This got to be my favorite TED talk ever. She's so fun and her narration is perfectly captivating. I could hear her explaining things to me for hours, she's so goodat it. So proud of her discovery and hard work. That's one smart lady.

I’ve never been openly proud of the microbes in my digestive tract. Although I do think I’ve appreciated them just through gut instinct.

Great presentation. The latest IPCC report states that we will probably not be able to keep the global avg temperature from rising 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels without the help of Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS). These are processes by which the CO2 is literally sucked out of the air and stored underground. One of the biggest worries about CCS has been the possibility that the CO2 will resurface via cracks & fissures etc. This could be really helpful in keeping it below the surface.

Fantastic presentation! I showed this to my undergrads and they loved it - thank you.

SUPER TOPIC AGAIN!

2:45 this was always the most mind blowing thing to me about these deep biosphere organisms. Some scientists call them the "undead" because they apparently live so long without reproducing. The timescale is totally different from surface critters.

This is an excellent study not useless mapping of skys and stuff this is to helo humanity thanks

Tommy Gold and the Deep Hot Biosphere were seminal moments in science, from what I've read. The idea that anything could live deep under the Earth's crust was not believed at first - it just hows how much the habitability zone for life has been stretching out in all directions for years. Of course, then there was the discovery of a whole ecosystem living off the 'black smokers' in the mid-atlantic ridge.... life is amazing.

thank you

Amazing

Life is amazing, it finds a way , no light no problem, life still happens

What's the coolest thing about geology? Me: earthquakes Her: volcanoes Me: dang she's right

Interestingly, this also affirmatively answers the question of whether rock eating aliens can exist. I was expecting her to also mention geothermal energy as a food source for these microbes.

Damn that's actually tea

Thanks for sharing this

Wow!! As a mechanical engineer, the field of green engineering interests me a lot. Now these scientists would have to prove that chemolithoautotrophs are more energy efficient than industrial carbon sequestration techniques to be a viable option to reverse climate change. Also the environmental impact of excess carbonates needs to be assessed for side affects of using chemolithoautotrophs.

Beautiful presentation loved it. keep on the good work

Thank you!! TED!! Thank you very much, much love and gratitude for all you do... I love all your videos, we are learning so much nothing is going's going to stop us now. We are reaching for the stars. Always believe that something wonderful is about to happen. Blessings to all.

What a mind!

These microbes could be a double-edged sword. While they could help us, who's to say that we wouldn't get a new disease or the side effects that could incur.

The conditions in which the microbes discussed in the talk thrive are totally different than a human body. The human body doesn't have the right physicochemical parameters for them to grow and harm it.

This is interesting. I thought this would be true a few decades ago. My bottom was more like 25 miles down and I originally I thought that they would only be single-cell organisms. However, recent info shows that there are even a few multicellular organisms in this mix, which is amazing. It would seem that only the temperature that literally burns up the organic materials is the limit for such organisms. There would even be collective behavior over this entire biom. I am just speculating and may be wildly wrong, but I would assume that such organisms have formed an entire planet-spanning network where they interact with each-other to form a kind of "super-organism" that has major effects on ALL of the other living things on this planet. They are numerous enough and have had enough time to do such a thing and it would absolutely guarantee that they could keep their own environment to their liking. Things like the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs would merely be a local "incident" to such a thing.

"What if these deep surface organisms are just waiting for their version of summer?" Fcking scary that was!

Wait a second. Does that mean those Chemolithoautotrophs are able to make something physical (food) from electricity? They make matter out of energy? Or do they use electricity AND for exaple minerals to get a chemical reaction running? Sorry i am not a native English i hope i understood that correct.

I’m guessing that you can only account for microbes that can be grown in Petri dishes, how do you account for those that can be grown in a dish?

So with this knowledge could it be that Dr. Thomas Gold on his deep hot biosphere hypothesis was right ?

How thought? There's nothing inherently dangerous about bacteria: you wouldn't be alive without all the gut bacteria that coexist with you and help break down your food. Approaching new scientific discoveries with a mindset of fear is not a good way to look at the world.

Wow she is beautiful

People who are fascinated with high school science scare me

100,000 tons of human gut biome is 100 million kg which means only about 13 grams per average person. I think she may have that figure wrong. As for microbes dividing during the night growing to equal the mass of the Earth, it is amazing what you can do with exponentials, but that is theoretical, ignoring the impact of hitting the Malthusian walls of the petri dish and starving.

The beginning of the end.

Aren't this re uploads?

so what is the main idea u want to share?

First to figure out how to use microbes to lock CO2 into crystal form gets to be the Father/Mother of the diamond age. I want it in a spray can so I can diamond coat my sunglasses.
