This episode was so visually stunning. I was completely glued to the screen. Its amazing seeing the diversity that exists in the world when it comes to different ways of sensing and reacting to light. Endlessly fascinating.
This channel just keeps getting better. The new microscope and the images you get now are endlessly interesting, and humbling. Even the tiniest single-celled being has a vast complexity driven by the same spark of life as us. Quite remarkable.
That may be unlikely, sunlight is many times brighter and have much more energy than the light from a microscope. And also they may not even register the same spectrum of light that we are shining at them in order to see them.
@@ShapeDoppelganger I am guessing that when I use that mirror to reflect sunlight in order to use my microscope; it would still be less invasive than direct sunlight.
I wouldn't say extremely low. We can feel the heat of sunlight that was emitted millions of miles away on such a tiny area of space, such as our arms. The energy levels of all the frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum varies greatly (from radio/weak to gamma/intense), but the visible light part, which is what we're talking about, still contains plenty of energy.
This channel and everyone involved are miraculous. I truly have no words to described how much you make me geek out when I see a new video has been released. Thank you for taking the leap in creating this channel and giving us the privilege of going on this journey into the microcosmos! ^_^
The part discussing the energetic cost of sight reminds me of a hypothesised difference between anatomically modern humans and Neanderthals; our cousins apparently had larger eyes and it's thought a larger area of their brain dedicated to visual processing, whereas our optic centres are smaller and we may have instead dedicated more grey matter to developing our social aquities. Neanderthal communties were very small in comparison to human ones, reflecting less social abilities.
I am an avid follower of the journey to the microcosms. I learn from their videos a lot. Chromatic adaptation is a term I have never heard before. Thank you very much.
Hank, I love listening to the way you speak in these videos. Combined with the music, they are VERY relaxing. Not to mention informative as well. Thank you
I first experienced the idea of the entire world having evolved alongside humans, rather than a human centered point of view with the thought that the other great apes have continued to evolve from our common ancestor for as long as we have. We didn't come from chimpanzees or bonobos, they've evolved alongside us, as our cousins. This video connected the dots for me that this concept applies to all of creation (who or what did or did not create is fuel for engagement metrics!)
Double tap to say, thanks for the slower pace of narration in this series. Hank, you've got a lovely voice, I like it when you let it linger a bit for us, rather than the crash course rapid fact beat (which also has its appropriate application).
So....Sybille Stentor's name in Skyrim is apparently a VERY niche joke/reference. (Get it...vampire? Hates sun) Ok Bethesda, who's the microbe nerd on the team?
Ever since learning some microbes had a light sensing structure which literally just propels as flagella in response to light, I now think that all human behaviour, especially consciousness, is likely just a complicated interplay of basic reactions like this, just evolved. No funny mind-body problem, consciousness issues etc, just cells responding to stimuli in an extended network.
1:25 Ooooh, I love the Blepherisma. Opaque pinky, purple, what a gorgeous little critter. I bet it would look really beautiful under polarized light, probably light up all kinds of glittery. 1:59 Stentor coeruleus is also a favorite of mine. With their beautiful, green bottle blue coloration, they're just so pretty.
So has anyone else noticed how some of these microscopic organisms remind you of an octopus. Octopi and mollusk being the macro evolution of microorganisms?
That's flagellum - part of their movement appararatus. What you described as "dancing" is, in fact, drilling into water with rotary motion these things produce.
So, if they can react to light with an organ, can move around etc, they must have a central command type unit if not a brain. The rudiments of thought, seeing as they are not randomly reacting with their environment, but interacting with self preservation at hand. It must have some memory capability.
This made me think of a question I've had. I've seen videos of people who were say in a car accident and had shards of glass go into their arm, then they say many years later it was pushed to the surface... what process is doing this? To me this means somehow the cells of your body know their orientation in the body so I'd be super curious to know what's happening there... maybe this is a SciShow question not a JttM question?
As an Autist, i can really say: I Love this Channel. I react to transparent Materials with beautiful colors in a "Special Way" 🤭 I cant wait to see the even smaller Things. 🦠
So we’ve evolved such sophisticated sensory organs because humans need them for our survival within our environment. I’m not sure if that’s an insult or not
me who has compelx photoreceptors, pigment cells, lenses, optical cells and nerve cells just using it to get information instead of using it to run or hide or fight or hunt or alot of stuff
Excellent as usual! I am subscribed and like very video. Can you suggest a great book on microbiology? I'm looking for College level or more, cost is not a primary issue. Kind of a one and done type of reference book.
The problem with this channel is now every time I eat, shower, brush my teeth, void my bowels or eat cheese, I can’t stop thinking about microbes 🦠 wriggling and pooping everywhere. Help
"I always feel like a microbe's watching me...."
...and I get no Macrography!
There not. Its like us looking at the observable universe.
Theyre

I'll have a small look at this video
Best joke of 2020
There's the exit, sir
Oh you think you're so clever don't you? WELL GUESS WHAT! YOU ARE!
👏🏼
Har har har 😑
2:03
Oh no that poor microbe!
RIP Little Dude. 😔
The stentor has to eat too, it finally caught one! (RIP little dude though, he was really cute 🥺)
I think that was a Didinium? You can see him trying to eat the stentor and then he's like "Oh wait I'm dead".
@@fnamelname9077 looks like a fat rotifer to me
I didn't expect to see spoilers while scrolling through comments on a microbe video

I wonder if we permanently blind organisms on our slides with the extreme amount of light we literally push through them.
That may be unlikely, sunlight is many times brighter and have much more energy than the light from a microscope.
And also they may not even register the same spectrum of light that we are shining at them in order to see them.
@@ShapeDoppelganger Hm. Makes sense. Didn't think about it like that
@@ShapeDoppelganger I am guessing that when I use that mirror to reflect sunlight in order to use my microscope; it would still be less invasive than direct sunlight.
@@ShapeDoppelganger Basically, Photons have an extremely low amount of energy stored in them. The more dangerous radiations are IR, UV, etc.
I wouldn't say extremely low. We can feel the heat of sunlight that was emitted millions of miles away on such a tiny area of space, such as our arms. The energy levels of all the frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum varies greatly (from radio/weak to gamma/intense), but the visible light part, which is what we're talking about, still contains plenty of energy.
7:32 can we just take a moment to appreciate this living video game obstacle. He/she/it is truly a magnificent creature.
Bro was afraid to use the wrong pronouns on a microorganism 💀
@@_ThankMeLater we live in a society
@@_ThankMeLater 🤣🤣🤣
Damn you're right it's just like the little crawly bois in hollow knight
Pronouns don’t even matter, that creature is an ostracod and is a hemaphrodite (has reproductive organs of both genders)
Thank you...
Me : awww, you're welcome
To Skillshare
Me : ohhh...
even if all it ends up being is a fuzzy grayscale I'd still love to see a visualization of what these little eyes might actually perceive
"Evolution...was not leading to *us*" gave me chills. So well said!
5:43 I hadn't heard it in a while and I wondered if you retired this track. I love animals and whatnot but I love (this specific) songs too!
That's thanks to Andrew Huang
Is this track something u can find or is it specifically for the show?
Someone know how to track down this track?

Videos like these are like chapters of encyclopaedia. Hope videos like these become a medium of education in schools in my country. Would be so great.
I love this channel and hank’s chill voice is the nectar of the gods.
Last time I was this early I was an eyeless microbe.
So, a mcrobe then.

Hank, I love listening to the way you speak in these videos. Combined with the music, they are VERY relaxing. Not to mention informative as well. Thank you
Your little 'beg' for subscriptions was surprisingly tasteful and brief.
Anyone else here watches these videos to relax after a long day?
Something about the combination of the visuals and his voice is so calming.

Don’t miss the the poor rotifer that is eaten by Stentor coeruleus at 2:00.

oscillatoria can literally only vibe. its an organizing that is just vibing 100% of the time
All those who think this is a great video say “YES”...the AYES have it

Never disappointed - thank you JTTM!
That last pun was so good :)
The soundtrack is so calming! Will you release it on spotify in the future?
Yea it’s nice to hear decent quality and original music on a channel like this
I'd like a UA-cam channel with this music. 👍
If I remember correctly it was a perk at last year's charity life stream from Hank and his Brother.
The two-eyed microbes are absolutely stunning
Wonderful subject and lovely beings depicted, as always, thanks!
1:49 Holy Eyeball!
New sub here love this stuff, any plans in a full length documentary?
this always feel like a spore game but in hi-def
oh to see without my eyes
Literally haha
Ok WTF that Stentor at 4:05 looks absolutely insane!
Me: *opens the video
Narrator: thank you
Me: oh you're welc..
Narrator: ..TO SKILLSHARE!
Me: of course, who else?! 😌
these videos are made to be watched while you're high
AAAAAHHHH the Macroverse! This isn't the microverse I was promised!
;)
I feel heard! Thanks for making this episode
Those strips look so out of this world and it lives.
On ne voit bien qu'avec les yeux du coeur. Thanks for sharing.
This channel is so cool. Like really.
This video is what sold me on 60fps content.
Seems like this video has better framerate than your previous videos. Great to see improvements.
3:30 Plants are green to keep absorption low. I am not sure that they maximize it.
So has anyone else noticed how some of these microscopic organisms remind you of an octopus. Octopi and mollusk being the macro evolution of microorganisms?
And I thought it was genius in our existence that we through history each have unique finger print 🤣 man you opened a new universe to(us) thank you 👍
that last video piece is very cool
Is there any microbe that can see bioluminescence? Like existing in a giant glowing world.
gotta give us a look at that ostracod. thing's like a tiny hermit crab
I just loved the music during the video!!
This channel was such a great find
I wanna see a video that compares or combines microbiology and astronomy
9:09 it looks like they're trying to spell a word!
I want to know more ostracods and euglenarias!
Do you think these organisms have thoughts? They appear to do more than simply react, and to me that implies a level of consciousness.
Why does the Artemia have the big dark spot? Is it absorbing all the light or is something else happening?
It is kind of scary to think that certain microbes can see us
9:19 Alright Euglenaria and a ton of other microbes have this little... dancing string. What the heck is that?
That's flagellum - part of their movement appararatus. What you described as "dancing" is, in fact, drilling into water with rotary motion these things produce.
Oh I wish you could do the eyes of dinoflagellates. They have lenses on a single celled organism!
Modified chloroplast
Lead me TO LIGHT, OH LORD
The Journey to the Microcosmos version of Hank Green is the peak ASMR version
I don't know...
I struggled to stay awake.
Early moment, super excited!
The narrator is soo familiar.. campus love stories😁
You guys need to do an episode on Erythropsidinium...
Well, this was worth looking into.
I'll see myself out.
*~ba dum tiss~*
ohh to see without my eyes...
I never thought about it like that. I guess evolution does what works. And different eyes work for different organism
So, if they can react to light with an organ, can move around etc, they must have a central command type unit if not a brain. The rudiments of thought, seeing as they are not randomly reacting with their environment, but interacting with self preservation at hand. It must have some memory capability.
loved this one
Quality content.

In future, would it be OK to point out red/green things? It was very hard for me to see where the red spot is
brilliant
Love this channel.

9:20 "...they are *short pause* ideal for their survival"
Me: ha, ideal... Eye deal. The videos about eyes.
I'm sorry I'll stop now.
So we’ve evolved such sophisticated sensory organs because humans need them for our survival within our environment. I’m not sure if that’s an insult or not
me who has compelx photoreceptors, pigment cells, lenses, optical cells and nerve cells just using it to get information instead of using it to run or hide or fight or hunt or alot of stuff
So would Diatoms have optical glass? Could we use this for microscopes and other applications? Is this even possible? Or am I just too curious?
I like to think they see pixelated shadows
Excellent as usual! I am subscribed and like very video. Can you suggest a great book on microbiology? I'm looking for College level or more, cost is not a primary issue. Kind of a one and done type of reference book.
Did that Stentor eat that Rotifer?!
The old background music is so much better :(
backteria eye study source ?
Great!!!
Thanks🔬
@4:32 anyone else see a "whale" face within the Stentor coerules?
Duh dur they are whales
I do
i think i noticed the band "zola blood" there in the background around the 6:40ish mark!! such incredible musicians!!
Danielle, could you tell us what the name of the Zola blood song is?
I happen to also have eyes.
Why most microorganisms have one or two eyes?
Thanks Jon Malkovich!
so like, do microbes feel pain, or do they naturally just know to avoid predators?
If they “feel” anything, which they almost certainly don’t, it’s nothing like how we experience the world.
Meanwhile the apologists carry on about the "irreducible complexity of the eye" 🙄
