Bacteria move around using a molecular machine called the flagellar motor that rotates faster than the flywheel of a race car engine and switches directions in an instant. After 50 yrs, scientists have finally figured out how it works. “My lifelong quest is now fulfilled.” Link⤵️

Mike Joy, Clint Bowyer, and Kevin Harvick even called out Tyler Reddick and 23XI for running an 850hp motor in the first 750hp race. #NASCAR (pulling 4 car lengths in a 1500ft roll race is more than 100hp too, btw)

Scientists are baffled by this. The Bacterial Flagellum is composed of 20-30 unique parts. Combined, they total over 30,000 parts that make this little motor run. It can hit rotation speeds of up to 100,000 RPM, then stop & reverse direction in a quarter of a turn. It can propel a bacteria up to 20 lengths per second, which when scaled up is about equal to 225mph in a car. But this motor only works when all those parts are perfectly engineered and working together. Take away just one of those 30 pieces, and it stops functioning. That means it can't evolve gradually. None of the pieces do anything outside the system, and the system only works with all the pieces. Bacteria require this motor to move - without it, they would quickly die. How can anyone see something like and still deny that Life is Divinely Designed?

Nature's own motor! Bacterial chemotaxis are driven by a bidirectional flagellar motor which can rotate at different rates. New research by Prash Singh highlights how the motor transmits torque in different directions Nature once again leads the way. Who will replicate?

The hardest part of V14 to explain to people is just how locked in and responsive it is. There is a step change here vs V13. The car is aware and calculating future moves so insanely fast. In this video, watch the moment my speedometer goes from 70 to 69mph. It recognizes the signaling of vehicle in the right lane, and before it even begins its slide into our lane, FSD is slowing to prepare its next move. It’s hard to explain this because you have to be in the car to feel how quickly the car shows you through movement and speed change that it is aware of what’s happening. I felt it even before you see the speedometer move. It’s almost instant. Way faster than humans and V13.

🚨 BREAKING: Scientists just observed “singularities” moving faster than light. But here’s what that actually means. Nothing physical is breaking relativity. No particle is outrunning light. What’s moving faster than light is the structure of the wave itself. In these experiments: Light + sound waves combine They create “voids” (singularities) in the field And those voids can move faster than light Not matter. Not energy. But the pattern. Think of it like this: A shadow can move faster than light because it isn’t carrying anything physical. Same idea here. Now here’s the deeper question If structure can move faster than energy what are we really tracking when we measure motion? Follow me this is where physics gets uncomfortable.

Just figured out how to create this cool texture effect in the new Affinity. Plus you can move it around and enlarge it. 😎

For everyone in the comments asking if the bear made it out of the car alive…yes, they generally always do. Usually it’s the police that get called to figure a way to get them out, but, here is an example of how a bear usually gets extracted from a car.

A hydraulic press (often called a hydro press) is a machine that uses a hydraulic system to generate force for compressing, shaping, or crushing materials. It works based on Pascal’s principle, which states that pressure applied to a fluid is distributed equally in all directions.

It is crazy that some computer scientists are saying that chemistry experiments don’t have to happen ‘in the real’. I guess we need to invent ‘Chemportation’ which teleports molecules from simulation to the real world using Molecular Actuation Ghosts In Chemistry (MAGIC).

This is surreal. Our bacterial flagellar motor work went from cryoEM data to 3D models, animation, public outreach, and now a book. A tiny biological machine, became a bridge between structural biology, CAD/CAM, and design. What biological machine should I animate next?

Now they look and sound nice. I guess it was not the same in the 1940s... BF-109 engine start-up (by the looks of it, a "real" one, using the DB Engine and not the RR Engine)
