Yes! It gives time to just linger in the thoughts just a little bit longer. Its really considerate.

"The knowableness of the universe." Just this phrase brings tears to my eyes.

Fantastic video And may I say that while I myself clearly still have the maturity levels of a ten year old and could NOT stop giggling at various points, your delivery was perfect, calm, smooth - just tossing out the necessary terms without turning a metaphorical hair. Also, I know how to pronounce "coitus" out loud so thank you for that too. Immature jokes aside, the photography here is once again blowing my mind. Right about at 3:40 I was just gob-smacked by the way you captured the dimensionality of the Ophryoglena, how you made it possible to really SEE the roundness of it. No longer just a flat shape on an illustration plate, not just a pencil sketch in a lab journal, but a BODY. It feels somehow more real, almost tangible, in a way that may not be "special" to some folks but for me... magical. Really. Thank you so much for continuing to take us on this journey!

the best spoken mini novella so far. also more new words than i have ever heard without listening to a different language. thankyou

This channel is now my new favourite channel on all of youtube. I just cant get enough of these videos, and Ive watched every new video released since the channels inception. The music, the visuals, the calm narration of Hanks voice. All of it is such a gem to be able to witness.

I feel so awkward watching this and I think that speaks to how well this channel humanizes tiny creatures

Snap! I just ran a conjugation experiment in the lab this weekend. I assure you that it was much less exciting than this video.

Thank you for this information. It seems that science will always find something new about even the single celled organisms.

I remember learning about conjugation back in school, I've only now found a detailed explanation for it that keeps me awake :-)

Sexual reproduction, definitely comes in many different forms, when in practice.

After conjugation the DNA in the nucleus is changed, but the cell and it's structure was produced using its old DNA. It's like a chimera.

okay but why did i cry

🎶 Bring your cilia close to mine 🎶

I didn't know that such a way of reproduction exist and I'm so very amazed. I am barely able to find the right words to describe my feelings. It's so interesting and yet so exciting. The microcosmos shows the real perfection of life. I wish I'd have a microscope to look for these wonderful creatures by myself.

love the stunning visuals on this channel. microscopy is one of my special interests along with mycology, it would be amazing to see a video about more types of mushrooms and their spores, if you guys don't have one in the works already that is. I would actually go mental

How is it that Hank makes everything so fascinating ?!

this is just one if my favorite channels. Ive watched every single video...

Just discovered this channel. Incredible content, thank you for the free education

these cells really do be chilling post coitus

This was very helpful for my Zoology module. Actually a lot of your videos are, thank you!

Is this different than bacterial conjugation since bacteria just share plasmids during conjugation correct? This was so fascinating.

Conjugation, when a parent and another parent come together to become a child and their twin.

Me scrolling through KZread recommendations innocently... This video: BECOME YOUR OWN BABY THROUGH CONJUGATION

i am laughing when the man said that you don't need to find a mate if you can duplicate yourself! :'D

9:04 I mean, did they ever really 'see' each other in the first place? I know he wasn't being literal :D

Great video

“Hey, I want your nucleus.” “I want YOUR nucleus!” “Lets do it then!”

Who's my little baby? Whooo's my little baby? I'm my little baby!

sick beat!

Awww that was so romantic!!

"So while conjugation may be advantageous to the species, it doesn't always work out so well for the individual." My life contains proof that this applies to other methods of reproduction as well.

Was sure this was a physics vid from the thumbnail text for a second there...

Every time this comes up in my recommendations, I have to remember that it's not a how-to video.

fascinated!

Noiiiiiiice!

Seems ideal TBH That sounds amazing

Did you perhaps accidentally tell youtube not to suggest this channel? I have done that before.

Quizá nunca mas vuelvan a verse pero, ellos saben y disfrutaron de ese momento y en este caso en particular esto perdurara por mucho mucho tiempo, quizá volviéndose mas inmortales que muchos de los que miramos y comentamos en este video.

So they really are just dancing. The fusion dance, still counts.

I’m convinced this is what the aliens want to do with us in order to evolve us and themselves

2:50 try finding your mouse in this lol i got the "reverse from the background" type

Is it possible to have an organism that conjugates but does not subsequently divide by mitosis? Of course this could not increase the number of organisms (and therefore this trait couldn't be selected for in a normal way) but could an organism exist in perpetuity exclusively via conjugation, or perhaps for many "generations" before undergoing mitosis?

I wonder if we can use this to reduce or reverse aging....

dude you forgot to say "thank you for coming" the microbes too

But how do they get their micronucleus back after conjugation? The zygotic nucleus serves as the new macronucleus but there is no micronucleus, right?

That’s neat.

Chemical jealousy!

Of course these cells can conjugate! If they couldn't, they'd talk roughly like this, "Of course cell to conjugate! Is not, talk like this."

Oh noes those poor Hypotrich ciliates thats hilarious and sad its hard not to feel bad for them.

I even swiped left on myself

Love One Another

That's a great album, but what is the name of the "Microbe Bongos" beat you sometimes play? It's not in this episode, but it's my favorite.

"What sets the mood?" I thought that was why you were pushing the CD at the beginning of the video....

There are tiny organisms on us at any given point, reproducing in manners similar/different to what these microbes are doing. I’m going to have a microscope soon, and will be posting my findings on how “clean” your tap water is. Bonus: YOUR bottled water.

If this can be imagined on the multicellular scale, you have an alien species for your sci-fi franchise of choice. Two beings I guess would "melt" into a pile of goo, exchange their nuclei and reform as two new beings. Would they have the same memories as before, a mix of both, or be effectively formatted? i don't think it was ever specified how the Changelings from Deep Space 9 reproduced but maybe this is how :-)

Imagine if your sex organs were also your brain. Wait, that's already an idiom. Hmm...

I'd have thought "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye more appropriate for this video.

I wanna be like these little critters. Conjugation sounds fun.
