The physics of sperm vs. the physics of sperm whales Aatish Bhatia
View full lesson: Traveling is extremely arduous for microscopic sperm think of a human trying to swim in a pool made humans. We can compare the journey of a sperm to that of a sperm whale by calculating the Reynolds number, a prediction of how fluid will behave, often fluctuating due to size of the swimmer. Aatish Bhatia explores the great (albeit tiny) sperm s journey. Lesson by Aatish Bhatia, animation by B
