- Physarum polycephalum is a single-celled, brainless organism that can make “decisions,” and solve mazes. Anne Pringle, who is a mycologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, explains everything you need to know about what these slime molds are and how they fit into our ecosystem.

That would be the most terrifying thing on Earth if it moved that fast in real-time...
then it'll reach your toes...and then *YOUR FACE*
@@de_light641 Nooooo! Not the whiskers! Leave my whiskers alone!! :O
@Ryan Luppino-Dawson Ah well, wouldn't that be handy in a fight?
--"haha, I cut off your arm"
--"haha, yeah, but watch THIS, ya wanker"
How sped up are these clips?
@@TheMusicDoctor1 it's been a year and I want to know
Professor Pringle is a very engaging speaker.
Matt B Every teacher should speak like that, no matter how unmotivated they are. It will really capture their students' attention.
I cant get enough of her. As the saying goes, "Once you pop, you cant stop."
It looks like a circulatory system without a body.
It looks like a Mustard stain
**FBI wants to know your location**
Eat it
Dashblade Zapper sure
@elnubnub you could've also said nothing
_İţš Čømpłıçâţēđ_ you could've also said nothing
It's not an animal. It's not a fungus. It's not a plant.
We have found an alien.
They are here...
slime
slime
News flash there are other living organisms on this planet than just animals, plants and fungus. Ever heard of bacteria?
abikusview
Mate.
Were you even listening to the video lmao?
Yes aliens are possible but we cannot realize becauz it is in microscopic level like bacteria IF we exist in the early stages of alien life
This is a really good analogy for finding what to do for your life. It's not a straight line for everyone. Sometimes you need to try all avenues you can. Some paths don't lead anywhere but it's okay. Because you're still searching. And sooner or later you will find it.... Yeah... Be like slime
Good writing
I love that Wired is making videos about topics like these, fascinating! Also, how environmentally friendly and efficient not to fly out to the people you interview but just Skype - it works fine and I imagine it leaves editors with more time to develop other interesting stories.
Absolutely fascinating!!! Thank you for putting up videos on these off-the-beaten-path topics :)
Higgins2001 thank you for watching them!
6:20 that's very diplomatic
How? The blob wouldn't mind
Amazing. This crazy weird world we live in with its alien like species.
Fungi such as Physarum predates humans, so realistically we are the the aliens.
@@plasboltz
I stand corrected 😁
@Shane Smith Scientology.
so it's basically a real life Djikstra algorithm ... cool
Oh no! Not again... Just learned about Dijkstra's algorithm!!
I actually believe human made algorithms and mechanisms might as well be mimicking naturally evolved mechanisms whether we knew it or not. Some optimal way even if not globally optimal had already been discovered by nature and used abundantly.
Edit: what I meant was simple things like in a living organism: locking which is used in cells to give access to specific parcels, to invention of programming, which The DNA already does, to higher concepts like division of labor and security. To me, it's almost like the human society is following the footsteps of becoming a multi-cell organism itself.
isn't it closer to RRT?
You can get slime molds in your yard if its been raining a lot. Sometimes it looks like puke, but you poke it, and the inside is black and crumbly.
All I can think of is that blob at the end of prometheus that eats the engineer
I go here because my friend have a slime mold on their house right now, it's so interesting.
Wow. Seriously fascinating. Great job, WIRED
Andrew Caplan thanks for watching!
The Creeping Garden is a documentary about these creatures. It’s very interesting and very boring at different times, but overall worth a watch if you’re “into” this subject.
Wow.. Quaker Oats.. seems I may have more in common with this organism than at first glance.
This reminds me of the intro sequence of the The Last Of Us!
She is so happy talking about it it makes me happy
I need this blob to solve my issue with life direction.
I have a slime mold in my yard! I love it! I will name it. I'm going to take a picture of it everyday.
Ive always wanted to see Physarum Polycephalum (the blob) in real life!
It's so called 'maze solving abilities' have been known for a long time. I don't know why it's suddenly arrived at the publics attention.
because Paris put it in the zoo
@@carlosandleon ah
@Imight Realperson I saw this in the newspaper and on some Snapchat stories as well. I guess this is just a feature of journalism that all sources comment on the same subjects simultaneously.
@Imight Realperson There are *tons* of articles and videos about it, and it has been trending on Twitter. Even news stations have reported on it. it absolutely is in the public's attention. Obviously, not everyone is gonna have seen it, but a large portion of internet users has been viewing these articles and videos and sharing them on social media. I can't stress enough just how many articles, videos and social media posts I have seen about this creature in the last few days/week. It's honestly ridiculous.
@Imight Realperson It is in the public's attention right now, though. I came across it on a major news site here in Brazil.
This is a blob that solves mazes according to Doctor Pringle.
Thank you, Internet. Never change.
I've seen many of these yellow blobs in my grandparents' house
Great interview.
So the pretty intelligent slime molds can now run advertisement campaigns for Quaker oats.
What if the brain is just an evolved slime mold consumed by early primates?
The fact that I knew what this was (I go to a specialized STEM school and some kid did a project on it and I had to review it) it’s fun to actually know what someone’s talking about while watching videos.
Mom : Oats is healthy for you.
Slime mould : hold my beer.
6:00
It just sounds like she describes quantum mechanics.
Like in the double-slit-experiment when the quantum particle (e.g. light) goes through every possible way and than chooses the best one with the highest possibility.
I find this very interesting to compare it as two models.
Who else?
I was thinking something similar. It’s almost like a biological computer in a sense.
LOL one of my suggested videos was "molly and carla make perfect mashed potatoes" on bon appetit. I was coming to make a thoughtful comment about this fascinating video, but then i forgot when I saw those yellow mashed potatoes.
Ha! You have much in common with the slime 😌🤌
6:55 “I love my husband very much but [...] we did not fuse into a single body.”
...I mean, don’t knock it til you’ve tried it, amirite?
"we dont know quite a lot" LOL, yup
Optimal path identified when connection to the destination is made.
Ma'am. Thank you for this information. Cells operate through survival. It'll be cool to learn that everything started as a blob and then progressed to multicellular as food sources increased.
Fun fact; it prefers a branded American oat rather than organic oats.
I think it uses its arms to seek where it gets the most energy. Then as an energy saving mechanism it consumes it own arms, and repurposes that energy to seek the more nutrient rich zones.
I also think that it uses chemical sense as it’s main way of understanding what’s around it. I want to study this more.
I've had slim mold growing in my mulch!!! I didn't realize I had such an amazing creature living next to me!
Me watching videos while I’m waiting for my plasmodium to get here:
"....yes" he couldn't see it lol
Anyone else think this would be an amazing horror concept for a movie or video game?
Jimmy Sieng symbiosis in Venom the movie
It already exists
There was a movie like this where some black mold was killing people and could control dead bodies
There is literally a movie called blob
*The Last of Us theme plays*
That's just Yellow Venom with reduced steps
I have one of these growing in my worm bin. It looks like it is the same species as this.
Very interesting. Thank you very much.
It looks like a primitive stage of the substance the Zerg build their structures on...well played, Zerg. Well played.
This is the beginning of the last of us that is. We all dead man walking
It's actually a city with tiny people living inside.
How long will it live?
Clearly a superior being.
"Don't blame me; I voted for [slime mold]!"
Is that *_Rimuru Tempest_*
As a programmer its cool to see A* in nature lmao
It's just parallel BFS. Slime mold certainly doesn't have sense of heuristic function.
True, although A* was supposed to solve the same problem, but more efficiently and with more information...
@Liwei Cai - I'm pretty sure that you can do a biological model of the mould and abstract its senses AS heuristic functions...
And ? It's not flatly branching like a flood fill... It refines its shape... Avoids certain stuff..
It's must be chemical "HEURISTIC".. But it is...
No I'm not stupid, are you ? Because calling name makes me feel that YOU ARE.
That was nice of you to introduce us to your cologist, Matt.
If you could get the cells to generate an electrical signal and connect it to a system could it 'become' an AI and 'learn'
It looks like the clearish stuff the squirts out of the mustard bottle first
*mustard precum*
Musquirt
My. You have a way with words 😭
The blob is smarter than me
Its a *fusion*! I didn't know it was a real thing!
This is literally an scp
The information it’s passing through expansion & contraction could be calcium. Could someone elaborate in more detail. I’m very interested !
Time stamp: 3:34 - 4:01
So basically it uses bruteforce.
Definitely check out Veysarum VNFT
Reminds me of that annihilation movie. Also, it can possibly tell us something about how our brain got to be?
Amazing!
Thought of a blob out of the blue brought me here. Cool! 🤘🏼
Tem tradução em português?
Muito interessante
Se em português enviar para acadêmicos
Me and the boys when its level 5 biohazard abord the station
Bruh y’all scientists copied the last of us intro credits SMH
This video talks down to its audience a lot.
Now give it eyes
Not related but I really love her sweater
Fascinating. Where can I eat them?
Physarum solves mazes the same way I solve Rubic's cubes; take it apart and put it back together solved!
Slimes sense the environment and systematically reinforce optimal paths
Sort of like reinforcement learning algorithm
Why did I remember the Hannibal?
Amazing.
What is this blob?
THE BLOB IS A SLIME MOLD...
5:36 if you guys wanna see an ear wiggle.
This is so cool
The slime is the way the gods communicate with us
That's amazing
It sure is very motivated by food. 😂
If only it was red, it could be the Red Weed of 'War of The Worlds'.
Amanda Adlem food colouring
There are red species of slime mold.
The origin of slime
It is like sci-fi, Resident Evil 2 zombie plants grew just like this organism.
Wow this new venom symbote is pretty cool!
Their bodies didn't fuse, but their souls fused... Marriage...
I want it in my coffee ☕
Amazing
It solves the maze by the brute force method?
1) Does its nuclei interact with impulses?
2) does it is related with sacchromyces
I watched this twice and still really have no idea what exactly it is lol.
So if we put one of these things in the glade and it moved as fast as it did on fast forward , the maze runner would be ruined? Well considering there was food at the exit of the maze , cause it contracts to the fastest route after exploring the whole maze
this is basically bfs pathfinding. that's awesome
Looks like a symbiote
Can it do the washing-up?
I love it!
A symbiote
reminds me of a Tool video
Quaker oats!
Uhoh, I think I'm a slime mold
