Chapter 20 Oyster Enlightenment

It's easy to understand why the institutions that study marine life are mostly set up in coastal areas. Even if we don't hear the waves or see the sea from the windows in the Institute of Oceanography, we will feel that the name is not worthy of the name.Fortunately not every study is conducted by the sea, otherwise we would lose some precious revelations. An American marine biology researcher named Brown took a batch of oysters to a laboratory thousands of miles away from the coast. The oysters raised in his laboratory in Evanston, Illinois, far from the coast, opened at the same time, and closed when the sea thousands of miles away was low tide.Opening and closing, following the distant trend that cannot be seen or heard, opening and closing, it is not at all pleasant.

It's like Hao'er never forgets his hometown. This is not the most amazing place. After two weeks of opening and closing with the high and low tides of the distant home ocean, the oysters all began to open and close at another time and rhythm, as if they had completely forgotten the call of the home ocean. Brown calculated the difference before and after, and was so surprised that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear. It turned out that the new rhythm of Haoer's opening and closing happened to be assuming that Evanston, where the laboratory is located, was by the sea. ton of time.

Haoer's hometown is not far away, but the ubiquitous universe.
