We Don't Know: Magnetoreception

[DagoSanDiego]

I had a related experience. I am a cancer survivor and had some lymph nodes removed in my neck. An unfortunate consequence of this was the accumulation of a bacteria in my left wrist. Well, 8 years later, after using a poorly balanced grinder, my wrist and palm were hit with incredible pain. Turns out there are a lot of pain receptors in this area. So after going to the ER and getting a MRI I had a procedure performed that cleaned out the area, but left me without sensation in the wrist/palm area. Now one of my hobbies is fixing up electric guitars, and I noticed one day as I went to grab a pickup that I could FEEL it when my hand was about 3 inches away. I had a friend put a pickup under one of two tupperware bowls and could tell her which one the pickup was under! I had a super power! Unfortunately, it wasn't an especially pleasing sensation, and when I didn't know my hand was near ferrous metal, I would involuntarily recoil because it felt cold and sharp. What is interesting is that as sensation returned to my wrist, my Superpower faded away... as though those pathways can be used for feeling, or to detect magnetism, but not for both.

Quantum Biology. Can't wait for more of this field to come to the surface of mainstream science. It's truly incredible.

When I was about 5 to 9 years of age, I was able to feel a lifting sensation on the bridge of my nose (bone part) extending up between my eye brows and forehead and directly behind these points into my nasal cavity. I would test my sense of direction and could accurately orient myself to North/South even if I was blindfolded or under my jacket in a car for instance. For all these years, I thought I was crazy but after seeing this, it makes sense. Some of my friends have also reported the same ability. Sadly, I no longer can feel it as strongly as I did in the past, but if I wear metal framed glasses or wave a magnet near my nose, I can still feel the "lift".

I work with sea turtles as a veterinarian and found this most interesting. Good work

According to my late boss who was a flight engineer, while stationed at the Navel base on Kitsap Peninsula, towards the end of WWII there was a bit of research on one pilot who apparently has this ability.

From what I understand he could be blindfolded spin around over and over and still accurately point to magnetic North. He could do this blind folded in a plane as well no matter how many maneuvers the plane was put through.

The advantage of being able to duplicate this in other pilots would have been a signification advantage during the war. Especially during long flights over open water.

A healthy bee was flying in and out of empty aluminum soda can. A nickle size diy magnet with adhesive back was placed on one side of cans mouth opening. This ensured bee had space to exit freely. The bee continued flying inside can aggressively moving can. The bee abruptly stopped buzzing. After waiting a few minutes the can was gently picked up and tilted right to left to encourage bee activity. No activity was detected upon motion of can. The can was tipped upside down, bee fell/rolled out of can to ground. The bee appeared stiff was completely motionless. Bee was not physically touched or moved by human at any point. Approximately 10min later a basic kitchen cabinet magnet was placed next to motionless bee. Within a fraction of a second the bee began twitching.Within 2 seconds the bee was buzzing moving its antennae, body then legs onto magnet. The bee appeared to be revving on magnet for 10-15seconds before taking flight. In case you were unaware bees have magnitite inside their abdomen.

Magnetoreception is absolutely fascinating...

I have subtitles in Portuguese. How do I add it to the video here?

[QwerpOS]

can this ability be used to map out the location of objects within the surrounding area

[themachine]

Can signals like 5g or other type of signals disrupt the sense that these animals have?

[truthtopower]

unicellular protists and even bacteria can exhibit magenetoreception. This is a very ancient ability.

[darkkatty]

he i really love your video and how you simplified the idea and i was wondering if i can use some of the information that you mentioned in a science projet

[AmCornholio]

Did you guys get the animator from Speed Racer?

[Ozzyore-db]

Using this in a science lesson for easy answers 🤣

[Hannah-zcgn]

I wonder if they can be found in anaxonic neurons

[mesmerising]

I have human magneto reception it kind of sucks

The Earth is about to go topsy-turvy I'm going to tell you

[hks-lion]

Let’s hope these animals with magnetoreceptors don’t ever need MRIs 🧲

[pjd]

But HOW ? We've identified the tool these animals use to achieve the goal, but how, does a newly hatched turtle have it hard wired into their being immediately ? Is it it the genome? Is it hormonal ? Is it divine ? Just how ?!?

[yuda]

Now we do know! It's been PROVEN!!

[blissinriots]

i bet that there's already an experiment to create a human mutant who has power, like being invisible n all
