    Learned about this in school and never forgot it. The fact that in the wild and dissonant chaos of nature two organisms were able to come together and conjoin and co-evolve as a unified cell is mind-blowing. The first ever time life worked together..

    The first mitochondrium was a parasite that got inside another bacteria and used its resources to multiply. When the host bacteria managed to survive the process they started to evolve together.

      We don't know that. The first could have been symbiotic. I know it wasn't black and white and there may have been a zoo of such proto eucaryotes around waring for supremacy and after billions of years our eucaryote emerged then allowing a quantum leap. Now it appears Homo sapiens will emerge from the age of eucaryotes and the quantum leap is even more incredible as the emerging property is technology 😀.

    I hate when anybody tries to imply anything other than recordkeeping is the greatest invention. You literally cannot work om something twice without it, everything before was just memory and asking ppl and trying things. Nothing will ever be more important than record keeping, not even close.

      Prokaryotes are generally extremely small and therefore you can't really put another organism inside of them. If you count viruses or jumping genes as some kind of life then I guess that's where the last level would be.

      Let's just say that information is spread at hyperspeed, be it correct info or false info (kind of cancels itself out, doesn't it? I guess if the emitter "means it well", there is a positive output on the receiver's end after all but that cannot be guaranteed)

    How far could humans progress in science if we stopped limiting ourselves to the narrow minded belief that Eukaryote’s somehow evolved into complex bodily functions & organs that work symbiotically together to create a consciously aware state, to do things like see colors, express emotion or create things like art and music that evoke feelings and abstract thought?

    Perhaps the planet is just an electron floating around the nucleus, the sun. With the human body and the universe being composed of 98% space, perhaps its a mirror of sorts. It is endless both within and without you. Have we actually even seen greatness? What is greatness to you? What is most important?

    • @osifox8119
      @osifox8119 2 роки тому +1

      I think the electron would have to be an entire other universe for your concept to make sense because we know that protons are not stars, and we also know alot about smaller scales the problem starts around the Plank scale and quantum mechanics breaks down because of infinity/0. So your Universe may be in there.
