I cannot get enough of Stentors even though I have tens of thousands of them in my living room!
You have a pond in your living room?
@@sanitysquota937 He has so many samples I swear his home is a microzoo
@@harmonydew6486 yeah I didn't look at the name before I replied. Now, that you've pointed out my mistake it is too late...lol
Awesome!!! Do you have one of those microscopic worms where you cut them in half and they regenerate themselves? I remember reading about them in biology. Planaria(sp)?
The quality of these images is phenomenal! Thanks for giving us a glimpse of this hidden world, James! 😊

Wow......1000X magnification......first time I recall seeing this level of mag power in your videos......can your equipment go beyond this power? What's the max for now.......for the future?
Jan was given a fancy new microscope by the manufacturer. It isn't exactly a sponsorship, because there is no obligation to mention the brand or model. As he learns how to effectively use more features, we will see them in videos.
"Evolution is messy" so true..
it is the first conclusion i had starting my research thesis in evolutionary genetics.
Noam S then can you tell me how a unicellular organism magically “evolved” into a multimillion celled organism in one evolutionary leap? What possible random genetic mutation would change a 1 celled organism into a multimillion celled organism without forming any type of organisms in between? The notion of a eukaryotic bacteria 🦠, through billions of years of random genetic mutations, “evolving” into a Giant Sequoia is the most ridiculous, pathetic, pseudoscientific bullsh!t I have ever heard! There is no theoretical way for this to occur!

This video + dmt is amazing 🤩
Curious what do you feed your Stentor?
Hank's first word "When" was in tune with the music, so I thought he was about to start singing.
Musical Microcosmos when?!
4:38 when you stub your toe on the corner of the table
Wow
in a world shaped by impatient bits and bytes, where that average human attention span is measured in seconds, to those of us who remember when it was 20 minutes, and we watched it shrink to 8 minutes, yes, for those of us who watched Television commercials go from 90 seconds to 20 seconds, we are no longer able to suffer through videos like this: rambling ............
Stentor: is bitten and insides spilled
Stentor: sucks up former insides
They were still using those.
Cat: birthes placenta with kitten
Cat: eats placenta
So I guess the question is... Does it break down the recently outer-d innards like food, or does it just reabsorb them back into itself as if nothing happened?
@@MinecraftRib I think maybe both. It breaks down its reabsorbed innards to its basics and then uses it as raw material to rebuild instead of having to convert sugars into energy to make it themselves
Read title as "What Humans and Senators Have in Common"...
That would be a very short video.
I am the Senate! - sheev Palatine 60 bby
That wouldn’t be much of a video.
Same, gave me a serious chuckle
Same hahaha
the little dude ripping the stentor open was so sick, it's incredible how you manged to find that at just the right time to record it
Highly skilled people that spend a lot of time on a task tend to have more "lucky" coincidences than the rest of us.

That regeneration is cool. It's hard to believe it can survive after losing so much of its insides.
I was glad to see him pull himself together.
little pond inside a greater pond

It's only a flesh wound!
Hey, have you guys found any plastic particles in the pond samples you take? What are the threats of plastic to the microcosmos?
Please like this so he can see it!
We see plastic particles in every one of our samples. That's really upsetting and possible harmful to our precious microbes. Maybe we can make an episode about it in the future!
@@JamsGerms please do. it would be very interesting and informative
Please do this
So I noticed a unique ability of meal moths (that's what we call them in the Midwest USA). Their larvae have the ability to disintegrate plastic to the point at which they can enter it and feed on the grain. I wonder if we could possibly isolate this enzyme/biochemical so that we can eliminate this coming plastic apocalypse.
@@rickbailey7183 a very nice thought, but I'm afraid that there are two problems - first, the larvae do it mainly mechanically (by chewing through) and second, there are tons of different types of plastic, each of which would need separate degradation pathway. Different plastic-dissolving enzymes are being researched all the time, but the issue is much more complicated than that :/
It's almost scary sometimes realizing just how much we don't know about the natural world, and yet nothing could make me happier.
I came back from a travel to find my stove full of water dripping from the ceiling (still fixing the neighbor's leakage). After about 3 weeks of being there, the water was green. I was thinking in every green animalcula we have seen here while I dried and cleaned the stove. I feel like a mass murderer. 😢😭😥
Thats nothing compared to what you crush each day
And, nothing compared to what you kill while breathing every day. We live in a literal sea of life. So, we all are mass murderers of microscopic life.
4:30 Hi, 911? I need to report an attempted murder
That little cilliate was so mean to that stentor! That savage little bite looked so painful!
@@revenevan11 tis but a flesh wound
😂 😂 😂
7:15 humans have non-standard genetic codes too. There's a certain sequence of dna that if present at the start of a protein makes a certain stop codon get reinterpreted as the code for a completely new amino acid, separate from the standard ones - selenocysteine. This mechanism is used to create certain thyroid hormones I believe
O.O
O.O
I've run across selenocysteine in some of the amino acid schemes I use. Usually it's not something to worry about. I thought it was bacterial, or otherwise nonhuman. Intriguing!
I.... does it cause a conformational change of the ribosome or what? How is the ribosome stateful? How could this be?
@@GyroCoder idk
This is one of those channels where I like the video before I hit the play button.
I love this channel. Seriously man, I really love this channel. I watch everyone of your videos and I always will
You guys are doing something really special with this channel.
This video in particular was visually magnificent; even among the other uploads.
The shot of the Stentor being ripped open and all of its insides and organelles spilling out was crazy. It felt violent to watch, almost gorey, even though i probably unknowingly cause untold numbers of eviscerations to similar animals every single day, just by moving around and living my life.
Everyone is aware of the existence of "germs" and whatnot We all know that there are constantly scores of these minute creatures around and within us.
However the baffling and absurd insanity of that reality was lost on me until i saw the vids on this channel.
Watching these has caused a distinct and lasting shift in my perspective.
Like, on the macro end of spacial perception, there is the vast, potentially infinite expanse of outer space, containing god only knows what undiscovered wonders.
But it now seems to me that on the far other end of things, theres a slightly less flashy, less frequently appreciated universe, the universe of the microscopic.
Anyway this became a long and rambling comment, but what im getting at here is that this channel has inspired wonder in me, as well as in a friend who i shared this channel with.
& the long term "butterfly effect' of inspiring scientific and existential wonder in huge numbers of people could really end up being truly massive.
theres no way of knowing. But if nothing else, im very thankful for you guys making these images visible to me and so many others. love you hank green !
Sometimes I like to pause the video and admire the little details. The little folds of the cell wall as it curls up, the slight differences in pigment, the mesmerizing pattern of the stripes, how I can see the organelles through the cell wall, how what I see changes as it swims closer and farther away, it's beautiful.
Thats not cell wall, but pellicule
The part about the (lack of) universality of the genetic code blew my mind.
Stentors are just like us? Well, I'd thought it was weird when I budded off a clone of myself last week, but I guess that's just normal!
Vuvuzelas for tardigrades.
lol :-)
I relate to stentors more than i do other people
I too like to fix myself in one location for long periods of time while sucking in any food that happens to pass by
I love how you upload these just as I'm going to sleep
I read the title while being quite angry and, without any thinking, exclaimed:
"They suck!"
Then I laughed at how correct I was :)
Odd little things. I wonder how they decide whether to be free swimming or anchor down with the grabby bit at the "tail" end? Footage seems to show examples of both behaviors, and sometimes mixed at the same time.
i love how you are "bringing us close" to these individual species, but i think it would be nice to also have something like an overview episode, where you would show scenes like the last in this video with many different creatures, point them out individually and explain how they interact, complement each other or compete for resources and space etc.. (and yes, the "bitten stentor" was literally awesome in this regard, thank you!) Anyhow, keep it up - you already are legend, Hank! :D
I just love those polarized views
One day a microorganism might invent a telescope, so that they may see us too.
a macroscope perhaps
@@AnalyticalReckoner if they are bigger than us then it's micro
Nnnope.
@@jesusjoseph1899 r/whoosh
MIB Orion's belt 😂 exactly right
Dinoflagellates researcher here waiting for a dinoflagellates episode
the more we know the more we realize how little we know.
I like to think of it as realizing how little you know is the sign you are really learning something about our messy complex universe
Every question we answer asks a hundred more.
4:29 it's all fun and games until somebody explodes
I never learned about the other style of base pairs... interesting... and bothersome that I didn't know
I'm surprised no one's come up with the idea of a Stentor plushy, or maybe a stress ball.
That would be the perfect merch for me.
4:38
That was some true gore right there. Almost hard to watch. I'm surprised RUclips hasn't taken this down. That was hardcore. Stentor plays with invincibility mode on.
Hi Microcosmos masters! I'd like to see slow motion footage to understand how the cilia work. And may be are there other thing to show in slowmo. Many thanks for the journey.
That sequence of the stentor being 'bitten' and leaking out is amazing - I don't know if there are prizes for microorganism micro-videography, but if there are, this should win one.
There are
First
Also really good video, I always love these very well done and professional presentations of the micro cosmos.
dogma?
Are researchers seeing any changes associated to micro environment / climate change / loss of habitat?
Do you see (identifiable) micro plastics causing issues? Teflons? Etc
If you did this for like an hour I'd sleep to it
Would it ever be possible to do a livestream? i dont know if thats doable logistically, but if it is, it would be super cool to have a stream every once in a while where we get to watch you guys look through slides and talk about what you see, or whatever else you felt like doing.
just a thought
Have you guys considered filming in 4k now that you've got all the cool new equipment? If there was a channel I'd like to have in 4k, it's this one.
I had a feeling when I saw that video on James's channel with the stentor getting bit I would see it over here! Masterful work as always, ladies and gentlemen
The Microbe is so very small
You cannot make him out at all,
But many sanguine people hope
To see him through a microscope.
His jointed tongue that lies beneath
A hundred curious rows of teeth;
His seven tufted tails with lots
Of lovely pink and purple spots,
On each of which a pattern stands,
Composed of forty separate bands;
His eyebrows of a tender green;
All these have never yet been seen--
But Scientists, who ought to know,
Assure us that they must be so....
Oh! let us never, never doubt
What nobody is sure about!
-- Hilaire Belloc
I heard recently that stentors have the ability to seemingly change their minds. Why are the huge little guys so strange and yet similar
Not only a great video, I also learned something new about a word I only THOUGHT I understood, haha. Puts the idea of "stentorian voices" in a whole new register for me.
It makes me happy that I learn something new with every video, in such a calm way. Thank you once again!
+andrewhuang What's the name of the song playing from the start? It's really good!
They look like tiny sweaters :D
Wow, Hank has developed quite the "meditation video" voice compared to his radio voice on his other shows.
The Universe is such a big place, with seemingly an infinite variety to be found in a drop of water.
I thought this said "senators" and I was like "Ya. Ya I would like to know!"
I mean, we're mammals, they're reptiles, it would be a short video
Can you please do something featuring thiomargarita namibiensis?
You shall do a video on me
Amoeba are studying us with telescopes
Every now and then the algorithm gives me something truly special to watch.
It's easier to see more when you look inward with eyes the size of galaxies than it is to look outward at galaxies with microscopic eyes
So I'm related to all these guys in the video? finally I'm close to someone famous
Hank Green was made for this kind of video. Thank you for such a passionate approach. And always thank you James for the eye-opening and spectacular work.
what is the music when they first mention the stentor?!
As always, stunningly beautiful and informative.
I gasped when that last bit popped on at the end.
I just love these videos! Thank you to all for making these videos possible!
This footage is jaw-dropping. The depth of field you manage to get in these shots is so incredible.
1:25 wow, what a Van Gough painting
Please Hank tell us the Stentor music
These is just so damn fascinating and mesmorizing to watch!
Bought the soundtrack during the P4A can't wait for it to arrive!
How do you determine the species?
*distance trumpet sounds*
the new lighting is fantastic!
That is one squishy boi
I just want to say how amazing these shots are, absolutely breath taking.

This episode is freaking BEAUTIFUL
Can I have half an hour of watching that last section (stentors in blue)............ it's like watching a live larva lamp. I wish you did some ASMR/Relaxation episodes where we just get the amazing music and the microbes.
1 stentor regenerating from a bite wound disliked this video
*Looks through a microscope for the firsr time in history*
"Wait... wtf is shit"
*Bacterium nigga swims on frame*
"YO HOLY SHIT"
Path of least resistance = logical procession=spiritual eternal truths. Good is good, acceptable evil is acceptable, bad is bad. Now and forever in any planet.... ahhhhhh man!
It would be awesome if you could make some videos on how to set up and farm different Protozoan in jags or whatnot.
@Hank: Have you considered doing voice-overs for self-hypnosis audio content? I'm not joking, your voice on this channel has a very soothing and calming quality. I'm not saying that it puts me to sleep, but it quiets my mind in ways not otherwise encountered.
Stentors 🥴🥴🥴 guck me fussing senpai ain’t tryna was a good night 💤🌙 is a great night and fun day and weekend to y’all I appreciate ya man 👨🏿 day is the summer day for y’all and me your summer day weekend 🥵🥵
I'm nOt a CillIAte...
you'Re a ciLLiaTe!!!

What microscope do u use??!!!!?!??! Plz, but i will buy it after a year of saving...😅
Personally, I do relate to attaching myself to a surface and tromboning myself...
In both ways?
Stentor coruleus: literally gets its insides ripped out
Also Stentor coruleus: I'm fine thanks
I wonder if the narrator would be quite so slowly trance-like speaking if the microbes under view were from Europa water droplets....
This dude believes that Darwing created life out of "random molecules". Could anyone show him cartoon about DNA? May be that would activate some of his right brain. My five year old figured it our, there is a hope for this Darwi nian cult member
Imagine waking up in your bed to find a giant human sized microbe saying to you "Hello!" That would be both scary yet an amazing discovery at the same time!
Stentors are difficult to grow? No, dude, no! I am growing stentors and rotifers like crazy in one of my jars. When I have inspected the water samples from that jar I almost did a triple back flip. I saw colonies of these critters.
There are some tricks to breed these, mainly, you have to provide water that is rich with waste feeding bacteria, that is their main food surce.
If you need any more incentive to check out James' Instagram, he just posted a couple videos of baby tardigrades and there are probably more to come so....
Some late coming Stentors use non-universal DNA code? That seems highly significant on the face of it. Did I misunderstand?
I'd argue that the "standard" code isn't the "standard" code, but that it came afterwards. We just use "standard" to describe it because of inherent anthropocentrism.
Can you imagine the gore and horror of the microscopic world? Imagine if that was our world where something just yanked your still living guts out and threw them everywhere. That place is a horror show with body parts everywhere. Thank the heavens that we are in far less dangerous surroundings.
Can you use them to build things? And can they learn like the slime? Lmao give them mitochondria and the ability of photosynthesis.
