How a smartphone knows up from down? When we turn the phone to the side to watch a video or play a game, we seamlessly change the object in the frame. A pinhead-sized chip called an accelerometer does the job. A similar system is installed in one of the most sophisticated machines we know — your own body. Your inner ear’s design is alike: it senses the acceleration when you move in an elevator or car or change your head position. That vestibular system is connected to the eyes. When you’re filming a video and the camera, like your smartphone, moves and shakes, you see the picture as smooth and steady due to your inner accelerometer working. But try watching the same video on a motionless screen — everything gets blurry. In some situations, like on a moving ship or airplane, signals that reach your brain from the eyes and the vestibular system contradict each other and, you know, the small brown paper bag comes to stage… But how do accelerometers work? And what other cool sensors does your phone have? Let's find out! #brightside EPISODES:

More How a Smartphone Knows Up from Down And Other Hidden Secrets Videos

Let’s get it straight from the get-go: all water is already salty. Salt appears in seas and oceans thanks to rivers, which bring minerals from land with them. Rivers are considered fresh themselves only because their levels of salinity are much lower: movement doesn’t allow the salt to collect, and rains replenish them with fresh water. So technically, what we drink is not exactly fresh — there’s some salt in that water anyway. But if, for some reason, all water in the world became much saltier, we’d be in big trouble. Let's take the Dead Sea, for example. The level of salt here is much higher than in any other reservoir on the planet: there’s so much of it that water would keep you afloat without any effort. But this curious effect is the only positive thing about it because almost no life is possible in such conditions. Only the sturdiest of bacteria can survive here: there’s no fish, no marine mammals, and no sea birds over the lake’s surface. Needless to say, if there was this much salt in every water body in the world, complex life would’ve never appeared in the first place. So what if all water on our planet was salty? #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
