To me, thats "normal". Then I watch microcosmos videos and realize how HUGE and and complex organisms can be, struggling to grasp that they are 100x or 1000x bigger than my "normal" field of view. Thanks Hank, science and scale are weird and mindblowing.
That is fascinating, to me. wow. I was aware of your field and its scale, but for whatever reason never compared the two, probably because I am not involved with one or the other regularly, but that is truly mind blowing to fathom.

Those few doctors who pioneered soap use was Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian doctor who showed that washing your hands with soap reduced the rate of fatal infection. He was ostracized for his realization, for it forced doctors of the time to come to terms with their role in the death of many of their patients, having not washed their hands before many fatal surgeries.
Ah I think you mean when it came to Western medicinal practice. Gotcha. Respect to Dr Semmelweis because that was massive. Up there with the discovery of penicillin. It just has to be.

Great video. Many people need it see this so I will be spreading it. One thing not mentioned that I wish was, or maybe I just missed it, is that Soap: typically, is both Polar and Nonpolar; that is how it dissolves fats and lipids and yet dissolves, itself, in water to be washed away, along with said dissolved and/or surrounded fats and lipids.
Thank you for making this. Honestly, it amazes me that people rationalize their behaviour of NOT taking the time to wash their hands... literally can save thousands and millions of people if you take THE TIME to wash your hands. This was beautiful to watch. The imagery, stunning. The information, flawless. ;)

I _still wash my hands regularly_ and always rinse them when I go to the loo for example. I also shower every other day (and use soap) so clean my hands then too.

Best of fortunes to you, in getting back to a safer way of life. If you can come up with a buck and change, you can get a couple of bars of basic soap at Dollar General in their $1 general goods aisle, or Dollar Tree in the Health-and-Beauty aisle. If you have to resort to bar soap instead of liquid hand soap, you can pat the bar dry with TP or paper towel after using, and keep in old chips bag or such.
Actually, I wouldn't be so worried, as overuse of soap, as now perpetrated by the media, WILL damage your skin and literally make it break (making it more susceptible to infection no doubt). So maybe instead of soap, we could use some common sense.

Beautifully narrated! 😊 Love the kitties' names! We used to have an aquarium with two tiny puffer fish named Ron and Hermione, two small cichlids named Harry and Ginny and a comparatively huge catfish named hagrid, who used to swim against the decor in his haste to reach food, toppling the decor in his way. I rather miss them.
For as long as I can remember growing up My dad taught me to wash my hands regularly with soap. He wasn't a germ nut , just didn't want to get sick after handing anamal and before eating.
Thank you for this episode. As a physical scientist, I don't have a deep understanding of the very complex world of viruses and single cells. You have good analogies to help me "see" the viruses that your equipment can't quite resolve. And this video also explains well the action of soap. But the microcosmos is very complex. Although soap acts on many single cells, I struggle to understand how some cells are not destroyed by soap. Rather, some cells are able to use the chemical energy in soap as food. I learned a lot in your segment. Keep up the good work.
They did show some video of blood cells. However the immune system is so ridiculously complex that it'd almost be impossible for this channel to explain it, and many parts of it are so small that you need an Electron Scanning Microscope to see it.
Hi Hank and microcosmos team. Just wanted you to know that these videos have been helping me get through a really tough bout of depression. My life isnt really all that great right now, but seeing things from a micro perspective has been really helpful in keeping my mind from driving me off the wall. I'm really grateful and happy I found your channel. Keep it up and thank you. I'm not sure I'd still be here if it weren't for you.
Loved the video, I always find it relaxing and very interesting to watch these videos. I'll try to remember the information given, but I will always remember how it made me feel. I'm sincerely thankful for being able to watch this. Even when I feel bad
I saw another video of yours and always wondered how life can be defined in a way that I can understand. The last video I saw talked about a dying cell and how we define life and death. I never would have thought that life was a bunch of chemicals working together to draw in energy and not reach equilibrium. I'm fascinated and very happy to have learned this. Now I know death is not just a mindset, and neither is life. What a beautiful world we live in!
@@hissingfaunaa a tested and proven indication of how funny the joke was is when you feel the need to have it explained. 😄 But tbh I got it, and it made me chuckle for a sec (on the inside). Have a good one, man!
All information I have been fortunate to get a better understanding of over my past few years of higher education. As well, this was so exquisitely structured to both educate and tell a story. As always, these videos are so well done!
I checked out that book from the library last year! It's really good; definitely recommend it. Super interesting material, and the author is a fantastic writer who makes the story engaging. He goes out of his way to avoid much technicality, so it's not as intimidating as it might seem.
The start of the description of the size of viruses at 1:50 is the first time I've gotten an actual description I can Rao my head around. Like we all know they're way smaller than most microorganisms, but that helped me kind of "visualize" it for the first time in the context of everything else.
Such a well put together and informative video. I think we would all be greatful for some more videos with this combination of microbiology and how it links with the other sciences
Handwashing was introduced, with screams of outrage from the doctors of the time as it suggested they weren't perfect, (the early version of today's "I am God" syndrome that many current doctors espouse), primarily because of the death rate of babies and mothers during and after delivery. A surgeon would operate on a disease-ridden patient (such as removing a foot due to gangrene) and then go put his hands into a woman's vagina to pull out a baby. Dozens of babies could be delivered before a doctor cleaned up which basically meant wiping their hands down with a towel that was used over and over again during a day. It was totally true that it took 30-40 years after the idea of handwashing was suggested for it to become widespread.
When I found the Crash Course series and SciShow years ago, Hank was always yelling information at me. I was excited when you guys started this channel and it's become one of my favorites... and Hank has a great ASMR voice 👍
I do love the videos as it handles me exploring this viewing at home and it is faster and easier than diy. Of course that may be an option in future but the point is evolution. I believe when talking about it we must ensure we correctly state what nature is and isnt doing correctly because the subtle difference confuses the teaching of evolution and how it actually works. When discussing the virus goals it may indicate that there is actually a goal when in reality there is not. The same too with the paramecium housing the green chlorella and what they get out of the relationship. The reality is they do not get anything out of it. The programming and forces of nature determine that the surviving chlorella are more abundant within the paramecium because they are protected by a wall from viruses. As a result they reproduce more successfully there. There is no intent. This is a subtle but extremely critical statement with evolution. Not stating intent and showing why the mechanisms exist is critical in passing on what evolution actually is. Some people may state this is an over critical statement but i see the confusion very often and it's consequences are significant in how we assemble our view of day to day life.

Dozens of babies could be delivered before a doctor cleaned up which basically meant wiping their hands down with a towel that was used over and over again during a day. It was totally true that it took 30-40 years after the idea of handwashing was suggested for it to become widespread.
The background sounds at around 0:25 sound like the intro to Time To Pretend by MGMT
True!
Another great video, thank you Journey to the Microcosmos!
Mama took them to the doctor and the doctor said!
"No more Paramecium Bursaria jumping on the bed!"
After a cup of coffee this was the first thing I saw after waking up - a very nice way to have a beautiful morning 😙
When you think about it, its kinda crazy how something as insanely small as viruses can take down the strongest human being or animal.
Aren't you supposed to be dead
Groop effort... and rapid population growth
Imagine you get bitten by a flea, and then your internal organs start producing endless amounts of fleas until your body explodes
First episode about viruses.. finally
Thank you Beckett, your days of inspecting the vampiric curse seems to have taken an interesting, but agreeable turn.
This is going to be goooood!
Ok how do you make soap bubbles so amazingly beautiful???
6:50 That is wall art I would print on a large scale, frame and put on my wall...
it would be interesting to hear your take on the "Exosome vs Virus" Theory
When I found the Crash Course series and SciShow years ago, Hank was always yelling information at me. I was excited when you guys started this channel and it's become one of my favorites... and Hank has a great ASMR voice 👍
3:40 what is that thing at the bottom right??? It looks like a super tiny fish 😂
Pretty sure it's a rotifer. It's very hard to see the corona but the trophi (jaws) are very distinctive.
Mate, I could listen to your voice all day. Educational as well as aesthetically pleasing!
Those cats are so cute! Also the Harry Potter reference is appreciated
Probably my favorite characters in the whole series, too!
These videos are so relaxing yet very informative, maybe the best way to learn.
5:39
Chlorella -> Humanity
Attack on Titan synopsis complete
Great footage and i loved learning about how these gross little buggers work
I've been watching Journey to the Microcosmos for a while. I liked their videos. That is why I decided to create my own sci-fi/futurist Channel. 👍🙂
Yea, dont, but also, what is it called
this channel is really good I can't stop watching it!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe James named his kittens the two most canine names in the entirety of Harry Potter.
Kudos to RUclips for putting this in people’s recommendations during a pandemic!
I do love the videos as it handles me exploring this viewing at home and it is faster and easier than diy. Of course that may be an option in future but the point is evolution. I believe when talking about it we must ensure we correctly state what nature is and isnt doing correctly because the subtle difference confuses the teaching of evolution and how it actually works. When discussing the virus goals it may indicate that there is actually a goal when in reality there is not. The same too with the paramecium housing the green chlorella and what they get out of the relationship. The reality is they do not get anything out of it. The programming and forces of nature determine that the surviving chlorella are more abundant within the paramecium because they are protected by a wall from viruses. As a result they reproduce more successfully there. There is no intent. This is a subtle but extremely critical statement with evolution. Not stating intent and showing why the mechanisms exist is critical in passing on what evolution actually is. Some people may state this is an over critical statement but i see the confusion very often and it's consequences are significant in how we assemble our view of day to day life.
The most relaxing and informative channel in the macrocosmos.
Hank: "Nothing is so large we cannot seek to confront it"
Thermodynamics: "hold my beer"
Describe Gravity and Quantify it.
We can "seek" to confront
I like the return to chiller music- and thanks for this lovely calmness in these chaotic times
Does Hank narrate anything on Audible in his Microcosmos voice...?
Aww so cute with the kitties. Moony & Padfoot with James. HP fans too makes this channel more magical 🔬⚡
Soap also keeps hobos away. Soap is great.
All these microbes with which we have mostly lived alongside without, until recently, having any idea.
last time i was this early the mitochondria wasn't the powerhouse of the cell...
*Another microscopically magical episode!*
18 seconds and there is already english subtitles
The interpreters they employ sure type fast.
I'd like to see a video on airborne microscopic life, such as things living on particles of dust. I'm in love with this channel, and I still try to do my best with my 40x microscope.
Soap of the evening, beautiful Soap?
There's a lot of great youtube content creators out there... but this channel is high among my favorites
0:30 - Is it just me, or are those kind of beautiful… and also… kind of… tasty? 🤔
mmm jelly beans
Forbidden candy
That transition from 2:25 has got to be the smoothest camera work I have ever seen
7:46 looks like a rooster
Love your work, Hank.
Get to hear your voice on audible? 🤔
Think I'll do this.
I mean technically yes. He reads a small portion of his first book.
I can't get over the names of your cats!!! I love Sirius and Lupin so so much
Highlight of the video for a potterhead: Sirius and Lupin
this is so therapeutic while I'm studying neuro, molecular, cell, genetic bio
Those cats have dog names.
No, one's a flower, the other is a star.
This channel is incredible.
