Couple of questions: 1. Has there been any signs of evolution in any of the microscopic species since we've been able to observe them? 2. Are simplier creatures as likely to evolve as more complicated creatures? 3. Are there any way to view microscopic life in 3 dimensions or any good c.g.i. to give us a better idea of what they're like if we existed on their scales? Enjoy the videos. Its so easy to get caught up in our human lives. Video's like this help to remind there's a much bigger picture outside of our lives!

*When I was but a budding bud at Microbe High. My fellow ciliates and I would always play* _The Flinching Game._ *It consisted of us anchoring ourselves eyespots deep into swirling particulates. First to succumb to the harsh vortices, with a reflex of the spontaneous body contraction, owed the rest of us mitochondria bites by the end of the school cycle! A classic pastime I must say!*

I am slightly frightened of what might survive on the stovetop. On the one hand, food residue constantly rains on it. On the other hand, it regularly gets blasted by fire, and kitchen-grade chemical cleaners.

It took me a minute to recognize how the rapid contractions could serve as a 'first aide kit'; but then I realized that if a cell rapidly contracts, it reduces it's surface area, and closes the gap in the membrane at the site where calcium ions are entering. Most interesting!

I love Hank's slower, lower tone on this channel.

These videos are the best ten minutes of my week sometimes. Also, I laughed aloud at the bit about "if you have footage of a Spirostomum getting pooped on, you have to use it"

I can't get over the fact how beautiful these shots are! Thanks!

The microscopic world is so unbelievably fascinating it looks so alien yet I know it is actually terrestrial, its absolutely amazing! Life is a strange yet marvelous thing that we are part of.

I remember seeing this channel a while ago, when there were less than 10 videos and under 50K subs. The content was amazing, so amazing that I told myself that I was going to leave this channel be until there are more videos I can watch later on. I actually almost forgot about this until KZread recommended me a video from it over a year later. Still amazes me

Read this as "Finchwing Saves Lives" and I was like, "Good for her, glad she's achieving so much in and outside of the animation industry!"

I'm just here for the cili jokes.

Wow, the vorticella contraction speed is insanely fast!

I flinch all the time. Now I feel like it's a superpower 🤣💚 love your show!

You need to do a video on the 'jumping" ciliates like Halteria, Mesodinium and Uronychia.

Thank you for making one of the most informative, and one of the best-produced, channels on KZread.

Spirostomum: I know, I'll get round to the BACK of the flatworm! That'll-

A video that really deserves to be watched and admired

Them lil slinky cups are cute :P

I SO look forward to these videos. Always fascinating. The photography is amazing. Thanks to you all. Keep um coming.

the clarity and image quality is stunning - thanks for another great video 👍

Love this channel! Always so interesting 😊💕

These things are just fascinating! It’s a whole world existing right along side us which we never see and most never even think about! Cheers

One of the best episodes I have seen. Extremely intriguing

Thank you for these videos!

This channel is just endlessly inspiring

Nooo dont poke them with a glass needle they're just vibing!

Always an amazing journey on this channel

Awesome video yet again!!! One of my favourite channels.

I never thought i would see a pooping Microbe 😂😂 love your Channel ❤😂

Best lullabies. Thanks.

Beyond amazing.. I bet these structures are like the cosmic beings out in space. I wonder when we'll discover them?

Hey bought your book can't wait to see it.

2:48...... I'm not going to lie, that is some amazing crap right there

Outstanding.

That Micro knod to AMC in the sponsor intro was amazing. Love this channel

I binge listen to you voice idk why

2:46 LOLZ a Spirostomum gotten pooped on XD

It's Coily! Coily the Spring Spirostomum!

When I first read the title, I thought it would be about microbiologists accidentally bumping or otherwise moving the slide and inadvertently saving microbe lives.

Awesome work! I too was thinking how calcium ions have been used by life to the point of even the action of understanding language at all depends on it... Best wishes for the book!

Wow! An interesting video with a striong and deeply philosophical ending. Ace! :)

Calcium ions, action potentials. The healing mechanism being the origin of all action potential. That's profound!!! Assuming its correct

Thanks a lot

Fascinating video!!

"Spasmoneme" is my new favorite weird word for the month.

Fantastisc pictures! Really amazing.

vorticella like reflexes

I think there's no competition, hank is the best narrator in the entire micro-cosmos.

very interesting! I was always wondered, how they retract that fast. now I know, thanks :)

Awesome video. You guys inspired me to buy a microscope.

I like this video a lot more than the last several. It felt just like when you started. Maybe its the focus on the topic.

I was wondering if it was Calcium!!! So glad you went into depth about it. Sending this to my parents because I'm always bugging them about Calcium signaling evolution across the tree of life lol

0:13 this music is my favorite

Is time the same at the microscopic level? The idea of speed at such a small size is hard to comprehend

Love!

Any info on that Siberian 24,000 year old bdelloid rotifer or even current ones? Receiving James's book tomorrow. Sooo excited! Also looking to get the microcosmos microscope filters. I hope you make them available. Thanks for your efforts.

The flat warm looks like a moray eel feeding

5:16 is this where people got the ideas for those finger traps youd see at kids toy stores?

Love One Another

Long range snack stoppers.

James's new book is an absolutely remarkable thing. Oh, I see the source of confusion: I was merely describing the book, but my attempt to describe it accidentally referenced a different book. Trying to clarify ambiguous syntax is a beautifully foolish endeavour. See? It happened again!

So, a TL;DR is that contractions amongst Vorticella and Spirostomum are akin to neurons firing.

top content here

Love the biological details! This information is perfect for simulations.

aaaand now I want slow motion micro cosmos footage. please

I wonder if there's an engineering application for Vorticella's stalk contraction. Maybe a way to keep sensory equipment designed for volatile material from being destroyed?

"Stoves have a microcosmos-" WHAT?!

... I'm not registering that all these things are real and I feel like I should be freaked out, but my brain is like 'Nah, man. That's just CGI"

So what is the microcosmos like in a stoven?!!

Hank: imagine shrinking your hand into your arm Me: trying to make my hand shrink into my arm

Absolutely loved the shot of Spirostomum getting pooped on; I have a MSc in marine science in protistan pooping ecology so I'm extra-entertained. More poop videos! Poop is the base of the aquatic environment! :p

Vorticella look like they should be making Dio time stop noises

Legit didn't know show was hosted by Hank Green!

Woa! 😮

it would be great if the team could get some of these super fast microcosmos movements on ultra high-speed camera!, might be boring, but also might be super interesting!

Yo they made the mario chain chomp in irl

You guys should hookup with the The Slow MO Guys

They are moving at random. Doing the drunkard's walk. I guess they're just like us after a heavy night out.

I thought the video was lagging because I just can't it believe it at first

4:17 holy crap, this thing is so long it doesn't even fit into the frame and yet it contracts within a single frame of the video! You should've done a collab with the Slo-Mo Guys here!

Spasmoneme. Now there is a great word. :)

An elite fighter pilot never experiences more than 9gs. But the bad ones probably experience a lot more than that

5:15 They do, but only once

Jeez, literally everyone is using the term "Action Potential" as of late (june 8th 21). Very cool.

Hey! I just saw news about the invention of the quantum microscope! How long before you guy's make a videos with it?? xD I kid haha, anyway I'd like to hear more about it! Maybe in the news sci KZread channel. All I saw in the article I was reading are quotes about how it'll change things without really explaining how entanglement just changed everything.

@Journey to the Microcosmos, can you share the citation of the documentation on "predator vomiting up Spirostomum"? I am actually a biophysicist working on Spirostomum at Stanford. I know that they have toxins but I have not saw such a vivid description. Many thanks!

1 mile per second or around mach 5

Okay we're all waiting on the stove episode now

5:13 to be fair, the human body can also withstand higher accelerations if they happen for a very short amount of time. It's only when the acceleration is sustained that just a couple of g's will kill us.

I really enjoy the videos. A small variety of voice actors could be nice.

wait the music is by andrew huang, that’s cool

Ten people reached for the like button and flinched.

I congratulate you for being respectful of the organisms you present to us. I saw a headline that presented something about results of shooting those cute water bears and whether they survived. My question is why do that? That's just cruel.

@@rosesacks7430 I see your point but the origin of life on earth is relevant for finding out where life could exist outside it. If life can be transported by meteorites to planets, it makes finding extraterrestial life more likely. Imagine how interesting it would be if all life on earth would be related to life on some other planet. Also, perhaps extraterrestial invasive species could be possible. More conventional research about ecosystems is important but I think there’s room for many kinds of research.

yo if you think ab it we all started as a single cell that multiplied.

Been trying to get some info on this DIC process. Of course these are GREAT videos but my question is this; if one has a DIC ready scope, is there much pre or post work done to get these kind of videos/images or do you get your specimen and go at it?
