Topic: I Can Hear the Sea


  
  Ocean Life California Sea Lion - Adaptation
The exact reason is unknown, but one theory states that sea lions may swallow rocks to create a false sensation of feeling full during the period when they fast.
Studies have shown that sea lions can hear frequencies as low as 100 Hz and as high as 40,000 Hz, while humans have a hearing range of 20-20,000 Hz.
Females can recognize their pups by their distinctive scent and males use their sense of smell to recognize females in estrous during the breeding season.

Believing that everything on land had its equivalent in the sea, that if there were sea monks there were presumably other religious ranks carrying on their good work under the seas, they also discovered the sea bishop.
The sea bishop was, naturally, a much less common creature than the monk, but it is recorded that one came ashore in Norway in 1526 and lived on land for six days.

A direct hint to the explanation can be given by the following experiments: One holds the can with one or two hands; the can lies on the floor or on some table; one holds the can firmer and firmer.
When the can is not held by hands, the effect disappears, and the firmer one holds the can, the larger the amplitude of the oscillation is. It is the trembling of the muscles which can be seen by these experiments: The microvibration of muscles have been found in 1943 by the Austrian neuropathologist Rohrbacher.

When watching the film, you can identify and empathise with the characters.
However, this film could be pretty confusing, because there are parts where it has around 3 nested layers, in which a character recalls a scenario, and within that, recalls yet another scenario.
