How Birds (Might) Navigate With Quantum Mechanics
Amazing video / Watch and learn
This video is about how birds may use quantum mechanics to navigate the earth now what’s so cool about this topic is that such tiny processes can have unbelievably huge impacts and just a warning this topic is pretty detailee so if you find yourself getting lost in the details just try and come back to the
overall big picture and you should be fine
Alright let’s get into it how some birds might use quantum mechanics to navigate the earth this is the European Robin it can fly from northern Sweden to the south of Spain without a map without a GPS and without stopping to ask for directions how it does this remained a mystery for a long time but a series of
experiments in the 50s and 60s indicated that it was getting cues from the Earth’s magnetic field
