    Good news! Selenite is water soluble, so even if it does wind up all over the place and in your lungs, it'll eventually just pass through you. Still, I wouldn't recommend huffing fluffy rocks. Also, it was probably breaking down from ambient humidity.

      Nah, it's gypsum that grew up to be really fancy. It'll certainly linger for a while, since it isn't quite that soluble, but it's not going to stick around forever like some other rocks that go airborne. (If that's setting off alarm bells for any drywall installers, that stuff's mainly spooky because of the silica commonly used alongside gypsum.)

      Selenite a form of gypsum is actually not healthy to ingest as the particulates are not fine enough to "pass through your body" how ever diatacious (probably not spelled right) earth is gypsum that has been sifted/filtered so that the particulates are fine enough to be ingested by humans. Be sure to get the one labeled for human consumption as both are sold.

      Most bird's eyes are actually fixed in their sockets. Owls are able to swivel their necks 270 degrees _in either direction,_ which means they can easily see at any angle without moving their torso. And the tube shape does not necessarily specifically aid with vision, it's just necessary to fit such enormous eyes in such a tiny cranium. The goal seems to be to form the largest retinal image possible, which improves foveal resolution in the daytime (smaller airy disks) and provides more information for cortical computation in the nighttime (giving better edge detection, for instance). Interestingly, owls are farsighted and cannot focus on anything within a few centimeters of their eyes, though I suppose they don't find this much of an inconvenience. I guess that's kind of inevitable with fixed, cylindrical eyes.

    Hey DONGers... Mineral Resources Engineer here. (Sorry, I couldn't resist) Nothing bad can happen if you just lick some selenite, or any other gypsum-like material. You should avoid inhaling it in large quantities though. Gypsum (and thus Selenite) is ranked #2 in MOHS scale of hardness, making it one of the most soft/brittle minerals. FYI, the hardest is of course, the Diamond, which is ranked #10.

    • @Undy1
      @Undy1 6 лет назад +31

      True, but that type of vision would be ridiculously impractical - with it you could only see objects that were smaller than your eye since the image on the retina is always the exact size as the object it's looking at. For example if you wanted to see a whole door that's in front of you, you would need to have an eye as big or bigger than that door. Though it would not matter how far the door would actually be from you - it would always appear to be exactly the same.
      Also if anyone is curious how it would look like to see like this it's actually very common in 3d graphics:
      -in video games that use isometric projection - they were very popular once, now mostly indie titles use it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection
      -any 3D software like Blender, 3ds Max, Maya etc will have a viewport that can display the scene in what's called orthographic projection - a type of parallel projection. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_projection
      And here's a screenshot from Blender showcasing perspective vs orthographic projection: easyblend.org/html/_images/3dperspective.jpg

    • @eltimbalino
      @eltimbalino 6 лет назад +9

      If you had two eyes, each with only parallel light hitting each retina, and the eyes had any distance between them, but were pointed at the same object, the brain could perceive 3D. This is because the eyes would see two slightly different images.

      @andresxj1 6 лет назад +96

      That would be a really small image. Imagine you want to take a picture of a chair: using the usual technique is easy, because the light would reach the camera lens from the top of the chair with some angle, and the same for the bottom, so we can have a full image of the chair (from top to bottom). But if we wanted to use a camera with a selenyte lens to take a picture of the chair, we would need a camera with a size at least as big as the chair, because now the light can only pass the lens if it is perpendicular, so in order to have a full image, we would need a chair-sized lens that would capture the entire chair's parallel light projection. Hope I made it clear enough!

      Ok, let's get some things straight. What you're looking for is called a "Telecentric Lens". Yes, it exists.
      This is a concept called orthographic projection. Basically an orthographic projection is the same concept as if you were looking at an object from an infinite distance. So if you put a lens on your camera that has a very high zoom level, like 500mm, you're basically seeing the same thing as a parallel projection, only a tiny bit of perspective.

    I am really drunk right now but I just wanted to say, Micheal. Please don't put yourself in danger for us, we want to keep seeing you and we've lost enough people already like Stefan Karl ( Robbie Rotten) Don't enhale that selenite man, it's not worth it! It's not!

      It may be non-toxic but he meant inhaling it, which could definitely do some damage

    Yeah, the idea that extraterrestrial life may perceive things differently than human is scary for me. We won't even be able to have common grounds on things, we would just see each other as a threat.
    Anyway, nice to see you again Michael.

      G kev On Earth, evolution has come up with eyes the way they are now in many separate occasions. I think vision as we know it makes a lot of sense as is, and having it any other way in an efficient manner we would end up with a totally different sense

    It’s weird to think that right now I’m actually seeing something upside down, but it feels normal to us anyways.
    Well I’m not seeing it upside down, I’m just receiving those lights upside down. Luckily the brain does it for me :D

      if you were to wear glasses that made everything upside down, your brain would eventually learn to interpret it correctly, and then once you took those glasses off, your brain would need time to readjust again

      I think that's why you see everything upside down when you're first born. I heard that somewhere but it could be wrong. Makes me wonder if there's any mental disorder where your brain never corrects it so you always see everything upside down

    • @Perforated611
      @Perforated611 3 года назад

      HOW the brain does it is the mysterious part, to this day we don't know if it's a physical thing the brain does, meaning it's flipping the image by reversing neurons and/or synapsis, kind of like swapping wires around in a circuit so that positive is negative and negative is positive, or if it's a subconscious mental function, that psychologically we just get used to seeing things flipped.
      It's not just upside down either, images are flipped left to right as well (Michael used a 2D image to show this process, making it difficult to tell that both horizontal and vertical images are flipped, but it makes sense).
