Tiny Shrimp-like Organisms Try to Illuminate the Insides of Fish That Eat Them
No, these aren’t light vomiting fish, though you would be forgiven for thinking so because that’s exactly what it looks like. What you’re seeing is the defense mechanism of a tiny crustacean called an ostracod, a shrimp-like organism about 1mm in size that some fish accidentally eat while hunting for plankton. When eaten by a translucent cardinalfish, the ostracod immediately releases a bioluminescent chemical in an attempt to illuminate the fish from the inside, making it immediately identifiable to predators. WHAT. Not wanting to be eaten, the cardinalfish immediately spits out the ostracod, resulting in little underwater fish fireworks. What an incredible game of evolutionary cat and mouse. The clip above is from a new show on BBC Two called Super Senses. If you’re in the UK you can watch it online in HD for a few more days. (via For Science Sake)

Une machine de Rube Goldberg lumineuse
On a déjà vu des dizaines de ces machines de Rube Goldberg qui réalisent une succession d’actions compliquées pour arriver à un résultat simple, celle ci est originale dans son concept en utilisant uniquement de la lumière.
La vidéo a été créée comme pub pour une compagnie de fibre optique japonaise, d’où le final assez décevant.
