With the sub's lights switched off, it is possible to see their bioluminescence the light produced when they collide with the mesh.

You don't see luminescence until the submersible begins to move forward through the water, but as it does, animals bumping into the screen are stimulated to bioluminesce.

But well done, him.

The esca holds bioluminescent bacteria.

It is also recorded for later release where, when and how the user chooses.

He could have vaporized us.

We can even have a belief state which is an arbitrary formula in Boolean logic, and that can represent anything we want.

Today we don't need one million light bulbs to create a spherical display.

So all around the world people are doing the same thing.

This can't be happening.

That's my face.

This is now supposed to be my bacterial cell.

And in fact, right now in many states, you can go out and you can buy bioluminescent pets.

We don't have a value for this variable.

Reading can develop your mind.

But it's odd that you can't see the beam of light, you can only see what it hits.

You are just one of many creatures at the bottom of the ocean who learn too late to appreciate the power of bioluminescence.

I have a flask that has bioluminescent plankton in it.

A laser pulse is fired (Music)

So you enter the college, and you see the optical fiber waterfall cascading down and shimmering based on the sound of the Hudson River, but you don't hear the sound.

I will start with 1 4 of the power for each of them.

Remember the firefly?

Hasn't changed that much.

And like the one you just saw, it can produce these as bands of light.

On bright nights when there is lots of starlight or moonlight that light can penetrate the depth of the water the squid lives in, since it's just in those couple feet of water.

They churn up debris in their surroundings.

(Laughter)

So, most animals make blue light, and most animals can only see blue light, but this fish is a really fascinating exception because it has two red light organs.

Make windows explode when they are closed

And the cool thing about fluorescence is that it's not only bright, it actually can shine through tissue.

It's got a chin barbel.

It was breathtaking.

In addition to having these two cameras, he also put a projector into the scene that emitted a random light pattern.

Oh, the integer is going to max out at some value based on computer hardware. But no.

For 20 seconds he's going like that, and all of a sudden it lights up up here.

That thing could melt down when he tries to fire the core.

But this page has a major limitation.

Light years are about 63,000 astronomical units.

Let's just say the storms can develop more violently, more quickly, um, in places that are not necessarily as, uh, where you would expect them to be.

This bacterium has the special property that it makes light, so it makes bioluminescence,

So it's a little appreciated fact that most of the animals in our ocean make light.

It's also got a little chin barbel here with a blue luminescent lure on it that it can use to attract prey from a long way off.

And they use light to illuminate space down there.

So I'm holding it, and I'm about to touch that tube on its shoulder, and when I do, you'll see bioluminescence coming out.

But just to try to prove that fact to you,
