I studied a marine virus in grad school and almost every source I cited at some point included the phrase "viruses are the most abundant biological entities in the world and world's oceans." I always loved the term "biological entity" for something that is very close to alive, but isn't quite.
The closer you look at any line we've drawn, the fuzzier it gets, which inspires in many a sort of existential dread at the implications for their concept of self. "Biological entity" elegantly sidesteps the Sisyphean task of clarifying the concept of "life".
"Imagine a mouse crawled down your throat and turned your guts into a mouse factory" I would rather *not* imagine that. Please stop giving us new nightmares.
@@prashanthbaliga78 Yeah, but all C-based languages use that. It's an incredibly basic syntax for an if-statement, to the point that even Excel uses it. The fact that you assumed that it's JavaScript automatically says that you barely even code and use other languages. Keep coding, kiddo.

@@eVill420 what if tons are released into your bloodstream so that when inflammation occurs the giruses flood out too? or maybe incorporating them as a part of the immune system by having the mucus glands also make the giruses safely and incorporate them into the mucus lining the nose
@@Jermain-cz4bh maybe it's possible, but I don't think the Giruses would infect them fast enough, it probably take a few hours for the virus to incubate in the amoeba, giving them enough time to multiply and still kill you. if you somehow injected them in the early stages though, that would work
“Imagine a mouse crawling into your mouth, and using your guts and bones and fat tissue to build a mouse factory” That wouldn’t be out of place as a circle of hell in Dante’s Inferno.
I think the thing that most amazes me is the fact that every virus side by side can make a line larger than 500 milky ways... thats insane, like,... REALLY insane. As a Space Engine enjoyer i understand pretty well the humongous size of the mily way, but i cant imagine it anymore, just because of this insane count of viruses...
Just because we can spread them in a 3D space we can accommodate them in such a small space, relatively speaking. If we find a way to store things in the 4th dimension, I'll have a place to put my stuff that I never use :D
And it was just a fictional scenario. You'd be surprised how many parasites are out there ready to lay their eggs inside you and then their larva feed of your body.

actually there is scp-439, the bone hive. But that is based on a earwig that enters your body and produces abnormal bone growth so you become a immobile living hive for them. They eat some of your organs but keep the rest alive and functioning so you provide heat, protection from outside and, sometimes, they use your digestive track to pre-process their food and make it into a nutrient rich slurry....

And then there's our normal world just floating in between

“Imagine a mouse crawling into your mouth and using your guts and bones and fat tissue to build a mouse factory.” I can already see this appearing in Kurzgesagt Out of Context videos
Kurzgesagt: “Imagine a mouse crawling into your mouth and using your guts and bones and fat tissue to build a mouse factory.” Me: “No… I don’t think I will.”
Also: kind of fascinating that with large organisms you'll usually see the bigger hunting the smaller. But on the microscopic level, it often happens the other way around; with smaller things hunting larger things.
I mean it does also happen on the large scale, our most prolific killers are microorganisms like bacteria and viruses. It's more like to gain energy you need to eat something smaller and to reproduce you need to infect something larger.
Whenever Kurtzgesagt begins a sentence with “imagine” it’s either going to be an interesting hypothetical, or a completely horrifying one. Sometimes both, but never neither.
and somtimes it turns out he isn't talking about a hypothetical at all. especially the one about elephant size ducks. trust me you see weird shit in Brooklyn
@@JCW7100 oh, I get it. The maths teacher is talking about how simple* (*stupid) the students are! It's just the fact that he told *you* was a little odd, seeing as thinking someone's stupid sounds like what your maths teacher would say to another teacher and to towards their student. But it's OK, I get the joke now!
Reminds me of what my Professor said when he saw that we were utterly confused about something that fails clear classification. "Why is it so confusing you ask? Because Mother Nature doesn't care how humans classify things."
This is a perfect representation of what I am talking about, just like our misclassification of light as being a particle/wave so too, have we labeled a natural cellular process's secretion a seperate entity attacking the cells.
Because classifying things is stupid at its core. I mean, it's very useful, but when you look at it every living thing is just a marginal variation from another one. All the marginal variations make complexity. So it appears that a flower is something completely different from a giraffe (and it is), so you can classify them. But considering time and numbers, it's all about marginal variations. We think at life like it's a mathematical discrete group, but it's more like a mathematical continuous group
9:00 This is freaking AMAZING. Also all of this stuff about viruses hunting viruses and DNA is like learning about a bizarre arms race among alien species. And they all exist here on earth, unseen to our eyes but affecting our genes
I love that Kurzgesagt has become more information packed. It's still relatively simple, but there is more detail for people who are not absolutely at the basics! I think Kurzgesagt is just getting better!
2 things: 1) Really interesting video, learned alot, 2) Please world, let scientists discover a species of elephant sized ducks that has just been hiding unnoticed among elephants.
'What is life' 'Birdy don't hurt me' That was a sneaky little meme. 2:40 for those who dont know, it's from the song "What is love" "Baby, don't hurt me"
I'm a science postgrad and I chuckled when you brought up CRISPR since I'm using Cas-phi in my research. The best part about it is the fact that it was isolated from the Biggiephage, which is probably my favourite name for a macrovirus.
It's wild that this eternal war with quadrillions of casualties just quietly rages out of sight. Amazing that everything hunting each other finds a balance in the chaos, too.
My sister was really sick once, and when she woke up after taking antibiotics said she had a crazy nightmare, where she was in her body watching her own soldiers come out and just decimate all these other soldiers that were just trying to live. She said she woke up feeling sad for the virus, but much better physically. Makes ya think. :)
They might have more but humans are still more sophisticated, since millions and billions of them work together, making it more impressive with less so that the load is lessened.

Thank you for the captivating animated video on viruses! Your dynamic visuals and clear explanations made complex virology topics accessible and engaging. Your dedication to science communication is commendable, and I look forward to learning more from your insightful content! "KUDOS TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM".
It’s mind boggling to think about how all these things are happening inside your body at any time at an unimaginable scale. Whenever I read statistics about how many numbers of cells, viruses etc there are in me - It’s like trying to understand how big the Milky Way is, or simply how far away Saturn is from our planet. It’s impossible for our human brain to truly grasp these kind of scales.
Exactly,i recall someone stating the other day that the chances of a person being born are 200 thousand trillion to one. I was like,ok,now how the hell did they come to that conclusion,the amount of adding up and thinking it would take. I know we are all grotesquely lucky but how would one come to that number??? I take it they are basing it on a 17 billion year theses and all the changes that would have to occur from primordial soup to rudimentary life at its lowest form, to BING! here I am,Lucky lucky barsteward..
Oh my god that chart where the girus affected the evolution tree was so freakin amazing. It was like a huge plot twist for me like it's suggesting that evolution itself was affected by these giruses. So good
it most likely was, not necessarily by giruses, but any virus. if we look at our genome we will find many junk DNA that came from viruses. meaning its likely that many times in our evolutionary history, viruses may have influenced mutations that we carry to this day.
“Imagine a mouse crawling into your mouth and using your guts and bones and fat tissue to build a mouse factory.” No. I don't think I want to imagine nightmare fuel.

Whenever Kurtzgesagt begins a sentence with “imagine” it’s either going to be an interesting hypothetical, or a completely horrifying one. Sometimes both, but never neither.
Always entertaining.
“Imagine” **talks about some cool facts and such**
“Imagine” **literally changes the way you view yourself and life**

“This [creature] should not be able to perform [activity], however the [creature] does not care what we think and performs [activity] anyway”
Reminds me of what my Professor said when he saw that we were utterly confused about something that fails clear classification.
"Why is it so confusing you ask? Because Mother Nature doesn't care how humans classify things."
Or to quote NDT; “the universe is under no obligation to make sense to you”
9:19
This is a perfect representation of what I am talking about, just like our misclassification of light as being a particle/wave so too, have we labeled a natural cellular process's secretion a seperate entity attacking the cells.
How do things without a brain move in reaction to something without it being a chemical reaction
Because classifying things is stupid at its core. I mean, it's very useful, but when you look at it every living thing is just a marginal variation from another one. All the marginal variations make complexity. So it appears that a flower is something completely different from a giraffe (and it is), so you can classify them. But considering time and numbers, it's all about marginal variations. We think at life like it's a mathematical discrete group, but it's more like a mathematical continuous group

It's wild that this eternal war with quadrillions of casualties just quietly rages out of sight. Amazing that everything hunting each other finds a balance in the chaos, too.
My sister was really sick once, and when she woke up after taking antibiotics said she had a crazy nightmare, where she was in her body watching her own soldiers come out and just decimate all these other soldiers that were just trying to live. She said she woke up feeling sad for the virus, but much better physically. Makes ya think. :)
The processes that are not in balance simply cease to exist relatively fast. Stuff is out of balance all the time, but you rarely notice.

Balance emerges naturally in the chaos : the weak dies and the strong survives. Not the best way to create balance, but it works.

It’s mind boggling to think about how all these things are happening inside your body at any time at an unimaginable scale. Whenever I read statistics about how many numbers of cells, viruses etc there are in me - It’s like trying to understand how big the Milky Way is, or simply how far away Saturn is from our planet.
