Adrian Bejan | Ideas: predicting, not describing, from Design in Nature

In this video, Adrian Bejan compares the fighter jet to the designs of a hawk and a cheetah, and says this is the realm of outliers because its life is highly intermittent and not steady. He contrasts fighter jets that were underground during the Cold War and fly briefly with the B-52s that have been flying since the 50s, non-stop, and says it is no longer a surprise that they all kind of look the same as a commonality of design. He challenges scientists who think that everything we have comes from copying from nature, which they call biomimetics or biomimicry, and says airplanes came from the flexing of the brains of very smart people from all sorts of countries who arrived at very similar designs. Adrian Bejan says thinkers think and form images in their minds, and that believing in so-called copying from nature deprives you of the freedom to predict where the observed object came from in nature. He adds that he does not describe nature; he predicts it, because it is much shorter to predict than to describe, and he urges you to respect what occurs in your mind and write it down as soon as it does.
