Slime mold form a map of the Tokyo-area railway system

- When the researchers place food at cities on the map, the fungus collaborates, spreading out to map many possible configurations and then dying away to highlight the shortest routes between cities and the most efficient overall system map.

Joe rogan?
Nate diaz's phrasing can be confusing sometimes.
Nick Diaz, not Nathan, said this
Incredible comment 👏
If mold could design a perfect government too.. Oh wait
We are the slime still stretching out onwards
It couldn't. It's too dumb.
@@GrzegorzusLudi so's the government,
@@spiritscoffee6199 I doubt. xp -I think that even most of mentally disabled people (in sense to iq) are wiser than mold.- Lel, wrong answer. xP In order to be in government you have to get into the power which is kinda hard for less wise people.
@@GrzegorzusLudi Trump is the president of the United states and you have the gall to tell me that its hard for unwise people to get power?
Maybe it is the most efficient map and therefore the slime mold sees it as the most efficient and keeps only those paths.. man biology is so damn cool!!!
The slime is a better civil engineer and urban planner the the actual people who made the subway
Biology is so damned cool!
Actually its called science
@@WarriorOfTheLostLand Um, biology is a science.
@@kellyhoward6941 oh ho ho so after 2 years you finally show up huh? Guess you couldn’t help yourself
@@WarriorOfTheLostLand since you didn't comment until 2 days ago, I hardly think it's a "finally show up" situation.
You waited for two years 😂
How about New York's Subway System? We definitely need some serious fungi.
You can start using those that are already present in the subway lol
@@rmd9746 🤣😂 word

nice, maybe a new way to architect
Joe Rogan anybody?
Hahahahhaha ... yes definitely !!
Yeah mushrooms for wild fires moio
Moisture
No thanks I'm full but thank you.
mee too ! had to search for it ... as a seeker in soul, I only believe after I see it . Love to read and share papers.
the molds that scavenge on old food, and slime molds(that we see here) are two very different kinds of organisms
well they eat food
@@SEBithehiper945 So do you and I.
@@Flufux That’s my literal point!
“Japanese subway modeled after slime mould” fixed your title
I thought straight lines is the most efficient.
underrated comment lol
they will become straight lines if enough time is given.
Not for searching a space, only if you already know your target location.
"Atsushi Tero of Hokkaido University grew Physarum in a flat wet dish, placing the mold in a central position representing Tokyo and oat flakes surrounding it corresponding to the locations of other major cities in the Greater Tokyo Area. As Physarum avoids bright light, light was used to simulate mountains, water and other obstacles in the dish. The mold first densely filled the space with plasmodia, and then thinned the network to focus on efficiently connected branches. The network strikingly resembled Tokyo's rail system"
Not if you have to take down mountains
the video's description says "fungus" but its not actually, its closer to an amoeba
amazing.
excellent!
looks like growing fan coral
fascinating .. TOP BLOB ..
Thx Joe
This is what the Human race is like once we start space exploration. We're here to spread life throughout the universe. We're Mold people!!!
No we are space Orcs.think about it. we are hard to kill with out a "killing blow", we breed fairly quickly considering what we can do and finally we have a will to expand and conquer
duuude for sure Americans are the literal embodiment of DAKKA-DAKKA MOAR GUNZ!

상훈이형 얘기듣고 보러왔습니당😊
Why does the mold strengthen pathways for sending nutrients back to the "core". Does fungus have a centralized stomach the nutrients need to reach?
I'm no expert, but I'd imagine the nutrients can be digested throughout the body, it's just sending some nutrients back to the center so that it can begin reproducing. Whether it's a seed or a spore, it'd probably need a fair amount of energy to develop the beginnings of it's offspring.
It makes no sense to me, because it said in the video that every fungus cell was self-sufficient, identical to the neighboring cell. So then why would there be a need to cooperate in the storage or processing of food, like ants do? Ants have a queen and they have larvae, but why would a fungus have a special mass, does it have a stomach?
The central mass isn't really special, it's just larger because that is where the spores where first inoculated. When slime mold goes looking for food all the individual cells actually merge together. The whole tendril network is just cytoplasm with a bunch of nuclei floating in it with no cell membranes dividing them. The cytoplasm is pretty much flowing around through the whole network to distribute nutrients. I guess the advantage is slime mold in this plasmoid state actually moves the fastest of any micro-organism we know of, and the end goal is to distribute energy to as many nuclii as possible for the fruiting stage. When the food runs out the nuclii reform into individual cells and become fruiting bodies to release spores to re-produce. IDK it's all very weird, But at this stage in the life cycle it can really be thought of as a single organism for all intents and purposes.
so it can spread out and become a larger organism, instead of being many smaller. having longer arms means you can reach further out
Simply because that is the point of origin, those pathways have had the most time to develop.
slime mold such as P. Polycephalum can also be classified under the Kingdom Ameobazoa as proposed by The New Higher Level Classification of Eukaryotes with Emphasis on the Taxonomy of Protists (J. Eukaryot. Microbiol., 52(5), 2005 pp. 399-451)
Impressive
Paul Stamets brought me here !
The US just lets 3rd graders design the parking lots. Of course the slime mold could do a better job.
the slime mold would do infinitely better cause it wouldn't design parking lots in fact it would only have train and tram systems cause cars fucking suck (exceptions for disabled ofc)

Average communist comment
We need to see it do the Interstate System
I wonder what evolution of this slime millions or billions of years from now.
Interesting
collective distributed decision making is a kind of intelligence.
Politically Correct Slime says you can be colored yellow and still be efficient in traffic! Oh, and so does the slime mold.
could've added mountains and things, but they can dig and build bridges...
Assumptions:
every point has equal value?
excludes the value of other transport like air?
Peak / off peak times? (maybe can be changed by factor like x2 for peak)
what else?
Curious, what were the results of the consecutive experiments, did the map look the same?
Video of the slime mould network compared to Tokyo rail network:
ruclips.net/video/w29Ip3eZ6A4/видео.html
I'd like to see it happen multiple times to see if the fungus creates a consistent formation...if so then it proves its not random, but logic.
it would because it runs on chemotaxis... also yes we do this in class its the same way every time with the exception of small curves here and there but the routes are the same. chemotaxis is just the cells ability to detect a food through chemicals and move toward or away ( if its bad chemicals that may harm or kill it) its not intelligent is just receptors that cause and action. free of thought.
There's many other instances of mazes being used. The slime mold completely avoids the dead ends, and finds the shortest route to the food.
Nah some mold humbled engineers
Mold does DFS 😳
Como pode um vídeo em formato de shorts há 12 anos sendo que esse formato só foi disponibilizado no RUclips durante a pandemia.
Gave a patch while introducing shorts
Not plants, animals or fungii, slime molds, next to man, are one of the strangest creatures in nature. See RUclips video "Slime molds and other strange creatures, Simplified".
Misalkan hal yang sama diulangi kembali beberapa kali, apakah hasilnya akan tetap sama?
I don't get it. Wouldn't the most efficient path be a straight line to each piece of food?
Uhhh... Imagine what that can do to you upon making entrance into ppl 👀🥺
bro
Do you think like that when you're about to have sex?
Fungi are easily older than the formation of the earth which appears to be conscious & intelligent. #PaulStamets
except this is not a fungi its a protist... lol fungi like but still a protist. and it is not conscious or intelligent. its runs off chemo taxis. so it moves to concentrated chemicals of nutrition. where it can not get to a food source fast enough it dies out and where it can get to a food source faster it grows bigger because of chemo taxis a basic function of any protist the only difference is that it can spread out as it stays in one spot.
How long did this take?
if memory serves, slime mold moves 1 cm per hour
Jazoray That's not so bad.
28 hours
Yet this video provides no Tokyo map for comparison?
wow
The subway system might not have been able to make the most efficient journies due to planning permission.
The mould could possibly send back low-level electric or chemical signals through all routes taken to the last food source. The ones that make it through in the most energy efficient way would have the strongest signal, which are the only ones reinforced.
We are the mold upon planet earth
it looks like the tunnels in stranger things
And?
Am I the only one who does not understand how it helped? They might have already have a map and just wanted to connect the points, and where is the start and the ends?
This annoys me so much. The mold is randomly growing in all directions then dying off where its not getting nutrients. Nothing even remotely resembling intelligence
biswa got me here
how & where does he mention this?
Wow 2018
Who figured out gravity?
This could be the external mind’s powers magnetic effects. Some kind of withdrawal. We see a human face shapes. Our face muscles begin reflecting the shape. We see views, it happens on a juicy human s watery structure . Ona A sensor. May be a reflection of a view on water. 🇹🇷i ❤ u 🇯🇵
les see ai's map ?
But has the slime mold ever tried DMT
I don't get it
They say this was super smart and stuff but this is impractical in reality right? I mean it disregards all natural terrain, private property and housing
Joe 'blady' Rogan brought me here.......
Coincidence? I think not.
What about terrain?

I am pretty sure they did do terrain, there is a lot more info on it if you look up a vid called "this slime mold could replace your brain."
It looked like my grandma after I beat her Easter day
What?? You beat your grandma

it's NOT a fungus! Bad science journalism again. I'm surprised Harvard magazine would let something so wrong slipped through...
أأدعوا الله أأدعوا الرحمن أأشكر الله أأشكر الرحمن الرحيم العزيز الحكيم ربنا الله رب العالمين الحميد المجيد ( فلله الحمد رب السماوات ورب الأرض رب العالمين ، وله الكبرياء فى السماوات والأرض وهو العزيز الحكيم ) ( تبارك اسم ربك ذى الجلال والإكرام ) ( تبارك الذى بيده الملك وهو على كل شىء قدير ) ( فسبحان الذى بيده ملكوت كل شىء وإليه ترجعون ) ( هل جزاء الإحسان إلا الإحسان ، فبأى الاء ربكما تكذبان ) ( أإله مع الله ) لا إله إلا الله .
Shut up
Can anyone tell me why this is intelligent?
Am I the only one who doesn't see the big deal here?
oh no...godzirra!
Stranger things anyone? lol, ruined.
Two thoughts. One is that we definitely do not live in a mechanistic Universe. Sorry to all of the reductionists out there, but we do not so deal with it. The other is that we might be dealing with an alien intelligence---right here on Earth! Further testing is required to test that hypothesis. Hey Harvard, have you tried actual communication?
Wouldnt it be a terrestrial intelligence then?
Jarthen Greenmeadow
Exactly. Not sure how 'alien' can be derived from observing a life form that been on Earth longer than almost every other form of life.
If the food is placed in the exact places to force the mold to create the map, it's not creating the map.
Its about the connections between the locations.
Slime molds are dumb af.
This is dumb.
That’s not intelligence it’s all spreading bout evenly
