This was supposedly due to a standing wave of energy from ultra sound being pumped into it. Rife was doing this work back in the 1940s. Like a wine glass will oscillate and shatter when enough energy is pumped into it, so organisms too should rupture due to the same cause. It's all about resonance.
Why were the contractile vacuoles not working? From my guess, it looked like it exploded because it couldn't eject the excess water. For those who don't know what vacuoles are, it's the two blank looking spaces inside with the pointy extensions. It stores water. Because the amount of water inside the cell is less than the outside the water enters the cell due to osmosis. When there is too much water the vacuoles contract forcing out the water, hence, 'contractile vacuole'. I think it exploded because the top vacuole wasn't working properly. What I don't get was why might it have stopped working? Or maybe I'm completely wrong if that's the case could someone explain why it blew up?
like watching a snot bubble pop. for what ever reason this is really interesting. came looking for a video after reading these things could explode if their tube (vacuoles) stopped working.
