Water doesn't conduct electricity. The impurities in the water does. This can be easily demonstrated by trying to pass a current through a bowl of distilled water vs a bowl of tap water.
@@michaelmayhem350 also if you want to dive that deep here: Pure Water contains 10^-7 M of H^+ and OH^-(self-ionization of water). These ions can conduct electricity. So chemically pure water has an electrial conductivity of 0,055 μS/cm. Thats not good but still better than air I believe. But overall I think this isnt important for the point of the video :) Edit: @RealScience Your videos are all well made. Keep it up.
Cutting off shark fins is really one Of the cruelest things I’ve witnessed done to animals. Sharks are amazing and fascinating animals, and it’s horrible to see them die such an undignified and cruel death just for some shitty soup.
Rich people do the strangest things when they have money. I did a project on shark finning and the global issues around it in middle school. The fins are practically flavourless and are mainly put in dishes for texture. And there’s absolutely no nutritional value because fins are cartilage (and can literally be found in cows, pigs, etc.)
The clip of the fin-less shark being discarded broke my heart. Growing up in China I've always been aware of the consumption of shark fins, although now the situation gets better, thinking of still many shark are being tortured like that and thrown into the water alive, sinking in the bottom waiting to die is painful :( Hope all sharks a bright future although it's probably unlikely :,(
That footage of the shark with its fins hacked off sinking to the ocean floor at the end of the video was utterly heartbreaking. Unbelievable that people can be so cruel.
@@sircaruso9917 Yep, they sure do. Which is why I say that we need deal with it the only way that I have seen work, make people pay to get a license to do it, put a quota on the number of sharks that can be taken, put it in law that they have to use the whole shark, and use the money generated from the licensing to enforce the law and punish those who break it.
@@christophergardiner5351 Or we could oust the communist bastards that stripped and continue to strip these people of their culture, morality, and dignity, so that they may once again have empathy.
Watching that finless shark sink helplessly to the bottom of the ocean, was crushing. Such a beautiful, complex, and brilliant creature, so heartlessly robbed.
Honestly!! I insist that humanity as a whole needs to get back in tune with nature. Who knows how much better our senses could get. Or it could all go to hell. However, everything I've read, seen, or heard of implies we'd be better off and would have a more in depth understanding of our own existence.
what's worse is a single fin takes less than a minute to consume and for each fin soup is a dead shark, just imagine the sheer amount of sharks killed for just a quick meal
Maybe it’s because the appearance of a shark is much more suited to the image of “a terrifying, human-slaughtering beast of the seas” with their large teeth and attraction to blood or whatnot. When people see an orca, they just think it’s a reverse aquatic panda.

I wonder how they separate the signals though. The ocean must be really "loud" for them, how do they know it's a stingray sending out the electrical impulses and not something else? I can't comprehend. Awesome animals.
@@bawbag8903 Suppose its the difference between feeling the wind on your skin, and someone poking you. If they can sense nanovolts, id imagine having a beating heart of electricity right under your nose would be quite noticeable even with so much ‘noise’ elsewhere
That footage of the finless shark plummeting to the sea floor was appalling. I'm incredibly glad you showed it, but it's appalling. I'm not outright against the killing of animals, but the combination of outright cruelty and waste is just mind bending. I struggle with how humans can so easily disconnect from certain realities (I struggle with how I see it in myself as well). A fisherman would know that these sharks would still be alive when they're thrown back in, if they just stopped to even think about what they're doing. If they're hellbent on wasting the rest of the shark, just slit the damn thing's throat before you throw it back, you sick fuck
Did u know lobsters were cooked while they were still alive?? They are thrown into boiling waters in order to preserve the meat. So yes there are many unknown cruelties that we might not know of just from simple eating
Lobsters most definitely DO feel pain. Old (19th century maybe?) whalers reports mention the wailing moans and cries of agony as sperm whales were caught and processed on the ships, and that dealing with THAT was one of the hardest parts of the job. And for what? Fucking OIL to fuel fucking LAMPS. Thank god oil (petroleum) extraction and processing came right along, to fill the gap until eletric powered public and home lighting became a thing. Humans are capable of any atrocities given the right circunstances - against anyone, and everyone. And I’m pretty sure we committed most of them. And it doesn’t have to be much: it is not hard to imagine a fisherman ou whaler performing their job disconnected from the morality of it, just as a meat packing plant worker, for that most needed paycheck. We suck.
@@jangofett9083 There are studies being done on it because humans are still unsure. From some studies I've read about, I think they do. Even if you don't know whether they do or not, why risk torturing them anyways? It's equally as cruel as not caring, if not worse.
It’s really interesting to think about how, an animal that has been around for literally million of years just out of the blue made a species so different from the rest and out of the ordinary, yet it ended up being very complex and enhanced from the norm
I think it's amazing that you have built a channel that can make younger people aware of the damage that's being done to wild and ocean life. I wish you all the best as we need more people like you, who think of the impact we are having on the planet. I subscribed because there is a huge need for more like you. I think cutting fins off sharks is criminal and should be treated as such!
You can also do it. You can selectively pay attention to what your friend is saying in the middle of a loud concert with thousands of other people ahouting beside you.

Hammerheads are amazing... Years ago, while trolling off the coast of Florida, I encountered one... I was headed due south, and we spotted it heading aproximately SE. Fin out the surface, big fella... But we were on an intercept course. He came to within ~100 ft of the boat, then turned off to the west. He circled around, well behind our baits, and resumed his original course. I swear he had GPS.
@@julianshepherd2038 dragging baits behind the boat. Mostly surface skimming baits. Sometimes you can run a downrigger, and it will pull bait lower underwater. All with fishing poles... Always thought of trawling as Net dragging, of course I could be wrong, lol!
There's something I love about this channel having discovered it only yesterday. The depth of knowledge is the perfect amount, without too many details but enough for someone to really understand what's happening. I love it. Big props to you for clearly distinguishing yourself from all the "fun facts about___" garbage floating around on RUclips
Documentaries like these make me fall in love with the ocean; But then realizing the horrors of deep sea stuff, sunk debris, ocean survival, etc. make me terrified of it again....
"Researchers laser scanned the heads of 8 sharks and ran the scans through a virtual fluid simulation" has got to be the absolute coolest thing I've ever heard
@Dick Johnson I don't have a super exciting life, but also this is a super exciting thing! Laser scanning anything is neat that we can even do it at all, the idea of fluid simulations boggles my mind as to how difficult that must be to make since we know so little about modeling turbulence, and sharks are neat. Very cool!

What an incredible creatures! Here in Costa Rica, we must to help to conserve the population of winghead sharks, like those near to Coco's island. The nature just need we respect his live cycle and don't hunt indiscriminately the animals
@@wraithwrecker_ I wish. To this day sharks are considered a comercial species here and are under the control of the “Costarican Institute of Fishing and Aquaculture” who continues to fish the poor things even though they’re critically endangered.

Excellent work. Impressive! I am a teacher and I believe school lessons should be something like life adapted version of such videos. I have never saw nor made a pressentation or life clasroom performance even close to this level. Of course, in RUclips I see a worldclass quality. But anyway, this channel is in the educatuional top tier.
this video was so well done, great balance between the more detailed science and the exciting footage! as a marine biologist I really enjoyed this but I think it would also be great for non-specialists. the graphics were super slick as well - great job!
hammerhead sharks are my favorite animal! I love how they are such fierce predators while also looking ridiculous!! I can only dream of a world where sharks will be respected and more conservation efforts can be put into place to help save these amazing creatures
@@fluentpiffle Because the main crux of the channel is making science fun and casual. Pure technicality can be reserved for papers. If this channel was all pretentious like you obviously wanted it to be, it would lose most of its viewers and, as a result, be far less effective as an educational tool.
You are getting better and better in presenting and making these videos. The pace has improved and the introduction is very good. Took 3 minutes but it did not feel excessive. You have come a long way from my last critique of your videos (Blood Groups). Keep it up and great job!
I know it's a few months old but this just came up for me. Fantastic vid and I have now subscribed. I do have a small number of nature based channels that i periodically dip in and out of. Well scripted and so easy to listen to. Great editing with the right amount visual to present your information without overloading the viewer. A nice length video that packs a lot in, much more than a 6 minutes soundbite and much more compact than hour documentary (although they have their uses too) Great stuff.
Great format... great narration... great video! Finally an American narrator that doesn' SHOUT AT YOU ALL THE TIME lol... and doesn't treat the viewer like a 5 year old kid, OR gives loads of stupid cliches! Subscribed!
The technical side of this video and this channel is truly impressive. Have to admit the fact they are providing free useful scientific information with such a great quality. A very big thanks for the people behind this channel ❤️😄🙏
Y'know, I love sharks and nature and all the cool stuff it produces, but at the same time, the idea that we humans might actually be the ones to game-end them is kinda impressive. Like these things have survived everything, asteroid impacts, super volcanos, ice-ages, massive changes to their environments, and just about every other top-tier species the ocean can produce. With having endured all that, It's crazy to think that a bunch of anxious apes with fancy sticks are their biggest threat to date. Really puts into perspective how nature doesn't pick favorites.
We must learn to be responsible with our power. Though in the end the big equalizer is our huge ego and greed which will be mankind's fall if they don't shape up.
@@Rinsuki lmao I was just pondering this at work. Walking down the oil refinery made me realize we’re all heading down to our own destruction. It’s okay tho, those who are left will witness the countless creatures that are bound to be born into the new world. 🥰
I mean you can never know. Like you said, they survived all those things through evolution. And we, humans, are the biggest threat to them now. Who knows? Maybe they will start walking and then come to the land and massacre us after thousands of years passed if humans keep killing them. Maybe it sounds like a movie. But after all these evolutions of life, that's no surprise if they start walking.

@@bricedudley4612 I don't understand why God would not choose to create life in a way that changes to suit the changing conditions on Earth. I think that life's ability to change form into a myriad of shapes and sizes over long periods of time is profound. Even the Creator's creations create new forms because the ability to change is built into DNA. What is more amazing than that? Also, who is to say that God would limit the creation of life to just one planet in this vast universe? To admit that we don't know if life exists elsewhere is wisdom. To say that we have all the answers is not, for nothing is impossible with God.
@@bricedudley4612 no need to stay ignorant and claim your beliefs as the correct ones. The original comment and reply have a far more complete and nuanced understanding of God, and I suggest you update your conception of the world, instead of assuming everyone besides you is wrong.

9:12 Now i know why octopus always looking for a shell. They try to mimic as a Hermit crab so other predators wouldn't waste their time to crack those shell
The predator/prey eye placement thing is actually tenuous at best. Eye placement is more of a cost/benefit thing. In the ocean, threats can come at you from any direction, so having binocular vision is less bebeficial than seeing as much as possible.
This was a great video, very thorough, beautifully presented and visuals and content sync was spot on. I learned a lot from this, and I love details, like tte vision and the electrical sensory stuff. Richard Dawkins talks about evolution as an accident as opposed to design, using the optical nerve in mammals that evolved when we were sea creatures, he did a famous dissection of a giraffe to demonstrate this. When we were sea creatures the optic nerve went directly from our eye to the brain, but as our bodies developed and articulated the nerve starts from the eye to the base of our neck then back up to the brain. It’s an accident of evolution. But in this video, it’s amazing how at the advent of shark evolution they varied numerously, plateaued for a while in their differences, then the hammerhead appears with incredible changes that even exceed our technology. Fascinating, thank you and great work.
This is one channel I will actually listen to the very end including the sponsor segment so you get the full algorithmic benefits. Love your videos and thank you for following your passion. And for sharing it with the world.
This definitely deserves the title of "video essay" a bit more than the film analysis channels in my opinion lol. The script reads exactly like a paper written for school and I'm all here for it edit: this is the only sponsor segment on youtube that does not feel forced in the slightest and actually feels relevant to the channel and to the audience
I love your channel. Its like old school Nat Geo I grew up with, but more information. More of a target audience for people who want to learn. Thanks for spreading good information.
Great video. Hammerheads have long been my favorite shark, ever since I was a little kid going to Sea World's summer camp, where I first acquired a love for the life of the oceans. Keep up the amazing work!
Great video. Regarding prey having wider set eyes and predators having narrow set ones; people often assume this means that humans were descended from super cool predators but fruit eating monkeys also have front set eyes. We are descended from tree living species who tended to hunt branches to jump to. As we left the trees we became omnivores so there was no strong pressure (or time) to adopt side set eyes but seeing ourselves as similar to lions because of our eye placement is misplaced pride (in you’ll permit the pun). Frankly, people think being an apex predator is the key step to evolving intelligence but I suspect that occupying a non-apex roll where one needs to hunt *and* escape hunters is a stronger driver for intelligence.
‘Human intelligence’ is mostly an epiphenomena. Even insects have extremely complex ‘strategies’ etc. Seeing human brains as super special and the goal of evolution is similar hubris to the binocular eye thing
6:00 on, Anyone not understanding their field of vision: if you drew a straight line directly forward from each of their eyes, their field of view would pass that line by 48°, so ahead of the diagram, they would overlap, but right next to the nose is a blind spot, so it doesnt overlap there because their view doesnt extend to that point
I recently discovered your channel and enjoy your videos immensely. Your array of film making skills and your presentation, make learning fun. I like the way you freely use technical terms in a way that can still be easily understood. Thanks.

@@blueboy1958 Very true, thanks for that perspective
That footage of the finless shark plummeting to the sea floor was appalling. I'm incredibly glad you showed it, but it's appalling. I'm not outright against the killing of animals, but the combination of outright cruelty and waste is just mind bending. I struggle with how humans can so easily disconnect from certain realities (I struggle with how I see it in myself as well). A fisherman would know that these sharks would still be alive when they're thrown back in, if they just stopped to even think about what they're doing. If they're hellbent on wasting the rest of the shark, just slit the damn thing's throat before you throw it back, you sick fuck
That shark fin soup is not even nice.
Did u know lobsters were cooked while they were still alive?? They are thrown into boiling waters in order to preserve the meat. So yes there are many unknown cruelties that we might not know of just from simple eating
@@l_ifeefi_l1998 I don’t think lobsters feel pain
Lobsters most definitely DO feel pain.
Old (19th century maybe?) whalers reports mention the wailing moans and cries of agony as sperm whales were caught and processed on the ships, and that dealing with THAT was one of the hardest parts of the job. And for what? Fucking OIL to fuel fucking LAMPS. Thank god oil (petroleum) extraction and processing came right along, to fill the gap until eletric powered public and home lighting became a thing.
Humans are capable of any atrocities given the right circunstances - against anyone, and everyone. And I’m pretty sure we committed most of them. And it doesn’t have to be much: it is not hard to imagine a fisherman ou whaler performing their job disconnected from the morality of it, just as a meat packing plant worker, for that most needed paycheck. We suck.
@@jangofett9083 There are studies being done on it because humans are still unsure. From some studies I've read about, I think they do. Even if you don't know whether they do or not, why risk torturing them anyways? It's equally as cruel as not caring, if not worse.
It broke my heart to see that shark sink without its fin that was cut off
That's how they do in China. They believe the fin has medicinal properties and discards everything else.
It’s really interesting to think about how, an animal that has been around for literally million of years just out of the blue made a species so different from the rest and out of the ordinary, yet it ended up being very complex and enhanced from the norm

I think it's amazing that you have built a channel that can make younger people aware of the damage that's being done to wild and ocean life. I wish you all the best as we need more people like you, who think of the impact we are having on the planet. I subscribed because there is a huge need for more like you. I think cutting fins off sharks is criminal and should be treated as such!
Their "sixth sense" is more amazing if you think that they can choose a specific living creature with a vast number of aquatic creatures around.
They can literally just choose what they want for dinner. They may be the only animal to do so
So they basically got a spectrum analyzer and can choose between signals...gg science

Hammerheads are amazing... Years ago, while trolling off the coast of Florida, I encountered one... I was headed due south, and we spotted it heading aproximately SE. Fin out the surface, big fella... But we were on an intercept course. He came to within ~100 ft of the boat, then turned off to the west. He circled around, well behind our baits, and resumed his original course. I swear he had GPS.

Y'know, I love sharks and nature and all the cool stuff it produces, but at the same time, the idea that we humans might actually be the ones to game-end them is kinda impressive. Like these things have survived everything, asteroid impacts, super volcanos, ice-ages, massive changes to their environments, and just about every other top-tier species the ocean can produce. With having endured all that, It's crazy to think that a bunch of anxious apes with fancy sticks are their biggest threat to date. Really puts into perspective how nature doesn't pick favorites.
We must learn to be responsible with our power. Though in the end the big equalizer is our huge ego and greed which will be mankind's fall if they don't shape up.

I mean you can never know. Like you said, they survived all those things through evolution. And we, humans, are the biggest threat to them now. Who knows? Maybe they will start walking and then come to the land and massacre us after thousands of years passed if humans keep killing them. Maybe it sounds like a movie. But after all these evolutions of life, that's no surprise if they start walking.
Humans don't care about darwin.

@@bricedudley4612 I don't understand why God would not choose to create life in a way that changes to suit the changing conditions on Earth. I think that life's ability to change form into a myriad of shapes and sizes over long periods of time is profound. Even the Creator's creations create new forms because the ability to change is built into DNA. What is more amazing than that? Also, who is to say that God would limit the creation of life to just one planet in this vast universe? To admit that we don't know if life exists elsewhere is wisdom. To say that we have all the answers is not, for nothing is impossible with God.

The predator/prey eye placement thing is actually tenuous at best. Eye placement is more of a cost/benefit thing. In the ocean, threats can come at you from any direction, so having binocular vision is less bebeficial than seeing as much as possible.
This was a great video, very thorough, beautifully presented and visuals and content sync was spot on. I learned a lot from this, and I love details, like tte vision and the electrical sensory stuff. Richard Dawkins talks about evolution as an accident as opposed to design, using the optical nerve in mammals that evolved when we were sea creatures, he did a famous dissection of a giraffe to demonstrate this. When we were sea creatures the optic nerve went directly from our eye to the brain, but as our bodies developed and articulated the nerve starts from the eye to the base of our neck then back up to the brain. It’s an accident of evolution. But in this video, it’s amazing how at the advent of shark evolution they varied numerously, plateaued for a while in their differences, then the hammerhead appears with incredible changes that even exceed our technology. Fascinating, thank you and great work.

This is a great vid, especially for a shark lover
Great video. Hammerheads have long been my favorite shark, ever since I was a little kid going to Sea World's summer camp, where I first acquired a love for the life of the oceans. Keep up the amazing work!
Great video. Regarding prey having wider set eyes and predators having narrow set ones; people often assume this means that humans were descended from super cool predators but fruit eating monkeys also have front set eyes. We are descended from tree living species who tended to hunt branches to jump to. As we left the trees we became omnivores so there was no strong pressure (or time) to adopt side set eyes but seeing ourselves as similar to lions because of our eye placement is misplaced pride (in you’ll permit the pun).
Frankly, people think being an apex predator is the key step to evolving intelligence but I suspect that occupying a non-apex roll where one needs to hunt *and* escape hunters is a stronger driver for intelligence.
Well humans needed that intelligence since literally almost everything else in the world can cap us if we don't have tools, or strategies.
‘Human intelligence’ is mostly an epiphenomena. Even insects have extremely complex ‘strategies’ etc. Seeing human brains as super special and the goal of evolution is similar hubris to the binocular eye thing
