There’s always something new to learn at the Field. We’re Chicago’s natural history museum-home to dinosaurs like SUE the T. rex, meteorites and stardust, stories from cultures around the world, and so much more. In our videos, travel alongside scientists and dive deep into the collection.
As always, Roman..I liked the video. A slight disagreement to one of the signs which was being held up in the video... Climate change is inevitable. It is mainly dictated by solar conditions errant rocks cashing into us, and the ebb and flo plant species and algea. We certainly play our role. Yet, any scientist who denies this and blames human beings as main cause is sorely mistaken. No amount of U.S. dollars (100T committed by the Biden administration to the Paris Climate Accord with no over sight as to how our money will be used) is going to stop this from happening. There was a time when oxygen was so prevalent. The planet had 1 meter sized dragonflies and centipetes you could skate board on. Then there was a mass exiction presumably which killed off most of the larger species of animals on Earth. Whereby, their total decay created massive planetary bacterial blooms, which caused our oceans to become acidic far beyond the comfortable 7ph the oceans are holding today. Causing further death and adaptation and evolution of surviving species. This reshaped the climate. No humans were present, or we're told to believe. To date, currently, there are only 1% of the total species of plants and animals that ever existed on the planet. The other 99% of all species has gone extinct. We are their offspring. Literally, one volcano can cause climate change. Id like to add this for the record. People are being led by the nose ring on this subject. The only true benefactors are exceedingly rich. For, it is their companies which will gain from these green contracts the save the world. It is far more complicated than simply throwing money at it, which will be derived from a already burdened society as it stands now. It is better to save the money and let the planet run its due course. Thank you for reading.
Home boys email is blowing up, lol. Then a grandfather clock chimed. Was waiting for churchbells, a firetruck, air raid siren, sonic boom and maybe some gunshots. Poor Sue, she's been through so much both alive and dead.
Only 470 views?? 0 comments? This was such a beautiful infusion of scientific education and social advocacy! It deserves so much more attention than that! Recently I've been interested in the transition from dinosaurs to modern birds, so I've listened to several of Dr. O'Conner lectures across RU-vid now, but this one was such a beautiful look into the heart and mind behind the science. I wish more science educators would be vulnerable and personal in this way. This resonates with general audiences and hearing the humanity behind the science makes general audiences more trusting of messages that can change complex social issues in our world today, making those messages more effective.
can you make more animated videos like this on your channel, like one about the specimans of animals that are extinct because of man that you have both on display, and behind the scenes in your collection rooms like the mexican grizzly bear, the xerxes blue butterfly, the dodo bird, the passenger pigeon, and other creatures like that?
At this point evolution is a false religion anything found that may go against it is quickly made excuses for, this fish is cleary the same fish that they claimed lived millions of years ago, so why is it still some how exactly the same and has not evolved? This is why they always say it's a "distance cousin" or an "relative" of the actual fish. There are literally thousands of animals they say went extinct million of years ago that they find and use the same old excuses for. Evolution is a lie and a fairytale for all the weak minds conditioned by their governments to maintain power.
There's absolutely no reason for nonsense opening lines like this. Grow up. It's a fish. It's related to its parents. Shhhhuttt uuupppp! Update: oh good grief... he used fishes wrong(the first time), too. This guy sucks.
I hate to bring this to your attention but the fish hasn't evolved or changed in 170 million years. And if other species evolved from that one fish. Then how is it that fish is still alive today? 170 million years old and it's not changed or evolved in that time.
Game Freak and The Pokemon Company did one good thing: Through the Pokemon RELICANTH, they helped raise positive awareness of the actual Coelacanth and its importance in its conservation.
