The Fastest Animals Are Way Faster Than You Think

↓ More info and sources below ↓
The fastest animal in nature isn't what you think it is. It's way, way smaller than that. Nature's tiniest creatures warp the laws of physics, and they do it in ways that even human engineers would gawk at. Using the power of super slow-motion macro video, let's uncover the biological engineering that lets nature's fastest creatures do their zoomy thing.

    You can get even more energy release speed by peeling a regular plastic sticky tape reel. As you pull on the end of the tape to get a piece for some repair or sealing purpose, the thin layer of glue at the edge of the tape still on the reel stretches an enormous amount for its size and then tears and snaps back flat onto the piece of tape in your hand. This sudden release is so fast that it will cause a black body light release for an object at 100,000 degrees C - more than 10 times the temperature on the surface of the Sun!!! - creating a dim, very thin line of visible light (in a perfectly dark room where you have let your eyes' irises open to maximum and you look very closely at the tape) where you are peeling it AND ALSO A FLASH OF SOFT X-RAYS!!! Nobody ever anticipated this until somebody noticed the dim light and they used a multispectral camera to see what was being released. The Universe is a CRAZY thing!

    @@buzzlightyear6960 Actually, I was waiting for someone to say that to me. I'm a person who gets paranoid easily. Till this day because of cockroaches alone, I'll sometimes scream just because I heard a noise near me that I thought might've come from a roach. I also never step into places without caution and I check my meals aggressively before eating them incase an intruder accidentally got cooked in it. Worst of all, I stay up till the morning for an entire week whenever a cockroach has entered my bedroom incase it's still around or incase there are more. Therefore, if a roach was ever to touch me or crawl on me or even bite me, that could cause me to become even more paranoid. First let's talk about if a cockroach were to bite me (and they do bite), if simple alcohol didn't fix the issue whether it was because the bite wasn't properly cleaned or so on, I would become very sick and get a bad infection that would be very problematic, especially for my already poor family which already has to borrow money for groceries because it would be hard to get me to the hospital. This event would also worsen my paranoia. Now let's talk about if it were to crawl on me. It is similar to the biting in the sense that it would make me more paranoid than ever. Maybe this would fade but not when I'm an adult and living in my own shelter. If a cockroach were to be nearby in my settlement when I'm older, it would cause me to lack sleep because I'd have to keep an eye on it. Lacking sleep would worsen my job productivity or even studies. My actions could also disrupt my romantic partnership with someone. All of these could become a factor leading into me having a worse off lifestyle. Since for quite a while I will live alone, and far from my friends and family, I could become depressed because of my terrible lifestyle. (Since I've been lacking sleep and other much needed things). And depression doesn't lead to a good place. I could lose even more productivity, lose or waste a lot of money and gorge myself in food for comfort. My life for a while would be a sad mess. Lastly, giving me a 1/2 chance of ending my own life. If I do choose to end it, then cockroaches, therefore will become a small factor in my own end.

    If you want the physics, the reason these tiny insects can accelerate so fast is they have very little weight or mass. Force equals mass times acceleration or to use a bit of algebra, acceleration equals Force divided by mass. The smaller the mass the faster the acceleration. These insects weigh a fraction of a gram. So with a small amount of force they can accelerate very fast. An elephant has a lot of mass so even with a lot of force he accelerates rather slowly but not as slowly as an oil tanker which has an unbelievable amount of mass. Electrons weigh far less than these insects so electrons without much force can accelerate to near the speed of light.

    How do they do it? Energy: Requires very little energy because mass (which translates to inertia) is low. Strength: G's affect mass the same, but mass is low, so they don't die. Physics: Mass is very tied in with physics (inertia/momentum, gravity, time-space, magnetism, light, etc) so in general, if you change the object's shape, substance, or in this case mass, you invariably change its properties.

    These insects and bugs at their fastest, have a peak velocity greater than any animal, even if it means for fractions of a second it still means at that moment they are faster than virtually every other animal, and are thus the fastest animals. They are faster than you think because people (most) assume the fastest animals are cheetahs, etc. Cheetah's also have a top speed (which is used for ranking their spot as one of the fastest animals), same as these insects that have far higher top speeds. The thumbnail isn't clickbait because it's a question asking whether these animals are faster than rockets, and the answer is no, they only accelerate faster. There is no clickbait.
