You probably mean light; the wavelength of audible sound is on the order of centimeters to meters. But that doesn't really matter for the interaction. BTW EM waves (eg light) with a wavelength roughly the size of a human correspond to radio waves several 100 MHz.
@@martijn8491I'm guessing you meant the light wavelength roughly the size of a human hair ? Having not researched it... I'm guessing it would be a lot narrower in the order of nanometers.
Considering that there are sound frequencies that can cause them to burst simply by squishing and stretching them due to pressure changes, i am not that surprised that there are frequencies that work kind of like a massage stimulating them.
That part at 3:00 about animals hearing these sounds we don't know plants make fits so well in my brain. Because plants also use colors in frequencies we can't see to communicate with animals that see in infrared or ultraviolet, right? So of course there might be communication happening in other ways we don't detect
I never thought about a spider “hearing” until this video. It never even crossed my mind that they don’t have ears or any way to actually listen. Thanks again, SciShow! I learn at least one new thing from each video 😊
Look up the dances of peacock spiders. They ‘sing’ while they dance! And sometimes get eaten when a lady dislikes the song, or the dance, or both… or his face
wow, that was deep. with people, a vibration is the energetic quality of a person. much like, reading vibes and energy......which only an EMPATH can do.
@@flamencoprof Science is not omniscient. There are a lot of scientific concepts nowadays that would have been complete hogwash or witchcraft 800 years ago. How would you explain electricity or even wifi - how it originates and what it does - to a medieval peasant? Just because we don't understand something now doesn't mean it's BS. We just lack the right tools to understand it.
5:39 this verse of the "larva" Gray snapper (lutjanus griseus), reminds me a lot of the roar of some big "monster / beast" of a Fantasy. 10:01 these sounds of the dunes reminds me a bit of an Australian didgeridoo.
The bacteria growing better with the sound could be the sound waves helping the contents of the bacterial cell to move around better - kind of the same way a tea bag will infuse quicker into a cup of hot water if you jiggle the tea bag instead of just letting it sit there.
Two thoughts. One: growling baby fish - you noted that adult fish make the noise when jolted by electricity. Now maybe it's anthropomorphic to say this but that sounds like it'd hurt, and I dunno about y'all but I tend to seek comfort when mysterious pains happen to me. Now, the babies: they stick together, so clearly being near each other is comforting. In the dark, they can't see, so they make the noise - seeking comfort. So maybe the noise is self-soothing in adults? We know cats do something like that with certain frequencies of purring. Two: Sand dunes. I wasn't aware there were TWO types of sounds involved there - but I also have only heard it called SINGING, lol. And it's such a mysterious sound in the recordings I've heard! Would love to get a little more in depth about those waves that are UNDER the surface, never heard of that before.
They also scream which sounds like a person doing it. which is terrible at night. Especially right under someone's bedroom window! My mom has been woken up by it and it wasn't fun. She wanted to strangle the fox each night that did it. Thankfully it hasn't been a recent experience.
Somewhere a group of scientists went to the trouble and expense of putting together sheets of graphene to talk to E. coli? Wonder where that grant came from 😂
It's studies like this that make me wonder what they were trying to get from trying this. Like, I'm glad it worked! But how did you *think* of this? And how did you convince the government to fund it???
The sources are in the description, so if you're all so interested, why not check? It's a good habit. The findings seem to have come from a very diverse range of aims, including wanting to see how the bacteria moved and just collecting findings. 2/3 list their funding, and it seems like the researchers work at labs where they're free to explore odd little things like this.

0:47 Fun fact, the word for wind that blows through the trees is scythurism(sp?). I could be close with someone who uses that as the basis of their name that is much shorter.
can sci show come up with an entire series for the world in different frequencies? that would be great. the world views from a slightly different frequency would be fascinating to see. like those "how xyz animal sees the world" videos, but more general to just a specific frequency and ALL the animals and other environmental factors in a given range.
And the saying "As quiet as a mouse", is outdated. Also, mice are not quiet, lol. Rats are even worse, they screech loudly when they run away after being seen, where as mice normally don't. It's interesting how loud rats are compared to mice, but even a mouse that quickly runs away on a carpet, can easily be heard if your room is quiet enough. It sounds like a Scooby Doo moment of their feet scratching the carpet as they run away. It cracks me up because I would've have known otherwise the mouse was in the room, unless the pest is chewing on something.
Standing in front of a one-and-a-half to two-metre subwoofer, turned up, you also can feel your internal organs vibrating in your chest and abdominal wall. This only depends on the actual volume power, since our bodies are also made up of single-celled organisms. So it's not surprising that plants, "deaf" spiders and of course bacteria respond to sound frequencies at a minimum.
I think that might be caused by temperature differences in the different parts of the sculpture expanding & retracting as it's heated or cooled. It doesn't take a lot of temp change to do it.
No mention of the barking spider from Australia? (makes sound from stridulation)...all spiders drum and vibrate to attract males, so is more vibration based, than audio exactly (but that's what sound is, vibrations).
I wonder what the vegans have to say about the fact that plants can feel stressed when they're pruned and can listen in some capacity to one another? Are they going to just dismiss it by saying "oh they're just plants"?
It's very low voltage, just enough to feel it, not enough to be painful. It startles them, but I don't think it actually hurts them. Maybe like a zap from static electricity in power.
So plants can not only produce sound but communicate with other plants using sound. And those sounds are "heard" by other plants which analyze the sounds and make a decision to change their lifestyle according to what they heard. And all of this without a brain. And yet scientists still say consciousness is produced by the brain. I think we need to expand our research on consciousness. We may find it to be a fundamental part of the universe.
Give us the actual dimensions of the subject, then correlate that to a physical object. If you still feel the need to. "About the size of a pencil-top eraser." This is a science show after all.

Foxes scream. We have 2 that visit from time to time. Their tails are absolutely gorgeous, but their vocalizations are unearthly.
Hey arin
How does darude sandstorm go again
Good to know my tomato plants are talking behind my back that I’m a monster for pruning them. I’m just trying to keep you healthy and clean, Brah.
I wonder if bacteria respond to sound because they are so small the wavelengths can interact with them physically.
They go surfing with each wave

I would be freaked out if my tomato plants started popping after underwatering them
on a very still day you can hear the corn grow though
Better this than having plants screaming like banshees.

'The larvae were beating their tiny drums mostly at night'. What a sentence!
a what does the fox say joke but not a single frank herbert's Dune reference when sand that makes noise is a whole thing in that series
Some jumping spiders (Salticidae) also drum as part of their courtship rituals.
And remember, if the sound in the sand dune is too regular, the sandworm comes.
for the "spice"
Always avoid walking on drum sand.

The science of Frank Herbert's Dune and how the sand worm can find you. Lol. Science is awesome
Tomatoes make popping sounds? And they might hear each other?!?!
Now if you had said corn I'd believe it. Popcorn is a real thing, plus corn has ears.
..... now that's a dad joke if I've ever heard one.
I've heard corn popping as it was growing in a field.
Ohh...
Boooooooo! If you have any dinosaur themes bad jokes I'm sure PBS Eons would love you.
Take your coat and get out
What sound do growing trees make?
My favorite sound with old trees is when they creak slowly and gently…
Kind of gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "I feel ya".
Surprised they didn't include the mysterious ocean ping they kept hearing in submarines..... It was fish farts if you've never heard about it. LMAO 🤣🤣
I’ve been to the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado. I was camping when I first heard them. 😮
I think of hearing as a subset of feeling (vibrations), so I don't find it at all surprising that the wolf spider purrs and drums to attract mates.
wow, that was deep. with people, a vibration is the energetic quality of a person. much like, reading vibes and energy......which only an EMPATH can do.

Props to them for adding a reference to a 2010s meme

When you think about it, all hearing is actually feeling
First sound reminds me of disgustipated by TOOL. Maybe the carrots really do scream on harvest day

Foxes can sound like a woman being murdered, hearing it in the woods at night is one of the most terrifying experiences.
Wow so those 5 people on that titan submersible aren't making those noises. Thanks scishow!
A tree falling in the woods makes an audible wave that can be heard. The tree wasn't trying to communicate.
HEY!!! WATER ME!

'Cause it's just a hummingbird moth who's acting like a bird that thinks it's a bee.

So certain bacteria do better in certain types of music. Would they do worse in other types of music?
maybe bugs can feel it and come as a response as a defense for the plant against being eaten by bugs?
Well now I want a pet purring spider.
The E. coli drumming sounds like low-pitched tinnitus.
When the mice say they heard it through the grape vine, take it seriously.
Often hear the huntsman rain spiders making stridulating noises , sounds like a quartz clock
Does this explain why some gardeners say that their plants prefer certain genres of music over others? 🤔
What does the fox say🦊
I wonder what the vegans have to say about the fact that plants can feel stressed when they're pruned and can listen in some capacity to one another?

So the spiders in my windows can't hear me when I welcome them home after dark? 🥺
Thought thumbnail was DJ Octavio~ lol
foxes do a freaky scream.
I wonder if the weird buzzing sound one can sometimes hear in the woods far away from civilization is actually the trees or other plants.
Forehand/backhand forehand... pretty good huh? It's really hard...

"Plants talk to each other" .... cool
