The way Matt explains this is almost like listening to a cinematic story teller taking you though some of the most mind blowing scenarios and you are actually visualizing in your head the vivid details he's explaining!

For instance, by our visual standards, dragonflies have terrible visual resolution, but they have a 90%+ success rate for hunting, and have also remained relatively unchanged for hundreds of millions of years. Another example is the mantis shrimp. They have the widest visual spectrum of any animal so far and are the only animal that we know of that can see polarized light.

The question is, how do we differentiate between just a bystander, and a trafficker, or a manufacturer. If they just start screening everyone, i bet your ass, every single person who enters a club/bar is going to be contaminated.

    My capstone project in university involved using laser light sheets in front of fume hoods to check flow and test their effectiveness and make sure fumes weren't escaping. That used 3 lasers, red, green, and blue, at different distances from the face of the hood to visualize multiple 2D cross-sections and better capture a pseudo-3D visualization. This video brings back memories of that. Really cool to see the laser light sheet technique being used in all sorts of forensic and disease transmission research applications.

      Evolution does not strife for perfectness. It strifes for adequateness. When some feature is good enough to overcome the selection pressure, there is no more pressure to evolve and the further development will be stagnated. In school terms, more often than not this results in minimum grades required to pass the class, but far from actually learning the subject and becoming good at it.
      While we find very good and novel solutions to some problems from nature, it's not as much that the nature does things good as it is that nature goes around solving these problems very differently than humans are used to think, and due to sheer amount of different solutions in nature there are bound to be some good ones. This is the case of infinite monkeys with typewriters. When we find solutions from nature, it's more like combing through the text those monkeys write until we find something good.

      Umm, 2 milligrams of pure fentanyl is considered more or less lethal.
      According to Google
      2 milligrams = 7.055 × 10⁻⁵ ounce
      That is a small amount.
      I doubt you have too much experience dealing with addicts handling pure fentanyl.

      To visualize that, it's 4 grains of table salt. And that kills people. I don't think getting 2 grains worth in or on you, would do you any favors.
      How much did that degree cost? 😄

    Expanding on the dark edges showing a louder sound; you are seeing density. Given air is homogenous, the stronger the shockwave, the more air it can smash into a small space. With a good control sample and good resolution, you could create a direct pixel gray-scale to decibel to psi conversion at w/e resolution your setup can record at. Pretty amazing when you consider the setup in the video had enough control to be replicated with ease, really gets the imagination going knowing this kind of stuff is being used and shared across the internet, another amazing find good sir.
    On a side note, I love the beautiful patterns inside the dark ring. Strikes me as strange that a 2d Slice of this 3d wave looks a lot like a ripple you'd make in the water.

      What he's doing is polarizing the light, which is why you can "see" the changes in density next to the mirror

      It's an interferometer. The razor blade edge causes diffraction. It's not used to block light, it's used to measure phase differences caused by small changes in the index of refraction in the sensing region.

    Edit: ok all I’m saying is this is just a weapons race, which can go on forever, and considering it’s drugs, it will go on forever. Point is, if your methods get better, so will theirs. Simple.

      They surely already do it, along others methods.
      But the dog can detect the small traces that you leave from your shoes or hand.
      If you take a box on a drug lab, then walk inside the truck to hide it, you will leave the smell.
      You can see it in a scene of breaking bad.
      They shoot a small bag of drug next to a truck to make the dog mark it.
      The traces are enought.
