@erikbuchanan4648 3 года назад

Couple of questions: 1. Has there been any signs of evolution in any of the microscopic species since we've been able to observe them? 2. Are simplier creatures as likely to evolve as more complicated creatures? 3. Are there any way to view microscopic life in 3 dimensions or any good c.g.i. to give us a better idea of what they're like if we existed on their scales? Enjoy the videos. Its so easy to get caught up in our human lives. Video's like this help to remind there's a much bigger picture outside of our lives!

www.fastmetrics.com/internet-connection-speed-by-country.php This is why it's elitist to exclusively upload your content in 60fps with no alternate. It's just a plain fact you've locked the majority of users, locally and globally, out of full resolutions.

I am slightly frightened of what might survive on the stovetop. On the one hand, food residue constantly rains on it. On the other hand, it regularly gets blasted by fire, and kitchen-grade chemical cleaners.

*When I was but a budding bud at Microbe High. My fellow ciliates and I would always play* _The Flinching Game._ *It consisted of us anchoring ourselves eyespots deep into swirling particulates. First to succumb to the harsh vortices, with a reflex of the spontaneous body contraction, owed the rest of us mitochondria bites by the end of the school cycle! A classic pastime I must say!*

It took me a minute to recognize how the rapid contractions could serve as a 'first aide kit'; but then I realized that if a cell rapidly contracts, it reduces it's surface area, and closes the gap in the membrane at the site where calcium ions are entering. Most interesting!

@holidayhawk1991 3 года назад

This may be a stupid question, but why does everything always swim two dimensionally in these videos? Is it just because the slide isn't big enough for the microbes to swim up and down, or in the wild do they tend to find a "layer" of water to live in and then just swim around that two dimensional level, or are they moving up and down as well in the video it just doesn't seem like it?

@rosesacks7430 3 года назад

@@miko5167 I hear what your saying, but I still think it's not a necessary test. why speculate If these organisms arrived on earth via a meteorite or evolution? They're here. studying the habitat and behavior is beneficial research. (my opinion and everyone has one😂)

@miko5167 3 года назад

@@rosesacks7430 I see your point but the origin of life on earth is relevant for finding out where life could exist outside it. If life can be transported by meteorites to planets, it makes finding extraterrestial life more likely. Imagine how interesting it would be if all life on earth would be related to life on some other planet. Also, perhaps extraterrestial invasive species could be possible. More conventional research about ecosystems is important but I think there’s room for many kinds of research.

@DarwinianUniversal 2 года назад

Calcium ions, action potentials. The healing mechanism being the origin of all action potential. That's profound!!! Assuming its correct

@Atheistbatman 3 года назад

What about populations or population density? Every organism I notice outside seems much fewer in numbers over past few decades…especially insects and birds.

The one and only reason we exist is because those buggers started to move. And they started to move to eat better. Now we're trying to move to Mars, to eat better, however silly it may seem, but it boils down just to this. That's all there is to it.
