  • This shows God's creativity, and I think this guy knows it and that's part of his excitement - he doesn't just routinely say "oh, it's such a coincidence" ....that gets old, it's a "broken record"

    For anyone watching this, you've gotta see it or you're trying to avoid how amazing this is ... "Did it come from slime? No, stop making excuses, LOL!! "

  • the "antser" is in their feet

  • very clear video....interesting topic...

  • amazing guy. amazing, amazing guy!

  • I envy him :) He has job which he loves, that's great.

  • Love the guys enthusiasm, its highly contagious

  • Super cool video. What kind of super glues do we have that were modeled after insects? Are they cyanoacrylates like our other super glues? I imagine not if you said they can become undone and re-stick. Nucleophilic catatlized polymerization doesn't exactly rewind itself and work backwards.

    Isn't life amazing?

  • I love this guy's enthusiasm.

  • Awesome, musicman53 said it exactly right!

  • gotta love this guy- so enthusiastic

  • Cool video! I hate insects but I love physics! This guy is sort of like the crocodile hunter of insects.

  • great vid

  • guys been hanging around bugs to much

  • @nemesisnick66: thats probably true!!

  • You need to contact planned parenthood. Aborting babies is not right. Ants are people too. You shouldn't discriminate against their wall climbing abilities. I'm going to tell Spiderman to shoot webs into your eyes; you will be blinded as a result of Spiderman's web, and will be unable to continue your discrimination against these wonderful creatures. Thanks be to Zion, King of the Ants

  • This guy is a bit behind on this topic. They already figured out how gecko feet work, and they use tiny rods that line up in a certain way to create strong diamagnetic attachment. They even made a synthetic replica, and a second replica that uses rods 100 times smaller, making the surface 100 times stickier. They even managed to stick a 7 year old girl to a wall with the original gecko strength material using a letter sized pad.

  • @mostliberal look what your saying is utterly wrong. Of course theyve figured out how gecko feet work, but the way ants do it is completely different...do your research

  • I'm currently researching the educational value of youtube and would love your input. I have a link to a very short survey on my youtube profile page. It will take less than 2 minutes to fill out. Thanks so much for helping out.

  • 'Clever ants?' 'Clever cockroaches?' and we won't recognize their Creator. 'Stupid scientists' - all they can do is to take what Allah created and try to make bad copies. And we call that 'clever'. Yet we don't have the wisdom to recognize the hand of the Creator in the original. Amazing stupidity, if you ask me.

  • @kahraba2010: Stupid humans? You're the one who believes in fairy-tales; there is no such thing as magic. Stop trying refute science when you obvious don't even have a grasp of reality.

  • Ha!! And we still won't believe in the One who created those ants. Now how smart is that? So it is not, 'Clever ants or clever cockroaches', it is 'Clever Creator!' And 'Stupid humans who refuse to recognize Him.'

  • To all those who? listen, to all those who hear, a voice is crying out, yet you turn in fear? when blood is shed, and answers not given lies we are fed, when the walls that divide governments and people grow to such heights that the people no longer see the light. and there is no end in sight, when wars are fought in the name of recources and money, instead of promoting peace, when freedom is tested, maybe thats when we need to start fighting back, maybe thats when truth needs to be on track

  • At the end of the video he flipped the camera upside down and pretended he was upside down ( on the seiling ).

  • humans suck, at least i can shift shapes

  • This man obviously loves his job. It's fascinating to see biological research with application in engineering. Technology learning from nature.

  • hey please visit my channel i am new in youtube and i need viewers. help me out would you!

    Thanks God Bless You!

  • Take the red pill

  • humans truely are a "monkey see, monkey do" species.

  • This is my favourite Cambridge Ideas video by far! This guy's amazing! Love it.

  • is really cool, what we can said, just Thank's god for The Knowledge...

  • @bouarfawi Thank God? I thought the scientists deserve some credit.

  • Excellent video, I love listening to people who are experts in obscure areas and have a real passion about what they do!
