How Designers Use Nature To Solve Problems | Answers With Joe 

She was indeed! and that? was the least of her achievements! she invented a form of radio frequency-hopping for secure transmissions that is STILL used today :D

And she was hot too.

True, but wrong way round. Hedy Lamarr was an engineer, who also happened to be an actress

I didnt intend to put one over the other, just 2 or more things can be true! She was beautiful and talented and really frikken smart!

@@JohnnyWednesday She probably missed out on a lot of money because the work ended up classified for many years.

Exactly what I was thinking..

I guess that’s sorta answered the whole Roswell thing then.

Yes, but where do I get transparent aluminum!!!

@@joshuahadams Roswell was the Feranga.

Duh!

I noticed that too both times I visited.

I rode the trains in Japan also. I read somewhere that not only was the sound for the neighbors a concern, also that some passengers and crew of the trains could get nausea and virtigo from the concussion dynamics through tunnels so they devised a pressure regulation system for the hull of the trains. Before entering the tunnel pressure would be slightly reduced and then released before exiting to equalize the effects.

Wow...that's so cool!...and so are the other two comments... Hi...from Scotland 😁

You mean Teaching

@@idzkk Compare 1930s Nazi Germany Vs 2020s Communist China IN YOUR NEXT VIDEO Project before it's too late

What an awesome job

@@matpk Politically your two examples are polar opposites.

That's amazing! >dives into the research rabbit hole

"It is fascinating to me the idea that the more optimized our engineering becomes is the more natural it will seem." needs more thumbs up.

Makes you wonder what an advance civilization might look like ... Maybe we would think they are biological But they are actually 3D printed

This is called topology optimization and it is already used a lot in the car industry. As an engineer I used couple of times and it still amazes me. And if you try it for example on a drone and compare the structure with the bone structure of a flying squirrel it is kind of similar.

makes me realize how the peak of human engineering will basically be creating a biologically perfect human indistinguishable from normal humans in almost every way, or animals too

ooh

Have you heard of the book "the geckos foot?" I read it back in my early 20s and it was a fantastic intro to bio mimicry.... It also talked about "spider goats".... truly fascinating stuff, although now there's probably much more out there about these things

@@MattAngiono I remember the spider goats. Geneticists altered the ghosts DNA so that it produced spider silk instead of goat milk from its utters. Spider-goat.

@@freetherapy-84 A baby spider goat? It’s an arachkid.

@@freetherapy-84 and yet we don't have any Spiderman tech for swinging around ourselves.....😔

Same luckily I've always lived where I can at least hear it in the distance late at niGht when is all quiet

Or Judge Judge. There is at least one, and he's The Right Honorable Lord Judge Igor Judge. don't think he's an active judge anymore tho

So what's the language of the universe? Can you listen to it? Maybe that's what experiments are: asking the universe. The result is its answer. How long does it take a tennis ball to fall down when I let go of it from 1 meter? Just take your tennis ball, hold it one meter high and let go - the universe gives you the answer. Not in language, but in action. Science then is just figuring out how to ask questions to the universe.

@@thulyblu5486 also Math

that would a doctor who companion who visited the birth of the universe

@@tonyanthony5105 Maths is a Science

I think Joe Biden is pretty close to that old, and listening to him is just confusing and depressing.

Bruh you slow!

@@tamie341 For Joe, i press like button immediately! Before i watch!

I gotta earn that ish.

I click like before I watch. I can always unclick like or even click dislike afterwards. With Joe I do not think I ever changed my mind. I may not like a subject or what he said about it, but it will always be thought provoking and interesting.

@@JaOzrenRadovanovic i feel you, usually I do that as well but this time I forgot. Took me 2 minutes to realise again how amazing his content is and remember to like it.

past? :o

Can you tell us the price of bitcoin in the past?

[And hello again from the future]

🤣🤣🤣

Incredible

Wow, thank you!

@@joescott No sir, thank you.

Why Joe doesn’t have his own show on the History or Discovery channel yet us beyond me. He has way more charisma than any of the hosts on TV today.

@@alphagt62 agreed, staying independent on RU-vid may be the best course for longevity tho given that younger generations stream or only watch RU-vid videos for streaming. His videos will probably reach more people streaming as mainstream media continues to evolve in medium. The same could be said of sooo many content creators. It's funny how somebody with a camera in their own home can have twice the charisma as people who are considered experienced professionals.

@@dugsbunnyog3544 while Joe staying on RU-vid may be the best thing for us, and for the integrity of his content, TV hosts make insane amounts of money! If Joe were offered $10M a year to host a tv show, I doubt he could refuse it?

It’s ok molly the randoms at the airport dont know what they’re missing out on

Bro I used to listen to bill burr podcasts at the airport.... I no longer do that

Wait.. what!? How did you manage to make a smiley size image of Joe.. and even more importantly, how could you add it and make it stick in your comment!?!🤯😵

@@Superknullisch (s)hes a youtube member

Kinda surprised they let me say that. :)

Life is a circle

We could all use a little bit of that "more better" sauce.

That's silly, next thing you know you'll be claiming that guy in San Francisco didn't really invent transparent aluminum.

Alchemy was chemistry in the same regard as Da Vinci's flying machine was an airplane. Yes they may have gotten a few aspects right but it just didn't work because our overall understanding was still too limited.

@@ku8721 completely true but it WAS the precursor to modern chemistry and was quite useful in making small amounts of dyes. Maybe it isn’t that their understandings were limited but their resources and methods were too inefficient. It’s also an A1 grade philosophy of self-improvement with spiritual alchemy rather than the puffer non-sense most alchemists would make jokes about puffers (people whom would spend days at billows to make gold)

Speedo has some hand paddles that seem to be inspired by the humpback whale fin (Speedo Nemesis Contour Paddles), increasing surface area along the paddle's edge. Apparently, it pushes more water and creates a smooth pulling trajectory.

OMG, those damn things can FLY?! 😱 >shudder

Thank you. Learning that they can fly is just what I needed to sleep better at night.

@@railroad5024 haha I'm sorry. However, I believe the studies concluded that the wings serve no purpose anymore or at least not for flight.

@Loki oh thank goodness!

All of the above has been drawn-Savage

Hello

well, we are part of nature... why do people keep thinking we are so unique and different? Nature makes loads of mistakes - evolution is just throwing stuff on the wall over and over and over again and keeping what sticks. We are part of that. So far at least.

Not really. Most of the worst problems of our society is caused by evolution. Nature made us selfish, xenophobic, and violent. Our good side also has roots in evolution (group selection), but it's mostly human invention.

And really, the world is not fucked up, just humans. I mean when we get to the point where our own hubris kills us off, Nature will shrug and move on as if saying "Well, that didn't work..." One more trial and error experiment failure, on to to next one. Something else will evolve and move into the vacuum. That's what Nature does. Always.

It's our own failure at recognizing our interrelationship with nature that's caused the issue. We are both a happy accident that's gained great strides in seeing the possibilities, but also highly ignorant in recognizing the externalities and destruction unleashed by our hubris. Because of our unique consciousness combined with immense power, we are still far from operating within a balanced system. One only need look at the opposing narratives around climate change and environmental destruction to see that we aren't the great sense makers we once believed ourselves to be. I would gather that's mostly because the system we've designed is highly extractive, self centered, prioritizes short term benefits that offset the consequences, fuels competition over cooperation (instead of balancing them), and mostly leads to extreme mentalities, either hedonistic happiness, deep seated depression, and even psychopathic narcissism.... We need everyone with a head and a heart to recognize this isn't working, and instead become antidotes to the ailments. I believe this starts with conversation, honest debate, self discovery and healing, and most importantly working TOGETHER to deal with the obvious issues of global warming and habitat loss.... If anyone has time, please check out my original comment under this video. I describe some of these potential solutions more in depth and would appreciate your input! 🙏

@@CorwinPatrick I think this is just perspective.... certainly, looking at psychedelic fungi that can brainwash insects into becoming their breeding grounds are pretty f*ed up.... But that's just one more perspective. There are an infinite many in how we can see the world. The scariest thing if you ask me, is that humans have f*ed up so badly that we not only threaten our own existence, but that of the majority of complex life on this planet.... It's likely true that nature will find a way without us, but we may have turned back the evolutionary clock billions of years in the blink of a geologic eye.... And as of yet, as far as we know, we are the only experiment that has made it to this level of complexity. It will be truly sad if we can't solve this predicament and in turn make a nuclear wasteland of this one beautiful home to so many complex creatures. It's really time for a much needed great awakening of humanity, which means compassionate species..... Can we extend our care to support this biological brilliant system before it falls?

Man has learned that he makes more money selling crap that breaks/wears out, and then selling it over again to the same people.

Oh, no, there's a lot of waste in nature, it's just that waste in nature pretty much always provides an ecological niche to be exploited in utilizing said waste. When the first photosynthetic bacteria arose, they started producing a highly reactive waste product that wiped out almost all life on Earth, the majority of the ones that survived were the ones that had resistance to the said waste product, some of which could utilize it to, more efficiently create energy from organic compounds, now, with many different types of organisms creating the waste product in question, it makes up about 21% of the atmosphere, and you'd die without it, ...it's oxygen. Nature is at times wasteful and it is potentially self-destructive, it's just very opportunistic (greed works here too) and resilient, and so damn old that it had a lot of time for said opportunism to exploit all the unexploited (wasted) niches, and for its biodiversity to recover.

Shiroe, my man!

You can still wear glasses, we won't tell.

Just get it done on one eye and become Villain with Monocle, don't forget you also need a villainous catch phrase.

We do learn a lot from nature, but i don't think there are any other creature out there building jet engines or rocket engines or transistors or many other inventions that humanity have developed

Rent must be cheap there
