A shark's skin may look rough under a microscope, but it feels smooth because our skin can't perceive the grooves and edges. It's like how a marble feels smooth, but is actually very uneven and bumpy. This has lead to many scientists referring to sharks as "marbleskins" in many circles.

It's like how a marble feels smooth, but is actually very uneven and bumpy. This has lead to many scientists referring to sharks as "marbleskins" in many circles. I think you’re just poking fun, but I am going to take one more shot at this before giving up and going to bed. In the mid-1600s, when van Leeuwenhoek invented the first really useful microscopes, people (mostly van Leeuwenhoek at the beginning) put everything under them. When Robert Hooke published the Micrographia in 1660-something, he did not include shark skin, but he did include shark skin in later, less-well-known treatises. He determined that shark skin was smooth, but that was due mostly to a lack of resolution and clarity in the instruments, even using the improved designs of van Leeowenhoek, but also partially due to the importance of angle which I’ve already noted. Subsequent study showed Hooke’s conclusions on the nature of shark skin to be faulty. I think the first to show why appeared in... I want to say 1790 or 1800? Aaaand I am reminded why I did not pursue a career in teaching after completing my degree. This subject is just too muddled in the minds of the public, and I do not have the patience.

It's like you guys all forgot the shark petting sidequest in the Friends game. Seriously, the amount of stuff I've learned about shark skin from that little part alone is astounding.

Those gloves really make it clear where the confusion is. The smoothness of shark skin depends on which side you are rubbing. As you can clearly tell from the gloves, shark skin is very rough, but only on the inside. The outside of the shark is indeed smooth as hell.

Why do you think swimmers shave? Smoother skin lets them swim as fast as sharks, the smoothest and fastest sea animal ever known

Holy poo poo. I had no idea this was a Twitter thing. I just looked it up and saw the comic. That sort of poo poo is why people in my field have to keep dealing with this nonsense. Instead of feeling like I wasted my time, I choose to feel good that I got to justify some of my very hefty student loans by taking my minor (degree subject, not child) out for a walk. Edit: Going to sleep for real, now. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Man, I went swimming with sharks last year but the guides told me not to touch them to avoid "incidents" so I have no idea if they're smooth or not
