I was wondering if that will bubble over... it kinda looked like way too many videos were spreading on 4chan for it to be fake, but we'll see. Really odd with those videos and the "graphene strands" start wiggling - probably just graphene exposed to heat?
I expect things there to be faked. Anyone with credibility seen the videos care to comment?
- freeone3000 6y agoWhen air moves around small fibers, they move. Look at literally any fibrous material under a microscope and you'll see this -- it's really cool to see exactly how small individual fibers in a thread are!
- pyinstallwoes 6y agoYeah but the videos are more than just "air" - they don't move until applied moisture/heat then they move on their own without more. Kind of like those Japanese dishes with little flakes on them?
- ceejayoz 6y agoAnyone with frizzy hair can conclusively tell you inert, dead material can change with moisture/heat.
- pyinstallwoes 6y agoYou're doing a generalization without looking at the vid... why not look?
- ceejayoz 6y agoI did. As a kid, I had these: https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Capsules-various-themes-package/dp/B000096R2E https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Capsules-various-themes-package... They moved, grew and changed shape when put in water, too. That doesn't make them alive. Or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGPfSSUlReM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGPfSSUlReM A thin strand of material moving around when put in water is not at all surprising to me.
- Igelau 6y ago> They moved, grew and changed shape when put in water, too. That doesn't make them alive. Or they were alive and part of a shadow operation to deploy an army of plasticky animals into homes.
- pyinstallwoes 6y agoSo a cell isn't alive? It moves in a stream of water and other stuff(s). I guess not that surprising.
- ceejayoz 6y agoA cell is alive. Some things move because they're alive. Some living things don't move. Some non-living things move, too. Movement is not conclusive evidence of life. These videos - setting aside the legitimacy of 4chan for a moment - demonstrate "if you put the fiber in water, it moves", not "these fibers are alive".
- pyinstallwoes 6y agoWell, given that there exists no formal definition of life then that's just like, your opinion, man. I say that in jest, but, it has merit. Any definition you try will be contested, even in academia.
