The slim mold clearly aimed to seek all the food and the barriers and once it figured out where the food was and that there wasnt more, it reprga zued itself in terms off efficiency so that it could survive off the food it had for as long as possible. Why is this? This is because the slime mold that didnt reorganize, probbaly burned through its food faster, and died. The mold that kept only its best paths to food lives longer because it eats less of its food and lasts longer and is more likely to survive and keep growing

It depends on how you define efficient. Do you want to minimize cost, minimize travel time, minimize the amount of excavation, maximize longevity, or some combination of any/all metrics you can think of. It looks like the slime minimized its surface area so it would have minimized excavation. This may not be what the engineers want to optimize though. Basically, its safe to assume that the engineers that built the system are smarter than the slime mold.

Mould

[@aidarsharafullin6900]

It doesn’t. You wouldn’t dig a new tonnel because the neighbouring one is 1 mile longer would you… This claim is bs guys. There is no mold reorganisation happening anytime soon. And, I apologise, but Joe overreacting is a common thing

They can use this against us. They wouldn't right? Right?

Atlanta, Memphis and Nashville should have used this method. Makes more sense than throwing spaghetti against a wall.

Engineer: Who made you? Japanese Subway system: *You think the underground is your ally? You merely adopted the tunnels. I was born in it. Molded by it.*

This isn't all subways since this map is not only Tōkyō, but a regional map of also the surrounding areas which also include surface train routes.

People are quick to forget that almost EVERYTHING we invented came from nature. ALL OF IT

Human is part of nature, your statement became meaningless😂

[@kevinpiot7317]

What is it, almost everything, or all of it. Pick 1, not both.

[@Stickyybenzz]

It's called biomimicry

[@bobbydeazy]

Not almost....literally everything from earth is considered natural. Just becomes manufactuered when we have created catalyst for change quicker. Therefor regardless of what you think you coupd argue the earth is its own living being and we are just a part of it.

The mould found the quickest path between two points, it didn't redesign the Japanese subway system in a more efficient way.

[@krisg822]

yea, and the mold has no idea from where to where, most ppl travel.

[@Ryry013]

Yeah... it didn’t redesign the subway system at all, the interesting point of the experiment was that it recreated the subway map in the same way it was in real life, not redesigned it in a new way. You can see in the last frame the slime mold matches the black subway map underneath it. Also, researchers are very clear there’s no intelligence or thinking processes taking place with this mold, it just grows. Thats why it’s so interesting. It’s wrong to call it “intelligence” though.

make it make sense. thankyou

Bro 😂 what’s the best and efficient way for the subway system to work????……….. find the quickest path between two points 😂 instead of going around it, cut right between it ……it’s called short cuts 💯.

It is no more intelligent than a lightning strike trying to find ground.

Japanese mold somehow manages to avoid Tokyo and grow over a map of the UK.

[@doki1146]

Really 😳😳🫡

[@kevintipcorn6787]

@@doki1146 the grey map they are putting oat on is the UK's above ground rail network. Much dumber than the Japanese underground rail experiment as they didn't need to worry about hills or lakes or whatever, but I doubt even the Japanese slime mould accounted for soil types that mean less London Tube tracks under London on one side of the Thames than the other.

[@GierJoost]

The footage of the prep is UK. The footage of the growing mold is actually on a map of the Tokyo bay area. Check it in Maps, pretty distinctive.

[@GierJoost]

​@@doki1146no he's wrong The growing mold is on a map of Tokyo. The preparation with oats is on a map of the UK
