The Joy of Why: Season 3 - Exploring the Mysteries of Life and the Universe

🐦Birds flock and fish school due to the density and turning of the individuals, which percolates across the group.

⏰Time is more than what clocks measure; it covers a wide range of phenomena and experiences.

🤝Altruism exists in the animal kingdom as social species depend on it for coordination and mutual benefits.

✨The connection between consciousness, ego, and molecules remains a mystery in neuroscience.

💥The big bang theory attempts to explain the origin of the universe but leaves many questions unanswered.

Why do birds flock and fish school?

—Birds flock and fish school to ensure better coordination and group survival. The density and turning of individuals within the group create undulating fluid-like movements.

What is time?

—Time is a complex concept that extends beyond what clocks measure. It encompasses various phenomena, experiences, and the dimension through which events occur.

Why does altruism exist in the animal kingdom?

—Altruism exists in the animal kingdom because social species rely on cooperation and mutual benefits to thrive and increase their chances of survival.

What is the link between consciousness and molecules?

—The link between consciousness and molecules is still a mystery in neuroscience. Understanding how individual molecules or groups of molecules give rise to consciousness is a complex and ongoing area of research.

What caused the big bang?

—The cause of the big bang, which marked the beginning of the universe, remains unknown. The big bang theory provides a framework for understanding the expansion of the universe, but the ultimate cause is still a topic of exploration and scientific inquiry.
