[@liaise123]

​​@@rockmusicvideoreviewer896 of course there is a creator, do you want to know why? Everything in life is depending on something, like the domino affect. Imagine there is a mug on a table, the mug is DRPENDING on the table for it to not fall on the floor, and the table is depending on the floor so as it doesn't collapse, and the list goes on. You can go on until you come to the very existence of the universe and life. Imagine there is a stack of dominos in front of you and you knock the first one down on to the second and to the third etc., aren't each domino depending on the previous domino to fall for it to fall? That's life. But how can the first one fall if there is absolutely nothing in existence? For the first one 5p fall there has 5o be a higher being WAYY more intelligent and powerfull than everything we beings no of. If you deny the existence of a higher being outside the universe you are lost

[@rockmusicvideoreviewer896]

@@liaise123 That's not convincing evidence.

[@wheatbread1606]

@@liaise123 I understand what you're trying to say but that doesn't really prove anything. Using your logic, the creator also has to have been created. So who created the creator? Who created the creator of the creator? It just goes on forever. There is no real answer, it just depends on what you choose to believe. We really don't know anything about the universe and we probably never will. We don't know the wrong or right answer, so I think it's just best to live life the way you want as long as it's not hurting others.

1:04 that’s so cool he can control one of his pupils like a camera lens

[@chingalingaling]

All pupils change their aperture to let in more light and a wider field of few (dilated and huge!) or focused light and a detailed view (constricted and tiny). It's so wicked that those birds do it monocularly but I wonder what their vision looks like when they do it. I had one eye dilated as part of my course and it mucked my vision up for hours. The fact they do it at will is crazy yet amazing. Also, fun fact, birds see in ultraviolet. Probably why their colours are so brilliant, though certain shades stand out more than others to them

@@chingalingaling Correction (you probably already know this but simply mixed up terms ), it is depth of field, which refers to affecting focus (whereas field of view refers to what can be seen; pupil nor aperture size affects field of view. Aperture size only affects focusing and light gathering capabilities). Some birds (eagle) however, are capable of changing their actual focusing, by both changing the shape of the cornea and eye lens; in addition, they have two focal points per eye to see both straight and sideways, and just have a higher resolution that gives eagles better resolving, which is in effect a higher virtual focal length (per "pixel"; like how 48mp being 4x higher in resolution means same amount of details 4x zoomed in vs a 12mp photo.)

He just cannot get a break . Actually the female resembles the Australian bowerbirds in looks and colouring but the Australian male bowerbirds present as black until good lighting conditions make see intense shades of deep deep blue in their plumage . The mating courtship display is the same . I leave blue milk bottle tops out for the bowerbirds and little mints individually wrapped in blue paper . They love to adorn their bower with blue objects and flowers.
