      I'll second the request for a screen-size-independent scale bar, since otherwise I'm forced to conclude all the organisms in your lab get ~5x bigger when I move from watching the video on my phone to on my pc.

      Back in my day there was this huge spiraling debacle about answering "what is the driest climate" on a biology test. The answer the school demanded to keep in accordance with texas regulations was a desert. The answer I gave, the correct one with (then recent) sources to back me up on it, was Taundra. Imagine a 7 year old bringing college level biology books to school so he can argue with the principle.
      I love the fact this merry tradition of old teachers getting blown away by new developments is still maintained. As research continues ever onward and information is far more widely available. In the age of information, ignorance is a choice.

      ​@@TheFinktron There are several ways you could tell. For example, you could genetically engineer one hydra to express green florescent protein (GFP) and see if any of the cells in the reformed hydra glow. Or give one of them food containing radioisotopes that would then be anabolized into its cells, making them radio-labeled. If a chimera was successfully produced, you'd expect to see some labeled cells, but a lower proportion than in the un-blended labeled hydra.

      Ripped apart is a bit harsh, we actually dissolve the cell-cell contacts and then gently tap the tissue apart, so the cells don't get damaged :)
      But yes, we can even combine several different polyps this way, who will then form chimeric hydra.
      And as they regrow, they often form several heads and stalks, so they may temporarily be "real" hydra. After a while they will fall apart into different polyps though.

      I think they’re terrible. And I love the content so much I just can’t watch this without it being on mute. Especially when they have the water sound effects added arbitrarily to the footage. I’m not a negative person by nature but I have misophonia so the sound is painful. Even if it wasn’t its arbitrary and while I think it cosmetically seems to “belong” with the imagery It’s just way too much. I love learning about this stuff But I could play instrumental trap music along with the narration myself If I wanted. It would be much better By itself. In the Microcosmos, sound Has a very interesting role. Things don’t hear other things nearby. All sounds indicate giant environmental changes. And they are Interpreted as physical vibrations.
      Artistically maybe this is Pretty but if you don’t like that kind of music you’re screwed. Its a documentary And it doesn’t really belong.
      Then Again ASMR makes me want to tear my head off of my shoulders. My condition basically makes it so sound Feels like it’s touching my bones. I don’t know how else to describe it.

    As others have pointed out, there are other little critters wandering around on the hydra. In fact, most of the JTTMC videos show tiny creatures beyond those actually under discussion. I was wondering if you could perhaps make some videos dedicated to these "Other Little Critters" - using even the same footage and supplemented by extra to focus on those creatures. Would be fascinating to understand the whole picture that we see in the micro cosmos.

Upon further research we learned that the hot spring fed stream was packed full of hydra, and that was what was 'stinging' us.

    so it just occurred to me... in fiction, we have a hard time making aliens that are truly "foreign." indeed, in real study, it's difficult to say what an "alien" species could be like... we have many options to think over but in the end it comes down to not being sure exactly how things would really play out....
    i think micro organisms like this are a great insight into "alien" life... take these hydras, related to multiple full sized animals in our world... they have similarities, but so many differences.... if you were to just as a thought experiment, imagine how a hydra would evolve into an anemone... or a jellyfish... it gives you insight into what was thrown away in that evolution, and the paths that could have been taken. so many micro animals have so many functions that theoretically could work on the macro- but don't exist in our world. their relatives and descendants went a different way... but it fascinates me to think of the what if- what if they had evolved differently? what would that look like?
    in my eyes, that's a window into how alien life could exists lightyears away.

    • @SolariusScorch
      @SolariusScorch 5 лет назад +8

      Yes, it is true. The only problem is, these forms of life are not fit for evolving sapience. If they could, they would have to sacrifice most of these features we feel are "alien". Hydra's amazing abilities stem from the fact that it is very simple, and giving it an intelligent brain would make they aren't simple any more (so no regeneration, needs complex organs and organelles, etc.)
      Of course, unintelligent aliens are also interesting.

From one body to another, but without the soul so I ask myself how is this possible because the soul is attached to the body no damn way one can tranfer the conscious to another synthetic body because the void is hard to escape, very hard until I findout instead of trying to transfer the conscious why not just upgrade the body to an leasser defact thus the hybridation, two in one instead of one in two. I've been studying alot and getting information from the past that I dont even need to do more research because I already have the simplest information so why bother but everyone will think you a shananigan when you bring in information so guess it doesn't matter cause no one gives a F until it too late but then Oorh I never knew.
