      That's a pretty unavoidable conclusion given our universe. It came from something much bigger that you can call God or Infinity. It's just that people resist agreeing on the specifics. Ernst Nagel calls this the Cosmic Authority Problem. We don't like the idea of being watched. So it's more comfortable to call it Multiverse and pretend it can't see us anymore.

      Ive got a concave slide that’s meant to be used with a cover slip. The dip is tiny and you can barely feel there’s a dip at all but it does the job. Not too much movement up and down, but it doesn’t crush larger specimens.

    • @evilsharkey8954
      @evilsharkey8954 4 года назад +1

      0612rex, the clay method is for people using cheap, flat slides. Concave slides don’t need it because the bigger critters can hang out in the middle. I didn’t know there were shallow ones, though. Most of the ones I’ve seen have a pretty deep well.

    • @0612rex
      @0612rex 4 года назад

      Evil Sharkey they’re so shallow it’s difficult to tell what side is concaved just by looking. I’ve seen the deep ones made with plastic but the ones I’ve got are high quality glass. I think I got them for £10 for 10 slides.

    this is beautiful, it's amazing how such a small creature can be so similar to the macroscopic creatures... and in some degree to us...

    I think I heard the first tardigrade baby coming out of its shell yell ‘FIRST’ in true RUclips fashion.
    I guess the chances of me being a total geek, just skyrocketed. ;-)

    I suggest videos on the human microbiome and on biofilms. Great channel! It really fills a gap on RUclips. Also, I love listening to Hank's "bedtime" voice. So much joy and wonder.

    I was just watching the "how do microorganisms poop" video and Hank said to send questions. First thing that popped into my head was "how do tardigrades mate?".... scrolled down, and this was the next video in my feed. I f-ing love these channels.
