    No "horrors." Horror is an exclusively human concept, and in any case, organisms at this level are not sentient. They fear nothing. It is difficult to imagine them feeling pain in the way we do. No terror, but no happiness, either.

    I have (I think) a very weird perception of scale because I work with semiconductor thin films (for like transistors and stuff), where on the regular I measure my samples in angstrom and nanometer and look at grains that small under scanning electron microscopes. To me, thats "normal". Then I watch microcosmos videos and realize how HUGE and and complex organisms can be, struggling to grasp that they are 100x or 1000x bigger than my "normal" field of view. Thanks Hank, science and scale are weird and mindblowing.

    Those few doctors who pioneered soap use was Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian doctor who showed that washing your hands with soap reduced the rate of fatal infection. He was ostracized for his realization, for it forced doctors of the time to come to terms with their role in the death of many of their patients, having not washed their hands before many fatal surgeries.

    I have eczema, a skin condition that causes a red rash-like reaction to certain stimuli - in my case, excessive use of soaps and similar products. My last bout started in June after using sunscreen for 3 days in a row and washing it off with soap daily. _It is only healing now_ and took a change of diet and (possibly) some basic exercise daily to begin receding. I _still wash my hands regularly_ and always rinse them when I go to the loo for example. I also shower every other day (and use soap) so clean my hands then too. Unless they’re severely allergic to soap or something, no-one has an excuse not washing their hands! If I can, you can too! Edit: added the cause of my last bout.

    Thank you for this episode. As a physical scientist, I don't have a deep understanding of the very complex world of viruses and single cells. You have good analogies to help me "see" the viruses that your equipment can't quite resolve. And this video also explains well the action of soap. But the microcosmos is very complex. Although soap acts on many single cells, I struggle to understand how some cells are not destroyed by soap. Rather, some cells are able to use the chemical energy in soap as food. I learned a lot in your segment. Keep up the good work.

    I saw another video of yours and always wondered how life can be defined in a way that I can understand. The last video I saw talked about a dying cell and how we define life and death. I never would have thought that life was a bunch of chemicals working together to draw in energy and not reach equilibrium. I'm fascinated and very happy to have learned this. Now I know death is not just a mindset, and neither is life. What a beautiful world we live in!

    I do love the videos as it handles me exploring this viewing at home and it is faster and easier than diy. Of course that may be an option in future but the point is evolution. I believe when talking about it we must ensure we correctly state what nature is and isnt doing correctly because the subtle difference confuses the teaching of evolution and how it actually works. When discussing the virus goals it may indicate that there is actually a goal when in reality there is not. The same too with the paramecium housing the green chlorella and what they get out of the relationship. The reality is they do not get anything out of it. The programming and forces of nature determine that the surviving chlorella are more abundant within the paramecium because they are protected by a wall from viruses. As a result they reproduce more successfully there. There is no intent. This is a subtle but extremely critical statement with evolution. Not stating intent and showing why the mechanisms exist is critical in passing on what evolution actually is. Some people may state this is an over critical statement but i see the confusion very often and it's consequences are significant in how we assemble our view of day to day life.
