Journey to the Microcosmos - 2019-09-02
Death is inevitable and mysterious, even in the microcosmos. Stentors, heliozoans, and yes, even tardigrades, experience death in many different ways.

It actually made me a little sad seeing that cell die. It almost looked like it was trying to stay alive.
@dana rrrU Yes.
Don't let pro-choice people hear you say that.
@Rebecca The Great wrong video
Cells have no emotions or sense of being. You might as well have felt sad for a pebble falling down a cliff.
@Atlas maybe compared to humans.
I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that some single-cell organisms are much larger than the majority of the multi-cellular creatures.
I know some are huge
Multicellular organisms usually have very small cells. Single-celled organisms can afford to go much bigger
@Matthew Watson egg
Think about it in the sense of speed of information transmission and its ability to react
@D Joseph Is the yolk not having any cells?
Imagine if you died your skin just burst open and leaks muscle and blood and organs everywhere
I'd rather not, thank you very much.
Sounds like what whales do
you can if you get deadly amounts of radioation. it could happen slowly.
Sounds a lot more natural and sustainable than the BS being done to bodies especially in the states...
the true blood vamps lol
I like how Hank narrated this channel with very different style compared to SciShow
The SJW?
Wow, I only recognised his voice after seeing this comment 🤯😅
Indeed a very pleasant, solemn and engaging narration style 🤓👏
I thought it was scishow before I saw the channel name but then I thought nah no way Hank can't be everywhere like that
@Eldred let me guess, you claim to prefer "facts and logic" except for when they go against your worldview?
I feel like there’s a certain beauty to this channel that hank is really able to bring out with how he speaks, specifically how he speaks in these videos.
Wow. The way the cell membrane seemingly reassembles at the end before suddenly bursting is really fascinating. Poor lil dude. Thanks for sharing, guys!
One last try...
I love how you refine our childlike curiosity for our reality that has always been within us
Perfectly summarised.
I am growing bacterias in glass cup, I watch sometimes there and understand what a big game is going on in it, some species extinct, hunters for hunters, everybody tries to survive.
Yes!
Could you do a vid specifically about the common type of organisms you'd find on the outside of a human body? I wanna see the lil guys hanging out on my skin/eyes/hair/etc.
our microbiom contains of millions of unknown species
This would be incredible!
The life of our life. The microbes we owe our existence too.
Yikes!
The inhabitants of this planet "Me" 😎
I dont wanna
Best content on YouTube, hands down.
why tf i am crying over a microscopic little cute cell fighting death
hell no
@Erik Kovacs if it doesn't then you're dumb asf simple
Agreed. Could watch this all night and be so smart I could skip school
No
(undergoes lysis) Mr. Hank I don't feel so good.....
Mr stark
Haha you captured the essence of why that movie was so stupid bro lol
That amoeba probably ate at tacobell
Mr. Hank Greeeeen
Wait, lysis?
Mr. Hank, I don't feel so good... * POP *
Wonderful content! One little thing though, I never really stop to think how big "200x" magnification is, if I see a measure of length I think it would be much more intuitive to think how big the thing you're looking at is. Just a little line under or next to the magnification that shows the length of for example 1mm or 100μm. Either way, love this series!
i'm pretty sure anything put there wouoldn't do you any good, as the size of that scale will change based in window size, screen PPI, etc.
@Sleeping Cocoon I don't think so, if you take a picture of something next to a ruler, you will be able to tell the size either you're on your phone or tv.
So they could very well add some sort of scale, it's size will change with the screen, but the rest of the image too.
@mmtruooao It will have the same focus on a bigger screen, lines won't get blurrier, just less dpi. That's the problem, with varying dpi, magnification means nothing.
Do the math, 200x means 200x = 1x
200mm on the screen = 1mm irl
200µm = 1µm
@ameunier41 The fact nobody gets your point is fucked
Judging by the way that he evaporated into nothing, I’d say this has something to do with Micro Thanos
i dont see any thanites
all of us.. is just bigger version of them...
Seem like "joke" is the only thing in you people's brain nowaday
@OMDANO nice
@Linh Nguyen you're a joke
The lacyrmaria is creepy wtf. You saw it poking OUT of the slide??
all of us.. is just bigger version of them...
@Andrew Wolfenstein It's all fun and games until you close a door for privacy! 😬
@Kasper 🤣🤣🤣
@Andrew Wolfenstein can you reach me from all the way over there...? 🤭😏
insert scary movie 2 clown gif
@Andrew Wolfenstein now we can tell Earl where Tremors/ Graboids came from.
I think it'd be awesome if this channel started a series of the micro universe inside our own bodies, and how it all works together.
would be cool but probably really hard to film though lol
I adore this channel.
Me too!!
Same
Shoddy! Are ya still making videos?
Only god can be adored !! 🤲🤲
J'adore el phantom
Damn I'm just addicted to watching these. The narration, the music, the subtle movements of the cells in their environment.
All of it is just so alien! I love it man, don't ever stop making these kinda videos. They're educational and entertaining,
Growing up bio was always a personal interest of mine.
But it was always presented in such a dry and boring way.
This is exactly the kinda educational content we should be teaching with! 💎
Such a calm, soothing voice, compared to some of the other channels :-) Keep up the good work !
Surely one of the most interesting, and calming channels on YouTube
Hank: "Bring out your dead."
Tardigrade: "I'm not dead."
KarlBunker "I'm getting better!"
"No your not, you'll be dead any minute"
I'm getting better!
I FEEL HAPPY
Actually one of my favorite channels on youtube. I love these unknown, unexplored fields of science!
While I believe that all sciences are still filled with many mysteries (it's what I love about the sciences) I don't think it fair of you to think of microbiology as unknown or unexplored. Far from it as it has long been the focus of lots and lots of great science. There was a time when I fancied it as it is close as I would ever get to exploring an alien world. In the end, however, I picked marine studies as the oceans are also alien worlds to us and one can visit them in a more tactile way.

Microbiology is far from unknown or unexplored. It's actually one of the oldest systematic natural sciences, starting more or less immediately after the invention of the microscope (1650 or so)
This is the best series on Youtube at the moment. Thank you so much for your hard work in writing these videos and getting this footage! It's wonderful to find a new appreciation for microbiology.
Well Hank, you did it. You made the best channel on YouTube.
I rate this a “surprisingly-heartbreaking/10”.
Like many, I'm just here to say great content ! Beautiful pictures and superb narration.
I think this is my favorite channel here.
Keep up the good work !
When that unknown cell died, i cried
@Real Donald Trump thank you, trump
@Real Donald Trump mexican cells always going into our mitochondrias and invading our cellular wall yes we are a plant country our plasmic membrane does not allow those people into this country we have a proud nuclei with alot of heritage and dna in it and yes i would like to be your nuclei
what the hell happened here
superj1e2z6 You fucking child 👶
Grow up snowflake
I love this series! Thank you for exposing more of the beauty of nature.
When I was in grad school (neurobiology, in the zoology department), I had intracellular electrodes recording the electrical activity of a single nerve cell and outputting to a speaker. After my protocol was done, I decided to listen to the cell die, instead of just cleaning my bench and move on. For about 40 minutes, I heard that cell's activity get more and more irregular and disordered, until it finally fell silent.
"It is only ever in the mysteries that knowledge is waiting to be found." -Hank Green
I'm keeping that one, thank you!
Your team is amazing ,this channel is amazing ,microcosmos is amazing ! thank you ! :)
Great stuff as ever James, Hank and Andrew. One of the best channels on YouTube ever... Keep up The Great Work.

..............is it weird that i want hank to speak at my funeral like this
calmly, quietly, clinically yet also with sympathy
Just a matter of how big of a patreon you are. And if you are a BIG enough patreon of his channels, his sorrow and sadness will also be very sincere.
@Frank Schneider lololol
“It is only ever in the mysteries that knowledge is able to be found.”
UltimateKyuubiFox
Sounds incredibly deep, but is incredibly shallow. It's identical to stating: "You can only gain knowledge about something not yet fully understood". Quacks often use tsuch kind of mythological phrasing to sell their obscure antiscientific bullshit. For the same reason, scientists usually refrain from using it.
Frank Schneider It’s... literally a quote from Hank in this video.
UltimateKyuubiFox
Yes I know, but just because he talks metaphysical nonsense, doesn't make it true.
@Frank Schneider macrophage is gay
@Frank Schneider this is true words of wisdom you're welcome
Thanks for making this channel hank. Its amazing. Im sure youll never run out of information on the microcosmos.
Great content as usual <3 Keep it up! Love it! And many thanks :)
I love this channel, it’s relaxing and extremely educational!
Great video! Very nicely narrated, smooth and unrushed, and very informative, you really did take me on a journey through the microcosmos. And excellent footage of course from "Jam's germs", his footage was always good but got even better when he upgraded his microscope.
Another great take on a world previously unknown to me. Keep it up you guys!
This is a fantastic series, thank you!
Awesome video! It would've been great if you could've shown a clip of a cell undergoing apoptosis, just to show how cells can die in different ways
Outstanding content! It would be really nice to have a short video showing the equipment you use and how you get such perfect images on video. This seems to be much more difficult than buying a good quality microscope and camera! (I'm up to $1000 now!)
Thank you for listening to our feedback on missing things on the screen sometimes and providing with the attention catching circle. Very useful and tasteful!
Just discovered this channel and it's amazing. Is there any home use microscope that I could use at home to see similar stuff to this? As well as human blood samples? (I'm a nurse)
The content in this video is the most fascinating, interesting and informative I have ever witnessed. It has answered many of my questions I've pondered for a long time. Thank you for creating the video and posting it.
I don't know why I feel so sad after watching this video.....that second mysterious struggle to stabilize life....albeit momentarily. Death......oh that most debilitating part of life.
l
I think that response speaks deeply about the human capacity for empathy.
It is in this death we see our own death
Me too...after four or five rewiews
You do what you do, so very well. Thank you and your team too.
Keep it up, we need more content like this on this platform
This is so poetic. Great job y’all!
I love your videos so much, thank you for providing quality content
This is wonderful content and a very fitting homage to Carl Sagan. Hank, you do a great job capturing both the softness in Sagan´s voice from the original series as well as the joy there is in understanding a little more about the world around us. Bravo.

Imagine if your death made you briefly famous among thousands of creatures of unimaginable size and intelligence, and of whose existence you never knew.

"Imagine if" I dont think we could imagine it though

@MayTheGamer 12 Would be cool, but judging by the size of the observable universe (and how empty it is) those bigger creatures would need insanely powerful microscopes. lol

@Frank Schneider I know this was 2 years ago but I only just saw this. It's honestly a possibility for both scenarios. Someone could step in and help, or someone can step in and take advantage of your moment of need. Though it's most likely for people to do something due to the bystander effect
