Classic navigation

ByRichard Nissen 30 August 201111 October 2012 Reading Time: 1 minute

In classic navigation at the beginning of the journey we need to know where we are in order to plot where we are going. If you navigate with a compass you need a map to show you where you are and where you want to go. This then gives you a bearing and distance.

With innate navigation you do not seem to need to know where you are in order to decide where you are going.

Homing pigeons spiral into the air as they are released and then set off in the approximate bearing for their lofts.

There are many birds, animals and fish that seem to sense the direction that they must travel and set off in the right direction.

The analogy is perhaps picking up a GPS device and tapping in your destination. You do not need to know your location but the bearing you need is there.

There seems to be no requirement for knowing where you are to trigger a sense of the direction you need to get to your destination.

Try this experiment – Use dowsing to find direction and distance

First, you will need to make your tool: a Dowsing Rod. Take a wire coat hanger. Cut one of the diagonal bars going up to the hook. Cut this with pliers about 6” (15cm) from the corner to the horizontal bar (which you use to hang your clothes). Now cut the horizontal bar near the…

Animal Navigation is based on quantum effects

Quantum mechanics proposes that there has been a quantum computer running since the beginning of time that records everything, and also that there is entanglement where things are forever linked however far apart they are This world is so weird and unlikely that it is impossible to understand properly or as Feynman said if you…

Honey bees are not effected by Magnetism

Our associate editor Antonio Nafarrate has brought this paper to my attention. “Does the Earth’s magnetic Field serve as a reference alignment for the Honeybee waggle dance” (Dec 2014) by Professor Gerhard Gries et al. This paper is fascinating as it uses the famous waggle dance performed inside the hive by the foragers to show…

Another description of how animal navigation might work

In a recent address to RIN Dr Kate Jeffery of the Institute of Behavioural Neuroscience at University College London described a very complete structure for understanding animal navigation. See https://animalnav.org/navigation-networks-in-the-brain/ We at www.animalnav.org have been struggling with exactly these concerns. Prof Jeffery postulates that you need four things to create a navigation system A compass…

A Sense of Direction – some more examples

I hold the view that animals, the ancient peoples and the Aborigines navigate perfectly well without compasses. This we often call a sense of direction. People with a sense of direction very seldom get lost even on dark nights even in unfamiliar territory. Not everyone has a sense of direction but those who do rely on…
