It's like agar.io
XD
was just gonna write that
They were teaming!
omg I was just about to say that cx

Ah, so basically what you're saying is that the reason I can't get that girl I've been pursuing is because we both contain different concentrations of water, and we evaporate at different rates. It makes so much sense now! ;-)
The clear answer is to take water out of the equation entirely. Dehydrate yourselves,and your ashes will live together forever.
Or,maybe,you could just water her like a plant to try to compensate for the difference in moisture. Just splash her with a gallon of water per day. xD
@@nolanhaggen8252 There was that drunk girl in a bar one day, trying to make contact, the high concentration of her perfume and alcohol kept pushing me away, even not seeing her instinctively made me flee as I was not wearing any perfume nor very drunk. Experience conclusion validated.
Exactly that but with alcohol.
So all the guys run from me cause I’m too concentrated for them. Makes sense.
Actually, it's the water that's playing hard to get. 😄
I can't recall how many times I've been told that there is some magical barrier between life and non-life. If anything, the difference between the two is more of a sliding scale of complexity rather than a dividing line. This is probably one of the best examples I've seen of something so simple and inanimate performing tasks we usually ascribe to living things. Great Job Derek!
+Brandon Hall It's more of a wishful analogy than an actual example.
+Brandon Hall The difference between life and non-life is astounding. Else, why hasn't a scientist ever created life in the lab? I'm not talking about taking something already living and making a change to it. I'm talking about taking some kind of raw ingredients and making life from it. We can't actually do that. The closest scientists have ever come is probably the cloning process that produced Dolly the Sheep and even that began with an existing viable egg cell and a nucleus. Those scientists didn't make the egg or the nucleus. Making life from non-life must be very, very difficult or this would be commonplace.
The example in this video, while interesting, is such an incredible leap from non-life to life that no objective scientist would waste their time defending it let alone promoting the argument. It's just too full of holes.
+DuelScreen Apparently you do not know of the Miller-Urey Experiment.
We did make the raw ingredients of life from inorganic compounds. This was done in 1952. Go read some books, would you?
+Brandon Hall The differences between life and non-life (death) is very similar to differences between liquids and solids. You can clearly see they are very different but the more closely you examine the border, the harder it is to see any. Close enough, you can no longer tell any difference: solids kind-of flow and liquids kind-of don't. (This was partly covered in Derek's video on glass, pitch and Earth mantle.)
+Brandon Hall Apophenia. Similar does not equal identical. Water evaporation may be an analogy, as Deego said, but not an example. We can't be naive enough to assume just because something acts similarly or looks similar, that it serves the same purpose. Lighting has similar patterns to veins. Neurons look eerily similar to a projected view of the structure of the universe. Likewise, the physics of evaporation looks like microbial life. Certainly nature has patterns all throughout it, but not all patterns are correlative.
so deep...
so simple...
so beautiful....
so... natur-al
+jhony arias agree, it was close... than started some bullshitting.. but it was really close! :D
Maybe its maybelline
+jhony arias not natur-ol?
man, you are high, these are only drops of water.
What if you used sperm?
It is so cool, nice video :)
+Louis DUPRE BERTONI Glad to know that some other personnes francophones watch veritasium
+Dr Nozman lol mon ami ur here
Very cool, I'm sure you could use the moving liquids for cool movie special effects
Oh hi
With names between them？
What's the show be called, maybe just Droplets?
The music that starts at 0:32 perfectly captures my mental state.
Got the mechanical monkey in my head dancing frantically
The secret to cooling glass without it shattering is to cool it slowly. Glassmakers will actually cool their creations in an _oven_ that slowly heats the glass less and less over hours or days.
So something like a two-step process of cooling the glass in a kitchen stove first might actually work. And not putting it on cold metal to cool because that draws heat out of the glass like there's no tomorrow.
+Penny Lane Yeah I was going to mention this as well.
3:00 that's a very strange kitchen.
Y?
+John Smith Or maybe, just maybe, he cleaned his kitchen because he was going to film there...
+FunkyFish Its probably a set.
+FunkyFish no one cares
+John Smith What is strange about it? Looks like a kitchen.
One of my favorite Veritasium videos so far, loved it.
Great work Derek. A genuine, original and creative video. Kudos.
This slow zoom during you conclusion enhance it so much. Strange how such a simple thing as a zoom can make such a difference between some simple sentences and a powerful conclusion about life.
1:27 the quintessential Veritasium music! always love it when that music starts playing. I feel like thats when the video really begins anyone else?
+Kaiser William so happy when i hear that tune!
+Kaiser William same as in vsauce videos.
im just imagining giving this as a science presentation. that would be so good
OH MY GOD YOU'RE A COLDPLAYER, I'VE SEEN A LOT OF YOUR COMMENTS ON COLDPLAY VIDEOS BUT SEEING YOU HERE MADE ME ESPECIALLY HAPPY.....ah my heart I love both veritasium and coldplay
This is absolutely amazing!
That last point before the 'credits' especially.
Thankyou Derek.
Thanks V. Long time no see, hope you make more videos. You are actually my favourite subscription. Very thought provoking.
"When I put Sam Pepper into this pot of boiling water."
Lol, didn't expect that coming 😂😂😂
Those drops on the slide, still better than all the new cartoons. #bringtomandjerryback
My dad, the wise man that he is, used the soap and pepper illustration to tell a story about Italian immigration when I was a kid. He put the pepper in a bowl of water and said that the Italians came to America to start a new life, but when the Americans told them they had to bathe [he sticks the bar of soap in the water] all the Italians ran away. Yes, the great knowledge of my father...
I've been a subscriber over a long period of time over here...and probably it's the most useful channel on RUclips.👍
Some straight up wizardy here...
you just explained life and evolution to me, somehow I never could understand how the essence of all of it worked,
+Dalloz Cansing I see what you did there, but still far away from explaining the origins of life ;)
+Dalloz Cansing
movent of gradient is a very important part of cell life.
But i would rather say it is something the cells(extremely often) use,
but not "what they are".
to be honest using the concept of evolution on things like this does
hardly make any sense to me, as how does a droplet survive? how does it
reproduce? it doesn't even have genes?
I think its a faszinating phenomenon but this is the first time in your
videos i found the conclusion too simplified. :)
keep it up :)!
+Milky Cowish It's a big part of the basic ground work of the beginning of life. Just like phospho lipid bi-layers, and amino acids synthesized from inorganic compounds by natural catalysis.
+999is666upsidedown
Jesus used smaller words and made much more sense, just saying...
Jesus made 0 sense though, so yeah.
Fascinating. Thanks for introducing this, Veritasium. Lots of stuff I want to look into now.
It is my second most favorite video on this channel and on youtube. Splendid.Thanks a lot.
Is it me or does this look like Agar.io?
+Mayur (「 Mayur 」)
well that game is based on molecules so yeah
+Mayur (「 Mayur 」) same
+Mayur (「 Mayur 」) The first thing I thought of was agar.io xD
+Mayur (「 Mayur 」) Agar.io Hyper-Realistic HD Version 2.0!
Great agar.io gameplay right here man!
Very interesting, and I appreciated the subtle camera zoom when you were explaining the microbes' natural usage of basic chemistry.
one of the best channels on any medium. thank you v for your time and teaching.
Actual life is a bit more complicated, but really great demonstration. :)
+Pieceratops Don't pretend that life is more complicated? lol, ok. Tell that to all the microbiologists who study this stuff for years.
***** Eugene Khutoryansky? Is that you? I had no idea you also made "cartoons and stuff".
Has this channel and VSauce and or ASAPScience ever collaborated?? They would all go so well together!!
+MrsMythical YES, with Vsouce.. Search for "what is NOT random" video.
Veritasium and Vsauce actually did 2 collab videos, titled "What Is Random?" and What Isn't Random?"
+MrsMythical Check "Some Surprising things" video on Vsauce's channel ;)
thanks everyone for replying, I will look it up!!
+MrsMythical He also did a colab with Destin from Smarter Everyday about the Toilet Swirl and australia stuff
Great vid Derek. Simple but so utterly enjoyable. More of these kind of vids please (slinky/beaker balance/ice spikes/rotating pvc pipe, chain drop, etc).
Hey, that's the song used on the Tipping Point Math channel! Worth checking out, i'm sure many of Derek's fans will find it appealing.
I love how I get less existential crises and more of a sense of wonderment with these science-y videos :) thank you
Can you be my science teacher? I understand this so much more than what i learn in lessons for some reason.
This is a fascinating concept! Thanks for making a video on this!
Your definition of life is so incredible.
Oh hey, Snatoms!
I was wondering.. Would you maybe write the keywords/terms on the screen when you say them? English isn't my first language and I have some dyslexia, so I can't spell it for further research or put it in my flash cards. :)
Neat, a new Veritasium video! I was just watching Uranium: Twisting the Dragon's Tail, so happy I was able to catch it on TV this time.
Great to see a video again, was looking forward to one. Busy with the snatoms I imagine
*I thought the title said at first," Do These Liquids Look Alike?",then I actually noticed it didn't, lol! :D*
Lol same here
me too
+Abalam Anderson Me too! Why did so many people read it that way? XD
Wow, this just opened my eyes. Biologically, this is possibly how life started. Water and motion... just amazing.
You know it is a good day when Veritasium releases a video! :-)
It is fascinating indeed.
Keep up the good work Mr.Derek.
When are you making the transporter video?
And again...you should be wearing googles when working in a lab (preparing slides over heat) even if it is your kitchen.
***** Thanks...stupid autocorrect.
+Nexus2Eden He is a pro xD He doesn't need protection
this experiment doesnt require googles unless you have no idea on what you're doing
Riahisama You always wear goggles when conducting experiments, it is lab safety 101. Because you never know what will happen just like the slide shattering...it could have injured him and every scientist knows this.
SuperBulisHD Ahhh...yes he does.
You should do an entire video with just those water drops chasing each other around. 4 or 5 minutes of lighthearted music and fun colors can brighten anyone's day.
Hello from Russia. I don't know English, but I love watching translations of your videos. You explain things in a very interesting way, and thank you for that. Sorry for the clumsy translation)))
0:16 - I thought he was going to say
"It looks just like Agar.io"
Every time a veritasium video comes out, I feel like I need to drink vsauce, then I might become smartereveryday, it's not like I can understand physics in a minute, or the earth in a minute, but PBS studios fills the void that school doesn't fill! ;) Like if you get that!
+Manas Sarpatwar If you fell like a zombie you shall try a bit of thebrainscoop
Wonderful presentation of explaining the principles!!! Thanks!!
Lauri
There's a slight problem with that last part: Life only deteriorates into extinction. It is mathematically and scientifically impossible for it to happen the other way around. Describing life solely in terms of its chemical properties is like describing a computer solely in terms of its electrical properties. Just like how most of how a computer works is *conceptual* in nature, so is most of how life works *conceptual* in nature. And just as how electricity is our method of realizing the concept of computing, so chemistry is the method of realizing the concept of life. Concepts require a mind that is both capable of creating them and realizing them.
First ! Now mom will finaly be proud
finally*
+Tómas Orri Örnólfsson oh wow.. fail.
HJMadventures
I break apart when I got stressed too, am I a piece of glass?
Fascinating and inspiring. Thank you again, Veritasium.
Every video you make is brilliant!
Wow... going from foodcolouring on a glass slide to the formation of living organisms....
AGARIO IRL
one of your best videos, loved every bit of it, thanks!
short and amazing video, great job
That thing with the drops looks like agar.io
+Joe Higgitt agar.io is supposed to look like cells chasing each other, so that makes sense.
Now I don't feel sad, even at microscopic level there is something called friendzone.
Amazing video (again) Derek!
this is so amazing derek!
why can't science in school be like this?
***** True dat
+Chris Allen because teachers passionate like Derek are rare specimens. Also they have to obey ministry of instruction programs, which is sad as often ministers of instructions are ignorant as goats
because if you are learning something like this in a school, then you will also have to learn this in great detail which will include math and equations and what not.
but in this and most other awesome science channel, they skip the math and all the additional details which one must know in order to get a degree in that subject..
so short answer is this,
in these youtube channels, you just get an introduction and the beauty part of it which makes you go wow.
However if you want to come up with such wow things, you need to know the stuff in detail. (including math and equations probably)
+FloatHeadPhysix Very true, but a teacher should nevertheless strive to cultivate that wow feeling and sell the lessons by also sharing his personal wow feelings
+FloatHeadPhysix No reason it couldn't be shown in the younger years of schooling in order to get students interested in science
They move because of the midichlorians
Your videos are top notch. Love your material mate.
Loved the video! Especially the lines at the end
It's like the game Agar.io
Also known as cancer
+Roland Hkj yeah minus rage and douche-bags who split to eat you up
@@guyclykos Aren't you supposed to split to eat people up in agar.io? Why are you calling them douche-bags?
2:28 dab
+BenCubed I see you also like cubing
Yeah I main the yuexiao and average 19. How about you?
Fascinating as always!
I really liked this one. Your final comments regarding how life evolved was pretty inspiring. I usually think of evolution as being restricted to life (even higher forms of life), but it makes sense that it applies to simple chemical processes as well.
Thanks!
this is like the game agario
why are there so many evolution deniers in this comment section? it's not even about evolution. was sure most evolution deniers would be attracted to comment on a video that says 'ecolution' somewhere in the title.
+Yelena Antipova Им всё равно. Они просто хотят поныть о наболевшем ))) Креационисты их не понимают. Эволюционисты их не понимают. Видимо им одиноко - вот и ноют чтобы привлечь внимание )))
Really interesting video! I am always happy, when the RUclips app 'dings' and it shows me, that you've uploaded a nrw video.
Thank you for your work, and keep it up! :)
I don't understand how 1% of people could ever be so stupid as to dislike this.
4:05 Anyone else think of Carl Sagan at this point
Looks like agario took over the world
+Job van Dieten This is Veritasium's secret way of playing it!
This is so fascinating. I love how much I learn from your channel.
Great video, Derek. Thank you
What is the happy bouncy music used at the beginning?
+Curt TDH Its a tune from Kerbal Space Program
+Blindobat
Thanks so much!
Curt TDH no problemo!
It's like Agar.io game 😂
+Dr.Re lol
Beautiful video. Beautiful ending.
Great video and very cool stuff!
0:10 thats a real life agar.io
real life Agar.io?
Fascinating! I'd seen the pepper/soap thing in school, except we used lycopodium powder - pepper grinders were only to be found in Italian restaurants back in those prehistoric days! But I have never seen or even heard of the experiment with different concentrations: thanks for showing us and explaining so clearly.
This is so cool . All the times I've worked in kitchens with food coloring I didn't even notice they did this.
Reminds me of a real-life agar.io
: D
agar.io real life
+ALTERNATIVE Gamer Exactly what I was going to say.
+ALTERNATIVE Gamer Don't steal my jokes
Ehehe trololollolo
+StormCrusher94 it's not even a joke. It's a fact
From my perspective as a biologist - the best video so far. You completely clarified a "naturally adapted" misconception that millions of people still possess; that life is somehow different than a combination of chemistry and physics. You clearly explained that life is simply an emergent property of these. I don't think you follow what your PhD indicated anymore, currently your videos are both clear, explanatory and clarify misconceptions. Merging these traits you grant a great contribution to future academics.
One of the most seemingly puzzling questions- namely how life began from lifeless chemical processes- seems to have a really simple answer when demonstrated so beautifully.
Watched first 20 seconds. Theory : It has to do with concentrations of contents just like salt attracts water. Let's say that a colour has negative concentration. It will attract positive concentration to make it neutral. Or it's electrostatic magnetism kinda.
IS THIS IRL AGAR.IO??
:p life is awesome.
I love your work, every time, Derk of Vertiblastium.
Very nice effects those droplets do.
Looks like Agar.io lol
+Adam Pardoe I thought it reminded me of something! Lol.
255 creationists found this video offensive and thumbed it down. XD
LOL. You're so offended by *your own interpretation* of my comment, I'll let you think about it for a little while more.
Great video man, i would like to see more often :D
This is kind of funny to watch, especially with the music. Really good video!
