Glass would be been selected for a reason. While fragile when dropped, it is easily sterilised, doesn’t warp, doesn’t age like plastic, and is not opaque like steel, so the seeds can easily be checked without opening the container. Considering the samples will be stored for potentially hundreds of years, glass is the perfect choice! :)

We are aware that humans don't live forever but his legacy are not the documentaries but rather the love and curiosity to understand and protect life on earth. This at least is what i believe and think of when watching his videos, especially now that we are at a turning point of existence. i'm sure the biggest sign of appreciation for him would be to be everyday a little bit kinder to nature.

So theoretically, when this current path we're on takes us to our inevitable demise, there could be seeds that remain buried and safe until the world is ready to recover.
@charlie-obrien 9 ай бұрын
The very existence of KEW is kind of a sad admission that we are at least partially likely to end life on this planet. So the seeds are a safeguard that we only destroy human and animal life. I, however like to look on the bright side and hope for another asteroid instead of being wiped out by our own hubris.

There are single trees in the US that have been dated to be over 3,000 years old. Then there is a tree in Norway called Old Tjikko its roots are said to be nearly 10,000 years old. Then there is a clonal colony of aspen trees in Utah that have been cloning itself and spreading for the last 80,000 years, and it is considered one organism composed of 40,000 trunks.

This is a very smart and may be a species saving move doing this , I think the scientist in this video were saying " no need to worry , be terrified for if we don't do this we could very quickly lose all plants. " Then we will surly lose our lives . The video ends rather strangely .
