Scientific Discoveries and Experiments

The video highlights three notable scientific achievements from 2018. It begins with a study on bees' reactions to a solar eclipse, revealing their sensitivity to light changes. Next, it discusses the discovery of the oldest human drawing, dating back 73,000 years, found in South Africa. Finally, it covers a groundbreaking experiment in Tokyo that created the strongest indoor magnetic field, surpassing expectations and breaking equipment. The video concludes with acknowledgments to SciShow patrons.

What is the main purpose of the video as introduced in the beginning?

• The movement of the moon.

• The buzzing patterns of bees.

• The reaction of humans.

How did the bees react during the totality of the solar eclipse?

• They became more aggressive.

• They flew in circles.

• They stopped buzzing almost entirely.

• They buzzed more frequently.

What significant discovery was made in a South African cave in 2018?
