Scientists Identify Protein That Could Let Birds See Magnetic Fields

[PHC1]

Wonder what it "looks" like to be able to visualize the magnetosphere of the Earth?

Very interesing, thanks for sharing, Serge.

I had to laugh at this though: "which relies on an innate attribute of electrons called “spin,” one of the most quantum mechanical properties there is.


Well, we can visualize a portion of the EM spectrum, so its not at all inconceivable that an organism could not evolve a way to visualize the magnetosphere of the Earth.

Which, BTW, is a hypotrochoid....

Electrons do not orbit.
Electrons do not spin.
We know not where they're going.
We know not where they've been.


A bit of quantum spin poetry

Speaking of visible EM... If one uses a different technology to see in a different spectrum other than visible light, one would realize we have many visitors coming and going to/from our planet. They are not visible in the spectrum we can see with our naked eyes. That's all I can say...
