Underrated content & channel. Wish more people had this level of interest or passion when it comes to the origins of life and the possibility of the existence of extraterrestrials on other planets : )
Welcome back, Maria^^ Hope life is doing fine over on your end :) I sent you a project in which my uni takes part in on discord which works on archaeic organisms and early life on earth. Maybe this would be interesting for you.^^ Also, no shame in taking time to research stuff. But some semi-regular updates over the community-tap would be neat to know what's up :)
Just watched 3 videos on your channel, and you've definitely earned a new sub. Your editor deserves lots of credit, but also your writer/researcher (bonus points for adding your script to the transcription for youtube). Most of all, the way you approach complex biology topics is refreshing.... Not too much humor, but still not too serious. A+ work for sure ,❤
This video had me hooked from beginning to end! The origin of life on earth tells us much of where to look elsewhere. If we're not even the only ones living in the solar system, how many other planets have oceans full of life? How many possible worlds are there out there?
This channel, Gutsick Gibbon and EV Nautilus are some of my favorite channels, among many others such as Anton Petrov. So much information and education on RUclips, I learn something new everyday, I love it. And thank you for the video, I love this stuff so much, it’s extremely fascinating.
I think the first cells originated in freshwater geysers or hot springs pools on land where the mineral rich water could evaporate and concentrate organic compounds.... And you just mentioned it in the video as I was typing
Wasn't expecting the Angela Collier shoutout, she's rapidly become one of my fav science educators on the platform. Really good video, thank you for making it :)
1:50 Here's a quick summary on why aliens won't be silicon based or other elements: 1. The reason life must be based on elements of carbon group is that carbon group elements have the most formable bonds. 4 outermost electron can form single bond, double bond, triple bond, quadruple bond. This gives diversity on life forming molecules. 2. The reason why it can not be silicon or other heavy carbon group is that at temperature where water is liquid (being able to dissolve and carry life forming molecules) silicon is mostly solid (And that most silicon based molecules are not water soluble). There won't be a diverse silicon molecules to cycle through an eco system like carbon cycles.
Hey that's a nice story but abiogenesis is kind of a joke if you actually look into it. Yes there are 4 carbon Mol. Points but it's not likely that any proteins will ever get developed with out the DNA and cell to direct it. Even the latest origins of life experiments are highly over exaggerated and unrealistic at best. I'm not sure what articles you have read but I haven't seen any realistically giving any real break through. So I don't get why people push these ideas when there is nothing to show that it's even possible let alone likely. I'm not trying to pick at you I just don't see any real evidence for it
@@vikingskuld Abiogenesis or not, it doesn't change the fact that carbon has the most diverse molecules, and its molecules exist in diverse range of states, in diverse range of conditions. And carbon being perfect-sized for optimal energy usage. Life would greatly favour carbon as its base.
@@fairy6818 I'm not even arguing that carbon isn't great for life. Your right on all that it's just all the other little stuff to get life doesn't really form naturally. That's what I'm trying to point out. Even if dna was able to some how miraculously assemble the thing people don't think about is all that's on a time limit. The very things that form the building blocks of life and that helps life it the very thing that breaks it all down as well. Water sunlight oxygen all degrade dna. It's a lit of information in a small subject but you seem like you know enough to know that. Best of luck to ya.
A very informative video , that blur the boundary between alchemy and biology hope we can simulate creating life out of life less element , good work , love your video
I may have missed it, but did you talk about the traces of elements that cannot be produced by geological processes? Astrologists like to look at the signatures of the atmosphere of exoplanets, hoping to find such elements. Finding any would be a likely proof of life. Best example is O2, since oxygen binds easily to other elements and therefor would most likely not be present in the atmosphere without some sort of synthesis. There was a press conference by NASA within the last few years where they discussed finding one of those supposed signature elements in the atmosphere of venus. Given the state of Venus, life should not be possible there, so there is probably still a lot to do in order to figure out which molecules would be the best candidates.
Great video, very knowledgable. I thought of a video idea that would be fun & might draw in some viewers: Going over descriptions within older direct eyewitness reports of "sea monsters" to try & identify what animal(s) they were likely seeing. I know there were a spate of them off the US East Coast in the 1800s. Not sure if there are any YT videos on this subject but I know there are a few books that have collected these accounts. Maybe even get some other YTbers together to brainstorm?
The "lost city" type is new to me. Was just wondering what you were doing too. Just saw the video on my feed today. Also they're working on a new Subnautica and it will have "water" :D
Water and ice covered water worlds appear to be quite common, so I believe it possible that "extraaquaticals" may be more common than extraterrestrials in the Universe. If aliens wanted to hide on Earth the oceanic abyssal floors may be very much like their homeworld environment, and quite convenient for cohabitating quietly while on our planet.
Sea&me if u had the superpowers like aquaman and u could breathe underwater no matter how high the water pressure is would u rather go explore the Bermuda Triangle or the Mariana Trench
Hello ! I have a question. Why didn't marine biologists or scientists try to solve the mysteries of the Deep Sea, such as the Baltic Sea Anomaly, "The Bloop"? I know all of these mysteries have a scientific explanation, no doubt ! I am asking you because you are a marine biologist🤗. Thanks and have a good day!
A number of countries have been lobbied hard by a number of companies so they can mine the ocean floor esp in/around hydrothermal vents - so far all the attempts for mining with machines on the sea floor have broken or not worked... so far
Being able to self-replicate is part of the preconditions for something to be considered alive. So by definition something is only alive once it can self-replicate. Until then, its only a bunch of organic compounds.
@@SeamemariaI guess it's much stranger than just that. Think about it - both things must come together. In the hunt for life we should not look for life - but for something able to reproduce. I find it way more plausible for something able to reproduce to come to life than something alive developping reproduction within the first generation.
So much information packed into one video. Expertly explained with clarity and precision.
Thank so much! That's very nice of you 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed it

Hey Christoph! A lot of life has been happening. I will check out what you sent me on Discord 🙂
@@Seamemaria hopefully mostly good things or at least more good than Bad *sending empathy*
"cell shenanigans" 😂😂
Nice to see an upload from you, Maria! That must have been many hours of work. 👏👏👏
Thank you! A lot of research went into this one. But it was a lot of fun!

this is underrate channel, found here from wild world which is also pretty underrated
Thank you for this video, Maria. I am so much interested in this process of life developing. This was really thrilling for me.
Loved this! Thank you so much for this video! I always appreciate and feel how much work and attention goes into your videos. 💙
Late because YT forgot to send me notification for this video but I must say what an amazing one! Great job Maria!
Thank you! ^^

maybe you'd like to make a video about viruses and how they survive? it's interesting, viruses are life or fragments of evolution gears
Wasn't expecting the Angela Collier shoutout, she's rapidly become one of my fav science educators on the platform. Really good video, thank you for making it :)
Yeah, she is great! I really admire her storytelling ability. Her videos keep me hooked with barely any visuals needed.
Your German pronunciation was on point! Your English has also improved greatly!
Danke schon!

That doesn't address the possability of carbon life forms "evolving" into silicon life forms.
Wow, such a great video. The work you put into this really shows.
Thank you! :)

This close up shot of this fish is so darn cute 6:42. I don't know how can I explain it, it's just so cute!

Great video and lots of content! The deep sea is so fun
Agreed!
Great video, very knowledgable.
I thought of a video idea that would be fun & might draw in some viewers:

Thank you, excellent science communication 5 stars
The "lost city" type is new to me. Was just wondering what you were doing too. Just saw the video on my feed today. Also they're working on a new Subnautica and it will have "water" :D
Whenever I watch your videos, I always just end up wanting to play Subnautica (for the nth time)
In this case especially I even talk about ET 😅
Fascinating presentation. Why aren’t mor people talking about this?
It’s been a long time since I last watched you but you’re like Lindsay Nikole for marine biology
i think life still needs light because the animals that live in darkness feed off things which fall from the surface of the ocean
After your Subnautica adventures, would you do another Let's Play game? Have you heard of Dave the Diver? So fun and so cute! 🐠🐡🦑😱
Could you pleeeease play "Under the Waves"? its an underwater scuba diving game, you'd love it I think!
Water and ice covered water worlds appear to be quite common, so I believe it possible that "extraaquaticals" may be more common than extraterrestrials in the Universe. If aliens wanted to hide on Earth the oceanic abyssal floors may be very much like their homeworld environment, and quite convenient for cohabitating quietly while on our planet.
we have another video - thank you - I hope you and work going well for you
Thank you! Happy to be back :)
so intresting !
Thanks! I love this stuff!
Nice!
Sea&me if u had the superpowers like aquaman and u could breathe underwater no matter how high the water pressure is would u rather go explore the Bermuda Triangle or the Mariana Trench
Hmmm... Maybe the Bermuda Triangle. There are probably a lot of super old shipwrecks in the area.
First thing that comes to mind is where aliens are most likely to land. Then there are those octopuses...

Well, when the Vogons are coming for us, we know that the dolphins will be the first to go back to their planet.
42?
@@Seamemaria Same series. You're learning.
@@Imbapiranhahitchhikers guide?
@@ASurfgirl Indeed. The dolphins leave with the message "thanks for all the fish"
Did they find Jimmy Hoffa down there?
Good

Yeah, I know about that ongoing discussion. I might be doing a couple of videos on deep-sea mining.
Here I am, after watching from History that octopus might be aliens, or species of aliens

The strangest thing about life for me is that it came to be and immediately knew how to reproduce,
Being able to self-replicate is part of the preconditions for something to be considered alive. So by definition something is only alive once it can self-replicate. Until then, its only a bunch of organic compounds.
@@SeamemariaI guess it's much stranger than just that. Think about it - both things must come together. In the hunt for life we should not look for life - but for something able to reproduce.

Because aliens have bases beneath the sea floor and inside mountains.
We could find bacterial life...that's very possible
You
Nikole is awesome! ♥️
serpentinization ) I didn't know, thank you
R u and Physics girl related 🤔 ,,, i always got confused with u two🤗
salt we eat salt :) it's a inorganic rock
True, but not a carbon source 🙂
@@Seamemaria yes you're right :)
80% of the ocean is unexplored . . . . a lot of crap could be down there
4:26 anyone care to explain this joke to me?
Interesting info. and ur beautiful.
Because that's where they live? Just spitballing.
Arghh there’s no extraterrestrial life
