The video discusses a scene from the anime "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" where a character named Bruno claims to be able to detect lies by licking someone's sweat. The host of the video, a film theorist, explores the science behind this claim and whether it's possible to detect lies through sweat.
The theorist explains that when people lie, they experience stress, which triggers the release of hormones like adrenaline, cortisol, and norepinephrine. These hormones cause changes in the body, including the production of a different type of sweat that's associated with stress.
However, the theorist notes that this type of sweat is not unique to lying and can be produced in response to any kind of stress. Therefore, Bruno's method of detecting lies through sweat is flawed and prone to false positives.
The video also draws a parallel between Bruno's method and polygraph tests, which measure physiological responses like heart rate and blood pressure to detect deception. However, the theorist notes that polygraph tests are also not foolproof and have been criticized for their lack of scientific validity.
Ultimately, the video concludes that while the science behind Bruno's method is interesting, it's not a reliable way to detect lies.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a classic battle series similar to Dragon Ball Z and My Hero Academia.
2. The first main arc of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure takes place in the Victorian era and follows Jonathan Joestar.
3. Jonathan Joestar is a rich British martial artist who uses rhythmic breathing to channel the energy of the Sun into his fists.
4. Vampires in the series can flash freeze anything they touch by dropping their body temperature.
5. The series has over 100 million copies in print and is one of the most successful series in history.
6. The manga side of JoJo is very popular, especially in the US.
7. The show has become a walking meme, with many scenes and characters being referenced and parodied.
8. Bruno, a character in the series, has the ability to create zippers on any surface and travel through space.
9. Bruno also has a remarkable sense of taste that allows him to tell whether someone is lying by licking their sweat.
10. When people lie, their brain releases three hormones: adrenaline, cortisol, and norepinephrine.
11. These hormones cause various changes in the body, including increased heart rate, focus, and reflexes.
12. The sweat produced by the apocrine glands is different from regular sweat and has a distinct smell.
13. The apocrine glands are mainly concentrated in the armpits and genital region.
14. Polygraph tests work by measuring factors like the amount of sweat, blood pressure, pulse, and breathing to determine whether someone is stressed when answering questions.
15. Polygraph tests have a varying accuracy rate, with some reports stating they are right 85% of the time, while others claim the accuracy is lower.
16. The National Research Council found no evidence of the polygraph's validity, and two-thirds of the scientific community consider it a pseudoscience.
