Fun fact: Jamie Hyneman once proved that he can motorcycle on water at least for a short time and distance until, due to lack of thrust, the motorbike loses too much speed and sinks.

In Top Gear they successfully drove a smowmobile and a dune buggy across a lake. This makes me wonder just how necessary the forward movement is, and whether you could actually slow down and stop by lowering another set of rapidly rotating wheels into the water, but rotating backwards. Or by transitioning from powered waterwalking to buoyancy and back, by spinning the active element out of the water and then gradually lowering it in to start moving.

DNA replication and repair is full of chicken and egg impossibilities. How on earth does dumb evolution time and pressure create enzymes that "kmow" how to find errors and trigger a cascade of proteins to cooperate with each other to one to clip, another to remove, another yo replace, and yet another protein to repair? Do you have the slightest idea how mitosis works? How does that complex system of on and off switches arise with no overall purpose and plan? What causes a cell to even want to divide? Pressure?

It's weird to think about that they are basically showing us a different form of what it takes us to figure out moving from land to air. They move on top of water. That place between 2 states of matter. Air, water, land. All different densities with different types of air resistance, drag, lift, fluid dynamics, resistance, etc. Etc. It's really interesting to think we have these meeting points between 2 layers of matter. (Fresh water meets salt water/air meets land/ different layers of air in our atmosphere and where it meets space/ then there's a ton of different types of land that changes a ton of factors in the movement across that land)

This reminds me of the first time I watched the Wild Kratts episode on basilisks 😊

Around my hometown in the isthmus of Oaxaca, Mexico. We call them "Pasa rios", literally "River crossers"

So I was rewatching the original Avatar: The Last Airbender, and they use these very lizards as mounts in one episode. As always, I'm pretty impressed by the research those animators did.

It WALKED on water, right in front of me in La Fortuna! It was quite amazing

You should do a video on flying fish!

We can easily fly with manual powered wings on moons in the Solar system, I think especially for one of the moons of Saturn with a thicker atmosphere. Lots of water there too to walk on.

I tried to explain this lizard to my class years and years ago. Hubris not being something I understood at the time I didn't get why the teacher would be so quick to demean and mock me for talking about something I'd read in a book from that same school's library. A year later I was explaining that 'Sarcophagus' was a real word, and had to bring a dictionary in to back myself up. The point is, I went to a public school. Don't do that.

A lizard that walks on water, Jesus Christ😮😮😮

It's not a water "strider" it's a "Water Skipper!" Because of the way they move! A stride is how you walk down the sidewalk you take strides or continuous steps! These insects don't do that they SKIP across the water by "flexing" their legs and springing themselves across the surface of the water.

You know reasonably powerful remote controlled cars can cross a good stretch of water easily if they are going fast enough.

Grebes can also run on water without using wings when courting

@Realscience, I believe what you meant about "buoyancy" is "surface tension of the liquid" 5:35 .

@vikasga8719

3 ай бұрын

Hi. Sorry to intervene, but she probably meant buoyancy in the sense that the insect's feet provide a wide area of contact reducing the chance of breaking surface tension and sinking. Surface tension probably isn't suitable in the context of the sentence as she said "the buoyancy created by these legs ..." where replacing 'buoyancy' with surface tension would suggest the insect can create surface tension which is not the case. I'm very sorry for any inconvenience caused by my comment. Please enlighten me if I am wrong.
