One of the fastest animals in the world is.....a spider?

I still don't believe it.

What about that shrimp that can produce a sonic boom with its claw. Been a few cases of them shattering glass fish tanks with it.

[Miley Highrus]

Pretty cool. Doesn't look like its moving that fast though.

[Proots]

I've seen this creature before - but, it's by no means the fastest creature on the Earth. Not even close to it, fortunately! They chose poor wording to describe the rate of speed. It isn't traveling at anywhere near 300 kilometers an hour.

The spiders going down hill though

what if a cheetah runs down hill wouldn't it be faster?

yeah, that video is full of shit. Thats not a sonic boom, its cavitation (see Fluid Dynamics ).

As far as the comment "hotter than the surface of the sun"...thats utter and complete bullshit. The surface of the sun is like +5,000° C. With the specific heat of water at 4.18 J/g° C, do you realize the required energy?

Here is some math to help you:

Specific heat of water: 4.16J =J/g °C
Where as Q=m*c*deltaT,
Q=1mL*4.16*5000°C*
Q=20,800 J


Do you aspies have any idea how much energy 20,800 Joules is? Math tells me this is physically impossible for a motherfucking shrimp to do on any significant scale. I trust math, not some british faggot motherfucker.

Is the shrimp fast? Yes.
Is the narrator backing his statements with math? Fuck no.
Is the narrator full of shit? Hell yes.

I look forward to you fucktards trying to dispute my mathematics.

You just went all out derp mode there to prove a shrimps hand isn't hotter then the sun.

also vizier is clearly being sarcastic, so many people seriously lack a sense of humor lols.

elementary math =/= "derp mode"

Its simple fucking math refuting something the BBC aired on international television. I'm pretty sure Vizier is legally retarded, so I cant be sure about anything he says.

EDIT: I just remembered Vizer lives in Mexico, which qualifies as fully retarded. At least the wetbacks mowing my lawn are smart enough to leave Mexico...

"From comparison of synthetic to observed spectra, the effective cavitation temperature was found to be 5075 ± 156 K"


surface temp of sun = about 5500 kelvin

However, it was the first known instance of an animal producing light by this effect. It has subsequently been discovered that another group of crustaceans, the mantis shrimp, contains species whose club-like forelimbs can strike so quickly and with such force as to induce sonoluminescent cavitation bubbles upon impact

ahaha what the fuck it's like some fuckin natural videogame power-up for crustaceans! train your punching skills and evolve to super-punching!

I thing the technical term for this is "bubblebeam".

Good job trusting math you fucktarded kumquat. The first and foremost convention of applied science is to recognize when generalities and assumptions may be used, and when real-world data is necessary. Your Google'd value of water's specific heat capacity doesn't account for impurities. Your assumption of 1mL of water being isolated and heat transfer occurring uniformly to the mL is inaccurate... possibly to multiple degrees of magnitude. Furthermore, your simple heat calculation formula doesn't account for the dynamic properties of an ever-changing environment.

Regardless of the discrepancies in your infallible "math," the posts above mine verify that even more advanced physical phenomenon are what account for the extremely high temperature.

I think the spider stat is relative to it's size.
