"I'm not rude,I'm just old" Thank you for this ,made my day ! Nice teaching of Topological Quantum Computing....we will be building more upon that idea.Sometimes science can jump the void between provable lab results and the intricate ways of nature.When equipment and data can verify a theory it is scientifically accepted .Sometimes a creature,a human is able to grasp concepts and just not be able to communicate,state them in a currently available scientific pattern.They might also not be under the pressures of sponsors,funding to interpret things sterilized. Freedom has brought forth many later proven ideas, pattern even inventions I applaud you at being able to walk the balance beams between many concepts, ballet slippers of politeness??

Dedication to politeness really only benefits people with power. It wasn't a Civil Debate than ended slavery, anf it took riots to help end things like child labor, 12-hour workdays, and some of the most extreme ways that black people have been oppressed. Even the gay rights movement started with a riot. As long as you aren't being intentionally rude or disrespectful to people who are already being systematically oppressed, don't ever let anyone make you feel guilty for being rude

@@baileescott401 no, it's a legitimate question from a researcher's perspective, although your phrasing wasn't really accurate to the subject of that video. There was no question about the existence of trans people in general not being a fad, but rather if such a subset exists among the cases of trans adolescents. It was an interesting and beneficial subject to explore. That said, she did a very poor job of it, from what I've been able to gather. Shoddy research overall, which is the only such case I've found in her videos so far. She deserves criticism for this failing, but it's also wrong to label it as intentionally transphobic or dismiss the rest of her body of work over it. People doing so are judging the video, and Sabine's points and shoddy research, through the lens of a culture war she genuinely seems to have no stake in. It strikes me as unhelpful and misguided, and might weaken the more legitimate objections one ought to have to her trans video.

There are thousands of species of plants, some of them don't like each other. Others only communicate under certain specific conditions. And there are a lot of different techniques, some of which no human has ever studied. There are even cases where a single tree sends out runners that pop up new trunks. It looks like a forest but is actually just one tree. Also some species only communicate with fungus, while others only communicate With bees, and only while flowering of course. Certain species of trees remain uncomunicative their entire lives unless they survived A forest fire recently. Some trees use chemical signals, others use electrical fields, while yet others Use shiny waxy leaves to reflect sunlight at each other in complex patterns. Some species can send roots into dead rotten logs and read the life history Of their fallen comrades, by tasting the variations of mineral concentrations Within its ring structures. All of the articles I have read on the subject, vastly oversimplified It. Some species even "taste" pollen from other species and integrate fragments of Genetic code. For instance, some species of Witch grass have picked up Gene fragments from over 100 other species.

I've seen where forest biologists used powerful hoses to wash away the soil to expose the root systems of two trees (I believe of the same species, Alder?). The well established mature tree was on a higher, more beneficial tier. The other smaller tree grew a few feet lower in elevation, in a less advantageous position. In analyzing their individual root systems, you could easily trace where a thick root from the mature tree had bumped up against a separate one originating from the lower tree. At the point of contact, you could clearly see how the roots touched, entangled and eventually melded into one another, creating one continuous root. There was a noticeable big knob or bulb that had formed where the roots had actually combined. I didn't know that was possible, but nature knows, and often astounds. I don't think it's a big leap to imagine tree sap being shared/exchanged with the less advantaged tree during a difficult environmental period.. I'd like to think of it as a nutrient rich transfusion line, or like an umbilical cord, but one that formed only after the trees had grown independently. Otherwise, why combine?

13:40 The fix is letting kids out of the house, instead of having them confined to a classroom for 6+ hours a day and then several more hours every day at home doing homework. No lens will fix the problem, because it's a developmental issue in the eye caused by insufficient daylight exposure at an early age. Different lens designs may worsen or improve eyesight by weakening or strengthening the muscles in the eye, but that's a purely symptomatic treatment as the underlying structure remains the same.

I have read that the very large increase in myopia in Asia is due to so many children now being born in cities and not spending enough time outside looking into the far distance. Especially in countries where there is severe pressure on children to achieve academically. A case of use it or lose it. Perhaps, letting these children play more outside and spend more time in places such as parks might be a better solution to avoid them damaging their vision in the first place. And maybe make better adjusted human beings at the same time.

Excellent video, Sabine! I always look forward to your science updates related to quantum computing. Thank you so much for this awesome weekly update !!!

Fascinating material! Thanks for bringing it to us, Sabine.

The findings of that paper don't suggest that trees don't communicate through fungal networks, just that they don't trade resources through them, which isn't something that was near as widely accepted. As the evidence currently stands, trees indeed do likely communicate through fungal networks and the same can be said for intra-fungal communication.

Thanks a bunch, Sabine! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I've found trees of the same species physically attached by their roots. One little stump, under a driveway for nearly 20 years, was being kept alive by the fusion of its roots to neighboring trees. I've seen this with wild black cherries, sassafras, maples, and several species of oaks.

Some species of trees make new shoots for the roots. So they clone them-self. So it's not two trees that have fused there roots. It's one tree that have created more stems. Plants in general don't have any clear individuals so it's hard to say what is a tree or plant and count them.

Just an anecdote but Oak trees do connect root systems. It's how Oak Wilt is transmitted. The nitidulid beetle is a carrier for Oak Wilt fungus that likes to eat the sap and nutrients from exposed Oak trees that have been pruned at the wrong time of the year when those insects aren't dormant. Pretty much from early Spring to about July in Central Texas, you're not advised to prune your Oak tree, giving it exposed wounds that would could potentially attract the bug that's also a carrier of the oak wilt disease. If one tree gets the disease, it's root systems will easily spread the disease to neighboring Oak trees whose root systems are connected to it. When arborist have to deal with the worst cases of Oak Wilt, they're often times advised to clear not only the infected tree but all oak trees within a 100 foot radius of the nearest infected tree, if only to suppress the potential spread to greater populations of oak trees nearby. This just one example, likely of many that does demonstrate trees do connect with one another which can be beneficial but can also have potentially negative consequences in pathogen spread too. From an evolutionary standpoint, it makes sense to me that trees would cooperate with each other besides nutrient transmission. More trees that are alive, even evergreen ones, that survive also shed leaves and create duff on the forest floor that will later break down into soil. The more trees you have alive doing that, the richer build up of soil over time. Also the more root systems in the soil, the more stable it'll be, making it less prone to erosion, so when the next big gusty thunderstorm comes and flooding begins, those trees collectively are probably more likely to survive than if alone as is their soil structure they grow in. Think like when laying out concrete and you insert rebar to make the concrete less prone to cracking over time. Those connected root systems are like rebar for the soil.

During forest fires, even if you put them out, the fire can spread through the underground network of roots and jump between trees that literally start to burn from their roots up after you extinguish the visibly burning tree next to it. It can take hours without anybody noticing and reignite forest fires. That is the reason why there is a lot of digging going on to stop a forest fire. Maybe those tree networks do not need fungi at all.
