Viral video of Dead Fish moving Explained
This video of a dead fish moving even after its head had been cut off has kept everyone thinking. How the hell can some dead thing move? If you watch the video below you will notice that the head and the guts of the fish has totally been removed and all that remains is the muscle tissue which covers the interiors of the fish body. As soon as the woman in the video brings the knife to scale off the fish it somehow turns and reacts to the woman and trust me that looks very creepy.
Watch the video here:
The one possible explanation to the weird phenomenon is that the fish is freshly dead and its nerves and muscles are still intact or let's just say that their biochemical machinery is still operational. The energy in the muscle cells, ATP, is still present and unused. In its life time, the fish used these ATP to move its muscles when the signal from its brain reached the cells. After its death it will have nothing to receive any such signal so anything similar which can produce the similar effect on the cells can make them do the similar.
Scientists have proved that electrical signals and salt can produce the similar effects as of the signals from the brain. So, as soon as we apply electricity or salt on the freshly dead cells they will tend to react until the ATP in the cells are exhausted or through any other means which may upset the biochemical machinery.
Another example of the similar phenomenon is captured below:
Maybe the Fish's remains react to the salt in the knife or the cloth when firmly held during the removal of scales which makes the musles react courtesy to the unused ATP in its cells.
