Ants have been documented to be able to carry up to twenty times their own body weight. If a human could lift twenty times their body weight that would be about 4,000 pounds. Ant biologist Fred Larabee and paleoanthropologist John Hawks talk about how humans lift heavy weights and why we can’t lift as much as ants. John and Fred also look into what it would take for humans to be able to lift as much as ants can.

    Why did they compare ant mouths to human mouths? We dont carry stuff with our mouths?
    We grab with our hands and arms and carry with our full body (back, legs)
    Why not compare ant mouths and human arms?
    This seemed like a flawed comparison.

    Body weight scales as the cube and strength scales as the square so, strength to weight ratio decreases linearly.

    Science dude saying women have a slightly smaller bite force… I would like to disagree. The only reason this could be is that the jaw muscle is more exhausted because they’re too busy talking all day.

    Maybe weight is not relative. Thats why smaller animals can lift more

  27. David Cherrie

    June 17, 2021 at 4:08 pm

    This doesn’t explain why we can’t lift so much times our body weight. You left out the fact that the physics doesn’t scale up the same way.

    The larger something gets, the strength increase by the square but the mass increases by the cube. Square-Cube Law… It’s the same reason why an ant can fall 1000 times it’s height yet still survive.

    This video should be 2 seconds long with a total of 3 words. “Square cube law” done. In every way an ant is spectacularly _LESS_ strong than a human once the square cube law is accounted for. If an ant was the size of a human even if we ignore how inefficient their circulatory system is, an ant couldn’t even move it is so weak.

    when you make a square twice as big, it’s the size of 4 squares, and when you double the size of a cube, it’s the size of 8 cubes, so with that logic, if you shrink a muscle, it becomes way stronger compared to it’s size and vice versa. bigger snakes for example are slower than small snakes because the muscles have more weight to move

      Fun fact, working out actually slowly increases bone density and the strength of tendons and ligaments, which increases the percentage of our strength that we can use (it increases that strength too of course) I’m not sure how much of a factor this is but I’m curious what percent an Olympic lifter might be able to use when compared to a normal person

    To save you some time, it’s because of the square cube law:

    When something gets larger, the strength multipies by the square, while the size multiplies by the cube. For example, if a 1ft×1ft box had strength and was living. If it was sized up 300%, it would be 9 times (300% multiplied by 300%) as strong, but 27 times (300% multiplied by 300% multiplied by 300%) as large.

    0:22 – Let me guess, its because our brain won’t let use, because it would injure ourselves, but we actually *can* lift that much weight.

Gaming gear company, Razer, is under scrutiny after falsely claiming their Zephyr face mask had an N95 grade. Why is a company mostly known for glowing keyboards making a high tech mask? And why are so many companies shipping out hardware that just doesn’t work and expecting people to pay? Hardware is hard, as we’ve seen with Humane’s Ai pin, Rabbit’s R1, and the Cybertruck’s faulty pedal.
