Bioengineering undergraduate student here: wow this was great! A lot of what he’s talking about is definitely stuff that comes up in our classes, especially as areas for potential research. It’s not my first time hearing any of that info. (except the Chinese room and Alcubierre drive) though I’ve not heard it applied to the Thing ;). While I absolutely don’t have the experience or expertise to say that the biology had no holes or could work as described, nothing stood out to me as completely implausible (admittedly, he was pretty broad strokes about the exact mechanisms). Awesome seeing stuff I’ve learned about applied in such a cool way! This definitely took a lot of research, especially if he’s not coming from a biology background. Any researchers or professionals around with insight into the plausibility of the science of this?

@Luuk Ciere Just a student here. This is probably a stretch, but The Thing could have a system to work backwards from proteins to synthesize DNA. Once it took a sample of human DNA and "understood" which codons related to which amino acids it could analyze an amino acid sequence in a blood cell protein, create a sequence of codons that match, and finally construct a piece of DNA that matches those codons.

I think you have a great explanation of The Thing but I object to one idea: I don't think a single cell or small number of cells could assimilate a person. If assimilation was that easy The Thing would NEVER attack people openly and violently. There would simply be no reason to do this as it could just cough on people or lick its palms and shake hands, ect... Instead we see that when it assimilates somebody it violently attacks them and punctures their body, flooding them with its own cells. So I suspect that Thing cells are vulnerable when trying to assimilate an foreign cell and can and will be destroyed by the native immune system. Hence, the creature needs to flood the organism with a multitude of its own cells to overwhelm its pray and break it down.

Hm. You know, I really do have to wonder how.. intelligent, the “thing” as an organism is, since *depending* on the situation, i wonder if there’s a chance that there could be some sort of symbiosis with it. Like, is it still some of the same.. human in there, with the thing? Is it ALL the thing in there with none of the humanity left? Because if there’s still a human in there, even partly, it honestly sounds like maybe there could be some sort of peace worked out between this alien race and ourselves. A win/win scenario for both the continuation of the thing’s intelligence and life, and a win for humans becoming genetically more powerful and Intelligent, given that you’re literally putting two heads into one. That’s probably just wishful thoughts but idk I’m just speculating.

Ship of theseus. Why give an organism any say? It is comforting to think of peace, but in nature, the simplest solution is domination if possible. The thing finds success in taking resources by force? It survives, just like any predator. Humans may or may not pose a significant new challenge. Besides that, the feeling of violation and having a world you have always known fall apart, as you do, into literal pieces, would be a traumatic experience for anyone.

Just one 'thing' I would like to point out, the Thing doesn't want to assimilate/commune with the entire population of bipedal anxiety monkeys. It wants to leave the planet ASAP. Both movies show that the Thing priority is to commandeer a spacecraft and getting the hell out of dodge. Since it has the knowledge of a far more advanced civilization, after the first human assimilation, it probably thinks it is pointless to stay here, which is probably why it crashes the helicopter, it doesn't want to go so far from an already built spacecraft in possible working condition. I would also guess that it just wants to assimilate more scientists just to have more mass to have more hands, or energy reserves, to man the spacecraft efficiently. But 'things' go south when the bipedal anxiety monkeys shows up with a flamethrower, which is why it goes as a 'movie monster', trying to assimilate in secret, to avoid losing even more energy/mass in such desolate place.

The Thing is by far my favorite Movie Monster so to see you go so in depth with the concept of it is so great for me. I love it, especially your command and conquer analogy which really clears up why such a detructively powerful being routinely retreats when faced with open combat. It knows that disappearing and reinfiltrating is much more effective for dominating an entire planet than open conflict would be, which would leave it with diminished resources once the dust settles as it would have been forced to destroy much of the things it could utilize to propagate itself on a new planet. There's a reason why when it screams in the John Carpenter version we've dubbed it "the scream of a thousand dead worlds." It's goal is total domination of all life in the universe, not destruction of it. I think my main problem with this movie (aside from the unreasonable accessibility of flamethrowers) is that this monster seems impatient and reckless. In the original it seems much more willing to just wait, not necessarily eliminate everyone, and keep itself hidden. The new version is quick to attack for absolutely no reason at times, like in the helicopter (where it was literally on it's way out to new populations) or when it detatches an arm after they kill the guy with the flamethrower. Old school Thing would have bided its time, dropped pieces of itself, slowly taken the entire base. It's in no rush, the only reason it's stopped is because time and again the main characters are able to determine who it is and directly confront it at which point it goes all lovecraft to escape.

So, if I was infected by The Thing, would I still be here? Would I still identify as myself, only a Thing version of myself? Or would I start to fade as soon as it reaches my brain, deleting my personality and selfawareness completely? Also, if infected by the Thing, could I just make myself into a unicorn and run off into the sunset?

i was listening and it took me a minute to figure out he was sponsoring like he connected it perfectly im impressed af

I always assumed that the thing only copies the outside and voicebox of people and just jammed tentacles and teeth and other stuff into the shell. No organs, just a bag with death in it

AKA: How to beat “Carrion.” On another note, whenever I tried to classify exactly WHAT the Thing is, I always just fell under the presumption that it is some kind of incomprehensibly evolved life form that has reached such a complete level of biological control over its physical body that it doesn’t even require a fully functioning nervous system in order to retain its intelligence. Much like what the video itself purposes, I believe that its DNA IS the “neurological system” which carries the Thing’s “intelligence.” Its DNA is so intrinsic towards carrying the overall “intelligence” of this entity that the DNA does FAR MORE than just carry instructions for cellular fabrication. The thing’s DNA “intelligence” controls any cells it creates, controls any system that THOSE cells create, controls any organs THOSE systems create, and finally controls whatever organism those ORGANS create. At every level, no matter the cellular complexity OR simplicity, the Thing’s will controls the entire physical form. That would explain why even if its bodily fluids gets exposed to dangers like fire, not only do these replicated fluids react, but the entire replicated ORGANISM it came from reacts as well. The Thing’s CELLS react to outward physical stimuli without the affected cells even possessing neural functions. Its DNA IS its brain. And that implies a kind of biological evolution so impossibly advanced that it actually makes sense how it can create interstellar spacecrafts from junk in the shed.

Holy shit. Yeah; that makes complete sense! And a very good explanation of it as well. I wish the movie creators could be shown this

I liked how you explained normal DNA processes and rna manipulation. Its a lot of info to breakdown but you gave the most brief summary and I understood that yeah, science explaining movie alien stuff is goddamn nuts. Well done

While imitating the subject, it probably couldn’t immediately make something like a spare brain, but once it completes assimilation it could probably remove non-needed organs like an appendix in exchange for a mini brain.

I like how everyone uses the prequel because the people in the John Carpenter one are smart.

You mean paranoid, they are already there because they know some place got knocked the fuck out, their heads up really came when some crazy guy was risking his llife to kill a sled dog and attacking the crew in order to do so, and they also got a lot of creepy-ass documentation from the first crew that got killed, including a photograph of what is clearly a lifeform that did not originate from Earth encased in ice, and maybe even some footage of what is definately a spacecraft that was not of human origin. Basically, they knew something bad might have been out there, and once humans are aware of a threat, they are more vigilant to spot it. It's why racists are some of the best informed, most intelligent people, and most mentally stable people out there. This is true btw: - people who are more likely to agree with the validity of racial sterotypes score higher in IQ tests - people who live in racially diverse areas are also more likely to beleive in racial sterotypes having validity - people who self-identify as being on the far right have the least mental issues, while people on the far left have the most of them, particularly when looking for cluster b personality disorders, mood disorders, and psychotic disorders, racists are more likely to be on the autistic spectrum, however. - people who know more about topics relating to race, science, and history tend to be the most racist and the most likely to exhibit xenophobic and nationalist political attitudes, same goes for those who demonstrate less apathy to these subjects. - racists have a more active amygdala, which correlates to pattern-finding and conscientiousness - paradoxically, they tend to demonstrate more empathetic and altruistic behaviours towards those of other races than non-racists or anti-racists, who tend to be more like jerks, this behavioural difference also applies to interactions with those of the same race, they are nicer and more socially involved, they are also notably less affected by group influence (such as bystander effect, authority effect, or peer pressure) - racists not only score higher on friendliness, they also score higher on de-escalation and peaceful conflict resolution strategies than non-racists and anti-racists, explaining why "far right" terroism is the second most rare motivation for officially-defined terror attacks than behind "miscellaneous/unknown", while "far left" terrorism is the second most common after "islamic extremism", also why racist terror attacks typically are committed by lone actors, compared to the attacks attributed to lefti-wing and islamic causes, which more often involve groups working together. Basically, they may hate other races, but they will never admit it and do not demonstrate it in their interactions with members of other races, while anti-racists are more ikely to practice the behaviour expected from a racist when interacting wth those of other races, even though this is just how they interact with people generally. - racists are more likely to be autodidacts than non-racists and anti-racists, who are more likely to attend post-secondary education. - racists are more likely to come from intact and loving families, compared to non-racists and anti-racists, who are more likely to come from single-parent or dysfunctional families. - racists are more likely to be financially secure and are also more likely to be rated as physically attractive to the opposite sex, non-racists and anti-racists are the opposite, more likely to be rated as less physically appealing (as rated by the opposite sex) and are less financially solvent (more frequently in debt). - racists are more "light" than the general population when it comes to "dark triad" traits, while anti-racists are more "dark" (meaning they fill more of the dark triad than most people). - the further one is to the right, the more equal they interact with those of other racists, wile those further to the left tend to change their bahvaiour more in response to knowing the race of their interaction partner, racists are more likely to have close relationships and frequent interactions with those of other races, anti-racists are more likely to isolate themselves around those of the same race. - racists and anti-racists are more likely to be atheist or non-religious, non-racists are more likely to be religious than either group. - racists tend to demonstrate better knowledge of scientific methodology and critical thinking skills, and to apply it more often in problem solving, situation analysis, and in everyday living, they are allso less affected by social pressures, anti-racists tend towards a more dogmatic and assumption based thought and think emotionally rather than rationally, they are also more affected by social environment, this ties into the fact that racists tend to be on the stronger scale of the autistic spectrum, which is associated with this hyper-logic that frequently leads to social problems, while anti-racists tend towards personality disorders and mood disorders that are more characterized by irrational and emotional thinking. - "but autism also is characterized by difficulty with understanding other peoople's perspectives", yes, in children and unadjusted adults, and also dysfunctional autistics this is true, but high-functioning autists are not psychopaths that lack concern for how others think and feel, and tend to learn how to interact with other people over time, often to a superior degree than most people. The fact is that Norway is much more left wing and anti-racist than The United States, especially during the 80's when this movie and the prequel takes place, may have a lot to do with their superior odds of survival.

The last part with you talking about sea life sprouting legs and wreaking havoc gave me Gyo vibes.

This is great. Saw the first one a week ago. And the prequel a few days ago. Perfect timing. I really like that you try to take a logical scientific approach. Subbed and binging. Consider doing videos for video games like Roanoke

One: I do not assimilate more than one human to read his memory and run as a dog to find a polar bear then a fish and I colonize the sea, by the time I start to take care of humans, they'll be no way to stop the thing apocalypse...

It's funny how you mention the whole "fish growing legs and storming the beaches" thing at the end of the video. There was actually a popular horror manga about just that called Gyo, created by renowned horror mangaka Junji Ito. It was about these mechanical spider legs that appeared from nowhere in the ocean, attached themselves to fish, and then made them walk onto the land and attack people.

To make a simple analogy, if a cell were a computer, then the thing is a robot that dismantles it, fiddles with the firmware, then reinstalls a cracked version of the OS with a backdoor premade so it can override the inputs whenever it wants. And it does it all in a way that you never even lose your connection to your game lobby. It's crazy to think about.

I cannot wait for part 2

I always those infected with the thing weren’t aware until they transformed. Figured it was the ultimate strategy to allow it to infect more

The level of patience and determination you have to just explain this amazes me.

The “from a single cell” theory doesn’t hold water and has been pretty throughly debunked. The human body has specialized cells who’s only job is to use chemical signals to identify and destroy other human cells that aren’t as they should be. These cells are constantly at work, preventing us from getting cancer. Most microbiologists agree that without these cells, we’d all die of cancer before age 30. And it just so happens that the exact kind of chemical markers these cells use to identify cancer cells, are the same as the chemical markers a thing cell would have. Carpenter himself confirmed that the Thing can’t infect a healthy immune system with just a single cell, it has to get enough of its cells into a potential host to meet its MID threshold. The only reason that one of the characters mentions “one small piece” of the thing being able to infect people, is because he was unaware of how the Thing’s biology worked, and was being extra cautious as a result. Which was understandable, given the circumstances. MID = Minimum Infectious Dose.

@@blackwingBF The immune system doesn’t use visual cues to identify cells, it uses chemical signals. Cytotoxic T Cells are cells who’s only job is to find and destroy cancer cells. They find cancer cells by using chemical markers to find cells who’s DNA is incorrect. It is impossible for Thing cells to completely avoid detection from cytotoxic T cells, because part of the Thing’s base genetic structure HAS to remain in order for a Thing cell to stay a Thing cell. This is because the instructions for how a Thing cell should behave, and what physical capabilities it has, are all located in its DNA. If a Thing cell completely altered its DNA so that it only had the DNA of a human cell, then it would actually be just a normal human cell at that point.

Okay, I love this. Being the little devil on a movie villain's shoulder is actually really fun. Would definitely like to see more of these, Nerd Explains!

Although never displayed throughout either film, I assume that 'the Thing' is a creature of cunning and intelligence as displayed in its ability to manipulate and coerce those around it. Would it not be possible, if exposed, to not have a dialogue with it before it explodes in teeth and tentacles and tries to kill you? If it was not threatened with immediate extinction, would it not be able to carry on an intelligent conversation and reveal the secrets of the universe? Then hit it with the flamethrower 😉
