Photographer captures image of rare fish that walks on its ‘hands’

Sea Robin. They walk on "fingers". -

They come in different colors here, too. What is interesting, they know to stay on a sponge which matches their color. I'll look in my pictures for a different frogfish and will post if I find one. -

Speaking of the devil... Here is a fresh photograph of our own walking fish, frogfish. Not very rare but often gets unnoticed because of the wonderful camouflage. Taken by a friend of mine, much better uw photographer than me. -
Philosophical Implications Of Infinite Parallel Multiverses
Genady replied to Intoscience's topic in General Philosophy
These letters and numbers that you refer to, are meaningless on their own. But when you consider what they mean when they are executed by a computer, you shall see that each elementary step of execution of a program has 4 independent variables: 1) a current state of computer registers, 2) a current state of computer memory, 3) a state of the registers that replaces the current state, and 4) a state of the memory that replaces the current state. These four variables make the computer program at least 4 dimensional. DNA molecule has 3-dimensional structure, but it is not enough for DNA to function. To do anything, it has to dynamically change. This adds a new dimension making it 4-dimensional. Congratulations about it. But if you research Google or Youtube and alike, then large part of these hours is wasted and even is counterproductive. If you want to study for real, you need to study from textbooks. -
Nice picture. And it's just a beginning. +1

Good for you. It took me longer.

Philosophical Implications Of Infinite Parallel Multiverses
Genady replied to Intoscience's topic in General Philosophy
I have Master degree in Computer Sciences and have learned and used more than a dozen of programming languages, and I don't see how you conclude that they "aren't 4 dimension." Can you help? I have also Master degree in biology and know quite a lot about DNA. I still don't see how you conclude that it is "3 dimensional." Can you help? Your last paragraph is not an answer to my question: is it? -
What exactly do you disagree with in what I said there? You don't need to, but you can.

Spacetime has 4 dimensions. It does not exist as a 4th dimension. How do you know this? How do you know this? Time is a component of spacetime. How do you distinguish between locally real and relatively real? -
It certainly floating. The floating masses of it are clearly visible at a distance. Sargasso Sea is more than thousand miles to the NE from us and against the Gulfstream. Our sargassum is not from there. The Sahara dust is well known here. The Amazon seems to be the culprit. I also saw a report saying that our sargassum floats here from Trinidad. It fits.

The OP question sounds to me akin asking, Can you be a football player and still like ballet? Regarding the OP question as it is, the answer depends on what kind of scientist and what kind of belief. For example, I don't see a problem with a Jewish crystallographer observing Sabbath. OTOH, I see a problem with a geologist believing that Earth is 5 thousand years old.

OK, I assume the vagueness of the article title is a click bait. The fish is rare regardless of it walking on its "hands". -

After the light reaches our eyes and after the signals go through our nervous system and through all the computations in the brain, our final perception at the end of the process is present. Plus, although I cannot see it, but something is happening in Andromeda in this very moment while I am typing this comment. It is present. -
Yes, but was not here until 4-5 years ago. It appears couple times a year now. Hmmm, I'll take Sargassum...

Yes, frogfish and other walking fish are quite common in Bonaire. That is why the article title looked wrong and misleading to me. But then I thought, maybe I just read it wrong (as English is not my native language.) -
You might know about unusual amounts of Sargassum appearing in Caribbean in recent years. Here, in the Southern Caribbean we also started to get it and it is not good at all. Here is how it looked this morning in a lagoon on the windward side of the island: I don't know details but guess that this phenomenon is a consequence of the climate change, which causes changes in water temperature distribution and currents. Any thoughts?

I don't see what makes you think so.
