    Every time I've come back to this channel since my first binge, I'm always struck with how this
    content and community has none of the drama, insincerity, or clamoring for attention, of other channels. I just feel happy and inspired coming in and out. Just lovely people enjoying the soothing beauty and wonder of microscopic life. Yall deserve some recognition for that!
    And to Hank and James and the microcosmos team, this is *SO* much better than rushed popscience videos.

    When I was in college 20 years ago, we used some kind of tiny gel beads to slow ciliates down. They crowded the ciliates and got in their way like the paramecia crowding each other in the last clip. Unfortunately, there was this small window of time between the beads being too far apart to do much and so close together that they smooshed the ciliates. You had to add tiny amounts of water to the slide so they didn’t all turn into polyhedral paramecia between the beads.

  • @markwoll

    Wow, just wow. That last grouping of paramecia is so beautiful.

  • @euclideanplane
    @euclideanplane 3 роки тому +30

    I think I might try recreating this entire Paramecium in 3D, there's so much visual information here that I can use to observe and make solid animations of the grid of wavy bits surrounding it, gosh it would be just a perfect thing to use for future projects too I think I'll probably do it, I'll post it here if I do and it looks good enough to share lol.
    Now that I'm almost finished with the video here, I really want to model them all, this whole video is mind blowing, I instantly understand how they've been moving now just by looking at this visually and, it's so bizarre to see this mechanical solution like come into focus, don't know how else to say it haha. I'd love to see these things in a 3D environment where you could do 3D fly arounds as they do their natural everyday thing that they do in the real world in 1/8th real time or what ever it might be, just to give my brain that visual understanding of them again but in a more correct environmental context, afterall they are 3D, if any of that makes sense.
    It got me thinking though and now I want to go on a tangent:
    With all the recent improvements in A.I., and the recently created waffer-scale wide chips that are said to increase model training power by 1000x (training the equivalent of GPT-3 in a single day), I honestly think it's safe to say that we'll be having "living" / functioning perfectly 3D versions of these organisms here soon, and that we'll all get a chance to look at them through 2D / 3D video footage or something of the sort, but it'll be in even crazier detail than we are here, granted this is trippy enough, just try imagining being able to fly around this thing in 3D and just get the full perspective of the environment, since we could pick any angle we like and change the lightning / what not.
    We're unlocking just exactly how proteins are formed, we've already got a very good prediction model, who knows what these new chips that are about to hit the market will bring, or any future chips.
    And we have had the DNA read / write technology for awhile now, all that was missing was this. ^
    I give it 2 years to happen, hopefully.

    Children are inspired by movies and videos and TV, its that idea of becoming something greater than the people around you believe you to be, its that lack of self confidence in our own direction that makes us attracted to proposed directions highlighted or suggested by others. To abandon ones own ambitions and goals to obtain what others may request of you is a sacrifice on your part, to make such a sacrifice for those unwilling to return the favour when it matters the most to you personally is an example of being ushered into a one sided relationship. If people cant pull out all the stops when it matters to you surely they should expect no different on the occasion that something matters to them of which they request your participation.

  • @gryfandjane
    @gryfandjane 3 роки тому +8

    Fascinating indeed. Having watched your videos for some time now, one of the things that I’ve found most interesting is ciliary motion. Those of us in the “macrocosmos” tend to think of motion as a thing brought about by muscles and a nervous system. It’s astonishing to see beautifully coordinated movement at the microscopic level… I find myself wondering what moves those cilia, if not muscles, and what controls them, if not a brain? The microcosmos is deeply intriguing, and your videos are masterpieces.

    • @thomassontag4270
      @thomassontag4270 3 роки тому +7

      I agree! I am a Microbiology student and your exact questions are a big part of the reason why I chose this career. I don't have the time or talent to explain in detail how cilia and work, but here it goes:
      Living cells are negatively charged when compared to their environment and can use the movement of electrons from their insides to the exterior to power motors. Alternatively, some cells that don't want to spend electrons like that might use ATP (the microbial equivalent of gas) to power this movement.
      These movements are controlled by complicated chemical reactions that release molecules that "jam" the motors or, in the case of flagella, might instead make them turn cells towards a random direction (tumble). I believe this channel covered how some bacteria run and tumble.

    At 4:85 watching the paramecium pass over top and underneath each other is stunning, especially since we only ever seem microbes from one angle squished between two pieces of glass so to see vertical motion is super eye opening, it's one thing to know it happens and it's another to actually see it. Makes me wonder if we could somehow create a microscope that let's us move our viewing angles 360 Degrees

    • @kf10147
      @kf10147 3 роки тому +3

      So cilia are actually microtubules that are surrounded by the cell membrane. They are anchored into the cell by centrioles. They move through a complex interaction of proteins that pick up and use ATP (converting it to ADP + P) to change shape and move the microtubule. Amoeboid locomotion is similarly based on microtubules but these stretch the entire cell and sections can be made stiff or fluid through complex protein interactions.

    • @kf10147
      @kf10147 3 роки тому +3

      Microtubules are just long hollow protein tubes that can be flopped around by protein interactions. In the case of cilia/flagella these interactions happen at the base of the cilia where they are rooted into the cell by centrioles.
