- hello everyone question what planet are
- we on now no we've not gone insane every
- morning you wake up confident that you
- are on planet earth but today your
- confidence will be shaken the thing is
- the world is full of things that look
- completely alien to us and today we've
- gathered the most amazing of them in
- this video some are created by nature
- others by humans but that all fit
- perfectly into the second parts of the
- interstellar movie let's get it on
- [Music]
- magnolia seeds
- this thing could serve as a decoration
- for some movie about alien invaders
- imagine they're dropping it from ships
- to earth and after a while terrible face
- huggers hatch from them
- [Music]
- in fact everything is not so scary this
- is what the magnolia seed pods look like
- the tree is covered with them every fall
- however they do behave as if they were
- alive the bright red berries literally
- pushed through the pods woven into
- bizarre cones to become food for birds
- squirrels and other animals the animals
- cleanse the seeds from their shell and
- help spread the magnolia so if you
- suddenly find such a thing don't be
- scared try growing a stunningly
- beautiful tree in your yard though this
- is not an easy thing to do you'll have
- to free the seed from the pulp then
- place it in a container with wet sand
- and keep it in the refrigerator for
- three months and only then plant it but
- believe us the result is worth it
- acid desert
- elon musk decided to abandon an
- expedition to mars and decided to head
- straight to the satellite of jupiter
- here's some fresh footage from its
- surface okay it sounds too unreal but
- it's also not easy to believe that such
- a landscape can be found on earth right
- meanwhile this is indeed so the surreal
- area of dalol is located in the north of
- ethiopia due to its specific landscape
- it's often compared to the surface of io
- the satellite of the largest planet in
- the solar system the lowest volcano in
- the world and the nearby geothermal
- springs make this spot so beautiful the
- height of the volcano is 157 feet below
- sea level and the crater rises only 98
- feet above the surface can you see
- bubbles breaking through the crust hot
- underground waters rise through layers
- of salt and minerals about a 3 300 feet
- thick and wash them to the surface this
- is how these strange corals and acid
- pools of various colors are formed add
- to this the highest average annual
- temperature on the planet the conditions
- seem completely inappropriate for life
- however you can book tours to dalol
- prepare shoes with hard souls and tight
- clothing if you decide to go on an
- extreme trip
- ceramic sculpture
- you've probably heard the news about
- mysterious obelisks appearing in
- different parts of the planet but this
- thing looks much weirder don't you agree
- but at least we know for sure that it
- was created by humans the sculpture
- installed in the eden project in
- cornwall was created by the london
- design team studio swine you won't
- probably guess what purpose it serves
- though so we'll reveal the truth the
- authors were inspired by a tiny
- photosynthetic microorganism
- cyanobacteria inside the world's largest
- ceramic artwork called infinity blue
- with a height of 29 and a half feet and
- a weight of 20 tons you can see 32
- cannons which release steam rings from
- its surface according to the designers
- they're imbued with the aromas of
- primordial whirls as a tribute to the
- process of oxygenic photosynthesis which
- cyanobacteria launched three billion
- years ago a worthy occasion isn't it
- snail jelly
- specialists on extraterrestrial
- civilizations argue that if aliens do
- exist they're unlikely to resemble a
- human well they might as well look like
- this mysterious substance any idea what
- it is here's a hint this is not space
- lards from adventure time not jelly and
- not even a jelly fish ready to give up
- these are the eggs of cone and moon
- snails animals that live mainly in
- australia and tasmania females hide
- hundreds of thousands of eggs in a dense
- jelly-like mass even if a predator
- decides to eat this strange dish some of
- them will survive anyway the batch is
- almost always c-shaped and resembles a
- neck pillow but we recommend you not to
- use it this way quite formidable
- predators hatch from the eggs the moon's
- snail breaks through the shell of its
- prey and sucks it out of it with its
- proboscis and some species of cone
- mollusks even contain poison deadly to
- humans
- harbin opera house
- this is what an alien base is supposed
- to look like but if you go inside you'll
- find singing artists and hundreds of
- admiring spectators there what you see
- is actually an opera house located in
- harbin china but the architectural
- bureau mad architects decided to add a
- little futurism to the project according
- to the authors of the complex it
- balances out the rebellious savagery and
- cold climates of this northern city the
- outer surface of the theatre follows the
- outlines of the surrounding landscape
- and according to the idea it should
- create the feeling as if it was shaped
- by wind and water though it looks more
- like a giant xenomorph octopus that
- descended to earth however this does not
- make the architectural masterpiece any
- less stunning the winding facade is made
- of aluminium panels and glass the grid
- surface of the roofs creates the effect
- of ice pyramids and parts of the walls
- are made of local manchurian ash this
- makes it another destination definitely
- worth including in your bucket list
- glowworm cave
- admire the starry sky while underground
- such miracles are indeed possible on our
- planet though only in one place the
- so-called glowworm cave in the waitomo
- cave complex on the north island of new
- zealand it's home to a species of
- mushroom mosquitoes called arak nacampa
- luminosa which can't be found anywhere
- else in the world the larvae of these
- tiny creatures weave threads with
- droplets of sticky liquid and attach
- them to the roof of the cave and then
- light them up attracting small insects
- for food and thousands of tourists from
- all over the world as a result the
- colony shimmers with an emerald bluish
- light in the dark creating a delightful
- illusion of a starry sky we have to
- thank nature for that it's worked for
- millions of years to make a habitat
- suitable for mosquitoes first a
- limestone layer over 650 feet thick was
- formed from shells remains of fish and
- mollusks and then the ocean got down to
- business to form unique caves if you
- suddenly find yourself in this magical
- place don't scream in delight you can't
- scare the mosquitoes and the magic will
- disappear
- sea lilies
- we don't want to discourage you from
- swimming in the sea but we simply had to
- show you these sea monsters despite the
- alien-like appearance these are the
- indigenous inhabitants of the earth
- according to scientists sea lilies have
- lived on the planet for more than 400
- million years often brightly coloured
- these fantastic cousins of sea urchins
- and starfish are most commonly found in
- the shallow waters of tropical seas but
- don't cancel your vacation just yet sea
- lilies are benthic animals with a
- calyx-shaped body a mouth in its center
- and a corolla of branching rays
- extending upward it has five arms but
- they can be repeatedly split up forming
- from 10 to 200 false arms at the ends of
- which you can find claws to attach to
- the ground as you can see this creature
- is not capable of inflicting harm on you
- quite the opposite sea lilies are very
- vulnerable and can be hurt with one
- accidental touch but they still look
- creepy right do you think howard
- lovecraft could be inspired by them
- eerie fruits
- okay a bit of an important warning now
- the flora and fauna of australia in
- general looks as if they arrived on the
- continent from another galaxy and if
- you're not familiar with the local
- inhabitants it's better not to touch
- strange creatures or plants for example
- take a look at some exotic fruits do you
- want to know what's inside of them not
- juicy ripe pulp at all there are up to
- 600 eggs of the spider orgarius
- magnificus can you imagine how
- unpleasant it would be to discover them
- this arthropod lives only in australia
- and belongs to the weaver spiders during
- the mazing season the female weaves egg
- sacs over several nights and attaches
- them to branches one can hold up to
- seven sacks it's better to stay away
- from this miracle of nature
- laser installation
- by the way what else is capable of
- transporting us away from our home
- planet to completely different worlds as
- if by magic why art of course and the
- work of dutch designer dan rusigada is
- an excellent proof together with a team
- of colleagues and engineers darn turned
- a number of wind turbines into a light
- installation by connecting the
- structures with moving laser beams the
- designer also develops software that
- allows a green beam projected from one
- turbine to follow a blade on a nearby
- turbine a special tracking system
- predicts where the blade will be located
- and then sends a signal to the equipment
- this allows the lasers to be
- synchronized depending on the strength
- of the wind and the speed of rotation
- the installation called wind licked is
- located at the enico wind farm in the
- netherlands and aims to show the beauty
- of green energy this goal has been
- achieved don't you think green beams
- look like an aurora borealis or
- spacecraft spotlights according to the
- author some energy companies are
- interested in the permanent use of the
- installation it'd be great if all
- industrial facilities were decorated
- like this right
- glowing plants
- unfortunately or maybe for the best the
- pandora planet from the avatar movie has
- not yet been discovered by humanity
- scientists it seems are not too happy
- about this so they just decided to
- create a fantastic world right on our
- planet the first step towards this was
- to create glowing plants no seriously a
- team of researchers led by karen
- sarkissian has found a way to grow
- bioluminescent plants that emit and
- maintain a mysterious green light
- throughout their life cycle scientists
- have found metabolic similarities
- between the bioluminescence of some
- fungi and natural processes in flora
- then they introduce the dna sequence of
- the fungi into common tobacco the result
- was a glowing jungle just like in the
- legendary movie the technology has a
- number of potential applications in the
- future including decorative glowing
- plants and flowers if they replace
- street lighting it would be amazing
- sand towers
- mysteries like stonehenge or giant
- statues on easter island of course still
- excite us but we already have gotten
- used to them well photographer joshua
- nowicki found new mysterious structures
- for us walking along the shores of lake
- michigan near the city of saint joseph a
- man spotted bizarre sand towers up to
- one foot high obviously they weren't
- created by humans it's impossible to
- find such a patient person who would
- meticulously build hundreds of intricate
- sandy towers the towers would join the
- list of unsolved mysteries like crop
- circles and nazca lines if not for local
- meteorologists they explained that the
- towers were formed as a result of a
- unique combination of weather conditions
- the wind washed away the sand and it
- instantly froze in this form
- victoria regia
- there are not so many giant plants on
- earth sequoias and baobabs come to mind
- but we forget about another amazing
- specimen the victoria amazonica or the
- victoria regia this is an aquatic
- tropical plant of the water lily family
- or to be more precise the largest water
- lily in the world the diameter of its
- leaf can exceed six and a half feet so
- what you see now is not even the largest
- specimen however this size is enough to
- withstand a weight of more than 66
- pounds all thanks to these hollow ribs
- that cover the bottom of the leaf some
- water lilies for example the ones in
- taiwan shuangshi park can support up to
- 143 pounds which is tested by kids and
- adults isn't it great to swim on a leaf
- like a cartoon character if you weigh
- more you can look for a suitable leaf in
- the amazon basin in brazil or bolivia or
- go to the thai city of pittsanolok they
- say that water lilies in a local park
- can support up to
- 220 pounds
- invisible sea creature do you see a
- strange bluish creature appearing and
- disappearing on your screen right now
- well get ready to be surprised what you
- see is not a poorly working hologram but
- a real living organism meet the sea
- sapphire a tiny coke pod that lives in
- almost any place where there is water
- the colour of a sea sapphire depends on
- the depth at which it lives yellow
- orange and red crustaceans are found
- closer to the surface of the sea and
- green blue and purple ones live deeper
- where only the light of shorter waves
- can penetrate with its shimmer this
- creature attracts a female but how does
- it pull off the incredible glowing fade
- trick scientists asked the same question
- and found out that under the chitina
- shell of the sea sapphire there are
- guanine crystal reflectors embedded in
- perfect hexagonal arrays this complex
- design allows the animal to both shine
- and become invisible when it needs to
- vanish the crustacean turns its back as
- an angle of 45 degrees to the light and
- the wavelength of the reflected light
- shifts to invisible ultraviolet
- glass wing butterfly
- the greta otto butterfly found in humid
- forests from mexico to argentina has one
- interesting feature it fights predators
- by consuming toxins through poisonous
- plants in both the caterpillar and adult
- stages eating the toxin gives the
- butterfly an unpleasant taste that
- repels birds okay you must have already
- realized that this is not the most
- exciting thing about this insect it has
- transparent wings some studies report
- that this happens due to the random
- distribution of special nanopillars or
- microscopic filaments in their wings
- which allows them to have near perfect
- anti-reflection properties the most
- amazing thing is that based on these
- structures scientists can improve the
- characteristics of optical devices
- lenses photo detectors and even makes
- solar energy more efficient nature never
- ceases to amaze
- galaxy flower
- if somewhere in the vast expanses of the
- universe there is a planet even remotely
- similar to us but with its own unique
- floor and fauna we expect these flowers
- to grow there too just take a closer
- look at this pattern you can see a whole
- galaxy in it this space petunia with the
- romantic name night sky is one of the
- artificially bred hybrid species this
- variety became available not so long ago
- not a few billion years ago like real
- space objects but in 2015 it was created
- by specialists from germany and it
- immediately won a lot of awards at the
- european flower exhibition which is not
- surprising they say that the variety is
- not difficult to grow and even a
- beginner can handle it it's time to take
- up gardening if you want to have a
- personal galaxy in your room
- colorful slug
- finally we'll show you another alien
- from the depths of the sea to be honest
- it's impossible to believe that it was
- created in the course of evolution this
- creature's name is flabelanopsis iodinea
- or more simply the spanish dancer a
- gastropod mollusk from the order of
- nudie branches received this nickname
- for its insane colouring its body is
- purple the serrates are orange and the
- rhinophores with the help of which the
- mollusk perceives females and prey are
- scarlet the magenta red and orange
- colours are derived from the same
- ceratenoid pigment astaxanthin the
- pigment is present in three altered
- states resulting in a three-coloured
- body this mollusk simply has to be
- featured in a movie about aliens right
- especially considering the fact that the
- neon orange appendages on its back
- extract oxygen from the sea water the
- spanish dancer breathes through these in
- addition they serve as an extension of
- the digestive system and are used to
- store stinging cells
- hey buddy are you tired of watching
- videos about cute animals and
- heartwarming stories you need something
- more serious in your life tough cars
- cool robots and the most unusual gadgets
- in the world get the high-tech
- adrenaline rush you need on techsound
