Nature’s design

  • Who designed what is around us? Is it one entity, several or none?

  • Is the design of what is around us evolutive? How does this evolutive design work?

  • Mutual gain

    Example of ants protecting aphids and aphids sharing food with ants. Or the bird that feed in the crocodile’s teeth and clean the crocodile’s teeth.

  • We need to eat and for that we eat other things: plants and animals

  • Confrontation for food - Maintain a balance

  • Animals -> significant energy deployed to live

  • Beings knowing what they need to do from birth. Where is the instruction?

  • Expansion of groups

  • Male dying after reproducing. Why?

  • Tactics to play on other being’s perception

  • Plants able to communicate with animals to request help. How has this capability developed?

  • Bee planting a ticking bomb in the body of chenilles -> eggs -> baby eat the chenille -> chenille stays alive??? larve preserved its vital organs and manipulated its brain??? chenille now serve the larves and create a protective nets around the larve then die

  • Queen bee can emit pheromone that prevent worker bees to reproduce

  • Being with 2 different body in their life: chenille & butterfly

  • Water on earth 4.3 bn years ago. Earth really hot initially. Could down, vapor. Ocean, initial soup as water dissolve things.

  • Water molecules is the link between not alive and alive. Why? and what isn’t alive? Why?

  • Plants. 90 to 95% of water.

  • Plants able to dry (look dead but isn’t) and then looks fine -> scientists studying them to understand and transfer this strategy to other plants. Basically, modifying the natural balance of the system

  • Seeds from 30,000 years ago can still germ when getting water

  • Seeds. Technological miracle. From seed to tree (show it as an image).

  • Tree free particles (“dust”). Communicate? Like clouds of particles. Call the rain? Could be.

  • Tree in amazonia free more water during the dry season than during the rainy season. Like sweating. Send water in atmosphere. Interact with dust to form clouds. Rivers in the sky (concerntration of humidity).

  • Fish eating fruits in trees (video)

  • Water at the root of the migration of species and their biological rhyme. Gnou follow rains. The more aniamls there is the more soil is enriched by poo and pee and can retain water.

  • Birds (millions) from California seems to know when the ice start melting in north. How?

  • Many behavior from being will seem to us counter intuitive. It’s just that we don’t understand. Everything has a reason.

  • Insect (dragon fly) 5 cm long can cross an ocean of 4000 kilometers. WTF. Migration cycle is 16,000 km. Maybe the largest of all animals. If indian farmers were to use too much pesticide -> kill dragon flies -> no larvae to eat mosquitoes in Africa -> disease

  • We have millions of ecosystems. We cannot map everything. It’s also likely evolutive.

  • US farmer: from 2010 experience a decline of rains. Guy with a plane with high tech on board able to analyze drough. Drough is more frequent. Carnergie, online observatory N169CA. Use Lidar or laser. Can get spectral image of chemical elements in trees and pulsing of water. San Paulo, no water -> riots.

  • If you remove forests, you remove sky rivers. You impact water’s cycle.

  • They are talking about structural changes. What are the root causes?

  • Pattern in nature is that if something is putting something else in danger of dying the this thing has an embedded action plan to counter balance.

  • Why trees cannot walk? What would it take for them to move?
