  • Perfect timing!!!!! This pine cone had been making crackling sounds for a few minutes (you can see part of it had already split open), so I grabbed the camera. And I got lucky and caught it cracking open.

    Confess that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart the God raised him from the dead, and you will be saved..you will receive the Holy Spirit
    Repent of your sins. ("Repent" is Latin. It means "To Turn Away." Turn away from your sins, refuse to go back to who you once were.)
    Be baptized. (Be completely submerged under water)
    And the Holy Spirit will gift you.
    JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU
    God bless you

    You do realise that this pine cone is painted and the paint created a seal on the scales of the pine cone, right? The accumulated stress on the edges of the scales made the crack sound when the humidity dropped and the paint seal was broken. A normal non-painted pine cone opens and closes progressively. And there are plenty of videos of pine cones opening and closing in a controlled matter.

    • @etownump
      @etownump  Před 3 lety +3

      Painted? And you don't think wood splitting apart would make a crackling sound?
      Well, if you could show me a video of a painted pine cone opening, I would be very interested in seeing it. I don't know how it would be possible.

      @@etownump I'm doing my PhD on this topic. Pine cones without any coating don't crack when opening, even if they are 12000 years old. And the pine cone is not made of wood, the scales are a mixture of cellulose and lignin but not in the same composition as wood.

      But not sure what research that would be since there is no fresh pinecone in the world 12000 years old.

      @@etownump Your pine cone is clearly painted. You cannot associate the crack sound to the behaviour of the scales because they simply do not behave like that. Their movement is not snapping-like, their actuation is always progressive because it's driven by water uptake. The only reason your pine cone opened like that is because a coating sealed the scales and it broke due to the stress when the humidity dropped, one can actually see parts of the coating flying off after the snap.
      And there are several studies on hygroscopicity of old pine cones. A pine cone doesn't need to be fresh in order to open or close:

      But I figure this is just trolling, which is all good. It's always fun listening to people try to make sound arguments. As if a million year old pine would act the same way as a fresh pine cone.

    This is cool and all, but after watching a bunch of videos on the sandbox tree, aka the monkeys pistol, I'm not that impressed. The seed pods, which give it the name dynamite tree and monkeys pistol, explode when ripe. They dont chemically explode but fly apart from stresses inside the pod as it dries, the seeds fly away at over 150 MPH and can cause serious injury lol. The pods are 4" in diameter and look like pumpkins. Explosive pumpkins...

      @@etownump out don't get me wrong it's still awesome, the chances of being around it with a camera when it started doing that are crazy, and it is cool seeing how that happens. And actually there isn't much footage of the seed pods bursting, only one video, and the guy hit it with a stick so technically your video is cooler because you didn't force it along... ;)
