the light can only pass the lens if it is perpendicular, so in order to have a full image, we would need a chair-sized lens that would capture the entire chair's parallel light projection. Hope I made it clear enough!

      Ok, let's get some things straight. What you're looking for is called a "Telecentric Lens". Yes, it exists.
      This is a concept called orthographic projection. Basically an orthographic projection is the same concept as if you were looking at an object from an infinite distance. So if you put a lens on your camera that has a very high zoom level, like 500mm, you're basically seeing the same thing as a parallel projection, only a tiny bit of perspective.

    I am really drunk right now but I just wanted to say, Micheal. Please don't put yourself in danger for us, we want to keep seeing you and we've lost enough people already like Stefan Karl ( Robbie Rotten) Don't enhale that selenite man, it's not worth it! It's not!

      Selenite is non-toxic. He's joking around

      @laurelalloro 6 років тому

      It may be non-toxic but he meant inhaling it, which could definitely do some damage

      If space was filled with air so that acustic waves could travel trough it, the sun should be pretty loud.

      I like to imagine that it sounds like a campfire crackling to us (from earth) bc its so far away
      edit: obviously under the pretense that space is conducive to sound.

    Yeah, the idea that extraterrestrial life may perceive things differently than human is scary for me. We won't even be able to have common grounds on things, we would just see each other as a threat.
    Anyway, nice to see you again Michael.

      G kev On Earth, evolution has come up with eyes the way they are now in many separate occasions. I think vision as we know it makes a lot of sense as is, and having it any other way in an efficient manner we would end up with a totally different sense

    Aliens with selenite eyes, when looking at the earth, could see Michael's beard in all it's glory - provided they are patient enough to receive photons and have fancy eye stabilizers.

    Please don't try to eat, lick, sniff, or drink Selenite. It is a fiberus Crystal that is best left outside the human body.*is currently face palming*
