I love seeing a TED speaker who isn't awkward or nervous, or at least handles it well. A lot of the speakers on TED Talks are scientists/specialists in their particular field, and often don't do well with public speaking. So when they get on the stage and really capture people's attention, it's really an enjoyable experience.

Very discernable indeed!

Very cool! Changing understanding of life, yes. Also standing out here is 'changing perception of time'. A while back, i'd gotten interested in taking a pretty deep look into time and wound up writing a short paper on it, more philosophy than physics, with a key consideration being the nature of our perception of time making things very difficult when it comes to trying to reach any understanding of 'what is time'. There was one paper another person had written, more from a scientific perspective, a guy by the name of Rovelli, paper was titled "Forget Time" (i see he's been thinking about this ever since and has recently come out with a book on it). He advocated replacing time with thermodynamic equations (something tells me that would be a hard sell to the general public). Your consideration of the amount of energy consumption/metabolic rate/longevity, with your deep see microbes (oh, temperature/metabolic rate, what's the temperature at the bottom of the ocean? i've heard that methane freezes down there...), would seem to support his argument. Certainly our perception of time is profoundly impacted by thermodynamic factors. We don't actually measure time but state variations compared to other state variations in time and it is the rate of variation we call 'time'. As you have noticed, the slower the rate of state variations, the less meaningful any concept of 'time' becomes. i've added your talk to my continuing collection of notes on the subject of 'time'. Thanks! :-)

Its wonderful to see someone who can engage you for an entire talk on a subject not many would go, oh I will watch this. Big respect for person. Well done

The most clearly explained subject about something I never thought I'd hear.

Wow. What an amazing, twist and turn of insights, leading to a ponderous self reflection... Bravo!

Love the passion. Definitely made it more interesting to watch and learn. And it never ceases to amaze me what discoveries we still have yet to make on our own planet. Things move at different rates of time relative to our own perceptions. Very fascinating.

I find this fascinating on multiple levels. Not only does it speak to the potential diversity of ways that life has adapted to survive on our own planet, but it absolutely informs, if not redefines, our thinking about the search for life on other worlds. If one was to extrapolate Karen's explanation/description of the sun as the source of energy and also the means by which more-familiar-to-us life was sped up in a sense, then we can view both ourselves and the deep under-surface microbial life on a continuum of sorts. If then we are on that continuum, what about other forms of life which may have adapted and grown to function in a difference range of that continuum, in the vast, vast plenitude between us and them? But here's the fascinating part: What about what WE might term as 'intelligent' life that has evolved somewhere else on that continuum? Maybe in between, or possibly even beyond us? What about a life form that's intelligent but has evolved in their world so that their biorhythms are quite faster than the sedimentary microbes, but still far less frequent than our own? Like looking at the hour-hand of a clock, their movements, signals, and processes might be imperceptible to our detection. (Anyone seen Drax around here?) What about an intelligent form of life that has evolved in an environment and world where their biorhythms are far, far beyond us on the continuum? Would this life *seem* to us not only frenetic, but so frenetic and chaotic that we would interpret it as random? There are multi-faceted discussions all the time, by folks far more intelligent than I, as to what constitutes life , as well as what constitutes sentient life. In our lifetimes we have seen this conversation expand to include artificial life and intelligence. This talk by Karen, to me, adds a whole new aspect if not dimension to that discussion. Maybe this is not a new thought at all, just new to me. ;-)

Brilliant speaker, both funny and informative. She has certainly sparked my interest in the subject

I like her sm ! She's so intelligent and charming

Greatest talk and topic in years. Absolute mind shifting perspective. We appear to be a species, developed from slowly adapted micro-organisms that got used to the pulse/beat of sunlight. From one single cell to a specialized breed, ready to extinct again. And waiting after that - for millions of years - for another deep-see-organism to give it a new try :)

Great talk, she's very articulate and her enthusiasm is clearly genuine. I hope she does talks at elementary school levels; inspire those kids!

What a great speaker! And so passionate about the topic. Well done young lady.

She's a great speaker! Kept me engaged the whole time.

If we could learn how to temporarily slow metabolism to this minimalistic state, it could also solve long distance space travel issues. Instead of trying to work out the issues of low temperatures, we could just take some deep sea tech to deep space.

Karen, your personality just made marine biology interesting and fun to learn about! thank you!

Thank you for a interesting presentation Karen Lloyd, showing us that life allways find a way. :-) You mentioned that noone to date has been able to grow the microorganisms you found in a lab and I was waiting for you to mention one component we humans often take for granted. But you didn´t. So I´m curious.. You mention that the Joides Resolution can drill thousands of meters underneath the ocean, and you use the terms deep sub surface microbes. I don´t know what depths that indicate, I just guess it´s really deep, so; won´t the pressure at that depth be massive? Maybe the microbes need that pressure in the lab too, if it´s possible to make there? Kind regards and thanks again :-) -a-

Okay the oceans are super cool

Wonderful, passionate speaker, fascinating topic, new material. This is what science is all about. Bravo!

As Jack Northrup said below, Karen passes on her enthusiasm to us all. It's great to know people who are so jazzed about science - it gives me hope!

Fantastic talk. But if these bacteria grow that much slower than the ones we knew before, doesn't that mean they have had less generations to change their genomes? So basically they should be very behind in evolution, so can't we get information about early cells?

@Austin Downing Well, not liking a given topic and not liking a video are two different things. I've watched videos that held no interest for me, but the presenter did a great job of putting the video together for anyone interested in the topic, and so I never hit the dislike button on those videos. The way I see it, "dislike" is for when you thought the video was utter crap *and* that the title of the video wasn't enough to convey to you that such a video simply isn't up your alley. For example, I couldn't care less what any given celebrity is up to. If there's a video called "What [pick a celebrity] Has Been Up To Since [pick some movie or something like that)]," and the video does a good job of summarizing what's been happening for that celebrity or whatever, then I have no reason to hit dislike on it, despite me being someone who at their very core hates watching that kind of thing. Now, if it was the same exact situation, except the delivery / content (not topic, but *content* on that topic) was not very good/terrible - or insensitive / close-minded / ignorant - then I would hit the dislike button.

A beautiful and informative lecture Karen, thank you.
