@KenFullman 24 дня назад

Another recent discovery is that the scent of mown grass is produced by grass when it's under attack. It seems this scent attracts predators of the insects that usually eat the grass. So by producing this scent it's actually calling for a predator to come and get the offending insect. So given a few million years, grass will have it's own weapon to shoot anyone that dares to approach it with a lawn mower.

Science has been in great development in the last century. Religion and science support each other. Islam values science. The existence of the world is in a great order. The formation of day and night, seasons, the continuous growth of space, and the fact that each planet is beautiful and magnificent in its own way shows the greatness of Allah. It is Allah who creates this from nothing. He created it to serve people so that we can be thankful

The nighttime marine environment if far "Brighter" than out human eyes realize :)

JUst a small side anecdote to this subject. Back in the mists of time (1991) We were producing an animated kids' series called Roughnecks, The Starship Trooper Chronicles. It was one of the first 3D animated TV series ever made. One of the problems we had was that try as we might the characters just looked dead. We tried every filtering and image manipulation trick in the book to bring these characters to life and nothing worked. Then one of the guys ran a little test. He made one of the characters skin a 5% light source. In other word they radiated a tiny amount of light and lo and behold they 'came to life'. We used it on all the other shows we worked on, even when we did CG characters in live action.

Of the dozen or so I've read about, they are either slightly to moderately toxic, or woody like shelf fungi. In America they often go by the name of foxfire or fairy lantern, and you can buy plugs that are already inoculated to grow them for yourself.

@Deletirium 24 дня назад

I would imagine the constituent chemicals would oxidize into oblivion quickly with heat and dicing. My daughter has Down Syndrome, and I used to buy her those 100 packs of glowsticks to play with when she was a baby. When cracking one of them for her, the stick ruptured, and I ended up with neon glow in the dark hands for about 5 minutes. I tried taking a few outside and painting the steps with spatters of glow, but it lost it's luminescence within a minute or two on exposure to air...

@guidokorber2866 24 дня назад

Actually most white LEdDs today are at better than 50% efficiency, some getting up to about 70%. On the quantum level they are even more efficient but some of the light does not exit the semiconductor crystal or gets lost in the phosphor that does the blue to white translation of the light.

@tkermi 24 дня назад

Best LEDs have much higher efficiency than 20%. Best white LEDs have package efficiency of over 70% and blue ones around 90%. But more typical values for mid bracket high quality ones are in a range of 55% and 70%.

@davidh.4944 24 дня назад

That's efficiency relative to equivalent incandescent bulbs. The video is referring to absolute lumens/watt efficiency. A quick search says that the diodes themselves actually produce light at about 30-40% of their theoretical maximum. I suppose the 20% comes from counting in the additional inefficiencies of the circuitry, phosphors, and other factors included in the average bulb. It all just goes to show just how horrendously inefficient incandescent bulbs are. 💡

@tkermi 24 дня назад

@@davidh.4944 No, I'm talking about the absolute efficiency. I studied these for my work projects. You can find some info regarding top of the line efficiency for example by searching "From physics to fixtures to food: current and potential LED efficacy"

@ChiliTomatoNoodle 24 дня назад

Fact check: LED lights are more like 40% efficient, not "only 20% efficient". 20% efficiency is akin to a relatively efficient incandescent light (i.e. not efficient at all in the grand scheme of things).

why don't we turn the lights off with ROV in the deep ocean and film (with special cameras) the light show? or at the very least film with red light as to not scare away animals with the ROV's bright white light. we could learn so much from turning the lights out.

All bioluminesent creatures have now been fitted with low voltage high brightness LEDs, when first fitted with light bulbs in the 1960s there was a lot of problems with water getting in and short circuiting the equipment. Even with good insulation the problem still persisted, and 800v electricity supply give rise to electrocuting everything around for miles. As time has go by the technology now has perfected the problem. And at the start only white bulbs were available, but thankfully now with LEDs any number of colours are in use.

Bioluminescent entities definitely get the imagination rolling, all the different information presented here most likely is as accurate as the scientists behind the biology release to the annals and journals of present day. Someday when the boundaries of science meet the impenetrable barrier of totality in the grace of evolutionary civilization we’ll be able to genetically modify attributes to utilize bioluminescence as an medicinal and effective alternative to present day limitations.

@BrianFedirko 23 дня назад

Maybe it's just about energy. Looks aren't everything, and earlier on with simple life it actually meant nothing because sensing color wasn't a thing yet, and everything pretty much has to be a color. Color doesn't have to have a "reason". Energy is a much better "reason" for any living organism. Gr8! Peace ☮💜Love

Underwater civilizations would be unlikely to invent fire or something similar, even if they were amphibious and figured out how to use above ground fires they would probably be doomed. Besides that they need agriculture as well. It seems unlikely to me that an underwater civilization would progress past hunter gatherers. A very advanced pre fire underwater culture would be unlikely to even progress to the heights of human aztecs even if they had farming because they still wouldn’t have fire.
