What's crazy is the original line that was keeping 1 and 3 together became redundant after 3 matched with 4, and you see it start to die off pretty quickly.
Maybe it's just all the acid I've done...but I think that all of humanity would benefit from watching this entire video. I sat and watched this in total awe inspired silence; while the slime mold crawled and crept, I understood the rise and fall of cultural trends, the whole of civilization's triumphs and follies. I saw the veins and arteries of our bodies and of our souls form and die with "the times". And for a flashing moment, it all made sense. This video needs music...
Ppl say these things are "smart"? It found all 3 pieces of food by pure chance. Just look in all directs and eventually you'll find food. What a genious of an organism.
This is exactly what I imagine “Space Exploration” to be like. Say Earth is the nucleus of Physarum polycephalum and each food is another viable planet thousands or millions of miles away. Yup... space exploration is going to be tough.
It appears Physarum polycephalum calculates a sphere surface of 1d loops enclosing 2d sphere surface, each moving opposite every one it touches at those points meaning something is held equal between them and to keep that equality the borders between the loops change shape. The outer such loop would be turning opposite all the others, which when viewing a planar graph as a sphere surface it rotates to reverse direction so actually they all turn the same (a debt of what caused this unbalance, answer is the food source and electricity in the slime). In physics there is a tool that opens like pliars and closes a loop around any coil to measure, I think its magnetic flux, and when I first heard that it made no sense why it gives the same reading regardless of where the tool is held as long as it closes the loop. It appears to be that gravity, which is pushing near perpendicular to the slime as its on a mostly flat surface, is any existence of a sphere where things all turn the same direction and cover its surface (planar graph), at least in this simple case without going to more dimensions, and there is something related to torque between when the slime is changing back and forth only between small ends which form a mostly smooth surface and do not approach the stronger loops, where this outer opposite flowing loop (which is not really the right thing to call it but close) can be something about the time or frequency when the slime nearly doesnt change and flashes between small loops appearing and being sucked back in, and something more about space when its expanding about the same speed. It should be that this planar graph (modified somehow with torque etc how the loops relate to eachother) of where the slime grows and closes 2d areas, could be viewed as any of those loops being the outer loop unseen as its border. Earth's gravity, which does affect the slime and everyday events, may work to rotate it as if it were one of the loops the slime grew. It is of course an object within these physics and a simple life form, so some math should be common between its behaviors and how a fluid finds its lowest level.
Hi WIll, hope you can see this message. I wonder what are the 4 pieces of food in this video? It looks like oat, but how in such perfect shape? Thanks! I am doing research on that and looking for some standardized food. This could be very good option!
tit sims to be a simple formula, the one closest to the food wins. it also seems that it has 2 tactics, one scanning the closest area, and when that fails, make a run for it by going after the best smell trail of food. it's a quite amazing being, it's like a brain without a body.
It's like the German army invading Russia (or ISIS invading Syria) forming a supply line, bypassing the insignificant cities (food) for the latter waves to mop up. What would happen if the vein was cut? Will the blob try to restore it? Or would it act as two separate entities? What if a rival blob was put in? Will they compete with each other or work together?
uh so.. 2 and a half days in 9 mins? That's 3600 mins in 9 mins I think... that's 400 mins per min or 400 seconds per second I think. So x400 speed is the answer I was looking for xD
God has indicated such miracles of His creation in Chapter 2 of Verse 26.... "Indeed, Lord (Allah) is not ashamed to set forth an example (like) even (of) a mosquito and (even) something smaller than it. Then as for those who believed, [thus] they will know that it (is) the truth from their Lord. And as for those who disbelieved [thus] they will say what (did) intend Allah by this example? He lets go astray by it many and He guides by it many. And not He lets go astray by it except the defiantly disobedient."..... Such miracles are easy for God
It really frustrated me when it got so close to the second bit of food but then retracted and spread out to the third bit. It was like watching a race hahah
I was absurdly happy when it finally found that last bit of food. :P
thought it was just me lol
Is happiness absurd ?
Are you sure you weren't INSANELY happy ?
It's not finished yet. It won't be completely satisfied until it finds YOU! ;)

Cool baby
Love it!
Big, Not Good I shocked someone else was thinking about those topics.
I thought of that with no acid….lol
I think acid also causes my interest in this video.

Well it can't see so yea
I was so excited when it finally found all 4 food circles! :D
I found this very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
The best optimizations ever.

i like how your mind works
Plutôt en dizaine ou centaine de milliards de kilomètres si nous sortons du système solaire.
This is happening in my coffee cup.
Thumb up if you actually sat through 8:54 minutes and scroll down to see who did the same. This stuff is pretty cool right!!!
I played it at 2x speed, but I don't consider it cheating since the original is also sped up.

No!
Ikr
that would end up being an extremely convoluted way to describe what is is a much simpler mechanism
Looks like they're communicating back and forth to find food. Interesting
Interesting that the slaimmold chose the 3. object first than the 4. and finally the closest.
If you google "physarum polycephalum biological supplies" you will find several companies that sell it.
It looks like an AI playing an intricate game of resource management and procurement
Is this an example of breadth first search?
Ow, well i enjoyed that very much thanks.

Consecrated host, probably.
Gus Xia they are oats
I was reading total meditation and it lead me here. Not mad, quite content.
Wow... Me too! I just now reached the page and got curious to see what is it actually,😅
Strange how it missed the source nearest to it, initially.
I d like to know a few things: What is in the tablets? Did it skip it accidentally or on purpose? and is it really returning or dying?
This is how the zombie apocalypse starts
why it avoided the middle left tablet?
Pretty amazing stuff.
If this thing ever evolves eyes we're fucked
Where do they come from? How do you acquire it
why do you think it reached the 2nd node last?
Это слизевик, верно? Чем он питался? Похоже на бумажные пластинки, пропитанные чем-то питательным, например, бульоном.
LOOOOVE slime molds!!!
ever tried to put them on or around magnets?
the physarum polycephalum have some sense of smel like the cuscuta remosa?
Amazing 👏
is this stop motion or is this actually moving before my eyes?
it moves, that's what makes this slime mold interesting.
what im saying is that is this sped up or is this normal recording speed
austin ray Apparently you have one of two problems... 1) you can't read the video description... or 2) you have no clue what time-lapse means.
+austin ray clear answer it is time-lapse It took 2 & 1/2 days if you had bothered to read the description it is all there
Great stuff! May we get a vid now of grass growing?
I'm planning to do some of vegetables growing next year.

beautiful to watch.
can slime molds live inside humans? intestines?
In video description, 2.5 days.

where do you obtain cultures for this? Thank you
This video was only 8 minutes. After several billion years they develop their own : )

not how it works lol nice try tho
Impeccably astute deduction.
How long does it live for?
Forever

Joel died
i legit just found out about this thing today and immediately remembered it from the intro of the first game
I was a bit sad that it didn't have a straight line connecting the four
But didn’t it conform to the shape of a branch or root, the types of environments that it might have seen before this situation?
I wish I can get one at home as a pet.
do these things die? or if thay finde alot of food just live for ever..

uh so.. 2 and a half days in 9 mins?
That's 3600 mins in 9 mins I think... that's 400 mins per min or 400 seconds per second I think.
So x400 speed is the answer I was looking for xD

Then it starts dying. :(
Then it starts reproducing : from wikipedia, when it runs out of food, this species makes spores that can last years and wait for wind.
Thank you youtube for 2x speed.... is there a 10x speed ? This is like watching microbes moving around
There are microbes that move really fast.

Zerg's creep!
This one was pretty dumb
I've seen more intelligence in a Trump supporter.
even playing this video at double speed was too slow...
it could remember the way to the food. it wait until gonna out of the food, it go there to take...so amazing
Wow, it's as if it skipped the node adjacent to connect with the 3rd and 4th. I wonder why....
Random chance
It really frustrated me when it got so close to the second bit of food but then retracted and spread out to the third bit. It was like watching a race hahah
