Lord Hactivsm That's not accurate. While nerve signals are "electrical", they are not "electricity" and they move far, far slower than the speed of light.

@RobertJones 10 лет назад

So the bigger question I've always had is this. Evolutionarily this all makes good sense to have the brain be in the skull and whatnot, by why do we as humans create that same structure in our robotics? I know it's a bit sci-fi to think about but any time we've created complex robotic analogs of Humanity we've put the major processing power of those creations in the "head" part of the machine. Additionally when we look into deeper fictions about AI rising up on its own to enslave humanity (Terminator films, The Matrix trilogy, Battlestar Galactica, X-Men's Sentinels, etc) we always see the head parts of the machines being the most vital, even when the machines have learned to self-replicate/design their own bodies. Wouldn't it behoove these self-replicating machines who have no biological reason for having their vital processing centers located in their heads to move those centers outside of the place where humans are accustomed to targeting. If the machines moved (or better yet, completely decentralized) their processing cores, the thing which enables them to do their thinking and whatnot, to some other portion of the body, their fight against the humans would go much more smoothly. Just seems logical to me I guess. I wonder if there is something here for ***** to ponder in a PBS Idea Channel video?

@skevoid 10 лет назад

I think the short answer is... we don't. It's that way in science fiction because we love to anthropomorphize, but in practical cases it doesn't happen that way.

@Zimmerh90 10 лет назад

***** Are you saying that evolution isnt accepted by the people in the biology field or are you just taking something out of your ass because its convenient for you? Where is these facts you must have that says that small changes in DNA over time will create macro changes that may create new species or better versions of a specie aka the evolution theory is not true? You also disregard the fact that humans didnt need several sets of teeths because the food eaten and how humans have hunted. Because of the new lifestyles in food we eat stuff that are sweeter and breaks down the teeth's faster then it have most of human civilization. Or that humans dont hunt with their mouths etc. Your basically putting together some outlayers that you have no evidence to show of "except trust me I tell the truth".

@jamalcomrobol6453 10 лет назад

Well to actually understamd you have to go outside sci fi think critically. The smaller the object the harder it is to shoot due to recoil compensation centerpoint compensation etc. So it would make sense to have it as the central point because if not you could put a gun in anyones hands and they would win the fight. So it is actually a good central point.

@jamalcomrobol6453 10 лет назад

Zimmerh90 hes saying its still not accepted by everyone as a whole and me im not I believe in god not meaning I biased but I see it as god created all of this but he wants us to find the answers like they say. Its all in front of us we just need to get to where were going. Think an explosion could have happened at any time but it was specific and they say before the big bang there was nothing so how could there be an explosion of such proportions without nothing to start it or set it off

@craigcottam 10 лет назад

Excellent video, just subscribed. One note though: we have to change the language we use around evolution. Saying "so animals focused their eyespots... on the eating end..." implies a choice or willful evolution. The more correct and less confusing term might be "so animals that developed eye spots etc on their eating end could eat more etc."

@besmart 10 лет назад

That's a worthwhile criticism, and an unfortunate result of storytelling dialogue. Hopefully people realize the distinction here, and I'll be more cautious in the future!

@apieinthesky 7 лет назад

years after... But "developed" may also imply "willful evolution", depending on the context. Also, evolution is a gradual process that involves favorable choices anyway.

@existencedefieslogic9658 7 лет назад

Craig Cottam when the original poster gets overshadowed (in terms of likes) because the YT channel acknowledges the criticism haha:-P

@ginge641 5 лет назад

That tends to happen in evolutionary discussion. Because it's so much easier to say it in a way that implies intent than saying "X trait was better for survival in Y environment, so individuals with it lived longer and had higher reproductive success and so X trait was more prevalent in the next generation. These individuals lived longer and had higher reproductive success so it was more prevalent in the next generation and on until X trait became a feature of the species" every time you explain the logic behind a change.

@DrakeFellwing 9 лет назад

Basically it just makes more sense from a wiring standpoint.. further away means more time in between sensing something and responding to it. And since time is an important issue having the brain where eyes and ears go means less chance of a signal being too slow.

@petercourtney9392 10 лет назад

key word missing 'cephalisation'!

@besmart 10 лет назад

I went back and forth with whether to actually include that term, but it seemed like it was turning into word soup. But yes, just so everyone knows, welcome to the story of cephalization :)

@slfanta 5 лет назад

Because the cpu should have the fastest connections with the most important sensors like smell, hearing and seeing devices in order to have the quickest response as possible to the outside world, therefore the brain's located closest to them. That results in these devices along with the brain collectively forming a relatively independent module, and humans call it, a head.

@Neuralatrophy 10 лет назад

Have to consider why a head ? What defines a head ? First, its a housing for our sensory organs, eyes, ears and smell. The neck allows us to rotate and triangulate those senses. A large portion of the brain is dedicated to processing these senses and so it makes sense that the brain is a part of the head.

@kevmehl 3 года назад

Garbage dump? No, it’s one of the rides!

@nolanwestrich2602 6 лет назад

3:51 I'd disagree slightly. Animals have wildly different parts in the same basic configuration, instead of having the same basic parts in wildly different configurations.

@netwiz2 10 лет назад

let's not forget, our brain is in our head, where also our important input organs exist, sense of sight from eyes, hearing from our ears and balance from cochlea, maybe this insures that electric impulses will travel through the shortest distance possible from the input sensory organs to the brain to process them.

@jeffreytherock440 10 лет назад

I'd say its because of the design of life, (not just humans but all life in general) where our eyes are and mouth and such. It being in head is close to these things for speedier access to our brain. Digestion is separate from brain and of course it could not be in that same general area due to possible contamination or something from the food since it could be toxic. Don't think you can find any animal outside of water with brain else where, maybe some kind of sea life but they are different of course.

@LiranBarsisa 8 лет назад

I always find it hard to grasp the idea that a creature has no brain. Nothin to control what to do , what to decide to do. I mean, how can the organs function together and decide which operation to do? Do they communicate together? How can one mustle work with the other to do an operation that wasn't received from some main entity? It is more wonderous to me to see such a creature that has no brain and still functions. Not only that, but some creatures have some sort of semi-brain, like the octupus. I've heard each tentecle is controlled by one of them.

@mini-mei 8 лет назад

Yes that is fascinating. But more than the muscles "working together" in beings without brains, I'd like to know how they can react to stimuli without one. Take the box jellyfish for example: It has rudimentary eyes on each bottom corner of its four ridges. With the help of them it can maneuver around obstacles that it can see. This is baffling. Not only is it unclear how the jellyfish can even "see" as it has no brain that can interpret the signals from the eyes, but it also reacts to what it is able to see. As for octopus having separate brains in each arm, I don't find that too unusual. We humans have also a sort of second brain. We don't think of it as a brain, as it is not capable of conscious thought, but it is a nerve center with very important functions on its own: The plexus solaris. It mainly controls breathing, the heartbeat and digestion.

@mini-mei 8 лет назад

I'm no programmer or electrician but I did venture into that field a tiny bit...do you mean like proteins can work together like machines that follow a fixed ("hardcoded") program or like an electronic circuit behaves in a specific way because of its specific components (for example a transistor)? There could be some simple if-then switches and some chemical signals (since as far as I know jellyfish do not even possess nerves so no electronic signals). But I'm not sure something as complex as sight - even if it only could differentiate between solid and non-solid, so basically a sort of black and white - can be processed and reacted to appropriately in a simple if-then scenario. Obviously it is possible somehow, but the how is entirely unknown.

@FishyDaGamer 8 лет назад

Liran Barsisa here is a bad reply but, well like jelly fish, they kind of work together because of there instics, they just do, ooh look food, let's take and eat. But.. There is one thing, how do jelly fish know how to move?

@FishyDaGamer 8 лет назад

blubb, well, I don't know, I'm only 10 but I know that if they sense food, they try to take it, but when jelly fish actually moves, all the limbs move at once same, so... That's what I'm confused on.. I don't know.. I'm 10..

I have no intentions of using the knowledge for any professional reasons, but would like to get som wide, basic knowledge that goes beyond the fun-fact level. I've heard good things about edX on a general level, but before diving head down, I would love to hear some opinions on the subject. I'm sick of feeling smart, so I need a push towards the realisation that I know nothing :) Edit: Not that videos like this isn't a good source of learning, but it would be awesome to have the knowledge to develop your own theories based on questions such as the one asked in the title of this video. :)

The "mouth" is my second option for "breathing"; I primarily use my nose for breathing. Neal Degrasse Tyson makes this same silly argument. And also, when I'm eating with my mouth, I'm not holding my breath, but rather simultaneous breathing through my nose.

Ever since learning about the HOX genes in biology class, I thought it would have been cool for some mad scientist to genetically engineer a unicorn using a narwhal tooth onto the horse's forehead segment of their HOX sequence.

You can be that mad scientist if you get a degree and do it in Scotland( their national animal is in fact, a unicorn. so they would love that.) It's by no means too much of a stretch, science has made glow in the dark kittens!

+Francisco Russo he isn't annoyed at the ads, just the fact that the same ads play over and over again.

@zokalyx 9 лет назад

The evolution from aquatic life to land is always portrayed with a fish like creature. But weren't plants the first to make the jump by far? How did THAT jump happen 🤔

"Build our amusement parks next to the garbage dump"... took me awhile but i got it... ;D

Amusement park next to a dump makes perfect sense. ...getting rid of the waste people leave is cost effective.

I've got a question that might seem silly, but it's serious. Obviously certain mutations sometimes just never happen to randomly occur, but wouldn't it make a lot of sense for the testicles to be protected in a similar way to their heart with a cartilage structure similar to a rib cage? For such delicate organs, nature "decided" to expose them in the most ridiculous way possible in primates.
