The Mysteries Of The Heart | BBC Earth Science

[@karaeyed5057]

Muslim scientists during the Islamic Golden Age-parallel to Europe’s medieval period-made remarkable strides in understanding the human body, including the heart, though their knowledge of its full physiological function was limited by the tools of their time. Physicians like Ibn Sina (Avicenna) and Ibn al-Nafis explored anatomy and aspects of circulation. Ibn al-Nafis (1213-1288) made a groundbreaking discovery about pulmonary circulation-the process by which blood travels from the heart to the lungs and back.

Romans and Greeks, and Europeans in general had scientific golden ages long before Islam was invented, and Europeans revolutionized scientific knowledge during the industrial revolution and enlightenment. Islam was actually the catalyst that destroyed scientific advancement in the Arabic world that continues today.

That's Great. But what are muslims doing now?

[@northerniltree]

This same brilliant physician also proved that when you drink 5 pints of ale, you end up pissing out 6. That's like one free.

Dayum!

No pigs were harmed in making of this video.

So, that must be *How the Tides Really Work!* The Earth is like one huge circulation pump, with a certain amount of liquid ocean, being held down by its gravitational mass. Which is orbiting a barycentre with constant motion due to its inertial mass. With the resonant beats of the tides, being felt as regular impulses in a moving ocean, due to our accelerated motion through space. Although, I don't want to overturn conventional wisdom and the orthodox view of repeatedly saying the ocean bulge is simply being left behind by an upward pulling force, because that would only get hidden from view and lost in the annuals of history. - by Wavy and Friends© 2024.

Very interesting. The beating Heart of the Ocean Tides. That could almost be a chapter in a book?

[@bingeltube]

This otherwise good video ends rather abruptly and weird!

[@BongoBaggins]

Mine stopped in 2021. They're not that good.

There must be a part of our brain that instructs the heart to keep beating

[@cinthe3]

Heart cells have automaticity, they want to beat just by themselves. The brain stem does regulate.

[@wavydaveyparker]

Has Brian Cox seen this? He'd probably say it was the gravity of the Earth that pulls the heart apart. Not the inertial motion of our planet around a barycentre, that acts like a pump to cause the tidal force.

[@Grateful92]

These phenomena do play a crucial role in the functioning every organ. Why bother Brian Cox when we have you to just low-key showoff your knowledge about physics?

[@wavydaveyparker]

Thanks, but I'm just a low-key showoff with some knowledge about physics. Brian Cox is a high-key showoff making documentaries about his knowledge of physics. I just think he missed a trick here, because he had the perfect opportunity to explain the action of our daily tides, by comparing them to the beating motion of a human heart. Sorry if I offended your sensibilities towards the other showoff.

This comment deserves a beating heart. ❤ Just for originality and for being the first to type it. Thanks, Earth Science BBC in advance? I also pay my licence fee.

What's with the Shark-Tank style production of this video?... it made me loose interest of an otherwise amazing subject

[@rhomboman]

England sucks
