I remember learning about Volvox in uni and thinking "woah, that is one weird and beautiful organism". I'm glad that people who aren't biology students get to learn about it as well. And it looks better in this video than it did under my microscope!
Have you ever listened to Hearts of Space? If so, sounds like your working on Stephen Hill’s style of speech for this project. I like it a lot, very soothing and informative. When you get excited it is audible, yet not overwhelming. Thanks for all the amazing hard work! You make such beautiful gifts for the world.
Love this. It's as mysterious as the universe with alien life. If they are intelligent, still they cannot detect us being so massively huge. Would be interested to see the invert effect for the white to become black background like space. The last footage is a beauty!
Quick aside, but if anyone needs quick names for fantasy characters, microorganisms are a great source. I guarantee few people will notice where you crib your names from, either. Unless they have a microbiology degree, of course. In which case you've just given a little Easter Egg for them to pick out.
These videos could easily become a standard viewing in science classrooms globally. The few videos that Journey to the Microcosmos has posted alone has completely changed the way I thought of microbiology altogether. Simply put, incredible.
These people severely limited themselves with Darving religion. These creatures are VERY intelligent and they don't have brain. Humans, in some cases, also live and notmally without brain. Our minds located OUTSIDE visible world
@@citiesinspace You never been introduced to science. You been indoctrinated in Babylonian religion for profane. Babylonians believed that lower classes "unworthy to know about God , unworthy to hear His Name" . I must agree with Babylonians, people who can approach God, who can worship Creator in His Spirit, prefer to believe in absolute nonsense. Your brain can identify roll of toilet paper as intelligent design but upon seeing anything more complex it crashes and sends you a signal "random molecules of nature". Even Aboriginal people and Amazonian tribes have more developed right brain hemisphere than you and your "darwinian" brethren. No wonder you can't understand my previous simple message. You are uncivilized and extremely unsophisticated.
@@vitalygoji It's funny because I am a Computer Scientist, academically and professionally. You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Please, by all means, show me evidence of any God's existence, and your claims will therefore have evidence. Given that no human being can demonstrate empirically, using the scientific method, that any supernatural being exists, what you are saying is pure nonsense. You can use mental gymnastics all you please, it doesn't make your claims true.
Are we massive, highly complex colonies with hyper-specialized cells doing very specific things, which somehow got the awareness as a single being? It is weird, but fascinating to think about, really.
Please sell prints of some of these or include in the P4A! I would love to decorate my walls with art that looks abstract but turns out to be cells. In this ep I particularly liked Synura.
I find it so interesting that on the microscopic scale, you can have all different manners of evolutionary strategy. at our scale everything is multicelular, but at that size you can have something as complex as that volovox or a tardigrade swallowed whole by a single celled organism
What is needed for a colony to be considered multicellular? All multicellular organisms are colonies, but not al colonies are called multicellular organisms. I like it when lines are blurred
In a multicellular organism if you remove one cell or a group of cells from the main body it dies because it can't function separately (like when you cut off your arm) Meanwhile cells in colonies can live independently
I fell in love with Volvox after watching it roll around under the microscope with it's daughter inside, during the intro to botany class' lab work. It's so adorable.
You can eat it. In China it's a delicacy known as fat choy. news.algaeworld.org/2015/02/fat-choy-nostoc-flagelliforme-delicacy-for-chinese-new-year-celebration/ More fun facts, the over collection of Nostoc is causing massive erosion in Mongolia. There is a thriving trade in fake nostoc, the adulterants are truly grosss! Nostoc has been linked to dementia and other neurological diseases. There is no scientific evidence that consuming Nostoc will align your chi, reduce fevers, calm anger or make your hair grow.
@@graphite2786 - That's a very cool reference. Pity that its actual consumption is causing environmental degradation, couldn't they just cultivate the nostoc balls?
@@LuisAldamiz Of course you could but, you know, there are some Chinese that would rather drive a species to extinction. Critically endangered means rare and costly!
@@graphite2786 That's kindof just the unfortunate side effect of industrialization without regulation. Its sad when we unnecessarily destroy our environment.
Every human is a galexy, a universe, an ecosystem, a colony, a commune-- and yet somehow individually aware. We are multitudeanous, yet singular. Fascinating
Thank you. Nice video! But I have one request to you) Can you please make a video where you'll tell your opinion on what so called "vendobionts" (aka "ediacarans") actually were. Which of them was a definitely colonial, which was a probable bacterial symbiont...Your experience likely allow you to make valuable conclusions even considering an extreme enigmatic character of this topic.
I just wanted to say how much I love the voice of our host, Hank Green. Just the perfect cadence and quiet enthusiasm that makes these episodes such a pleasure to enjoy. I could listen to him read the phone book. Good job, Mr. Green!
Looked up nostoc in its macro form and was supprised by how often I've seen those colonies and wondered what they are. Alway assumed they were some kind of fungi. Apparently people even make salad from that stuff.
I want your videos to be longer and have more information. I would not mind at least 15 minutes of footage. OR how about you do like 30 minute videos every week!? I'm a big fan and you shed light on the microcosmos for me but I want more. It is so super interesting and sometimes I am left with more questions at the end of a video! I also enjoy watching the microcosmos footage without any comments. It is mesmerizing. And with some background music you've got yourself a very relaxing but fascinating video.
I think it’s so crazy how we’re basically just an operating system that allows these little nuggets of goo to reproduce and flourish. It’s a symbiotic relationship though. We give them material assets, they give us spiritual freedom.
How does it look like when rotifers or these wonderful colonies get invaded by bacteria or viruses? Looking at these colonies of microorganisms going about their average(?) day, I began to ask whether these small groups of microorganisms had to contend with disease. Does the Journey to the Microcosmos have access to footage of colonies (or individual species) fighting off infection?
I just got to this video late. I always wondered about evolution and how things developed multiple specialized organs., It now makes perfect sense: it started with colonies!
Prokaryotic cells swallow each other and symbiotically colonise, becoming eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells group together into colonies and become multi-cellular organisms. Multi-cellular organisms evolve into humans who then colonise with each other to create civilisation and technology, which then leads to the internet being invented and this video being made.
It's so knowledge but also so soothing. Like sir David Attenborough or something. It's not soothing just because of hanks voice, it's also because the creatures are fascinating and the narration style is also very good.
Neither the bacteria in your gut/skin, nor the cells in your body are classified scientifically as a colony. Although we do use the term colonized, to refer to a stable population of flora.
This one was easily 11/10, great music, writing, and visuals! I also learned something consequential about where I came from as a member of a multicellular species that I did not expect to learn. Thank you for creating this, I think this channel has us questioning ourselves about how we define concepts like eating or even birth!
Another amazing episode! It's so great to see this carrying on into new topics and dimensions, isn't it wonderful just how much there is to learn from a single drop of water?
When micro organisms are on a microscope slide, is it a 2d word for them, or are they so small that there is still the potential for vertical movement?
God this is so beautiful and perfect in every way you guys seriously I f*cking love your channel I'm on the verge of happy tears with my mind boggled wide open with inspiration.
SEVENTH FLASH Look! With little difficulty you can see the seals of the Single, Eternally Besought One on the page of the earth, so raise your head, open your eyes, and look too at the great book of the universe. You will see that on it as a whole a stamp of unity is read out which is as clear as it is big. For like the components of a factory or members of a palace or town, these beings support one another, stretch out their hands to assist one another, and answer the needs and requests of one another, saying: "Here I am, at your service!" Assisting one another, they work together in order. Joining efforts, they serve animate beings. Co-operating and turned a single goal, they obey an All-Wise Disposer. They conform to a rule of mutual assistance which is in force from the sun and moon, night and day, and winter and summer, to plants coming to the assistance of hungry and needy animals, and animals hastening to the assistance of weak, noble men, and even nutritious substances flying to assist delicate, weak infants and fruits, and particles of food passing to the assistance of the cells of the body. They show to anyone who is not altogether blind that they are acting through the strength of a single, most generous Nurturer, and at the command of a single most wise Disposer. Thus, on the one hand this mutual support and assistance, this answering one another's needs, this mutual embracing, this subjugation, this order, testify decisively that beings are administered and organized by a single Disposer and are being impelled and directed by a single Nurturer. And on the other hand, this perfect grace within the universal wisdom to be seen plainly in the art of things; and the all-embracing mercy which shines within the providence; and the sustenance spread over that mercy and scattered so as to answer the needs of all living beings needy for sustenance; -these form a stamp of Divine unity so brilliant that anyone whose mind is not altogether extinguished will understand it and anyone who is not altogether blind will see it. Yes, a veil of wisdom demonstrating intention, consciousness, and will, has covered the whole universe, and upon that veil of wisdom has been spread a veil of grace and favour exhibiting beneficence, adornment, embellishment, and benevolence; and over that adorned veil of favour a garment of mercy displaying flashes of making known and loved, of bestowal and the granting of gifts has enveloped the universe; and spread over that illuminated veil of universal mercy is a table of general provisions showing kindness and bestowal and benevolence and perfect compassion and fine nurturing and dominical favour. Yes, all beings from particles to suns, whether individuals or species, or large or small, have been clothed in a magnificent shirt of wisdom embroidered with fruits and aims, benefits and purposes. And over the wisdom-displaying shirt, a garment of favour embroidered with flowers of grace and beneficence has been cut out in accordance with the stature of things; and over that ornamented garment of favour, a general table of sustenance has been set up, lit up with flashes of love, bestowal, affection, and the granting of gifts, to which the decorations of mercy have been attached, and which, together with bestowing those illuminated and jewel-encrusted decorations, is sufficient for all the groups of living beings on the face of the earth, and meets all their needs. Thus, this matter points to an All-Glorious Provider Who is All-Wise, All-Generous, and All-Compassionate, and shows Him as clearly as the sun. Is that so? Is everything in need of sustenance? Yes, like individual beings are in need of sustenance and all the necessities to continue their lives, we see that all the beings in the world, and especially living beings, whether universal or particular, wholes or parts, have many desires and needs, material and otherwise, for their existence, their lives, and the continuation of their lives. But their wants and needs are for such things that their hands cannot reach the least of them and their power is insufficient for the smallest of them. Yet, we see that all their wishes and material and immaterial sustenance is given to them From where he could not imagine, {[*]: Qur'an, 65:3.} from unhoped for places, with perfect order, at the appropriate time, in a suitable fashion, with perfect wisdom. And so, does this want and need of creatures and this manner of unseen help and assistance not show an All-Wise and Glorious Nurturer, an All-Compassionate Beauteous Disposer?

This show deserves being watched on as big a screen as possible. 1:41 That long green thing is you Hank. 😉 8:00 Another example of how when you look very very carefully the sharp lines begin to look blurry. What amazes me is the Buddha saw this very same phenomenon through intensive meditation.
